Man Up God's Way- Jody Burkeen

Jody Burkeen

MAN UP! Gods Way, was founded in an effort to call “lukewarm” Christian men to stop being “spiritual sissies” and start living up to the challenge that God has laid out before us in His holy Word. Too many men in the church are living a disobedient life by being “lukewarm”. The consequences, for living this way, are extreme. Look at what Jesus says “So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth”. (Rev 3:16) Neither hot nor cold, is what many Christian men have become. In an effort to change the direction of Christian men, MAN UP! Gods Way is challenging the manhood of these men. MAN UP doesn’t believe that being a man means you can chew through steel or bend iron, but that being a man means we will be disciplined in our relationship with Christ, in our marriage, as a father, in our service at church, at work, in accountability to one another and in discipleship. It’s time, time to MAN UP! Mission Statement MAN UP! Gods Way is dedicated to changing the way Christian men live and act. We want to change Christian men from being complacent, lazy and disobedient to Gods word. With Jesus Christ as our example, we will strive to teach men to be more Christ-like every day.

    Man Up Monday Podcast Episode #115- Ed Uszynski and Brian Smith

    Seventy percent of kids quit sports before age 13. Despite youth sports being a $40 billion industry, the more parents spend, the less kids enjoy it. The “youth sports industrial complex” is failing to deliver on its promises, and Christian fathers in particular have a crucial role to play in changing that story.That’s why veteran sports ministers Brian Smith and Ed Usyznski wrote Away Game: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Navigating Youth Sports. With over 50 combined years in sports ministry, multiple theological degrees, and decades discipling athletes at every level, they are the most trusted voices speaking biblically into this issue today.Instead of treating youth sports as performance-driven pressure cookers, Away Game reframes them as opportunities for discipleship. Every practice, game, and car ride home becomes a chance to connect sports emotions, joy, disappointment, competition, teamwork, to spiritual formation.This book equips men and fathers to: Lead their homes with a biblical vision for sports. Leverage athletics as a training ground for humility, gratitude, and resilience. Turn the car ride home into discipleship instead of conflict. Resist toxic sports culture by modeling kingdom values. Brian and Ed are available for interviews on themes like: Why “sports builds character” is a myth, and how to redeem it. Mastering the car ride home as a father. Why Christian men must model “play over performance” in an achievement-driven culture. How to disciple kids through both winning and losing.
