When an angry crowd wanted Jesus dead, He didn't panic, beg, or change His message. He just kept walking. Could you?

Danny Bourgos continues our journey through Proverbs with a look at what it means to stay on the path when everything is trying to knock you off it. Careers, money, relationships, social media, other people's opinions, your own desires — the pulls come from every direction. This episode points to the ultimate example of a man who never let circumstances decide His direction: Jesus, who knew who He was, who had sent Him, and where He was going, no matter what stood in the way.

You can't control what stands in your way, but you can control whether you keep walking. Jesus stayed the course not because His life was easy, but because He knew where He was going. That's the kind of man we're called to be: one who doesn't change his values depending on who's in the room, doesn't walk away from God when life gets hard, and keeps his eyes fixed on the Father rather than the crowd.

Verse of the Day: Proverbs 4:11–13

Welcome!

The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world.

Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader. You’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. And you’ll know you’re not standing alone, because men everywhere are waking up to fight the same battle.

Your hosts are Steve Alessi, pastor of Metro Life Church of Miami, FL, along with his sons and other leaders of our Goodfellas men's ministry.
