As summer wrapped up, Clarity Church launched the Men’s Breakfast Club (MBC). We meet Saturdays at 8:00 AM at the Perkins in Osseo / Brooklyn Park, by the Fleet Farm.

The MBC offers gatherings for men, to provide encouragement, fellowship, and a deeper understanding of faith and life’s purpose.

Key aspects of these events:

  • Community and growth: Men are encouraged to connect, be refreshed, and grow together in their faith.
  • Fellowship and brotherhood: The core purpose is to build community and a sense of brotherhood among men. 
  • Spiritual encouragement: Group Prayer support, and biblical discussion that offer teaching and practical application for navigating life’s challenges. 
  • Practical application: Our goal as a group is to equip more men to take on appropriate levels of Authority, Responsibility and Leadership in order to lead well in their homes, communities, and spheres of influence.

On Saturday, October 4th , 2025, the MBC group will be starting a new devotional , “Thirty Virtues That Build A Man” by Vince Miller. We will go through this devotional as a group Bible study & discussion. Materials for this study have been sponsored through our friends at Man Skilz (http://ManSkilz.org)

The Strong Foundation Logo

CalebStrong.org is under some more maintenance. We had already added new features for event tracking and registration. This was done to help us start new groups and track when a new group needs to be kicked off. You might notice that some older pages are gone. Most of those pages were focused on events that have long since ended. With the creation of the events calendar, and individual event pages, those type of event pages are no longer and the new one are more easily maintained.

We also have cleaned up some of the pages to make them less verbose (why can’t I just say “wordy”???), … Click to Continue →

Hi there friends. I did this a few years ago, and now I think it’s time again.

There are over 1,100+ reader/user accounts on CalebStrong. Very few are accounts with activity. I will be purging all accounts that have not interacted with the site for more than a 5 second glance. This is in preparation for what we will be working on and writing about in this new year. I pray that the actual readers and followers of CalebStrong.org, will return, sign-up and interact this year.

If you are having problems with sign-up because you are in the *.RU or *.CN  top level domains, then please do message me if you really want to be involved. These are the countries that try to … Click to Continue →

Site Update: SEO Rankings and Spam.

Email Overload

SEO Ranking and recognition has its drawbacks. ^_^

We have been hit by the internet spam monster. Our comment sections are overflowing with advertisements and comments that are sent in by bots with the only goal being to create back-links for phishing/scam or other spamtastic sites that wouldn’t exist in my perfect internet world. You won’t see them on the site because ALL COMMENTS are now moderated by an Admin. I guess I asked for it a little bit… Much like another sites I write for like Learn Differently, Computer Gurus, Redeemed-N-Delivered and the Original BibleCounts; The problem with this site was that I left the comments and registration open to ANYONE. The Hope was that I would get more honorable people posting, as opposed to SPAMMERS. (Yes, I AM in fact saying Spammers lack honor.)

 

Combat Spam

So once more I must change things up in order to combat SPAM. Articles and posts will still be open to everyone. The primary change is that comments may now only be permitted for registered users. This means that we have to approve registration AND the comment itself. Additionally we just added R-DNS and Email account verification to all Comment posts and Registration requests. Hopefully this improves the comment quality.  As we become more popular we will continue to modify the tech behind the site in order to keep the content and experience positive.

Thank you for your time and readership.

We pray God’s Love and Blessings to you and your families this Christmas season.

May Jesus have His way with your day
