Do you feel spiritually numb despite being saved and studying God's Word? You're not alone. Many Christian men experience this – on fire in their first year following salvation, then gradually feeling stuck as life's burdens weigh them down. The answer lies in Philippians 2:3-4. This counter-cultural command reveals a profound truth: serving others reignites our spiritual passion. Just as Jesus came not to be served but to serve, our spiritual renewal often begins when we shift focus from ourselves to the needs of others.2025 Reclaiming the Wild Men's RetreatDisconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your fellow brothers in Christ around a crackling campfire.

Why does the birth of Christ receive months of anticipation, elaborate decorations, and significant financial investment, while the resurrection—the very foundation of our faith—often feels like a mere footnote in the Christian calendar?Don't forget to check out the Book of The Week: The Eternal Optimist: It's Never Too Late by Matt Drinkhahn2025 Reclaiming the Wild Men's RetreatDisconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your fellow brothers in Christ around a crackling campfire.

Why does Santa get all the attention while the Easter Bunny barely gets noticed?

What makes Easter the cornerstone of Christian faith, and why does it seem to get overshadowed so often? This powerful spiritual kickoff episode tackles the monumental significance of Christ's resurrection through an off-the-cuff, Spirit-led exploration of 1 Corinthians 15. The resurrection separates Christianity from every other belief system. While many religions follow teachers who remain in their graves, we serve a risen Savior who conquered death itself. Through compelling historical evidence—including over 500 eye-witnesses, the testimony of Jesus' skeptical half-brother James, and the transformed lives of the apostles who faced death for their testimony—we see why the empty tomb changes everything.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

In this unflinchingly honest conversation, Nick Stumbo shares his journey from serving as a senior pastor while secretly battling pornography addiction to finding freedom and now helping others as Executive Director of Pure Desire Ministries. Nick reveals how his early exposure to sexual content created patterns of shame and secrecy that followed him into adulthood, marriage, and ministry—despite his sincere faith and leadership position. What makes this episode particularly powerful is the exploration of why churches and seminaries continue to avoid addressing sexual brokenness effectively, despite statistics showing 75% of men and 44% of women in congregations struggle with pornography. Nick explains how the taboo nature of sexuality in Christian contexts creates perfect conditions for shame to flourish while healing stagnates.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

What are you clinging to that's weighing you down? Apostle Paul's powerful declaration in Philippians 3:7 offers a transformative perspective on surrender and true fulfillment: "But whatever were gains to me, I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." Paul wasn't speaking as someone with nothing to lose. As the "Pharisee of Pharisees," he had achieved the highest religious status in his culture. Yet after encountering Jesus, everything he once valued suddenly appeared worthless compared to knowing Christ. His radical transformation reveals a powerful truth: the things we believe bring fulfillment often leave us empty.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Every Christian father wrestles with the weight of responsibility—how do we effectively pass our faith to our children in a way that truly sticks? Drawing from Psalm 78:4, this episode dives deep into the biblical mandate to "tell the next generation" about God's faithfulness.

Now what?) that transforms family Bible study from awkward monologues into engaging dialogues that build genuine faith understanding.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

What if the most vital task in parenting isn't getting your kids into a good college, but helping them develop a faith that lasts? Barrett Johnson, President of INFO (Imperfect and Normal Families Only), shares a game-changing framework for spiritual parenting that will transform how you view your role as a father. Drawing from Jesus' own discipleship model, Barrett reveals a simple yet profound approach structured like a house: a foundation of abiding with God, three pillars of modeling, teaching, and applying faith, and a roof of connecting through authentic relationships. This blueprint offers hope to dads who feel inadequate for the spiritual leadership role.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Every Christian father carries a divine mandate to disciple their children, passing down not just traditions but a living faith. Drawing from Psalm 78:4, this episode explores the profound responsibility we have to share God's praiseworthy deeds and wonders with the next generation. Your children pay attention to more than your words—they're watching how you live your faith. When you share personal stories of God's faithfulness in your life, you transform abstract biblical concepts into tangible realities they can grasp and remember. The faith that sticks isn't found in occasional religious conversations but in the daily rhythm of life—bedtime prayers, dinner discussions, car rides, and walking together.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Finding true margin in life feels like an impossible dream for most Christian men. We're constantly pulled between career demands, family responsibilities, and spiritual growth—often leaving us exhausted and wondering if we're failing at everything. This week's episode tackles this universal struggle head-on by unpacking the powerful lesson Jesus taught Martha in Luke 10:41-42 about choosing "what is better."For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Do you find yourself constantly running from one commitment to the next with barely a moment to breathe? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the biblical concept of margin and why it's absolutely essential for Christian men who want to grow as disciples and leaders. The story of Martha and Mary serves as our foundation, revealing how even well-intentioned service can rob us of what matters most. Martha's frantic preparations while Jesus sat in her living room mirror our own tendency to prioritize busyness over presence. As Jesus gently reminded her, "Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Feeling constantly overwhelmed by life's demands? You're not alone. Christian men everywhere struggle with packed schedules and relentless to-do lists that leave little room for what truly matters. This powerful episode unpacks the biblical concept of margin through the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:41-42. Jesus' gentle correction to Martha - "You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed, or indeed only one" - speaks directly to our modern dilemma of productivity versus purpose. Like Martha, we can become so consumed with doing good things that we miss Christ's presence right in front of us.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

Disaster struck Western North Carolina when Hurricane Helene tore through communities, leaving devastation in its wake. This catastrophic event revealed a sobering truth about church disaster response – sometimes well-meaning Christians become what relief expert Daniel calls "the second disaster" after the initial crisis.

Have you ever wondered how churches could better respond to disasters? Daniel Geraci's journey from healthy fast food entrepreneur to disaster relief pioneer reveals a powerful model that's transforming how Christians serve during crises.

What he discovered shocked him: emergency managers often consider churches "the second disaster" during crises due to well-meaning but untrained volunteers saying the wrong things at the wrong time.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:

The parable of the Good Samaritan offers a challenging blueprint for Christian men seeking to live out their faith beyond mere sympathy. When Jesus commanded "Go and do likewise," He wasn't offering a gentle suggestion—He was giving a clear directive that confronts our comfortable, outsourced approach to helping others. The Good Samaritan didn't hesitate when confronted with human suffering. He didn't check his schedule or wallet. He simply acted, crossing cultural and social boundaries to provide immediate aid to someone society had deemed unworthy.For full show note details, go to the episode webpage:
