Men of Consequence: Past
David Wilkerson (1931–2011)
David Wilkerson (1931–2011) Street Evangelist. Founder. Father to the Addicted and Forgotten.
In 1958, a small-town preacher named David Wilkerson saw a Life Magazine article about a gang trial in New York. Most would have pitied the faces on the page and turned to the next story. Wilkerson turned his steering wheel toward Brooklyn. Alone.
That moment of obedience changed history. He walked into neighborhoods where pastors feared to go places filled with addiction, violence, and despair, and carried only a Bible and the love of Christ. What began as a one-man act of courage became a worldwide movement of redemption.
Wilkerson didn’t build platforms; he built altars. He preached repentance with tears in his voice and power in his convictions. The Cross and the Switchblade told his story, but the true legacy was the lives transformed through Teen Challenge a discipleship network still breaking chains in more than 100 nations.
He didn’t chase comfort. He chased souls. And when the streets burned with fear, he burned brighter.
5 Key Facts About David Wilkerson
Founded Teen Challenge in 1960, now in over 100 countries helping addicts find lasting freedom.
Authored The Cross and the Switchblade, translated into 30+ languages, selling over 15 million copies.
Known for uncompromising holiness and fearless street ministry during the rise of urban gang violence.
Pastored Times Square Church during the height of the AIDS and crack epidemic, calling a city to repentance.
Lived with deep personal integrity, emphasizing repentance, purity, and prayer over applause or popularity.
Wilkerson’s life reminds us: real leadership isn’t measured by safety or success but by surrender. Comfort builds crowds, but conviction builds movements.
Practical Leadership
Modern fatherhood feels like a paradox. Men are told to lead but not dominate, to provide but not disappear, to serve but not surrender their edge. It’s no wonder so many feel torn between pressure and passivity.
But biblical leadership isn’t about doing everything it’s about distributing strength. Shared responsibility is not weakness; it’s wisdom. When a man invites his wife and children into the mission, he teaches ownership, teamwork, and humility.
The goal isn’t to carry it all; it’s to cultivate a household that carries together.
Actionable Leadership Framework:
1️⃣ Name the Weight You Carry
Why it matters: You can’t delegate what you haven’t defined.
Example: Write down everything that weighs on you spiritual, financial, emotional. Then ask, “Who can grow if I share this?”
2️⃣ Sync Weekly With Your Spouse
Why it matters: Unity doesn’t happen accidentally.
Example: Spend 30 minutes each Sunday reviewing the week’s schedule, finances, and family priorities. End with prayer, not pressure.
3️⃣ Invite Kids Into the Mission, Not Just the Maintenance
Why it matters: Responsibility shapes identity.
Example: Let them pray over dinner, lead a family task, or share one goal they want to help the family reach.
Reflection or Challenge:
Ask your wife and children: “What do I do that makes you feel seen and safe and what’s one thing I can do better?” Then receive their words as leadership feedback, not criticism.
Wellness Frontline
The Glycogen Gap: Fueling the Energy You Keep Losing
You’re not tired because you’re weak. You’re tired because your body’s energy systems are out of sync.
New research in 2025 identifies a hidden factor called “glycogen lag” a drop in cellular energy that sabotages focus, resilience, and mood, even in fit men. When your glycogen stores deplete faster than they replenish, you feel foggy, impulsive, and easily frustrated.
The fix isn’t more caffeine or stricter diets it’s smarter energy management.
Top 3 Health Strategies with Insight:
1️⃣ Refuel Post-Workout Within 45 Minutes
Why it works: Combining carbs and protein restores glycogen and stabilizes testosterone levels.
2️⃣ Track Glucose Variability, Not Just Averages
Why it works: Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) reveal how your body reacts to meals, stress, and sleep real-time feedback for real energy.
3️⃣ Frontload the Day With Fat + Fiber
Why it works: Starting your day with avocado, eggs, or chia seeds flattens glucose spikes and prevents the 3 p.m. crash.
7-Day Health Challenge
Track your energy dips for one week. Note what triggers fatigue missed meals, stress, or workouts. Then adjust timing before adding stimulants.

Lead Your Business
AI Is Not the Strategy It’s the Amplifier
In the race to adopt AI, many leaders are forgetting this truth: technology doesn’t create integrity it exposes it.
AI magnifies what already exists in your leadership. If your vision is cloudy, AI will multiply confusion. If your culture is weak, AI will scale dysfunction. But if your mission is clear and your people aligned, AI becomes a force multiplier for good.
Leadership in this era isn’t about replacing people it’s about refining purpose. The real differentiator won’t be who uses AI fastest, but who uses it faithfully.
Top 3 Business Strategies:
1️⃣ Identify AI’s True Purpose in Your Organization
Example: Automate data entry or analysis, not human empathy or decision-making.
2️⃣ Train Teams to Think, Then Tech
Example: Equip employees to understand AI’s limits and strengths. Ask: “What should this tool never replace?”
3️⃣ Integrate Ethics as a System, Not a Slogan
Example: Build ethical checkpoints into every workflow privacy, bias, transparency and make them visible.
Final Takeaway:
AI doesn’t define your strategy; it reveals your character. Let your leadership give technology its direction, not the other way around.
