J.D. Greear says men today should live like Daniel: unshakably committed to God’s truth while genuinely loving the people around them. He says we can’t cave to compromise or get discipled by outrage, but instead should live lives of courage, integrity, and quiet influence. That kind of public strength, he says, only comes from a deep daily walk with Jesus and dependence on the Spirit.

Marty Solomon urges men to read the Bible through a Hebraic, context-first lens—seeking meaning and transformation rather than mere information—and to “trust the story” of God’s goodness from Genesis 1, practiced through Sabbath. He contrasts Western win-at-all-costs instincts with Jesus’ self-emptying way, and shares BEMA’s community-based study approach plus his own daily rhythms of Scripture, prayer, and rest.
