Marked and Moving: A Powerful Start to 2026

Brother in Christ,,

The first quarter of 2026 launched with strength and purpose across Florida. From Monticello in the Panhandle to Bradenton on the West Coast to Stuart on the East Coast, Building Stronger Men for Jesus. Below is a look at what’s already happened—and some of what's planned for the second quarter.

TESTIMONIALS

I saw men come in strangers and Jesus opened them up to share their heart and

grow through their pain.


Marked Men For Christ is a deep dive into the soul of a man like a laser surgery where you go straight to the problem, release it and fill the wound with the love of Christ. 


I’m excited and fired up to continue on God’s path for me and my family as I’m more

aligned. 


Marked Men For Christ is a great brotherhood to help you grow with God and live for him by getting past hardships out of the dark.

Consider hosting occasional get‑togethers outside the regular Phase 3 meetings to help families connect and share a meal. Venice Phase 3 did this last quarter, supporting a local burger restaurant, and it was a great way to build community.

Challenge:

Are you engaging in a Phase 3? If not, find one under the Florida Events tab below.

Hebrews 10:24-25: Encourages meeting together to motivate one another toward love and good deeds.



Have you staffed a Phase 1 or a Phase 2 lately? This is just as much for you as it is for the brothers we serve.

1 Peter 4:10 - Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms, to bring glory to God.


Reflection and action: 

Gentlemen, find the song “Rattle!” by Elevation Worship on your preferred digital platform. LISTEN to the words

“Rattle!” reminds us that God specializes in bringing life to places we’ve already labeled dead. Ezekiel watched dry bones come together—not because they tried harder, but because God spoke and life obeyed.

This week, ask the Lord:

Where have I stopped expecting life?

A relationship, a calling, a habit you can’t break, a place in your heart that feels dried out—nothing is too far gone for the God who raises the dead.

Write that place down and pray boldly:

“Lord, speak life here. Breathe on these bones.”

Then take one small step of faith that reflects your expectation—reach out, repent, reconnect, restart, or simply ask again.

Resurrection begins when we trust His voice more than what we see.

Brothers, the bones are rattling. God is not done.
