Inspired by the example of Joshua, I'm eager to share with you how we can invite God into every aspect of our lives, not confining Him to specific spaces.

   001 God loves a man who knows HOW to fail

   Failure is a part of life but can be challenging to recover from. In this episode, we will discuss three men in the Bible who failed and how they either recovered or did not. Reframing how we look at failure is an essential step to growing in our journey of manhood; imagine seeing failure as a stepping stone to greatness; sound crazy? That's what happened to King David!
