The Declaration of Independence was a document that laid out the reasons why the American colonies were about to go to war. Like an editorial, it was meant to be widely distributed, in an age before telegraphs, telephones or the Internet.

Scripture presents a pathway to influence—one that runs through humility, surrender, and even brokenness. This idea is uncomfortable because it challenges the instinct to protect image and maintain control.

A disciple is a life-long student, one who studies along with others, and then lives out those teachings in daily life. The key to a relationship with Christ is to be a disciple—and also to make disciples.

Today, many pastors quietly admit what few are willing to say out loud: men’s ministry, as a structured and ongoing discipleship effort, has disappeared in nearly all churches. The data tells a sobering story.

Whoever thought that “what is a man?” would be a controversial question in our culture! Male messages pull in opposite directions—some encouraging passivity and disengagement, others promoting dominance without character.

To live with strength and consistency, a man must learn to guard his heart—developing both emotional and spiritual resilience that allows him to remain steady under pressure.

Self-centered leadership is a subtle and destructive pitfall for a leader. It rarely begins with obvious arrogance or selfish intent. It manifests subtly—through small decisions and unchecked pride.

Empathetic leadership begins with seeing people not as resources to be managed, but as individuals to be valued. Empathy is increasingly recognized as a defining strength, not a weakness.

The idea of “Jesus take the wheel” is more than a lyric from a hit song; it is a posture of surrender. In leadership, especially, the temptation to control outcomes, protect reputations, and rely solely on personal ability is constant.

esus Christ defined leadership not as a pursuit of status, but as a commitment to serve. For men seeking to lead well, the challenge is not simply to succeed within the world’s system, but to embody a different kind of leadership altogether.

If a successful CEO is going to tell you something he wants you to remember, it tends to come out as a sentence that encapsulates a big idea. He told me, “Always follow up. Don’t forget with people to follow up. It will make or break your leadership.”

Discipleship is not designed to be confined to church settings or private devotion. It is a way of life that extends into every arena, including the workplace.

It’s your Comfort Zone. That place where you know the answer to every question that may arise, and you’ve spent time setting up boundaries so that you’ll never have to risk, test or experience discomfort.

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language. His works include plays, sonnets and other narrative poems.

Every leader, no matter how experienced or well-intentioned, will eventually make a wrong decision. The defining character quality is not whether mistakes happen, but how they are handled.

Biblical manhood is not defined by status or strength, but by character, responsibility, and a life oriented toward Christ and others. Godly leadership is not about control; it is about stewardship.

Pope John Paul II emerged from a turbulent period in European history to become one of the most influential global leaders of the twentieth century. Born Karol Józef Wojtyła in Wadowice, Poland, his early life was marked by death and hardship.

Do you doubt yourself and your qualifications for leadership? Do you look at your skills, talents and accomplishments with a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud? Self-doubt, anxiety and fear of being “found out” can cloud the mind.

A creed is a formal statement of essential beliefs. The word “creed” comes from the Latin “credo” meaning, “I believe.” You can adopt The Brothers’ Creed as a statement of belief for your Men’s Table.

Avoid the temptation to “ramp up” over a few weeks, and instead launch with excitement, a clear purpose and a solid direction. Here are a few things to keep in mind for a great Men’s Table Launch.

Mark Twain was one of the most celebrated writers and cultural commentators in American history. Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Missouri, Twain was raised in the town of Hannibal along the Mississippi River.

Fidelity is rare. It requires our allegiance to something greater than ourselves. The value of fidelity to a leader is not a loyalty that just serves customers or a company. Rather, it is fidelity to one’s character and values.

You communicate goals and objectives, give motivation and encouragement, gather and disseminate information, and more. But the “when” of your communication may have a negative consequence.

As you go through our Life and Career Planning process, you’re investing time in personal development. A great supplement to this journey is to take in some of the experience and wisdom of others.

Authenticity is the factor in your character that helps you live as your true self. Authenticity helps you to make good decisions, influence others, maintain consistent values, convey a sense of purpose, and have a strong self-awareness.

Frank Winfield Woolworth was an American entrepreneur, and founder of the F. W. Woolworth Company. He pioneered the retail variety stores which featured low-priced merchandise selling for 5 and 10 cents.

As a leader you do not have all the answers. Smart leaders surround themselves with people whose knowledge, skills and experience supplement their own.

The educational system you were brought up in started early with art and music and other creative arts when you were in Kindergarten. As you got older, your studies quickly shifted away from creative activities to math, science, social studies, computers.

Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English Apologist. His sharp writing style made him a prominent figure in earth twentieth century literature. Among his works were Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man.
