#22 - Vince Miller on Building Stronger Men in 2020
Abandoned by his father at the age of two, Vince Miller grew up in a challenging and anxiety-producing environment. He endured the strain of his mother’s two failed marriages as well as her poor choices and drug use. Fortunately, during Vince’s formative teen years his grandfather, a man of faith, stepped up to mentor Vince, guiding him through a particularly difficult period. Though he resisted initially, Vince surrendered his life to Christ at the age of 20. Soon after, he would be with his grandfather on his deathbed as cancer took his life. At that time, Vince committed before God to give back by mentoring men as his grandfather had mentored him. Vince’s story demonstrates the importance of mentors to support others in overcoming the enormous hurdles that manhood, mentoring, fathering, and leadership present to a man who wants to live right before God. Audiences respond to Vince’s stories and teaching that motivate, convict, and sometimes even shock. He inspires men to lead, mentor, and disciple others with an intelligent argument for faith, inspiring presentation of the gospel, and stories of choices he made as a man, husband, and father. After serving in notable ministry organizations for over 28 years (including Young Life, InterVarsity, TCU Football, and Eagle Brook Church), Vince founded Resolute, a non-profit organization focused on providing men with tools for discipleship and mentorship. He’s written 16 books and handbooks, along with small group videos that are resources for mentorship. He also produces THE MEN'S DAILY DEVO and the 20-Minute Bible Study. His latest book is a devotional and mentoring guide for men called THIRTY VIRTUES THAT BUILD A MAN. More from Vince Miller at BeResolute.org More church leadership resources at FearlessLeaders.net
