the five marks of a man devotional: 60 days to a powerful life

What you practice is what you’ll perfect. This is true in sports, in art, and in the primal pursuit of becoming a man.

You don’t become a man when you turn 18, buy your first home, or achieve financial independence. All men live by the five marks, and all boys avoid them.

Men have a vision.
Men take a minority position.
Men are team players.
Men work.
Men are protectors.

A companion to the bestselling book of the same name, The Five Marks of a Man Devotional isn’t a sit-and-get devotional. It’s a get-up-and-go guide to building the most transcendent, exhilarating, and impactful life possible. Created to get you working toward the goal, each reading contains Scripture, a short thought, a prayer, and two challenges designed to build muscle in living life by the marks.

Because it’s not what you think but what you do that gives your life power. It’s time to get moving.
