The MEN who saved me
I met my church family… It felt like home… but I hadn’t met my brothers yet. Not long after that, I got invited into a small men’s group. About twelve men in a room. No performance. No pretending. Just honesty. But those men, now they know my real story…
“As iron sharpens iron… so one man sharpens another.”— Proverbs 27:17
I walked into church… because I had nowhere else to turn.”
After my divorce… I remember being on the floor in my bedroom… praying for relief.
And in that moment… I knew I needed to find a church.

And I met my church family…
It felt like home… but I hadn’t met my brothers yet.

Not long after that… I got invited into a small men’s group.
About twelve men in a room.
No performance. No pretending.
Just honesty.
⸻
And I almost didn’t go.
But those men… they knew my real story… not the Sunday version.
⸻
They told me the truth when I needed it… and for the first time in a long time—
I wasn’t alone.
I wasn’t just attending church… I was being known.
⸻
That’s what brotherhood does.
It sharpens you.

Proverbs 27:17 says:
“As iron sharpens iron… so one man sharpens another.”
⸻
That’s not theory.
I lived it.
⸻
So let me ask you—
Who are your men?
If you don’t have an answer yet…
don’t ignore that question.
It might be time to find them.

Jesus is the vine… we are the branches.
Stay connected to Him… in this abiding life.
