One of the biggest dangers I've seen for men today is the pressure to sit down and shut up. Men are told they should comply and just be nice guys. There is nothing wrong with being nice, but the pressure to be nice is causing men to not stand up for anything. This is not how we were designed as men. We aren't called to get along, but we are called to lead. We should lead ourselves and we should lead our society. Strong men can be nice, but guys who are just nice cannot be strong when they need to be.

Nice Guy Motivations
- Men should know how to act in every situation and many times we should be nice guys
- Sometimes we can't be nice, we have to be strong and take a stand
- If we have a hard time stepping up when the time calls for it, we need to dig inside ourselves and find out why
- Common Nice Guy Motivations

Building Our Backbone
- What can men do to balance being nice and being strong?
- Backbone in men is their core beliefs about themselves and life in general
- Core beliefs
- Foundations give strength
- Relativism robs men of their backbone
- The only way men will build their backbone is to dig down and build up their own foundation of core beliefs
