Christmas begins with this
Christmas begins with this 450 300 brianboyd

Recently, the great American football announcer and CMN friend James Brown, who is known as “JB,” told me something that surprised me about his friendship with NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White.

Reggie was known as “The Minister of Defense,” for his outstanding play and Christian witness. When Reggie left for heaven, Reggie’s wife Sarah gave JB one of Reggie’s prize classic cars. What this reminds me of, is the intimate relationship that names signify.

We read in Matthew the first chapter that an angel told Joseph to name his son “Jesus,” which means “Deliverer.” Matthew then recalls Isaiah prophesying that Jesus would be known as “Immanuel,” which means, “God is with us.”

“The Minister of Defense” and JB knew each other by something more personal than their given names. We have that same privilege. We know Jesus in a functional role is our “Deliverer.” But in a personal way, we are privileged to know him intimately as a friend who is, “God is with us.”

How very close and personal that is. What a spectacular promise for us today. God is with us.

Every day, in every situation we face, in every stress of life, against every obstacle and onslaught of a broken world, He is with us!

He is the God who says to you today:

“I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support.  I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless, nor forsake nor let you down (relax My hold on you)! Assuredly not!” (Hebrews 13:5 Amplified Bible).

God is with us! Forgiveness is alive, freedom is at hand, hope is fulfilled, peace reigns in our hearts. We are blessed by God’s delivering power, free from the grip of sin. Our lives are filled with joy. Our hearts overflow with thanksgiving for God’s generous gift, our Saviour and Lord, the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.

May the Lord cover your life this season with His presence. May you experience His delivering power and personally know Him as “Immanuel,” GOD IS WITH US!

His name is “Deliverer” … and he’s your friend – the God who is with you.

In His grace, peace, and love,
Merry Christmas,
Your brother, friend, and ally,

Monday Night Men was on fire in 2021
Monday Night Men was on fire in 2021 900 500 brianboyd

Monday nights were on fire throughout 2021 with three seasons of Monday Night Men being released. Even in the midst of the storms that rocked Texas, and significantly damaged our studios in February, your faithful support kept us streaming and reaching men.

The year kicked off as together we helped men understand the Power of Potential. From there we moved through Just a Bartender and unlocked the door to true identity. The final season was stout and challenging as we focused on what it means to be a Real Man.

Here are just a couple of testimonies that show how Monday Night Men is making an impact.

Monday Night Men is about strengthening our foundation in God’s word and developing courage for the journey – building a life filled with purpose and destiny. Together we can defeat fatherlessness, end child abuse, and raise up strong men who love God and love people.

And if you missed an episode you can access them all right here – WATCH NOW.

Would you pray about giving to help produce more Monday Night Men episodes in 2022?

We launch again on Monday night January 23 with the book, Courage! (Get more info by going HERE)

Working together as brothers – we are making a difference.

Season of Hope
Season of Hope 150 150

A recent survey concluded that most of the world is dealing with high levels of anxiety and stress. I don’t think you and I needed a survey to tell us that – we see it around us every day.

That’s why the work of the Church and the Body of Christ is to bring HOPE!

When Jesus ministered from village to village the Bible tells us that He preached, “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!” He was telling them in the language of the day – HOPE HAS ARRIVED!

Pastor Michael Phillips stirred our hearts at the Lions Roar Global Summit a few weeks ago. I wanted you to see it again – or for the first time. It’s a powerful, inspiring message.

In fact – you should forward this email to someone who needs to hear this word. A friend dealing with anxiety, a neighbor going through issues, a loved one with an illness – this will help.

Never discount the effect that your giving has on men and families around the world. Messages like this were made possible by the generosity of friends like you. Thank you.

Remember; Hope is alive. Hope has a name. Hope’s name is Jesus!

The Biblical solution to the fear pandemic
The Biblical solution to the fear pandemic 150 150
The Bible has the solution to every pandemic. We’re going to talk about solutions on December 7th. It’s really important that you join me.

Register FREE here.

The only way to combat the pandemic of fear is by going back to the basics, the Bible. 

The “fears and unbelief variant” pandemic is happening in the culture and in the church.

“Fear and unbelief variant” symptoms are:

a loss of discernment
the acceptance of negative outcomes
compromise without concern (flagrant, unrepentant arrogance)
easily blending of the world’s philosophies with the Word.

Learn the solutions you can offer to your family and friends on December 7th.

Simply register here NOW.

Better yet, forward this email to 6 friends who are concerned about the state of our culture and our world today, and let them sign up for themselves.

Again, it’s FREE.

Remember that the early church grew because they committed themselves to the Word of God and the gathering of believers. The early church was a mess in many ways – but they were highly effective.

Filled with a motley assortment of Greeks, Jews, and Romans – free men and slaves, wealthy and poor, religious and deviant … yet they became a unified force because of the life of Jesus and the partaking of the Word.

The “fear and unbelief variant” is actually rooted in Biblical illiteracy. People who don’t know the word of God become victims of shifting morality, smothering negativity, and the terror of fear.

Join me in making 2022 “The Year of the Word.”

Start with the December 7 webinar with noted Biblical adventurist and longtime CMN friend, Scott Lindsey. Register HERE.

Scott has led millions of key men around the world into a new understanding, appreciation, and insight into the Bible and the life it brings to us.

Reach Men in Dangerous Nations TODAY!
Reach Men in Dangerous Nations TODAY! 150 150

It’s Giving Tuesday and we have a deadline to reach men in one of the most dangerous parts of the Philippines. We have to move right now.

We have two broadcasts and two book translations set to launch in January. One translation is done, the other needs to be finished, and both broadcasts still need to be funded. 

The translation is $2,500. One broadcast is partially funded but needs $6800. The second broadcast needs $7,500 to complete. If all of us do our part – we’ll nail this.

The language we’re doing is for the most dangerous place in the Philippines. Over 6,000 people have died in jihadist battles. Hundreds of churches have been desecrated or destroyed. But, godly men have risen up.

Our friends need our help. We’re moving ahead.

Please pray about helping us reach our deadline by Dec 10.

Give today.

Pray / Love / Give.

We’ll help pastors and leaders build strong men, strong families, and strong churches in places where they face increasing persecution, prison, beatings, and for some, death.

These are places you and I would never be able to set foot in – but because of our local partners on the ground and your generosity – we will be there to minister in the power of the name of Jesus, in their own language. 

The Dangerous Nations outreach will train pastors in the tools of men’s discipleship, to give away the message of Christlike manhood through thousands of FREE books, to reach tens of thousands of men.

The online CMN broadcasts in Vietnamese and Farsi received record numbers of viewers with results resonating across hundreds of churches and men’s groups in those dangerous and persecuted nations.
