This Is What Pressure Is Doing to You

Men, 

There is pressure writing this.

Pressure to add value. 
Pressure of delivering an email to you that you want to share with other men. 
Pressure to write just enough that you will even read this. 
Pressure to write this and you not thinking it’s Ai. 

I believe men face all sorts of pressure. 

And, to be honest, pressure is good. I want some pressure. It helps me be better.

We’ve all heard the illustration, diamonds are formed under intense pressure.

And if you’ve ever paid for a diamond, you understand the cost.

Men are no different.

What changes us as men isn’t comfort.
It’s pressure.
It’s time.
It’s heat applied consistently.

Pressure exposes what’s really there.

When pressure hits your life, it reveals:
What you truly believe.
What habits are solid and which are fragile.
Whether your foundation can carry weight.

Pressure isn’t punishment. It’s a process.

Let me end with this. 

Becoming a man will require pressure. It will never end, but we can learn to handle the pressure. 

Here are three anchors for handling pressure as a Christian man:

  1. Be in God’s Word daily – truth stabilizes you

  2. Pray without ceasing – prayer keeps you aligned

  3. Stay in community – isolation weakens men; brotherhood strengthens them

Let me ask you this. What would you add to this list?
