There are a lot of broken men in this world. Many have been neglected, abandoned, ill advised,etc. What does the broken man do when he needs help? Unfortunately a lot of men turn to alcohol, drugs, sex as a means to soothe their problems as opposed to dealing with them in fact, they wallow in these desensitizers. It is not socially acceptable for men to declare “I need help!” Many see the man who admits his problems as weak. There are even those who encourage men to be open and honest but when he doe they treat him a different way. If you add the negative perception that most men have especially men of color it is a very difficult world for him to live in. Man is like a puzzle inside of the box, if you put the puzzle together everyone including the puzzle is happy. A physically, spiritually, and mentally man is beneficial to everyone that surrounds him. There are those who because of being hurt by men in their past engage in male bashing, there are also those who have been taught to overrun the men who they are in relationships with. These type of people are not healthy for a man aspiring to the king that he needs to be. How can you help the men in your life connect to their inner kings? First you must speak honor into his life starting from a young age. Let the young men that you are raising or around know just what an important part they play in your life and society as a whole. Let the older men in your life know what they mean to you and what joy you receive from feeling confident in their leadership. Secondly do not engage in male bashing especially with the men in your immediate circle. If the man/men in your life is not reigning try to assist him to do so. For example, if he is out of work encourage and assist him in not only looking for work but how he can sustain himself with the work of his hands. Thirdly, help him do what kings do! Kings are known for conquering help him conquer some of his goals. Is there a dragon that is threatening his kingdom? Put on the royal armor and grab a sword and help him vanquish it! Kings expand their territory. What acquisition is your man eyeing? How can you assist him in doing so? Finally encourage him to share his feelings and listen to him without judgement. If he let’s you into his heart and shares some of his weaknesses help him to strengthen himself don’t use it against him especially in an argument it will only cause him to not trust you with his heart in the future. Let’s support the men in building themselves up so that they can reign!
