Summary

To celebrate the release of his newest book, The Five Marks of a Man Devotional: 60 Days to a Powerful Life, Brian is sharing the first five entries on the podcast. Designed with men of all ages in mind, the 60-day devotional is a masterclass in developing courageous manhood by putting it into practice, day-after-day-after-day.

Today, Brian looks at Mark 3: Men Are Team Players… and that means, you better have a shovel ready.

If you’re getting something from these podcasts, consider getting your own copy of the book over on Amazon, or wherever you purchase books.
