Women say they want a men who can stand up to her, who can stand up for her, who can say no to her, a man who is authentic, who is congruent, who is secure in himself, a man who doesn’t compromise his own values, who asks for clarification, who doesn’t make assumptions, a man...

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt tells us that God did not mess up … we, as a society mess up. This generation of men is vastly different than previous generations. 100 years ago, men needed each other, worked together, talked together, interacted with one another … not now, not in these generations. This generation is compassionate, less judgmental,...

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Pastor Walt speaks directly to men and shares that men’s hearts are wounded. Young men haven’t learned to receive correction. The father is the one the son watches. The father is the one who teaches the son. But many fathers are missing in the family.

Pastor Walt continues Thinking Out Loud on the Woundedness of Men. Real men are supposed to be strong, courageous, competent, and masterful. Real men are not supposed to show emotions, just keep it all bottled up inside. Real men don't eat quiche. Most men don’t have any male friends, they don’t know how to be a friend to other men. Most men don’t know how to engage other men … they just talk...

In this episode, Pastor Walt shares that it's not a man's world anymore. Men seem to be less like men, and men have been emasculated for several decades.

Pastor Walt tells us that men are actually looking for clear direction. Men who are leaders...

On any Easter Sunday, I’m sure we will hear all kinds of sermons on the importance of the Resurrection. In fact, as some have said already, if there wasn’t a resurrection, there would be no Gospel. In this episode, I share some thoughts about the revolution Jesus started on Easter Morning. It is a revolution like no other, it was a revolution of God entering our world to pay for our sins on the...

Idolatry is rarely talked about today … especially when it concerns making good things into idols. I know this might seem odd to you, but God says, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Now, He didn’t define idols as good or bad, He just said nothing should come before Me. I think we understand what idols are when they are a bad influence, but when good things become idols, that’s more...

In this episode, Dr. Lenny and Larry Kutzler discuss where is your trust? As humans, we are prone to trusting in ourselves, and self-assurance is how we are encouraged throughout our lives. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)Lenny’s Corner with Dr. Lennard...

The Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade in June of 2022, and since then, some States have scrambled to reinstate abortion rights in their jurisdiction. Thank God for those States who said no to abortion. But, in the State of Minnesota, they not only approved abortion rights for Minnesotan’s, but also became a sanctuary abortion State for people living in those States who have banned the...

I am convinced that churches follow the pastor’s lead. So, if the pastor is silent on issues they should be speaking on, the church will be silent too. It is important we encourage pastors to be proactive in ministering the Word of God on issues facing us today. I speak with a pastor about issues he sees in the church that need to be addressed. Pastor Jason Erickson leads Risen Church in...
