It is harder than it has ever been to be a man. There are so many forces and challenges that cause many men to struggle with everything from marriage and parenting to work and other relationships. What does it really take to be a great man? What can a man to in order to live the life he was really made to live?

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me. Philippians 2:12-18 NIV

We all want to live a life that matters but most people are going about it the wrong way. There is actually only one way to live your life that will guarantee you live the life you were made for.

It's hard enough to feel good enough, smart enough, or capable enough. How could we live worthy enough of the gospel? It seems impossible. But is it?

We all come to points in our lives where we feel stuck. We feel stuck in our careers, our relationships and even stuck in the daily drudgery of life. Paul gives us insight into how we can move forward in our lives no matter what we face and live an unstoppable life.

Life can be a grind. Work, family commitments, kids' activities, full schedules, health challenges and so many other things can make life feel stressful and overwhelming. While a lot of life can be draining, God wants us to enjoy the ride of life and there is a way to live it that will fulfill you in ways you never imagined.
