Description
Every man knows what to do when his body hurts. But where do you go when the pain isn't physical?
When we're sick, we take medicine. When we're injured, we treat it. But when we're discouraged, empty, angry, or carrying disappointment we haven't told anyone about, too often our answer is to push it down, stay busy, and keep moving. This episode is a reminder that just because you can keep moving doesn't mean you're healthy inside, and that real strength knows where to run when the soul needs healing.
A strong man knows where to go when his soul needs healing. God's Word doesn't just give information: it brings life. The same Jesus who spoke grace over the woven caught in condemnation, calmed the storm with "Peace, be still," and called life out of the grave is still speaking today. Being strong doesn't mean pretending everything is okay. Sometimes strength looks like admitting, "I need God," and running to His Word instead of away from it.
Verse of the Day: Proverbs 4:20–22

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 son, Chris Alessi, and his sons-in-law Christopher Muina, Christian Calatayud, and Dani Burgos.
Join us every weekday to man up!
