Made 4 More

Father's Day June 21, 2009 was an eventful spiritual event for me when Armstrong United Methodist Church handed out Patrick Morley and David Delk's "Dad in the Mirror" book to all the Fathers. I used that book in my daily devotional and spiritual journaling that I had started October 2016.  The message from the penetrated my heart then.... and Now - Am I Fathering for performance or Fathering to the Heart?  Behavior flows out of Belief and the goal of a Father is to disciple the heart of his child to Love God and Others. That book also started my devoted support and gifts to Man in the Mirror Ministry. 

This afternoon at lunch I reiterated that Father's Day memory and pivitol moment in my spiritual development as a Son, Man, Husband, and Father.  At lunch was  TD. D. .and his son J.D2. of Made4More (M4M) Ministry. and Pastor Brown whoinitiated this introduction and meeting.  How appropriate that Pastor Brown brought two copies of the June 22, 2026 Father's Day gift to them.  I pray that the Men who took home their copy of  Patrick Morley's new book  "What if Christianity is True?" will do the same with it as I did 17 years ago. 

The only Armstrong Supercharge event I had missed (due to a family death - M.S.) was last March 7. 2026 where Made 4 More presented their excellent material (7 Videos and Group Discussions) to 50 or more Men encouraging them to join a small group and helping them in transformation as Men, Husbands, and Fathers. Man Fully Alive was permission to "Go First" in sharing your story (like the videos) and allowing others into your real life and challenges as a Man.

Our Wednesday Bible Study took the next 7 weeks to dive deep into these discussions and found them transformative. Armstrong UMC supplimented the Made 4 More video material with practical spiritual disciplines as follow-up.   I committed to the "Pain Journal" disciple - now on week 4 of a 52 week exercise in healing.  

God puts people together for a purpose and this meeting will surely produce fruit.  TD. D. offered me the M4M band and asked for prayer for this minstry -  NO PAIN there - I will were it proudly withthe TETELESTAI  33AD band that stays on my right arm!
