In this episode of Dear Brothers, Dr. Jackson Taylor talks about one of the most misunderstood substances in the modern world — nicotine. We break down what it really is, how it works in the body, and why it’s not the villain most men think it is. From smoking and dipping to vapes and pouches, we’ll explore how many people are using it today, its effects on focus and performance, and how to approach it with discipline, not dependence.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17, ESV)

Many men love to quote this verse — few live it.

True brotherhood isn’t comfort, it’s confrontation. It’s learning to accept correction, face the dullness of your own blade, and become sharper through the friction of truth and accountability.

In this week’s Sunday Sermon, we look deeper at what it means to be refined by other men — and why the sharpening process is necessary if we’re ever going to become who God called us to be.

In this episode of Dear Brothers, Dr. Jackson Taylor talks about the discipline of rising early — not just from bed, but into purpose. Drawing from Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic call to duty, we explore what it means to reject comfort, wake up with conviction, and start the day as men who are called to work, lead, and serve.
