“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 […]

In our journey in the theme of In the Arena, we’ve completed our study of I Cor. 16:13, 14 and now turn our attention to a new topic, an extremely relevant passage for us: Eph. 6:10-18. “Put on the full armor of God…” We all have challenges on numerous levels these days, but ultimately, the […]

In the past few posts, we have focused our attention on I Cor. 16:13. To recap what we’ve uncovered for men in the arena, facing challenges that surround us: Be on your guard— be vigilant; above all else guard your heart Stand firm in the faith— be resolute; place your trust in the name of […]

The Banner That Unites Us. Lesson 2—From Highway D to Hope

By Craig Glass | October 10, 2020 | Blog, Character, Culture, Hope, Lifestyle, Redemption, Self-sacrifice | 4 Comments

Having grown up in northern Illinois, I have a permanent memory of certain highway route numbers and the roads they pertain to: Rt. 68, Dundee Road; Rt. 83, Elmhurst Road; Rt. 21 Milwaukee Road; Rt. 45, River Road, and so on. Wisconsin apparently has a different system, which is based largely on letters rather than […]

Saying Goodbye to Parents, Part VI (Oh, Craig. Don’t Do That.)

By Craig Glass | August 8, 2014 | Blog, Fathers, Legacy, Self-sacrifice | 16 Comments

My mother passed away in February, 2010, and my father in October, 2012, so you might think I’m done thinking about saying Goodbye to them. No, their memory and their touch on my life lingers. I’m reminded of them regularly. They were an integral part of my life for 57 years; it’s not surprising that […]

Would I have acted as Joseph did? We’re so familiar with the Christmas story that it’s easy to overlook an essential part of that miracle- Joseph’s amazing response to confusing and embarrassing circumstances. To summarize, the key parts of the story as told in Matt.1: After his fiancée Mary becomes pregnant, Joseph’s first reaction is […]

I know a lot of men who get wrapped up in performance—work, sports, even community service or church attendance; competitiveness in any arena. This hard work can reveal an admirable sense of drive, responsibility and commitment. It can also reveal an underlying belief that our performance defines our significance. Or earns us points. For some […]

Passion!

By Craig Glass | August 16, 2012 | Blog, Character, Compassion, Courage, Heroes, Self-sacrifice | 0 Comments

When some of us men hear the word Passion, we think of sex, or some vaguely feminine emotion, or…sex. I think visceral, gut-level, profoundly stirring. The word brings to mind a challenge we are so committed to we will attempt it all costs; win or lose, we will put our best effort out there. It’s […]

It Takes a Hero

By Craig Glass | July 20, 2012 | Blog, Character, Courage, Culture, Heroes, Self-sacrifice | 1 Comment

Shortly after the recent fires in Colorado Springs I met with a group of about 150 men who had the honor of hearing from 3 firefighters who told us of the ground level impact of fighting what experts called “a firestorm of epic proportions.” I was profoundly impressed by the selfless attitude these men and […]
