Day 5 of 37 Days of Christmas 2024 – A Glimpse of a New Man

Living in Boulder, CO gave me the opportunity to be connected to several expressions of Christ’s church. Several men’s groups that beat into me some strong godly ideas and teachings and beat off me some useless and dull edges… (iron sharpens iron)  One gathering was an early Friday prayer breakfast from whence a few of the guys went on to start Promise Keepers… years later, I was re-connected to Promise Keepers and wrote a few songs that were sung at some of those large gatherings. Here’s one that I want my present men’s-prayer-group to hear. I meet with a group of guys each Thursday from a diverse background of culture, race, denominations, political expressions – but all men of faith in the Lord Jesus.

I’m the oldest guy in the group and I hope the younger guys don’t laugh too loud at this song written in the ‘80’s. Before a few of them were probably even born.

So, men, I’m writing a new song based on our new vocabulary of “boy soul versus man soul”.  But the thoughts of this 1980’s song and the new 2020’s are similar – what you think, guys?

  1. Oh, I’m so very glad that Facebook connected me to this. I miss you and your music, Doug, and YES, I remember the roots of this song – and so much of your music – very well. I hope you’ll let me stay in touch and friend me. Your music is so instrumental to my spiritual journey. God bless you and yours! Carol Noble Grunden
