Well, happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends. This is one of those days where I feel like I’m the only one out here on the Internet.

  • Authority

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists.
