As we enter the Advent season—a season of anticipation, aspiration, and awakening—we are reminded that God often does His greatest work in moments that seem the most mundane. 

The birth of Jesus in a lowly manger (Luke 2:7) teaches us that divine destiny can emerge from humble beginnings, much like many of our own stories. Advent calls us to lift our eyes with expectation, believing that what God has promised, He is fully able to perform (Romans 4:21). Brothers, this is a season to reclaim hope, to rekindle faith, and to remember that waiting is not wasting when God is the One who has spoken.

Christmas further reminds us that Christ comes close—close to our struggles, close to our stories, and close to our souls. Just as the shepherds received the announcement of “good tidings of great joy” (Luke 2:10), we too are invited to embrace the joy that Jesus brings, a joy that strengthens us as we navigate the challenges of work, family, identity, and purpose. 

This season calls us to walk with courage, conviction, and confidence, knowing that Emmanuel—God with us (Matthew 1:23)—is still walking beside men and women today. 

Expect God to move, expect grace to meet you, and expect the Savior to shape your steps as you enter a new season with renewed strength.

Merry Christmas brothers!

YITB,

Brother Clinton Lewis, Sr

A New Year: Rededicating Your Health in 2026 As 2026 begins, many people talk about “New Year’s resolutions.” For Black men, it’s time to think differently. 

This isn’t about a short-lived promise that fades by February. This is about a re-commitment to your health — intentional, disciplined, and rooted in purpose.

Each January 5th, the men of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. honor Founders’ Day, a moment of reflection and rededication to the principles of achievement, service, and leadership established in 1911. 

Rededication isn’t about starting over. It’s about reaffirming who you are, why you matter, and what standards you refuse to compromise. Your health deserves that same level of respect. Black men continue to face higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, and shorter life expectancy. 

These aren’t abstract statistics — they affect our fathers, brothers, sons, teammates, fraternity brothers, and friends. Prioritizing health is not weakness; it is leadership and it is responsibility. As Kappa men, we rededicate ourselves on Founders’ Day to the bond that unites us, but we must also recommit to the vessel that carries us — our bodies (and minds). 

Our families need us present and our legacy depends on your longevity. Brothers, my call to action: This year, don’t create a resolution. Rededicate to showing up for yourself with the same discipline, pride, and purpose you bring to everything else you lead and to this fraternal bond.

 2026 isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about honoring who you already are — and protecting the life you’re meant to live
