Mid-Year Evaluation Tool
As we reach the midpoint of the year, let’s use this evaluation to measure our progress in various aspects of life. This tool is designed to help you reflect on your progress, identify areas of strength, and recognize opportunities for growth. It’s an opportunity to correct any areas where you might be off track and to finish the year strong.
Living Out Our Faith
Reflect on James 1:22-24:
James 1:22-24: “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
This passage reminds us of the importance of hearing God’s word and actively living it out in our daily lives. As you go through this evaluation, consider how you can align your actions with your faith, ensuring that you are not merely a listener but a doer of the word.

Why Godly Friendship Is Essential for Spiritual Growth
Maybe you’ve been there — full calendar, empty soul. You’re surrounded by people at work, church, and home, yet you feel isolated and perhaps even unknown. As men, we’re quick to exchange handshakes and conversation about our interests and hobbies, but when it comes to building soul-level connections, many of us keep our distance. It feels too risky, so we settle for shallow — and we suffer for it. But God’s vision for masculine friendship calls us to go deeper. It’s not just about company; it’s about commitment. It’s not just about hanging out, but helping one another become more like Christ. Scripture gives us a picture of brotherhood where men sharpen each other, speak truth in love, stand firm through hardship, and refuse to let one another drift.
5 POWERFUL BIBLICAL LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW
What does it take to be an effective leader? Or perhaps a better question to ask is: What does it mean to be effective as a Christ-follower who has been entrusted with leadership? Many of us are in positions of leadership—in our homes, at work, coaching, in church, or as volunteers. We’ve likely spent some time considering what it looks like to lead well in those spaces.
10 RESOURCES FOR LEADING AS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST
As men, we’re often placed in leadership roles—at work, at home, or in our communities—but we may not have had clear examples of what it looks like to lead as a follower of Christ. Christian leadership stands in contrast to the world’s: it’s marked by humility, not power; servanthood, not self-interest; reliance on God’s strength, not our own. It’s leadership for his glory, not our own.
