Today’s Brave Men Motivation from our friend and ally Mike Kai—founder and pastor of Inspire Church in Honolulu—urges us as we prepare for a new year, to grab the opportunity to "get our stuff back!"  As I reflect on the powerful story of David, who reclaimed everything that was taken from him, I am reminded of the strength and determination we all possess to recover what we have lost. David’s triumph is not just a tale from the past; it's a blueprint for us today. He recovered all - flocks, herds, and every bit of plunder. This victory echoes a profound truth: it's time for us t ..read more

    Holy redeemed ambition is a gift. God doesn't want to anoint worldly ambition, a bunch of men building kingdoms of selves who dishonor God with their influence. God wants humble men with holy ambition leveraged together to build the kingdom of heaven on earth. This is the way of Jesus. Jesus was wholly ambitious, embodied. When Jesus was in heaven, and He looked at the world in all of its sin, He didn’t say not my people, not my problem. Jesus looked over the throne of glory to the broken humanity, and He said, it's not my fault, but it's my responsibility. Jesus had a kingdom v ..read more

The story of one man cuts like a knife across the surging discord of culture. Elijah, Joseph, David - each man's story deeply penetrates our hearts. And that's the story of our brother Phuong. Phuong from DaNang and in the picture above he's doing an incredible presentation on CMN curriculum in Saigon. And, you can see some of the men he's mentoring in DaNang. Here's the connection... He first heard about CMN & Maximized Manhood when we did the "Never Quit" broadcast in September of 2020. He grabbed the materials as a 29-yr-old ex-drug addict and began to learn what a real man was. Then h ..read more

Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit. A business friend restated this, “Winners are not those who never fail, but those who failed and got mad.” Whatever adversity you are facing, you may make mistakes as you work it out, but you keep working it. The only thing you cannot do is quit. Quitting is not your option … failure is not fatal, but quitting is. Be bold, be brave. Never Quit!

Today’s Brave Men Motivation comes from Bishop Dale Bronner. He is a father, church planter, leadership trainer and key CMN Board Member. Let today’s motivation sink in and fire you up. God expects us as men to be men of courage and strength. One of the things that Joshua received from God was to be strong and very courageous. That word courageous is really the Old Testament word for faith, like we have in the New Testament. You only find the word faith a couple of times in the Old Testament, but you find courage several times because courage is the evidence of faith. And it really comes from ..read more

A tattered first printing of the million-selling book Maximized Manhood by CMN founder Edwin Louis Cole features a picture with Pat Robertson. Pat was instrumental in launching this ministry. He was a champion for ministry to men. Most people know Pat as a famous broadcaster who pioneered Christian television around the world. Others know him as an evangelist, humanitarian, and businessman who built enormous compassion ministries, a major university, as well as businesses and ministries. His family knows him as a loving husband, dad, and grandfather.  All of us saw Pat as a passionate ..read more

I’m on the flight home from Cairo, Egypt. My heart is fired up - faith is strong - I can see the victories ahead. It won’t be easy. But, it will be a game changer. We will help our brothers raise up mighty men of God across the Middle East! Paul said about his stay at Ephesus, “… a wide door for effective ministry has opened - yet there are many adversaries.” We have this in the Middle East and the twenty-two Arabic nations. Open doors and adversaries. The leading pastors and churches we met with in Cairo were blessed to receive us and to work as allies in a new Christian men’s movement in ..read more

Paul and members of the CMN team have been conducting ministry this week on a Middle East trip kept quiet for safety. Today, they've conducted pastor and leader training in Egypt to launch an all-out campaign to the Arabic-speaking men of the world. Please join the team in prayer. This is one of the most significant doors in the history of this ministry to men--an outreach to men who are in desperate need of Jesus.. The response from the leaders there has been "beyond awesome," Paul texted. "We're fired up!" Watch the update from Paul recorded at the foot of the great pyramids. One CMN Te ..read more

I had a friend that was fitted for prescription glasses. It changed everything. He realized he had been squinting his eyes to see, to read, to work, and people thought he was continually upset or filled with anxiety. Now that he could focus, he could relax. Everything became clear. And he no longer pushed people away with negative facial cues. Focus is what gets things done. The ability to shut out the noise changes everything.  The problem comes in our understanding of what it means to focus.  As men, we lean into working harder, pushing stronger, and straining our reach. The b ..read more
