A Man's Greatest Superpower


A Man’s Greatest Superpower

Beautiful people—what’s good?!
Hope you’re doing well and living full.

If you’re connected to a man in any way—husband, father, son, brother, or friend—please share this with them.
EVERY MAN needs to be reminded of his superpower.

Grateful for each of you. Let’s keep building together!

A man is made for sacrifice.
We give up ourselves for the good of others.
We die to ourselves so others can live.
And when this happens in the hearts of men—people are better loved.

Consider the language of Ephesians 5:25–26. Paul uses the sacred picture of marriage to explain a greater mystery: the gospel, shown through the relationship between Christ and the Church. In his charge to husbands, Paul writes:

“...and gave himself for her…”

That phrase—“gave himself”—literally means to hand over, to entrust, to commit his life.
While Paul speaks to husbands, the root of this love is sacrifice.

Biblical wisdom teaches us: the same way Jesus handed over His life on the cross, husbands are called to love their wives.
Now imagine the domino effect of that sacrificial love:

  • A wife flourishes under the consistent love of her husband.
  • Kids grow up loved by a mother who’s strengthened by that love.
  • Those same kids now carry a clear, embodied picture of sacrifice into their world.
  • That family engages culture with love at its core—all because one man chose to sacrifice.

Christ’s sacrificial love saved humanity for eternity.
And a man’s sacrificial love can shape legacies—for generations.

That’s why sacrifice is at the center of the 3 M’s of Masculinity:

MAN – We sacrifice personal pleasure to become strong, healthy men.
MISSION – We give up comfort to live for something bigger than ourselves.
MARRIAGE – We lay down individualism so we can walk in oneness and community.

Yes—we give.
We hand over.
We entrust.
We commit.

We sacrifice our lives…
…so others can live their best lives.

It’s our call.
It’s our superpower.
It’s the “S” on our chest.

from affirmation to humility What If Your Life is Shaping Someone Else's? Much Given. Much Required. Affirmation is powerful. It’s one thing to recognize God at work in your own life—it’s another to hear that others see it too. When someone publicly affirms something true in you, especially someone from the next generation, it’s both a gift and a gut check. That’s where I am right now. I’ve been deeply humbled by the affirmation I’ve received from a generation coming behind me—young men aged...

Radical Generosity What jesus followers are made for Live Generous One of the most fundamental attributes of a follower of Jesus is a heart of generosity. To be generous means to go beyond what’s required—to give freely, joyfully, and sacrificially. This kind of generosity is only possible when we embrace the generosity God has shown us. From the very beginning, God gave Himself away. In creation, the Father formed the world and gave life to humanity. Throughout the Old Testament, He remained...
