On today's PoM podcast I sat down with Jarrett Bailey author of Iron Sharpens Iron: A Machinist's Handbook for the Soul
Jarrett wrote this book in honor of his father Ernest Bailey who ran a small machine shop in a rural community for nearly 40 years. His son Jarrett grew up in it — and in Iron Sharpens Iron, he takes readers back into that shop, one devotion at a time.
This isn't a devotional wearing a machinis...

On today's PoM Podcast episode I sat down with Paul Pettit, a multi-published author and Dallas Theological Seminary teacher to discuss his latest book, "A Courageous Identity: Accepting the Call of Christ-Centered Masculinity."
What does it really mean to be a man of faith? It’s not about being perfect. It’s about becoming increasingly effective in the daily roles of husband, dad, friend, and worker.&nbs...
On today's PoM podcast we are going to continue our conversation about what it means to "Burn The Ships" in our life and talk about Burning The Ship of Our Old Identity.
The person you used to be.
The person you were told you were.
The person you became because of your failures.
The person you became because of your wounds.
The person you became because of your past.
We all have this tension, but here's the problem:
...
Burn the Ships. It's an old phrase, but it's a powerful one.
The basic idea is simple: If you want to move forward, sometimes you have to eliminate your ability to escape.
You've got to burn the ships. You've got to remove the escape route.
You've got to stop keeping one foot in the old life while trying to walk into the new one.
And for the Christian man, that's an incredibly important concept.

How much of what occupied your mind wasn't actually yours to deal with? How much mental or relational energy did you waste on things that didn't matter today?
Someone else's political opinion that made your blood pressure spike. A stranger's marriage falling apart in the comments section. A headline about something four states away you have zero ability to affect.
Now ask the harder question: how...
Nearly every man either carries or is closely connected to a device that constantly asks him: what do you think? What's happening? Are you watching? How will you respond or react?
It's not just that we're being notified constantly, there is a whole infrastructure of daily life built to cost you something. Miss the news cycle and you feel behind. Don't react to the thing everyone's reacting to and you fe...
Daily every man is constantly making a choice:
• What will I believe?
• Who will influence me?
• How will I spend my time?
• What will I allow into my home?
• What kind of husband and father will I be?
• Will I pursue comfort or conviction?
Every choice we make is taking us somewhere.

Make it your ambition. We don't put those two words next to each other. Ambition means you're building something loud, a name, a platform, a business, a reputation. Quiet is what you get accused of when you're not doing enough of that.
As we have this conversation I want us to consider: "What does a quiet life actually build, over twenty or thirty years, that the loud life never quite manages to?"

There is nothing wrong with influence.
There is nothing wrong with having a large platform.
There is nothing wrong with being known.
There is nothing wrong with being gifted.
The problem comes when the platform becomes more important than the message.
When the messenger becomes more important than the Gospel.
When people come to church because they want to see someone rather than because they want to encounter God.
When we...
On today's PoM podcast I am going to share some of the things I have learned when it comes to creating communities with men and the challenges to get them to be consistent.
Consistency is not flashy. It doesn’t post well on social media. But it is the difference between a man who talks about faithfulness and a man who becomes faithful.
Paul told Timothy to “practice these things, immerse yourself in ...
On today's PoM podcast I am going to share 10 ways we can change up the way we read our Bible and how it impacts our day.
To often I have fallen into the trap of reading the Bible the same way everyday and then wondering why I get stagnant. Or using my personal worship time as a chance to find a verse that I can use later in the day with others instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to really work on me.&n...
On today's PoM podcast I am going to share an incredible experience I had recently where decades of relationships all came together in about a 10 foot space in the most unexpected way.
We serve a God who declares the end from the beginning. A God who has made it clear that before we were known He had formed us, so when we see how He brings these stories together all we can do is give glory to Him. ...
On today's PoM podcast I am going to talk about 3 specific invitations I received when I was far from God.
There were three people that invited me to things that, looking back I can't believe that they did. Because they extended the invitation and I accepted it, it put me in a position to surrender to Jesus and spend my days walking with the Lord.

On today's Podcast we take a look at how we can pass on to the next generation the things we did not recieve but now recognize we should have.
It is impossible to be all things to our children, we are going to come up short in some or many areas. What we want to do is take ownership in the areas where we know we are lacking and should not be.
You don't need to have every skill, but when it ...

On today's PoM Podcast episode we take a look at what we could or should expect from the communities we are part of.
One of the challenges in men's ministry is we are looking for something in a space that was never intended to provide what we want.
When we understand that there are signifigant differences between accountability, discipleship, and Bible study we can save ourselves and others a lot of stress...
