CS Lewis…”We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We castrate and bid the geldings ‘be fruitful.’” - MEN, we are called to something greater! Be men of courageous character, physical strength, and unafraid of the hard conversation.
Brothers, stop asking your Christian brothers for discounts for their goods and services. Romans 12:10 “Outdo one another in showing honor.”
Go so far as to offer to overpay. The service provider should strive to over-serve.
This is how we build into Christendom.
@RealCandaceO
Not at all. When you live a fulfilling life with Christ at the center, an amazing wife, wonderful children, a supportive church community, and a career that brings joy… there’s no need for a mid-life crisis.
Amazing what -40lbs of bodyweight, (nutrition and strength from

does for your appearance and confidence.

In January of this year, I got tired of being a fat CEO of a fitness company and decided to change things. Here was my strategy to go from fat and unhealthy to jacked and healthy in just two short months. A thread.. 1/
There’s a Baptist pastor I coach (a good dude) who has faced the wrong direction in the squat rack 10-15x in a row even though I’ve admonished him every single time.
1. Are these grounds for church discipline at this point?
2. Should he be allowed to take/administer communion?
I publicly disavow:
1. Unspoken prayer requests
2. Christians who ask for a discount
3. Crocs
4. Chain restaurants
5. Canned vegetables
6. Prosperity gospel
7. Big tobacco
8. Big Eva
9. Big coffee
10. American corporate beer
11. Craft bourbon- Big bourbon is better, fight me
Little afternoon project at my cabin… (with two years of food down here and 10,000 rounds of ammo, it’s one of the last steps to living down here, if necessary).
Humblebrag… in January I was convicted about weighing 300lbs (my competitive strongman weight) and have since dropped over 50lbs. Bloodwork results from Jan 20-June 6: Triglycerides from 1529 to 217. Cholesterol from 291 to 141. HBA1C from 8.1 to 5.1.
If my reformed postmil brothers would apply that type of thinking to their fitness - and play the long game - their long term sustainable fitness would be much much better. Too many guys want to look good for the vacation or the public speaking event. Change your mindset.

I’ll be honest. Fight Laugh Feast completely sold me on Psalm singing. A thousand people, including lots of children all belting out the Psalms in four-part-harmony felt like a little glimpse of what Heaven will be like.
One of our favorite parts of the Fight Laugh Feast Conference is singing psalms! Don't miss it this year! Get your tickets at .
See you in Kentucky October 11-14
Unpopular opinion?… I love the 4th of July but I hate fireworks. Always have. A really professional show is one thing, but families who can barely afford groceries lighting off $600 in fireworks in their driveway while drunk on Natty Light is another.
While I believe what

@johnlindell
have any business being pastors… and this is the real problem.
Breaking! John Lindell slams Dricsoll in deleted sermon. Says Alex Magala is a married born-again Christian with children and attends church, and "Mark has repeatedly engaged in sinful behavior...to sell books, get clicks." Video 1 of 3.

. Of note, I'm down 63lbs since January and happy to talk about that process.
Shoulders have always been my weakest muscle group so finally hitting 135 today felt fantastic.
Now I’m at 1 plate for press, 2 for bench, and 4 for deadlift. Just need to get to 3 for squat.
Thank you to

for giving me the opportunity to talk about the value of strength (to glorify God) especially among the reformed community. If you listen to this and need help getting started or changing momentum, PLEASE reach out to me!
The belief that someone would be a better athlete if they were single digit bodyfat is FALSE
It’s hard for the general public to understand, but if you have worked with Athletes, you see people who are athletic, despite being thicker
If they were to diet hard, they’d simply
I still have a long way to go, but these first two months have shown that a focus on the most important things leads to the most effective ROI. Don’t major in the minors.

I’m not sure if I’m ready for the Men’s Intensive. I got choked up three times tonight at dinner; telling my 12 year old stories about my grandparents, my wife’s grandparents…and singing Randy Travis’ “Forever and ever, Amen.”
Need to sack up, or I’m going to get made fun of.
16. Finally, 14 days after initially getting sick, I turned a corner and started feeling a bit better. Symptoms have continued to diminish the past 4 days. Nearly 100% now. Still in isolation through the end of the month, but it appears I successfully weathered the storm.

Too often I see people majoring-in-the-minors like demonizing seed oils, city water w fluoride/chlorine, soy, etc and championing mobility, cold plunge, sauna, & supplements. While true, if you aren’t TRAINING and eating enough protein it’s like a man building his house on sand.
