The battle for and against biblical manhood in society today is a massive battle that is being waged on many levels. While the devil seeks to destroy families and undermine biblical male leadership, God wants men to be equipped and challenged to be the loving, strong husbands, fathers, and leaders that they were created to be. In the pages of A Good Man Is Hard to Find: Adam, Where Are You? Pastor Michael Henderson seeks to offer such a challenge to men. Using the story of Adam and Eve, along with personal experience, Pastor Michael Henderson seeks to redefine manhood according to…

My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have three school aged children. My husband is a great provider but it seems it just ends there. I know he loves me and the kids, but he just isn’t “involved” in our lives. He leaves the majority of the duties of raising our kids to me. Wake up, breakfast, getting them ready for school, school activities, after school activities, homework, projects, play dates, parties, bed time, everything is just me. He has no clue what is going on in their lives unless I tell him. He does…

For the last few years, particularly after my family and I lost my mother who was very much the spiritual glue in the family, I’ve watched my family spiral out of control. Losing touch with God and my mother’s memory, I have seen how that has created a situation where my family has lost touch with one another. Every time I come home, I am reminded how self-centered, individualistic, uncompassionate, hypocritical and cold so many of my loved ones have become. I see how callous and dismissive they can be to my beloved grandmother and it truly breaks my heart.…
A Cedar Rapids, Iowa couple have collected 1.4 million LIKES on Facebook after leaving a huge tip for service that “sucked.” Makenzie and Steven Schultz realized that the restaurant was terribly understaffed, which caused the long delays during every part of their meal. Instead of complaining about the server, they empathized, having once been waiters themselves. On September 27 Makenzie wrote about it on Facebook: ”People all around us were making fun of the restaurant & how bad the service was. At one point we counted he had 12 tables plus the bar. More than any one person could handle!”…
I’m in desperate need of prayer. I’m a 30 something year old woman and have been married to my husband for 7 years. Problem is, I haven’t been in love with him for about 5 of those years. I asked him for a divorce, we started the process, and then I stopped the divorce for fear of dissappointing God. My husband has not cheated on me (not that I know of). He’s a good man . I’m just not in love with him anymore. I don’t want to have sex with him and I know he deserves someone who will love him whole…
Dear Praying Women, I’m looking for some advice that lines up with the Bible. I have recently begun speaking to a guy online and we’ve been chatting regularly. Well, everything seems to be going incredibly well and a lot of our non-negotiables and even preferences on both parts are well matched. This is the first time in years I’ve met someone who has more than just a little potential. The only thing I’d like advice on is that he has had relationships with both women and men before. His most long lasting relationships have been with men. However, he has…
Hello, my fiance and I have been together for almost 5 years now, and have had several break ups during that time. To my knowledge he has never physically cheated on me but he has a problem with communicating inappropriate with other women via email, text, and social media sites. I called off our wedding because months before we were to say I do, I began to get emails and messages from women who he had been having cyber/telephone relationships with. One of the women sent me almost a months worth of screen shot messages of conversations she had been…
I started talking to this guy last November. We decided that we would continue to get to know each other. I waited the 90 days as Steve Harvey said and then took it to the next level. He was very respectful to this. Well, as we continued to hang out. It seemed to be nothing but sex,sex,sex. (months still passing since Nov) I asked could we make time for other things. He keep saying that his schedule was so busy he didn’t have time for a lot of things. He would say wait until the after graduation, or the summer;…
When it comes to relationships, I have the most horrible luck. It’s like I have something tattooed on my forehead that says “use me!”. Most of the men I’ve been in relationships with used me up and then when I figured it out and stop giving, they left. I’m a kind hearted person so if they needed it and I had it, I had no problem with helping them in any way I can. One of my ex boyfriends was physically abusive to me and would take my money. One was verbally abusive. He told me that I would never…

The bible states in 2 Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” The presence of God in your home has the ability to calm fears, eradicate unnecessary attitudes, and also keep everyone focused on the important things in life. Sustaining a Godly atmosphere in your home can positively affect your marriage in more ways than one. Here are 3 ways to have a Godly atmosphere at home. 1. Pray every morning. “Always be joyful, never stop praying. ” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 Prayer has to be your steering…
Walking around with heaviness from having not fully addressing my break up in a matured way, the Holy Spirit prepared me to speak to my ex. I got a heads up in my spirit about him contacting me and shortly afterwards I received an email from him asking to meet up with me later on that week. I was nervous and yet thankful, because in that moment I believed that God was giving me another chance to make things right and to give Him the glory. God can’t get the glory when we take the reins and make a mess…
I have been going through a separation and divorce for the past 2.5 years. It’s been an incredibly long and painful journey. I have come to terms with the divorce and I truly believe that it’s the right thing for myself and my children. The divorce is still not final. I am still legally married. I have been praying for a Godly man to come into my life. I want my children to see what a happy and loving relationship is. I want and need a partner and a spiritual man in my life. I have been very much alone…

I was miserable the day I left for college. As I stood by the door, tears began to fall. All at once, a horrible reality sank in. I’m deaf. Earlier that month I took a fall while barefoot water skiing and instantly went from hard of hearing to deaf. When I climbed in the boat, I noticed my friends’ lips moving but no sound was coming out. I shrugged it off. My hearing had fluctuated before. Surely it was a matter of time and it would come back. As I lay in bed that night, the silence was broken by…
