Is There a Struggle?

One of the things that I believe men struggle with the most is sharing their struggle.

Maybe it's because we don't have a friend close enough to be vulnerable with.

Or we don't allow ourselves to be present in an environment that fosters conversation like that.

Or maybe we are too prideful to allow others to see the real us, and so we keep it hidden.

Whatever the reason, understand that there is healing in confession, and encouragement in sharing what is difficult for you to bear.

For me, at the moment, I feel the burden of what I've said "yes" to, creeping up on me. I am about to start seminary, coaching two baseball teams, joining a residency program at our church, running my coaching business, hosting a college life group at our home, all while trying to be a great husband and father.

I can sit in that fear.

Or I can move forward in trusting that whatever God has led me to do, He will lead me through it, as well. Regardless of the outcome, I will have either succeeded, gained wisdom, or there's another outcome I'm unaware of all together.

What are you struggling with, dude?

How can we come alongside you and encourage you?
