Picture a world exactly like ours, born from the same energy and at the same time as our own. But in this world, something extraordinary happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. When the first reasoning humans emerged, they chose a path vastly different from ours. These men and women rejected religion, government, and authority. They valued their independence above all else and chose to live a life of individuality, self-reliance, and self-governance. For these men and women, sex isn't a taboo subject. They act on their natural urges whenever they feel like it. Love and marriage, as concepts, do not exist for these individuals. As long as everyone involved consents, there's no shame in pursuing desires. Now, imagine encountering one of these individuals. How would they perceive you with your beliefs and customs? How would you feel in their presence, facing someone who lives so differently from you? Most importantly, how would they react to your way of life? This story delves into a world where norms and expectations are flipped upside down, inviting you to explore the mysteries of human connection and understanding. This is Pointy Men.

Get ready to wrestle with discipleship!Praise for Wrestling With Discipleship"Chad Davidson is a bold truth proclaimer and defender, and discipleship is a much-needed yet neglected subject. In his book, Wrestling with Discipleship, he brilliantly maneuvers in and out of God's Word as well as his wrestling expertise and shares personal stories leading to biblical principles of discipleship. An important voice for his generation, Davidson pins down a tough topic in this easy-to-read and understand book that is sure to benefit the body of Christ!"- David Fiorazo, Author, Speaker, Pastor and Host of Worldview Matters "Many 'modern Churches' ignore an important fact when it comes to the Christian path: we are in a spiritual war. We are in a fight or...a wrestling match. It's something that we need to contend for every day. In this book, Chad Davidson lays out a beautiful prescription of what that looks like and how to follow a Christian warrior's path. To God be the Glory!"- Bryce Eddy, Host of The Bryce Eddy Show "Wrestling with Discipleship is a terrific book that I'll read again and again. Chad is a wonderful brother in Christ and he's tackled discipleship with excellence. Paul told Timothy that physical training is good but training in godliness holds promise for this life and the next. This book will give you the spiritual training necessary. Jesus commissioned us as believers to make disciples and anyone who really grasps the Biblical truths of this book will be armed and ready to fulfill it, knock the enemy down, and finish the good fight.
