“Success God’s Way”

Joshua 1:8 says, “

8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall

meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” 


Real success starts with Scripture. The foundation of a faithful man is not found in fame, but in following the Father. Brothers, success is more than silver, status, or salaries—it is standing strong, staying steady,

and serving the Savior. The world measures success by what you’ve got, but God measures success by who you are becoming in Him.

Consider Joseph: sold into slavery, set up by lies, shut up in prison—yet he still stood on God’s promises. His setbacks became setups for his success (Genesis 50:20). 


Brothers, hear this: success is not the absence of struggle, but the presence of steadfast faith in the struggle. So today, strive for success that is spiritual, sustainable, and significant:

 Spiritual—Rooted in Christ, not culture.

 Sustainable—Built on integrity, not instability.

 Significant—Blessing others, not just boosting self.

Lift your head, Brothers! You are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). Your success is secured, not by what’s in your bank account, but by who’s in your heart. Walk tall, live holy, and keep your eyes on the Savior—because true success is found in Him.

October: Supporting Her Health is Supporting Ours!


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while the spotlight is often on women, it’s equally important for men—especially Black men—to play a role in supporting their loved ones. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the United States during their lifetime, and Black women face a higher risk of dying from the disease compared to other women. That’s why it’s crucial that we, as Black men, step up and encourage our

significant others to prioritize their breast cancer screening.


Screenings, such as mammograms, are key to catching breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable. Too often, fear, stigma, or simply being “too busy” can keep women from making that appointment. This is where we can make a difference. Asking, “Have you scheduled your mammogram this year?” can be a small, but powerful act of love.

Offering to go with them, help arrange childcare, or simply reminding them showssupport that can ease the burden.


As Black men, we pride ourselves on protecting and providing for our families. Part of that responsibility is helping ensure the health of our partners. Supporting her health means supporting the foundation of our families and our communities. Brothers, the call to action this October is to go beyond wearing pink. Let’s have the conversations, encourage the screenings, and stand alongside the women we love.

Because when she’s healthy, we’re all stronger!
