Warrior, I see you. You fought the good fight, and now it's time to go home.

-

Reader. Thank you for stopping by. Your time is valuable, and I promise to do my best to leave you uplifted.

So who is the warrior? He's probably younger, a family man, a businessman, he knows and loves Jesus, he's trying to figure it all out.

Id call myself a warrior. My name is Dennis, I'm 27. I'm married (5 years) to Loren, she's a dream come true, and I am Navy's dad. She's 2 and she is to die for.

I studied finance and played football at Pitt, then worked in investment banking for a couple of years.

Now, I head up operation of our families transportation business and its a daily grind.

This blog is dedicated to encouraging and acknowledging warriors, lovers, and those caught in between.

Isaiah 42:13 says, "The LORD will go forth like a warrior, He will stir up His zeal like a man of war; He will shout out, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail [mightily] against His enemies."

At a certain point in a man's life, he begins to push against the grain and fight. 

For his marriage, for his family, for his friends, for what he believes. 

That's when he becomes a warrior. God is a warrior.

And the Bible says we are made in His image ....

The lover, on the other hand, is awakened when a man realizes that the poetic is far truer than the practical. 

That Jesus is not just real, he is wonderful. 

That "she" is not made for him, but he is made for her. 

A lover loves going home to his wife and kids, it is where he desires to be most.

God is the definition of love, and He loves us so much that He gave His only son as the ultimate sacrifice.

And the Bible says we are made in His image ....

I'm writing to warriors and lovers, and those in between. We'll talk Bible, business, love, fatherhood, pain, and triumph from a day-to-day perspective. 

We'll also dance, like real lovers do, sharing our experiences and perspectives with one another as we feel led. 

You can find the content of Warrior's Journey Home on my social media platforms and my blog page. If I say anything that you think can help someone, I would be honored if you shared it. 

The idea for this blog was inspired by my reading of "Fathered by God" by John Eldridge. I love that book and highly recommend. The concept of the warrior and lover belong to John, I just resonate and want to build on it. 

I would love for you to keep up with us. Know that anything we put out will be from the heart.

Until next time.

Quick to Speak - Slow to Listen?

Are you quick to speak and slow to listen? I can be. Recently, I've been reflecting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Israel. I have my views—perhaps to be shared in another post—but amidst the deep polarization of the conflict, I've been exploring a need I feel to choose my side, for lack of better words. So, I've been reading extensively, trying to gather evidence about who is right and what is right. It's been exhausting because this conflict is complex. Why are university presidents getting fired? Why are students upset? Why are nations up in arms? What's the spiritual undertone? Who has the right to this land? Is the fighting just? Is just fighting a real thing? Why are so many innocents in harm's way? What is God thinking? What is the Plan? Many big questions. Selfishly, it is stimulating, which is where my personal problem lies. More stimulating academic research for the African American largely removed from the day-to-day unbearable nature of war. N

Warrior Profiles: Abraham

-
Dear Warriors, We are called to fight for what we believe in, protect our loved ones, and stand up for what is right. The Bible is filled with stories of men who embodied these qualities, one of whom is Abraham, a patriarch of the Christian faith. Abraham was a man of great faith, courage, and leadership. One of his most inspiring moments was when he rescued his nephew Lot from captivity. As Abraham journeyed through the Negev, awaiting the receipt of the promised land that God had assured him, Lot settled in the city of Sodom, notorious for its wickedness. One day, a coalition of kings from neighboring cities attacked Sodom, captured Lot, and took him captive along with the spoils of war. Upon hearing what had occurred, Abraham gathered 318 trained men from his household and pursued the enemy forces. During the night, he divided his forces, launched a surprise attack on the enemy, and rescued Lot along with the spoils of war. Abraham was willing to take action in the face of danger an

Trusting God for Our Daily Bread: A Simple but Profound Prayer

-
Dear Warriors, Today, I would like to discuss a simple yet powerful prayer that Jesus taught his disciples: "Give us this day our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11, NIV). While we often focus on planning and accomplishing long-term goals, it is essential to remember that we need God's provision every day. We cannot do it alone. This prayer recognizes our dependence on God for both our physical and spiritual sustenance. It reminds us that we need to trust in Him each day instead of relying solely on our strength and resources. In our daily lives, we encounter numerous decisions and challenges that require wisdom and discernment. Whether it is navigating relationships with family, friends, and coworkers, or balancing work and family responsibilities, we must seek God's guidance and provision. My particular vocation involves facing various daily challenges that I do not have answers to. Often, I find myself lacking the patience and wisdom needed to deal effectively with them. S
