Most men's devotionals ask for five minutes and give back a verse and a thought. Soul Weathered asks for something harder, and offers something more.
Kharis Publishing today released Soul Weathered: Devotions Forged in the Fire of Real Life by Mark Folk, founder of New Wilderness and a longtime guide of men seeking purpose, faith, and formation.
Written from the wilderness, the trail, and the quiet places where life presses hard, the book runs a full year across eight "Waypoints" — The Relentless Pursuit of God, Unbreakable Grace, Fatherhood and the Father-Heart of God, What Do You Want?, What's Real?, Wilderness and Presence, Inner Weather, and Asking and Listening. Fifty-two weekly readings sit beneath them, with titles like Chronic Temptations, 4 A.M. Faith, Storm Contentment, and The Will of God and the Weight of Regret.
The tone throughout is honest rather than polished. Folk isn't offering easy answers. He's making room for endurance, wrestling, and the slow work of becoming a man who can carry what God entrusts to him.
"Real faith is forged, not learned," said Folk. "You don't get there by adding another habit to a comfortable life. You get there by staying awake in the parts that are hard."
This book will help you:
- Build spiritual strength through reflection and lived faith
- Recognize God's voice in silence, struggle, and everyday life
- Develop resilience shaped by pressure and truth
- Break free from distraction and passive belief
- Live with clarity, purpose, and staying power
Each week includes Scripture, reflection, and space to wrestle with God in real time — a structure that works alone, in a men's group, in a discipleship pairing, or as a father-and-son year.
