Description
What do you think of when you hear the phrase "The fear of the Lord"? Most men hear that phrase and picture a God who wants them shaking in their boots — so they either tune it out or quietly keep their distance. But that misread might be the exact thing standing between you and the wisdom you keep asking for.
This week's host Daniel Burgos continues our study in Proverbs by focusing on the foundation of a wise life — what it actually means to respect God, and why seeing Him clearly is the thing that finally gets a man to stop trusting his own answers and start listening.
Proverbs 9 calls the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom, which means every man trying to figure life out on his own instinct is starting from the wrong place and wondering why he keeps getting it wrong.
If you've had those moments where you were sure you knew best and found out later you didn't, you'll want to hear this.
Verse of the Day: Proverbs 9:10

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 son, Chris Alessi, and his sons-in-law Christopher Muina, Christian Calatayud, and Dani Burgos.
