The Call to Follow Christ

The Call to Follow Christ

Jan 19, 2024 by Authentic Manhood
As Jesus said, following Him requires a complete surrender of ourselves in obedience to Him: “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it” (Matt. 16:24-25). ... read more

All great golfers seem to have a defining shot. There have been so many through the years. One of my favorites, however, was Phil Mickelson's second shot from the pine straw of the 13th hole during the final round of the 2010 Masters. ... read more

Our thoughts, and the emotions they produce, drive our lives forward for good or evil. Satan knows this. More to the heart of the issue, our emotions powerfully influence our perceptions of reality, and those perceptions ultimately drive our behaviors. Satan knows this too. ... read more

The Identity Crisis in Men

Apr 18, 2023 by Bill Delvaux
There is an identity crisis in men today. I see the symptoms of it everywhere I look: In the exhaustion of men who run too hard or just run away. In the inner turbulence they bring to their marriages and families. In the binding power of addictions that imprison a man’s soul. And finally in the tragic gender deconstruction of our culture. ... read more
The Real Story Behind St. Patrick's Day

The Real Story Behind St. Patrick's Day

Mar 13, 2023 by Bill Delvaux
St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner. We mostly think of wearing green to celebrate, but the man behind the holiday has held a growing fascination for me. Perhaps it’s because he lived as a missionary, something I wanted to become when I was a young man. Or perhaps it’s the autobiography he wrote, simply called Confessio, a document that is the starting point for Irish history. Or perhaps it’s the legacy he left. The Irish church was largely responsible for keeping Christianity... read more
The Power of the Playbook

The Power of the Playbook

Jan 26, 2023 by Authentic Manhood
Because Jesus knew He needed to rely on God’s Word, He was willing to memorize it and use it as a defense against the Enemy. Having Scripture in His mind kept Him strong in the face of temptation and allowed Him to keep His relationship with God perfect (see Psalm 119:9-16). This was all a part of the preparation for executing the ultimate play. Jesus had to follow the playbook. ... read more

The Two Choices of Love

Dec 7, 2022 by Bill Delvaux
In my work with men over the years, and now especially as a spiritual director, there is one issue that keeps surfacing. It’s not porn or infidelity. It’s not addictions or anxieties. Underneath all of these, I see something else. Here it is: ... read more

The Disease of Silence

It’s true that Eve ate the fruit. But curiously, when God came looking for the responsible party, it was Adam he called out to instead of his wife. Evidently, Adam was ultimately responsible. We read in the text, “The LORD God called out to the man and said to him, ‘Where are you?’ ” (Gen 3:9). Notice that by using the name LORD God, the writer reasserted God’s authority that Satan had tried to subvert. But also notice that God didn’t call out, “Adam? Eve? Where are... read more
