By Anthony Gantt
it Ends with Us" is a novel written by the New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover. This book tells the story of Lily, a hardworking...
One day while standing at a traffic light waiting for the crosswalk to change, an elderly woman walked up to me, grabbed hold of my arm, and asked, “Will you help me cross the street?”
I did not know this woman at all but something about me made her feel safe to request assistance.
His Name is Me explores what it takes to be a man who is seen as a pillar of the community. What it takes to set an example not only for those who know you but for strangers as well.
There are many pressures that society puts on men: show them who’s the boss, don’t cry, don’t show weakness. What if being a man has nothing to do with any of this?
Instead of showing them who’s the boss, real men recognize areas for mentorship. Instead of holding back tears, real men acknowledge their weak and vulnerable moments. Instead of enforcing strength, real men provide assistance to those weaker or less fortunate.
Real men take the example of Jesus, they serve others to stand tall.
