DARRIN GRAY Director of Partnerships at All Pro Dad, the national fatherhood program founded by Tony Dungy I met Roger when I was playing second base and Roger was our catcher on the Little League ball field. That was a long time ago, but I remember being a bit jealous of Roger because his position required a suit of armor while I just had a hat and glove. Catchers need armor to effectively fulfill their position. The same is true for the man of God. We need the armor of God, and most of us just pick up a hat or glove a couple of Sundays a month. More is required to fulfill our position at home and work—​­we need daily armor. A Minute of Vision for Men will help you do just that. minute_of_vision_for_men_a.indd 3 8/31/2016 9:53:26 AM The short-​­but-​­precise thought and Scripture will arm you daily for the battle and set you on a victorious path!
