Let your kids do dangerous things… carefully. Let them climb. Let them ride. Let them fail. Let them fall and get back up again. That’s how courage is built. That’s how resilience is formed. That’s how fear loses its grip. I love letting my kids lead while I’m present… so one day they can lead without me. We don’t raise strong men and women by removing every challenge. We raise them by walking with them through the process. Confidence is built in the doing. 🔥 #TableMen #Fatherhood #RaiseLeaders #Courage #Resilience StrongFamilies IntentionalParenting WholeheartedMan

America needs rebuilding. And rebuilding starts one heart at a time… around a table. I’m thankful we are seeing people rededicate this nation to God again. But if we truly want to rebuild America, we have to rebuild the heart of the home, the heart of men, and the heart of community. Somewhere along the way we lost the simple art of being present with one another. We became isolated, distracted, busy, and fractured. The family table disappeared. Brotherhood disappeared. Real discipleship disappeared. We replaced presence with noise. Connection with consumption. Covenant with convenience. But I believe the table is where rebuilding begins. The table is built on four core pillars: • Your life with God • Your life with your wife • Your life with your kids • Your life with covenant relationships and brotherhood That’s where healing happens. That’s where people are seen, heard, known, and valued. That’s where identity is restored. That’s where courage is built. You have a place at the table. The early church understood this. In Acts of the Apostles 2:42, they devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. Life happened together. Transformation happened together. The table is more than furniture. It’s a foundation. A place of discipleship. A place of repentance. A place of restoration. A place where fathers return to sons and brothers sharpen brothers. If we want to rebuild America, we must rebuild the table. Heart to heart. House to house. Table to table. This is transferable anywhere in the world. But right now, it’s time to rebuild America. One wholehearted man, one family, and one table at a time.

America is being rededicated to God today… and I’m for that. But what I also know is this: America won’t truly be rebuilt until the hearts of men are rebuilt. And that rebuilding starts around a table. First… You take your seat at the table with God. You settle the question: “Am I truly a son of the King?” Second… You sit with your wife. Not distracted. Not absent. Present. Third… You sit with your children. You lead them. Listen to them. Bless them. Build them. And lastly… You sit with your brothers. In real community. With honesty. Vulnerability. Accountability. No masks. No pretending. That’s how men are restored. That’s how families are restored. That’s how cities and nations are rebuilt. But it takes hard work. It takes facing fear. Confronting insecurity. Healing wounds. Choosing courage when it would be easier to stay numb. We must do the hard work. And that’s why I’m building a Men’s Leadership Summit this fall in Texas. A gathering for men ready to rebuild what matters most. The table matters. The time is now. #TableMen #RebuildingAmerica #MensLeadership #ChristianMen #Fatherhood Brotherhood Leadership Faith WholeheartedMan MensMinistry Revival Texas TheTable KingdomMen

I’m teaching my horse how to drag weight. How to stay steady under pressure. How not to fear the pull behind him. And something special happened… My daughter was riding the log behind him watching the entire process. What a picture. Because our children are watching how we handle pressure. Watching how we carry responsibility. Watching if we run when things get heavy… or rise to the occasion. And the Lord spoke to me… This is what builds men. Most men run from pressure. Run from responsibility. Run when things get heavy. But strong men learn to embrace the weight. Because you were made for it. Made to lead. Made to carry responsibility. Made to walk through pressure without breaking. The weight isn’t crushing you… It’s training you. And the next generation is watching how we respond. Don’t fear the process. Don’t fear the tension. Lean into it. The man God called you to become is built under pressure. Weight builds warriors. Let’s go. #TableMen #WholeheartedMan #Fatherhood #Leadership #Brotherhood Faith MenWhoLead Strength

4 AM in the gym. Why? Because the Lord woke me up and said, “Get up and get moving.” Why? Because men are being raised up across this country to step back into their rightful place of leadership. At their family table. At the business table. At the community table. Not leading from pride or control, but from strength, humility, responsibility, and God-given authority. We need men who will sit with people, lead them, guide them, sharpen them, and walk with courage. I’m working on a new gathering for men who are already leading men. A place to sharpen each other, build together, and strengthen what God is doing across this nation. More details coming soon for the Tablemen gathering. DM me for more. Let’s go!!!!! Stronger together. “A table where fear comes to die and courage begins to live.” #tablemen #brotherhood #manhood #thetable #menofcourage

Today I wanna tell you a story about my mama. She’s one of the toughest women I know, and I’ve learned so much just by watching the way she lives. After our car accident, she had crushed bones in her face, a crushed right ankle, and a broken back… but she refused to quit. I watched her strap her leg into a stirrup with an air cast on and still ride her way into the top 15 in the world and qualify for the world finals multiple years in a row. I watched my mom overcome pain. Overcome difficulty. Fight through adversity. I always joke that she’s tougher than leather and meaner than a rattlesnake… but the truth is, she also has one of the softest hearts. She’ll take in strangers, help the broken, love the hurting, and do whatever she can to serve people around her. She taught me what resilience looks like. What grit looks like. What compassion looks like. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without her. Happy Mother’s Day, Mama. Thank you for showing me how to fight, how to love, and how to keep going no matter what. #tablemen #legacy #mom #manhood #thetable

Happy Mother’s Day to these incredible mothers that love well not only to there children but to those around them. Thank you for the prayers whispered late at night, the meals around the table, the rides to practice, the tears, the strength, the correction, the love, and the consistency. You are building legacy in ways this world may never fully measure. A godly mother carries the heart of nurture, courage, and sacrifice. So many of us are who we are because a mother chose to keep showing up. Today we honor the women who lead with grace, fight for their families, and create homes where love, healing, and faith can grow. Happy Mother’s Day to my wife, my mom, my sister, and all the incredible mothers raising the next generation. We see you. We honor you. 🌿❤️ #MothersDay #Family #Legacy #Tablemen #FaithAndFamily @mom_homeschooling_workfromhome @amberbutaud @ritafreels_hampton

Some of my favorite memories are calling turkeys in with nothing but my mouth. No face calls. No gadgets. Just learning the sound of the wild and becoming part of it. I used to have those birds walk right up to my boots. 🦃🌲 Now watching these boys do the same thing fires me up. There’s something powerful about kids learning the outdoors like this — patience, awareness, confidence, stillness, grit, and adventure. The woods have a way of shaping you if you’ll slow down long enough to listen. This is the kind of stuff that stays with you for life. Not just hunting… legacy. These turkey are the neighbors pets but we have done it in the wild all over. #TurkeyHunting #Outdoorsmen #Tablemen #Legacy #FatherSon RaiseThemWild HuntingLife Boyhood MenOfTheWild TurkeyCall AdventureCulture Brotherhood CountryLife

Big shoutout to @webbwestern I’ve been working with them on their new hats and clothing line and I genuinely love the quality, the fit, and what they stand for. One of the things that caught my attention most is they’re bold enough to put John 3:16 right on the hats. Faith, quality, and purpose all woven together. Comment “HAT” and I’ll send you my personal link to get 10% off your purchase.

There’s something powerful about the table. Not a stage. Not a platform. A table. This is where walls come down. Where stories are shared. Where wounds get seen. Where hearts soften. In Acts of the Apostles 2:46–47, it says they met daily… broke bread… ate together with glad and sincere hearts. And what happened? God moved. People were added. Lives were changed. Revival didn’t just happen in temples… It happened in homes. Around tables. This is where fathers are restored. This is where brothers are formed. This is where identity is rebuilt. We don’t need more performance… We need presence. And presence is found when we slow down… sit down… and make room at the table. Who’s at your table? #Tablemen #TheTable #Brotherhood #FaithInAction #Acts2

I got off my horse, looked him in the eye, and drew a line… “You can stay a boy… or you can grow up and become a man. You choose today.” There was a moment. A breaking point. A decision. And he chose to submit to the process. Not to be controlled… but to be transformed. Not to lose his strength… but to have it refined. Now he’s becoming a great horse. And in that moment, I heard the Lord say— “This is what you’re doing with men across this nation.” Calling them higher. Inviting them into the process. Challenging them to lay down pride, fear, and resistance… So they can step into who they were created to be. Men don’t need more comfort. They need a moment of decision. Boy… or man. You choose. #Tablemen #MenAreRising #Brotherhood #Leadership #FaithInAction NoMoreBoys BecomingMen

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at Tarrant County Cowboy Church this morning. There’s a message burning in my heart right now for men across this country: We don’t need more men performing for God… We need men living from the presence of God. Moses said, “If Your presence doesn’t go with us, don’t send us.” That’s the cry again today. God is inviting us back to the table— not to prove ourselves, not to strive, but to abide. Because when we abide: * Fruit begins to grow * Identity becomes clear * Strength comes from within, not from striving This nation doesn’t just need better strategies… It needs godly men rooted in presence, leading their families, businesses, and communities from a place of intimacy with the Father. Men who: * Sit at the table in the presence of their enemies * Walk with God instead of running ahead of Him * Lead from identity, not insecurity I’m watching it happen all across the country— men are rising. And it starts here: Presence over performance. Comment: table For full video #Tablemen #PresenceOverPerformance #MenOfGod #Leadership #Faith Brotherhood
