Are you finding yourself just coasting through life? If so, you're in more danger than you realize. Thing is, complacency never announces itself as danger. It just feels comfortable - until it's too late. Most men think the greatest threat to their spiritual lives is outright rebellion, but they're mistaken.
In this episode, Steve Alessi names the two things that quietly destroy a man. The first is obvious: knowing what's right and choosing your own way anyway. The second is far more subtle.
Listen today to find out how you can become a man who sleeps differently, leads differently, loves differently, and faces an uncertain future differently — because his confidence isn't in himself, but in the One who never changes.
Verse of The Day: Proverbs 1:32-33
Your Daily Man-Up Challenge
Ask one honest question: Where have I become complacent — my walk with God, my marriage, my health, my leadership, my parenting, my integrity? Choose one area where you've been coasting and start rowing again. Then make this commitment: I'm not just going to hear God's Word this week — I'm going to live it, and better yet, I'm going to be it.

NEW TO THE MEN’S MORNING DEVOTIONAL?
Welcome!
The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world.
Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader. You’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. And you’ll know you’re not standing alone, because men everywhere are waking up to fight the same battle.
Your hosts are Steve Alessi, pastor of Metro Life Church of Miami, FL, along with his sons and other leaders of our Goodfellas men's ministry.
Join us every weekday to man up!
