Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the experience of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.

Richard Rohr

I have seen men get better and I have seen them go the other way. I have asked God, “What makes the difference?” God has shared much with me—personal, intimate, and critical insights. I believe he wants to reveal them to every man willing to ask questions. God wants to entrust to a man the things he must know to navigate this fallen place and see others, especially his wife and children, brought along with him.

I resolutely hope for an uprising of men, oriented men who will make a kingdom difference in this world—simply by living loved. It is the hardest thing to attain in this world. But it is also the most transforming thing in the universe. So I dare hope for it. I dare believe for it in accordance with Hebrews 11:1:

“Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (NIV)

The Heart of a Warrior

The Heart of a Warrior English

Men have a glorious and significant role in God’s Larger Story. They also are the target of a special warfare aimed continually and ruthlessly at the center of their being… their masculine hearts. Naivety and ignorance keep many men running in circles while misinformation and poor training keep many more in bondage. Men are wounded, frustrated, angry and being crushed under the weight of criticism and expectations. The attempted solutions of recent years is education; tell men what they are doing wrong and give them a list to memorize. This strategy isn’t working and its time we fall back to an Ancient One. What if we are setting men up for failure rather than helping them be free? Join author and guide, Michael Thompson, as he invites men to a place of training and orientation that will ensure both a settled heart and a fierce courage. A man cannot enter this battle without knowing he is a Beloved Son. After all, that is what the battle is all about!
