Men's Morning Devotional
Men who stand strong prepare before the battle begins - so take a few minutes every morning to get into the Word before you face the world. Every weekday, the Men's Morning Devotional challenges and encourages men with Biblical lessons that speak to the pressures they carry as husbands, fathers, and leaders. Hosted by Steve Alessi, a pastor with over 40 years of ministry experience, along with his four sons and sons-in-law, you’ll get truth you can take straight into your day. We’re here every weekday morning so make sure you follow and subscribe. Don’t let a single morning go by without putting on your armor. This is a perfectly timed, short Bible study for Christian men, so you can spend some quiet time with God and prepare for the challenges life brings you every day. Let’s get into God’s Word. It’s time to man up.
