The Frontline Podcast For Christian Men

Spontaneous short episodes recorded Off The Cuff from the heart and life of Matt Knoll

In this episode, I reflect on this year's stubborn winter in Canada—how it clings to the cold, refusing to let go and give way to spring's new life. Spiritually, I see a parallel: just as winter tries to hold on, so too does the old season in our lives. When God calls us to step into something new, the enemy will try to keep us tied to the past—just like Pharaoh's army pursued Israel at the Red Sea. But just as God delivered them, He is faithful to bring us into a new season. Let's trust Him, step forward in faith, and embrace the fresh start He has for us.

Too many Christian men are trying to fight spiritual battles alone. In this video, I talk about the danger of becoming a “lone wolf” Christian and why God never designed us to walk this faith journey isolated from other believers.Isolation weakens your faith, drains your spiritual strength, and makes you an easier target for the enemy. We need biblical brotherhood, accountability, encouragement, and strong Christian community to stay grounded in Christ.If you've been pulling away, struggling silently, or trying to carry everything on your own, this video is for you.Be strong. Stay watchful. Stand firm in the faith.

Many Christian men are exhausted spiritually, mentally, and emotionally — but don't always know why. In this episode, I share 5 reasons Christian men become spiritually drained and what Scripture says about overcoming burnout, distraction, and discouragement.If you've been feeling distant from God, lacking passion, or struggling to stay spiritually strong, this message is for you. God never called men to live empty and defeated. He calls us to walk in strength, purpose, and obedience.In this episode we talk about:* Distraction and compromise* Lack of prayer and time with God* Carrying burdens alone* Losing sight of purposeIf this podcast encouraged you, subscribe for more biblical content focused on helping Christian men grow spiritually, mentally, and practically in their walk with God.

How do you actually know if you're hearing God… or just your own thoughts?This is something almost every Christian man wrestles with—but not many talk about honestly.In this video, I break it down in a real, simple way:* How to recognize God's voice* How to tell the difference between your thoughts and His leading* How to spot the enemy's lies* And what Scripture says about all of itIf you've ever second-guessed yourself, felt confused, or wondered, “Is this really God?” — you're not alone.This isn't about overcomplicating it. It's about learning to walk with God with clarity and confidence.

If you're honest, this is something a lot of us wrestle with quietly.You love God, you want to change, you've prayed about it, you've tried to walk away from it… but somehow you still find yourself back in the same place again.In this video, we talk about why that cycle can feel so hard to break and what's really going on underneath the surface. Not just behavior, but the deeper battle that every believer faces when it comes to sin, temptation, and growth in Christ.This isn't about shame. It's about clarity, honesty, and hope.

On today's episode I share seven reasons why some Christian men are not happy in their life.

Our kids are watching us, and listening to us. Young or old, they are absolutely aware if we are men who practice what we preach. Our desire should be, to be men of integrity all of the time.

Life is a journey that God is leading His people on. At times, the way that He Leads doesn't make sense, but we trust that God is working out His perfect plan along the way.

There will be times in our Christian lives, where we will really need God's clear and specific direction. Sometimes we battle uncertainty and worry, and we wonder where God is leading us? It's in these times that God wants us to trust Him with all of our hearts and lean not on our understanding of things.

If you are feeling discouraged in your Christian walk, you must remind yourself of these 5 truths straight from the Word of God.

The only way to get pure olive oil is through the pressing and crushing of the olive. The same applies in our lives as Christian men. At times God needs to press us, in order to produce something pure and powerful in us. If you are facing great pressure in your life, there is a purpose for it that God will use for His glory and your good.

Every man will experience being worn out, or exhausted from life. This is normal. What's not normal is burn out. Burn out is when a man is in a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or excessive stress. It's often the result of feeling overwhelmed, drained, and unable to meet constant demands, which can lead to feelings of cynicism, detachment, and reduced accomplishment.If we find ourselves burned out, we must find rest and recovery.

Naturally our flesh is selfish and only wants itself to be served. Our flesh is greedy and prideful, and desires other people to treat us fair and with respect, but it's a fight for us to do the same for others. Jesus showed us how we are to treat others, by willingly laying His life down for us, in the greatest example of humility and love ever shown. We are to do the same for others.

Life is hard. Our world is dark and evil. We get exhausted and overwhelmed. Jesus offers us a peace that can NEVER be found in this world. Jesus Christ is our peace!

God knows everything about you. The good, the bad and the ugly. Even still, you are deeply loved by God.

The older I get, the more I realize the importance of having a daily routine that I stick to. Any time you start a new routine, we start off strong, but can easily get lazy and stop doing it. Let's purpose this year to make a good and healthy routine in our lives, and by God's grace, we stick to it one day at a time.

God will at times bless people with a lot of wealth. Having money is not a sin, but if money has us, now we are in trouble. We must not allow money to enslave us. God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others.

With the hustle and bustle of life, all the places to go and people to see. When life is going great with experiencing a promotion, a pay raise, a new home, a new relationship, more income or an increase of pleasure in our lives, we can easily be tempted to forget about God. Don't Do That!

Life can get exhausting with the fast paced, daily grind of work, family, and responsibilities. Then on top of this, we recognize how heavy and difficult the spiritual battle can be, that we are in all of the time as Christian men. God offers us times of rest, renewal and refreshing. I encourage you to take Him up on his offer.

Matt shares his heart with you and expresses his vision for the Frontline Man ministry on today's episode.

We live in a world where sex has been completely twisted and perverted into something dirty, sinful, lust-filled and selfish, and is used in ways that God never created it for. Sex was created by God for one man and one woman in the context of marriage as a way to reproduce children, and also as a way to enjoy the pleasure it brings. The world has recorded it, photographed it, monetized it and has put it out in the world for all to see, with no concern at all how this is destroying marriages and men's lives everyday. Our desire as Christian men should be to live everyday in sexual purity, and to stand firm against this lust that also wants to destroy our lives.

Jesus was our example of the kind of men we should be. Jesus was a humble man who made himself of no reputation, and this is how we should strive to live like. Pride and arrogance in our lives will destroy us, and will for sure lead us to destruction. We must be men who stay focused on living lives of humility.

As Christian men, we will sin. It's vital when we see that we confess our sins to God and ask Him to cleanse us and forgive us. At times, the Holy Spirit may prompt us to confess our sin struggles to our wives. I have experienced this and I have felt the hurt it brings, but also the healing it brings.

Christian's are on the Frontlines of many spiritual battles. We can be greatly distracted when the fight is raging. We must stand firm, hold our ground and trust the Lord will fight for us.

We think we know what God is doing. We do our best to do what we feel He has called us to do. But then, out of nowhere, God opens up a door of opportunity for you. If it's God.....step into the open door by faith and watch what God will do.

The devil, demons and darkness are very real. Satan is the god of this world and he and his demons are deceiving many. As Christians, we have been enlisted in the army of God to fight in faith in the spiritual war. The battle is intense, but as we fight, we know it is from a position of victory in Jesus.

Charlie Kirk's assassination is a horrible tragedy. He was a man who was unashamed of his faith in Jesus, and he stood bodly for truth and righteousness. This murder was a work of Satan and is a unfortunate reminder of the evil spiritual war Christian's are in against the devil and demons in the unseen world. Let's be praying for Charlie's wife and his two children.

Every Christian father will have times where he misses the mark and feels like a failure as a dad. This is hard to face, but we need to remind ourselves that we are only human. I hope you find encouragement by my story of feeling like a failure as a father.

Too often we can assume that tomorrow will always come. We can become lazy and complacent in how we live for God and towards people, and we just expect life to go on. But the truth is that, tomorrow is never a guarantee. Every day is a gift, and today is all that we have. Lets use our time for the purposes of God and His glory.

Not one of us deserves God's love, mercy, grace or forgiveness, yet, God offers it to us freely and daily. We are nobody. We are creation, yet the almighty Creator delights in us and faithfully loves us. This is incredible. CONNECThttps://linktr.ee/thefrontlineman SUPPORT HERE |https://www.paypal.me/thefrontlineman
