And as I was kind of making some notes of things I wanted to talk about and just in reflection of what I believe I'm learning in this season of life right now.

One, what it truly means to be a man.

in today's age, society, and world.

We were sitting in church two weeks ago and our pastor, who's Pastor Joe Champion of Celebration Church, he made a comment that I had to write down and it's been in the back of my mind since.

And he said, the world is constantly, especially right now,

trying to deconstruct men.

And it's our job, and he's talking in terms of the church, but I believe I have a responsibility to build men back up while the world is trying to deconstruct them, deconstruct us.

You can build men back up physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.

I feel that calling.

I feel that responsibility.

I can also feel the enemy working against it and against us.

Like the enemy is attempting to distract men, to deconstruct men, to make this world a more dark, dangerous, evil place.

So what's it truly mean to be a man?

There's a book that I recommend by Pastor Joby Martin titled Stand Firm and Act Like Men.

It's a great book.

Highly recommend it to all men.

values and beliefs that he personally believes in, not the values and beliefs of the world or the values and beliefs of people he follows or values and beliefs of his balls or the people in his inner circle.

What are your values and are you rooted in those values and beliefs?

Or are you a chameleon and your values and beliefs evolve, transform, and change based off who you're around?

That's a dangerous person.
