This Is the Following Christ In A Culture Of Confusion You're not looking for fluff. You're not here for religious clichés. You want something real.
This is a book for men who are serious about following Jesus; men who know the Christian life is not a casual stroll but a call to grit, brotherhood, and unwavering purpose.
Mark Oxer has spent decades in elite environments, coaching national champions, training police and military forces, serving in church leadership, and discipling men from diverse backgrounds. As a DMin student in Transformational Leadership, with a Master's degree in Church Leadership and another in Strength and Conditioning, Mark bridges the physical and spiritual realms with clarity and conviction. He knows what's at stake when men drift, and what's possible when they rise.
This Is the Way is a 9-chapter journey into the core of Christian manhood, identity, discipline, spiritual warfare, calling, and legacy. It's not a step-by-step program or quick fix. It's a field manual. A call to depth. A charge to keep going. Whether you're reorienting your life around Christ or digging deeper into the path you're already on, this book will challenge, ground, and push you toward the kind of manhood that truly matters.
