Ep 2092: 365 Days of Impact

It’s been a while, but iWork4Him welcomes back Blake Mattocks, founder of 365 Christian Men, a ministry dedicated to sharing inspirational stories from men of faith each and every day of the year. What started as a humble effort to inspire four sons has turned into a global movement reaching 8–10 million people monthly across over 100 countries. 

Blake shares his remarkable transition from bricklayer to pastor to ministry leader, revealing how obedience to God, faith in His plans, and authentic storytelling have the power to transform lives around the world. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Humble Beginnings: Blake’s journey began with a background in bricklaying and pastoral ministry before he took a faith-filled leap into digital storytelling. 

  • The Vision: Inspired by Hebrews 12:1, the mission of 365 Christian Men is to highlight single, pivotal moments in men’s lives—warts and all—that can inspire others to run their own race well. 

  • Global Impact: With stories translated into multiple languages and a reach of millions each month, the ministry is touching lives everywhere—even saving lives, like a woman in India who found hope through a translated story. 

  • New Horizons: Now a 501(c)(3), the ministry is at a crossroads, raising support to expand content, reach, and languages through a “500 People Challenge.” 

  • How to Engage: Sign up via app or text to receive daily stories and challenges. It's free, powerful, and incredibly easy to share. 

Resources Mentioned: 

  • App: Available for both Apple and Android
