Ecclesiastes 4
If you have your Bible, please turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 4. Go to Psalms and take a right, and Proverbs Ecclesiastes, then Song of Solomon. Ecclesiastes chapter 4. We're in a series called “Man Up: God's Guide to Real Manhood.” And we've been talking for the last few weeks about wounds that so many guys carry in their hearts. Not just guys, but girls, too. But there are wounds in a guy's heart that can keep them stuck in boyhood and stuck in a position in life that limits them and inhibits them from really becoming a man God wants them to be.

Well, today, we want to talk about another wound that many men carry in their hearts, and it's the wound of fe ...
