I've been a "nice guy" for as long as I can remember. Having been a pastor, teacher, husband, brother, son - among many other roles - I have had to navigate what it means to be a "good man" in various scenarios. I have had to overcome being angry and frustrated at leaders I did not respect, at others who I felt had abandoned me in my time of need, and at society for not giving me the tools to navigate these emotions. Through reading, talking, meeting with other men, and listening deeply to the women in my life, I have learned to harness masculine principles that put me in harmony, rather than discord, with the world. I am now putting into practice what it means to not just be nice but be kind, to be not just good but great, as a show up in each of my relationships.
