Updates

Mike | August 13, 2007

Just wanted to give y’all (can you tell I’m from the South?) an update on some things going on in my life and ministry:

In the process of incorporating the ministry. I’m waiting on the incorporation papers to come back so I can get with my accountant to file as a non-profit.
Found out my [...]

Moving Forward

Mike | May 19, 2007

Yesterday, I signed the incorporation papers making ManHeart Ministries a corporation.  That was was huge step for me.  It’s significant in the fact that I am moving forward – official-like.  That will be filed with the state and made official within the week.
The next step is to take everything to my accountant to file with [...]

It’s Official

Mike | May 17, 2007

No More Christian Nice Guy

Mike | January 6, 2007

I’ve been reading through a book I have come to find both intriguing and challenging. It’s Paul Coughlin’s No More Christian Nice Guy. In it Coughlin posits the idea that our culture and our churches are creating “Christian Nice Guys” and in doing so are damaging our families, our boys, our men, and [...]

Mike | January 3, 2007

So guys, what’s going to be new this year? What are you going to do differently? What are you going to start you’ve been meaning to start for some time now? What will you change about you?

Men and Faith

Mike | December 27, 2006

I was going through my study time with God this morning – I’m walking through Max Lucado’s study, Experiencing the Heart of Jesus.  This week’s study is on experiencing Jesus’ power.  This morning our focus was on faith and how faith allows us to experience – to allow our life to intersect with – Jesus’ [...]

Christmas and Manhood

Mike | December 19, 2006

Ever wondered what it must have been like for Joseph, Mary’s husband? Here’s a guy who is betrothed to a young girl. Now the concept of betrothal does not exist in our 21st Century American culture. For Joseph, Mary, their families, and the Jewish leaders (remember the church and civic leaders were [...]

Fears

Mike | November 24, 2006

One of the things that keeps us from being the men that God designed and desires us to be is FEAR. Fear of failure, fear of loosing control, fear of what others will think of us, fear of the unknown, fear of . .you name it.
Fear in and of itself is not bad. [...]

Manliness

Mike | November 11, 2006

To help men become the men God designed and desires them to be I will, on occasion, invite others to provide some input. This post comes from my pastor, Ed Litton. He wrote this on his blog on Monday, October 23. He has given me permission to re-post it here.

In his book, [...]

4th and Final Step

Mike | November 10, 2006

If you’ve been following the progression of things you know that to become the man that God designed and desires us to be we must begin with RELATIONSHIP, move to LORDSHIP (this is where God’s in charge of everything in my life. . .and yours), progress to WORSHIP (where we have an undying passion for [...]
