Embracing the agency of your life…
Too many men live as if their choices and actions don’t matter.
So they drift through life, passively shaped by the forces around them.
In their hearts, they know they should become more proactive.
But they feel like they need permission, so nothing changes.
It’s at this point every man must remember:
God did not create you to be a spectator.
He designed you to take responsibility, lead with courage, and shape the world around you.
From the very beginning, God gave man a mission:
“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion…” (Gen. 1:28).
This Dominion Mandate was not just for Adam—it’s for all men.
You’ve been given agency—the power to make choices that impact your life and the world around you.
Your agency—which includes your decisions, words, and actions—matters.
And it can have a lasting effect on those around you.
Here are some biblical directives to back you up:
– You are responsible for your decisions. (Deut. 30:19)
– God commands courage, not passivity. (Josh. 1:9)
– Faith requires action. (James 2:17)
So here’s your challenge:
Identify one area of your life where you’ve been passive…
It might have to do with your relationship with God, your family, your work—or some other domain of life…
Take one decisive step to alter your trajectory and make a positive change.
You don’t need permission.
You already have it from God.
Your life has the power to make a difference–no matter who you are.
Step forward in faith, and watch how God uses your agency for good.
