Nowhere to Hide

Who are you when nobody else is watching? In the final episode of our first week in Proverbs, Chris Muiña wraps up a journey through wisdom, pursuit, trust, and guarding the heart with the theme every man needs to hear: integrity. Proverbs 5 warns against temptation and the consequences of compromise, then delivers a sobering reminder — God sees every path you take, both public and private. That truth should stir a healthy fear, but also real reassurance: God is watching because God is with yo...

Battle for the Heart

What controls your heart will eventually control your life. In day four of our journey through Proverbs, Chris Muiña unpacks a verse that the wisest man on earth prefaced with "above all else" — and when Solomon says above all else, it's time to pay attention. Everything flows from your heart: your thoughts, your attitude, your decisions, your actions. Many men focus on changing behavior while ignoring what's feeding that behavior, but God always starts at the source. The word "guard" is a mi...

Surrender is Strength

What's the hardest thing for a man to do? For most men, it's surrendering control. We want a plan, answers, certainty — we're wired that way. On day three of our journey through Proverbs, Chris Muiña dives into one of Scripture's most beloved verses: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." The strongest men aren't the ones who control everything; they're the ones who trust God with everything. Sometimes God asks us to trust Him before He explains Himself, and that's on purpose. When we...

Seek The Treasure

How hard do you work for a paycheck? Early mornings, late nights, overtime, sacrificed weekends — men pour real intensity into providing for their homes. But do you pursue God's wisdom with that same drive? In day two of our journey through Proverbs, Chris Muiña unpacks Solomon's challenge to seek wisdom like silver and search for it like hidden treasure. The men who grow the most spiritually aren't the most talented; they're the most intentional. Spiritual leadership at home doesn't start with...

Where Wisdom Begins

What is shaping you as a man? Culture, success, failure, the opinions of others — every man is being formed by something. In this episode, Chris Muiña kicks off a brand-new series through the book of Proverbs, beginning with the story behind the book itself: how a 20-year-old Solomon asked God not for riches or long life, but for wisdom, and became the wisest man to ever live. True wisdom doesn't start with experience or intelligence; it starts with the fear of the Lord. Pride says, "I've got...

Rest…In Peace

How easy is it for you to rest? Most men will lie down, but the mind keeps running, rehearsing tomorrow, replaying today. In this final episode of week two, Chris Alessi closes out the arenas of a man's life—the morning, the workplace, the home, the inner life—with something that might seem countercultural, even soft. It's not. Looking at Psalm 4:8, Chris unpacks what it means to be safe in God alone—not when your bank account hits a certain number, not when everything's going your way, not b...

Delight in Your Day

When was the last time you truly enjoyed something? You can be disciplined in the morning, at work, and at home—and still be running on empty inside. In this episode, Chris Alessi goes inward with something near and dear to his heart. What defines a man isn't what he has or what he's accomplished; it’s what he delights in. Most of us think, "If I had more blessings, then I could delight more." But Scripture flips it: God calls the man blessed who delights in the law of the Lord—His way. So deli...

Bring It Home

Where's the hardest place for you to man up? For most men, it's not the office—it's inside their own home, with their wife, their kids, the people who know the real them. In this episode, Chris Alessi brings the man-up challenge home.

Work as Worship

Does your faith clock out when you clock in? For a lot of men, Sunday is for God, and Monday through Saturday is just survival—you do your job, come home depleted, and work stops meaning anything beyond the paycheck. In this episode, Chris Alessi takes the Man-Up challenge into the place most men spend the majority of their time: work. Unpacking Colossians 3:23, Chris shows how Paul blows the divide between faith and work wide open: whatever you do, laying tile, running a sales meeting, driving...
