The Power of Confession

Our society has taught us that success is about what you possess not who you are. In other words, it's more about what I do than who I am. Confessions of a Good Christian Guy is about focusing on the most important aspects of masculinity, who you are. You and I may be successful, busy, and have lots of toys but if we aren't centered in a real relationship with Christ, built on strong values and character, our house of cards will soon fall.

As you strive toward that goal, I want to encourage you to resurrect the biblical practice of confession. James 5:16 says, "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed." There is power in seeking out another man in your life you respect and confessing your sins and praying. You can't do this in isolation, it must be in community. When you're able to practice this principle, something happens you couldn't have done on your own - healing. So don't waste any time. Find a man you respect, open your heart, and confess your sins. Glad you're on the journey!

Thanks for being vulnerable with us. People need to see that they're not alone in life. They gain courage as they read about others who struggle in the same way they do.
