My question is what do other men do to find and maintain balance? Dennis from in Nevada. Why do men have a problem stepping up and being the man God needs them to be? Joe from New York. How does a man make more of an impact on his children than this worldly, unbiblical culture? Luke I have been in the military for the past 13+ years and move around a lot. One thing I found hard is finding Godly men to connect with and lean on. So my question is how do you go about finding those men to confide in? Carl from Nebraska What advice would you give a single man who's never married about sex and understanding his sexuality? Robert from NY. What does spiritual leadership in the home look like? Danny from San Luis Obispo. Like a lot of guys i have struggled with porn in the past. It has taken me a while to learn that even though i'm no longer consuming it, it has had an effect on my sex life with my wife. My relationship with sex was the desire for instant gratification which I think porn had a very real influence over. I have done a lot of work in trying to re-wire my brain and check my intentions in all my interactions with my wife but I'm wondering if ya'll have any tips for that.
