Out of the Cage: Being a Gracious Calvinist
“We hold this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). Locked
All content revolves around our mission: help men joyfully glorify Jesus Christ as king and fulfill their role as leaders in taking dominion in God’s world, every day, in every realm of life. We post articles, audio, videos, book reviews, interviews, and more containing gospel truth, sound theology, practical wisdom, creative inspiration, Godly conviction and encouragement all to fulfill this mission as men. Our posts are created by men of God, for men of God, from a reformed, evangelical, “hard complementarian” (a.k.a. biblical patriarchal) view point. In other words, we’re not embarrassed by God’s word, and we aim to do our duty as leaders in applying it to every aspect of life in God’s world.
Articles with audio, videos, and more, by men, for men.
We’ll send a carrier pigeon to your inbox with a summary of the week’s content.

An open letter to Tullian Tchividjian from a younger brother and follower.
Are you maturing in the Holy Spirit? You may think you’ve heard “fruit of the spirit” talk before, but I’ve found not many have heard it this way. Take it from a recovering conman: I was once a poser and I still know how to fake it; so here’s how to sniff it out.
Some messages are #SuperSermons because of their timeless value, then some because of their absolutely “dialed-in” timely message. This is one of the latter. If you’ve seen clips of this message recently, watch the whole message for both an education on preaching, and a challenge on convictions.
Because our great, Triune God is infinitely happy and sovereign, sin is treason that must be punished. Here is why…
One of the greatest needs, and struggles, for men is purity, and not just sexually, but more so our ability to keep our heart and mind pure. This affects how we act, what we say, and everything else about us. So let’s talk about how we keep pure, together…
Let’s look at the fruit of kindness and it’s importance in our daily lives. Why do we need it and what might it look like? This one “fruit of the spirit” can do a lot to set us apart as men of God in a rough world.
This short video stirs both sobering questions and a bit of sorrow. We must ask ourselves some important questions about whether we’re photoshopping a false ideal in our hearts and minds that will feed a hurtful cycle, rather than guarding ourselves, our brothers, and our sisters.
Christianity can undoubtedly be called the only “one true religion.” So what makes it different from every other religion on the planet? Here are just a few simple ways to know and communicate to others.
You are “dirty”, “unclean”, “guilty” and “wretched” – or so you think. But why do you think this? Is this right? Is this helpful? Should we really spend so much of our time and emotions thinking of ourselves as these “wretched sinners”?
Our God is King and Lord. He is in control and sovereign over all things, even the salvation and suffering of His saints. This is a difficult truth for some, yet it is a foundational truth for fully understanding and appreciating the gospel story.
It’s time for a #MusicMonday again! Here’s a song (and album) to put on repeat till you wear it out, by NEEDTOBREATHE, as well as some new worship and creative jams by Zac Hicks and Kings Kaleidoscope that you’ll really dig!
Men are taught and modeled many wrong things about being manly. From a woman’s perspective, here’s what having a manly heart should be all about – complete with an epic story of a truly manly man.
Is God grumpy? Many believe so – but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. The foundation of the Gospel is God’s Trinitarian happiness. The gospel is good news because God is infinitely happy in Himself as Father, Son, and Spirit.
An amazing and super challenging message from a tell-it-like-it-is man of God, Paul Washer. This is emotional and convicting, and will leave you saying, “Why do I not think and live in such a way!?” just like a #SuperSermon should!
“Let’s place a giant picture of Jesus’ face on the stage.” Well, what does Jesus look like? I’m afraid I know what the answer is, and it’s pretty ugly…
We all hear, “Patience is a virtue!” but what is patience? It’s easy to say we have it, but do we? Is it actually Godly? How does patience look? Does it help anything?
Ryan shows us an excellent example of a way to “remix” the Psalms and apply them to your own life – complete with excellent advice! Of course we can’t change the meaning of God’s word, but we can practice finding and understanding it!
In case you’ve missed it the last two months, Josh Garrels’ new album is pretty awesome! Here’s a current favorite off his new album, Home, along with a few thoughts on the new record and a full album listen.
This was a practice round for “Hold Fast Chats” and we hosted a question round on marriage and top reasons for getting married, as well as how to stay happily married. Watch the show, hear our plans for upcoming shows. Also, join us on the next one!
We exist because of volunteers and generosity.
