  A Must-Read for Modern Men: Jason Wilson’s Powerful Contribution A heartfelt thank you to Jason Wilson for writing such a profound and timely book about manhood. While there’s no shortage of self-help books, guides, and support groups aimed at women, resources for men—especially those that speak to emotional healing and legacy—are far fewer.

Above all, God has the power to put you in the place He has destined for you. Jeremiah 32:17 says, “Ah LORD GOD! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.” 1.  Just as David was anointed as King in his home, as a priesthood of God- we shall occupy our rightful places ,positions in all sphere of life govt, church...
