There’s no question, we are living in truly challenging times. Every few weeks another stunning world circumstance gets laid on our already-burdened shoulders. There is so much confusion, divisiveness, and fear surrounding us that we men, who long to be effective spiritual leaders, can find ourselves at a complete loss as to how to live […]

“Put on the full armor of God…” Eph. 6:10-18 In our previous post we acknowledged that, while our challenges as men these days are numerous, and some of our skirmishes differ from those of others, for all of us the primary battle in our arena, is not against flesh and blood. Our true enemy in […]

Lessons From Kobe

By Craig Glass | February 2, 2020 | Blog, Fathers, Heroes, Redemption | 18 Comments

One week ago we were stunned by the news that NBA star Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in California. Since then we have seen an outpouring of grief and accolades on a scale rarely seen: Kobe’s death has been mourned by millions around the globe Superstars […]

Heroic Men; Genuine Masculinity

By Craig Glass | November 15, 2019 | Blog, Character, Heroes, Venus and Vegas | 6 Comments

A term we hear these days, which we never heard until just a few years ago, is Toxic Masculinity. I think I understand the intent of those who use it; and I agree with their intent. It’s used in reference to alcohol-fueled frat boys who force their will on alcohol-incapacitated women; to sports thugs caught […]

At Last!

“What was the highlight of 2016 for you?” our Christmas party host asked around the dinner table. Beryl and I had the same responses, “First, the birth of 5^th granddaughter, Gemma. Very close after that…the Cubs winning the World Series!!”

“Really?” some asked. “A sports event was a highlight?” Clearly, they were not aware of the cosmic significance of the event. At least not of its impact on the Glass clan. Why did this rank as a highlight of the year? Because it was of far more significance than just another sports event. For these three reasons:

A Village of Fathers

If you’ve read many of my posts in the past there’s a good chance you’ve seen me quote an African proverb I learned from a Kenyan pastor: “The boys in the village must be initiated into manhood, or they will burn down the village…just to feel the heat.” When I heard this statement it caused […]

Value Your Values

By Craig Glass | July 20, 2016 | Blog, Character, Courage, Culture, Heroes, Legacy | 0 Comments

“I violated my values and it was wrong. I behaved shamefully.”

Those are the words of Christopher Correa, the former scouting director of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, recently convicted of hacking into the player personnel system of another major league team. He has lost his dream job, faces 46 months in prison and has been ordered to pay a fine of nearly $280,000.

What he would do if he could only turn back time and make another choice when faced with temptation to further his reputation as a winner! Too late; the secret is out.

How sadly often it is that we read very similar stories in the news:

Head football coach Art Briles, a man of faith, whose decision to ignore, hide or discredit the stories of numerous women who reported sexual assaults by his football players, cost him his job and has cast a dark shadow over the outstanding reputation of Baylor University. He is not an exception; he is only the most public and recent of coaches to betray their own beliefs, and those who trusted him, for the sake of success.
