Getting out of the house with kids can be a test of patience. I often ask them if they are ready and they say “yes,” but when I check on them they have no shoes.

From New Recruits to Battle-Hardened Veterans: 1 John 2:12–29 shows how Christian men can grow, fight temptation, and lead others with strength and grace
Every man of faith is somewhere on the battlefield of spiritual growth. Some are new recruits—freshly enlisted in Christ’s service, still learning the discipline of obedience. Others are young warriors—tested but still sharpening their skills, fighting temptation head-on.

From “Knights of Fatherhood” to “Knights of The Father”
When Knights of Fatherhood first began, our focus was squarely on encouraging and equipping fathers. Over time, however, our focus has shifted.

Spiritual Boxing: Fighting with Purpose
Perhaps you’ve seen it before—two boys squaring off in the backyard. No technique. No plan. Just wild swings, heads down, eyes closed, arms flailing like windmills. No good punches land. No real fight happens. Just a lot of wasted effort and bruised egos. It’s a funny picture when it’s kids. But it’s a tragedy when … Continue reading Spiritual Boxing: Fighting with Purpose
