Memorable Quotes:
“Midlife in men is much more than just a crisis.”
“Some men do make it into a crisis because they may be hurting and as they say… looking for love in all the wrong places.”
“I believe God greatly uses midlife in the lives of Christian men to bring them back into alignment with Himself - and to further propel them forward into their purpose.”
“I prefer to call it a midlife wake-up call. Or, as Bob Bufford called it: Half-time.”
“During a football game, we underestimate the importance of halftime. You see, depending on how the game is going, what is said, done, and focused on during halftime will determine the ultimate outcome of the game for any given team.”
“Halftime in life is crucial for men. It can make or break your life depending on the decisions you make.”
“In 2017, the highest suicide rate (20.2) was among adults between 45 and 54 years of age.”
“The devil likes to use this vulnerable time to encourage men to off themselves or to have an affair. He seeks to steal, kill, and destroy.”
