Most of us are UNINTENTIONAL with screens, but the architects within the tech industry intentionally make their content distracting, manipulative, and addictive. My conversation with Doug Smith, author of the best-selling book [UN]INTENTIONAL, shows how our obsession with screens can take us to places we regret. And in his book, he unpacks a biblical approach to breaking free from our addiction to screens. This conversation, and Doug's book, are essential tools for men as we strive to lead ourselves and our families with integrity and intentionality.

Men today face many challenges, including depression, apathy, and a general lack of purpose, arguably resulting from the soft lifestyles we have the luxury of living in our modern age. To compensate and reclaim key components of masculinity, men must replace physical work once associated with survival with physical training at home or in the gym. In this episode, my guest, Jordan Miller of Run2Gun, helps me break down the many benefits of physical fitness. We talk about the importance of having a growth mindset, how improved fitness leads to better performance, and how the discipline we develop in the gym bleeds into every area of life because training is a metaphor for life.

Between what we see happening overseas, economic unknowns, COVID-related policies that impact our way of life, and much more, there are plenty of things that can consume a man's thoughts these days, especially when it comes to politics. I'll be the first to raise my hand that I've been guilty. For many months, I have wrestled with an unhealthy amount of anger and frustration about what I see happening in the world around me, and I haven't been afraid to share my opinions on social media (which is pointless). In fact, I have let my anger and my passionate love of country become an idol in my life, and I see it happening to Christian men everywhere. Join me and my co-host, Jacob Green, as we unpack this topic, what it can mean for your faith life, and some ways to right the ship before it's too late. I'm committing myself to be better and I would like you to join me.

I grew up with immense respect for our servicemen and women and have long believed that their experiences have a lot to teach us—if we would listen. That's why I'm excited to introduce John Mollison, an award-winning artist, and filmmaker who, in his words, "interviews old guys and draws their airplanes." But John's work is so much more. It not only captures stories from some of our nation's greatest heroes but provides opportunities for us to learn from their life experiences so that we might become better husbands, fathers, and leaders. I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you'll be enriched by it as well.

Our culture is obsessed with evil. If you need proof, look no further than Hollywood, which has largely built its empire on stories involving the occult.

My guest in this episode is Billy Hallowell, an investigative journalist whose latest book, Playing With Fire: A Modern Investigation into Demons, Exorcism, and Ghosts, dives deep into this topic.
