“When a man embraces the Death-Life, he no longer cares for the vox populi. He cares not for its ridicule or scorn or mockery, for its praise or flattery. He doesn’t care if his business is featured in the local paper, if he is despised by peers or honored by strangers. He steps out of the social media race, not worrying if his blog trends or if his Facebook page has enough “Likes.” He is unmoved.”
― John Sowers, Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart

“Some men numb out, overeat, oversleep, avoid. We live in a hazy, alcoholic fog—wasting away on cheap beer, while the world goes madly on. No one can carry our weight for us. It is ours alone to carry. Our legacy is made or marred by how we carry it. Millions quit. Others stand firm under the weight. And when we do, we find our strength. I think being a man is making the stubborn, daily choice to carry our own weight, even when all hell breaks loose around us.”
― John Sowers, Heroic Path: In Search of the Masculine Heart

“Men, let me plead with you: The greatest fight of your life is not lust. You may think it is, but it isn’t. The greatest fight of your life will be rejecting the passivity that has infected your heart since the fall. Your natural default, especially as it pertains to sacrificial leadership of your wife, will be to mutely witness.”
― Matt Chandler, The Mingling of Souls: God's Design for Love, Marriage, Sex, and Redemption

“When God has put something in you and you know it’s from the Spirit and it’s bursting to get out, but . . . nothing . . . happens. It’s torture. Waterboarding on the soul.”
― John Mark Comer, Loveology: God. Love. Marriage. Sex. And the Never-Ending Story of Male and Female.
