True Manliness by James F. Clarke (A Powerful Speech for Young Men)
In 2009, when we were back from our 1st deployment ready to go on vacation, I was asked to go to school to become a leader. I jumped at the chance when many others said no because we were getting ready to go to Iraq again. I wasn’t the first person considered and yet, I stepped up.
Leading in the U.S. Army put me in the path of some awesome men. Yes, I was raised by a good man, I fell in love with one, but watching men step up and do their best for our country has been the honor of my life.
I am working to raise a boy into a man, as much as a mother can. I will never know what manliness or masculinity feels like from a women’s perspective nor pretend to tell any man how to be a man. That is what fathers and mentors are for. What I impart is that many women and other groups in society benefit from when men step up.
From time to time, I will post men talking to men, so you can benefit even from this female owned organization. My gender does not mean I do not see the purpose and Vision God has for men.
We present a powerful speech for Young Men by James F. Clarke. Here is his bio.
James Freeman Clarke (born April 4, 1810, Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.—died June 8, 1888, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts) was a Unitarian minister, theologian, and author whose influence helped elect Grover Cleveland president of the United States in 1884.
After graduating from Harvard College in 1829 and Harvard Divinity School in 1833 and serving his first pastorate in Louisville, Kentucky, from 1833 to 1840, Clarke established in 1841 the Church of the Disciples in Boston, where he was minister from 1841 to 1850 and from 1854 until his death. He was also professor of religion at Harvard (1867–71). He worked closely with many of the significant persons of his day, and he printed original works by his friends Ralph Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Nathaniel Hawthorne in the Western Messenger, a short-lived magazine he edited while at Louisville. A versatile reformer, Clarke opposed slavery and advocated changes in the civil service. The latter reforms were part of Grover Cleveland’s platform as a candidate for president in 1884, and Clarke lent his influential support to Cleveland’s campaign.
In addition to editing such magazines as the Christian World (1843–48) and the Monthly Journal of the American Unitarian Association (1859–61), Clarke published more than 1,000 articles and sermons and 32 books, including Ten Great Religions, 2 vol. (1871, 1883). His Autobiography, Diary, and Correspondence, edited by Edward Everett Hale, appeared in 1891. (Source)

Our Iconic Campaign is Bigger than Ever!
The Iconic Story:
On October 1, 2022, I, Marriage Coach Nicole Pinkston launched the Iconic Media organization to empower men and women to build social empires that thrive.
Thriving is different from lasting. We don't just want to couple people up, we want couples that are flourishing, building generational wealth and lasting in love, marriage, family and in their lives.
Social empires are our family structures set up to maintain our families and our legacy regardless of the society around us. And we are in trouble, because our structures are crumbling.
We aim to change that!
I have been married for 12 years and it has not always been easy. Even with being a combat veteran and a trained soldier, marriage was tough in the beginning for us, even with Biblical principles in mind.
Do you or someone you know want to have a happy and lasting marriage? Do you want to learn the secrets of successful couples and great stories of those who overcome the challenges of life together? Do you want to get a marriage book with the secret formula or more?
IF you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have come to the right place.
We are writing "The Iconic Formula for Marriage Success", our 6th book!

The Iconic Formula for Marriage Success” eBook written by Nicole Pinkston aka Mrs. Pinky will follow these ideas of our eCourse of the same name teaching you and your spouse 12 foundational principles to help you map a 25-year success plan for your marriage.
