Podcasts about act like men

Pastor Todd Menard

What does it actually mean to act like a man in the eyes of God? Welcome to Episode 1 of the "Act Like Men" series on Word Time with Coach Shelby Sr. and Coach Shelby Jr.In this foundational episode, we break down the life and faith of Noah—a man who stood righteous in a generation consumed by wickedness and persistent unfaithfulness. Noah worked faithfully for nearly a century on a massive project he had never seen before (an ark in the desert), facing potential mockery, isolation, and spiritual warfare. Yet, his unwavering obedience didn't just save him—it set the trajectory for his entire household.In this episode, we cover:The Calling & Influence of a Father: Why you plus God equals the majority, and how a father's spiritual leadership creates a umbrella of protection for his children until they reach an age to make their own stand for Christ.Ezekiel 14 & The Power of Personal Righteousness: A deep dive into Noah, Daniel, and Job, addressing why every individual must ultimately choose Christ for themselves—and how a godly father dramatically increases the odds of his family stepping into the ark.Building Your Ark: How the ark serves as a type and shadow of the Cross, and why spiritual leadership requires daily intentionality—not just when it's convenient.Faith vs. Fear & Overcoming Overwhelm: Recognizing that when fear or feeling overwhelmed creeps in, it's actually your golden opportunity to exercise faith.The Greatest Blessings: Why the ultimate blessings of God aren't earned by human striving, but inherited through simple obedience and faith.Men, your first ministry is right inside the walls of your own home. It's time to stop chasing fleeting distractions, pick up the Sword of the Spirit, and start building your ark.Key Scriptures: Genesis 6–10, Matthew 24:37–45, Hebrews 11:7, Ezekiel 14:12–20, 2 Peter 2:5#WordTime #ActLikeMen #Noah #BuildYourArk #FaithOverFear #SpiritualLeadership #BiblicalManhood #CoachShelby #ChristianMen #GenerationalFaith #Obedience

What if the problem isn't that you want too much, but that you want it for the wrong kingdom? In this special episode of The Pursuit, recorded at Act Like Men Conference, James Griffin sits down with Ruslan KD, one of the most recognizable Christian voices online, to talk about ambition, purpose, and what it takes to stop living like the main character of your own story. Ruslan's path runs from a refugee childhood in Azerbaijan through gang life, an arrest at eleven, and hardened atheism, to a radical conversion and a platform reaching millions.But this conversation is really about the two men sitting in every room: the lazy man doing just enough to get by, and the ambitious man crushing it while wasting it all on himself. Ruslan makes the case that both believe the same lie, and he lays out what Scripture actually says about godly ambition, why your job is your assignment and not your purpose, and how to know if your time, talent, and treasure are building God's kingdom or just your castle. If you've ever wondered whether your drive is honoring God or competing with Him, this one is for you.Subscribe for more messages and conversations that will help you know and follow Jesus.Episode Guide These guides are packed with key insights and scripture to help you know and follow Jesus: https://mycpcc.com/guideTo submit a question, send us a DM on Instagram or Facebook.Crosspoint City Church exists to relentlessly pursue those far from God to help them know and follow Jesus.To help support this mission and work, visit https://www.mycpcc.com/giveTo learn more about all of our locations or what is coming up at Crosspoint City, check out https://www.crosspointcity.com/ or follow us on your favorite social platform @CrosspointCity0:00 Intro0:12 Welcome to Act Like Men with Ruslan KD2:00 From Azerbaijan to America: refugee, fatherless, gang life6:08 How growing up without a dad shaped him8:36 From atheist to follower of Jesus11:17 A word for the man who hasn't believed yet15:04 More is caught than taught: walking with a skeptic16:08 Why he fights for the Bride of Christ online20:04 Where the church is most under attack today22:46 How to discern which online voices to trust24:41 Handling the outrage: thick skin, tender hearts25:45 Why he wrote Godly Ambition27:06 The two extremes: all ambition is evil vs. ambition as North Star28:08 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life31:25 Time, talent, and treasure: godly or selfish?36:08 A challenge for the lazy man38:28 A challenge for the prideful man40:53 You're not the main character43:12 Ruslan prays for the men45:14 Closing

What happens when a man builds his whole identity on something God never designed to hold it? In this special episode of The Pursuit, recorded at Act Like Men Conference, James Griffin sits down with College Football Hall of Famer David Pollack to talk about identity, loss, and what's left when everything you built your life on gets stripped away. In his second NFL season, one hit ended it all. Thirteen years into a career at ESPN, it was gone overnight. Then came his wife's brain cancer diagnosis. David is honest about the god football became, the three ways men try to define their identity, and the only one that actually holds.This conversation is a wake-up call for any man who has hung his identity on his career, his abilities, or what other people say about him.

What does it mean to act like men? Pastor Banning pulls from 1 Corinthians 16 to lay out a picture of biblical manhood that goes beyond fatherhood. Men who are awake, standing firm, and carrying courage into every room they walk into. Whether you’re a father, a spiritual father, or growing into it, this message is for you.

The world says masculinity is toxic. God says men are called. In a culture that wants men passive, distracted, and compromised, Scripture issues a different command: Be watchful. Stand firm. Act like men. Be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. This Father's Day, we'll look at the high calling God places on men in 1 Corinthians 16—to guard what matters, stand firm when the pressure comes, take responsibility for the people entrusted to them, and love with the sacrificial strength of Jesus. The enemy is real. The stakes are high. Your family needs you awake at your post.

Most of us don't drift intentionally. It happens slowly through habits we forget to pay attention to.

The conversation gets personal fast as the team unpacks why integrity starts at home, why your wife and kids shouldn't have to guess which version of you is walking through the door, and why being a "good guy" without God is impossible. The team also tackles the loneliness epidemic among men, why most guys can talk about anything except their relationship with the Lord, and what it actually looks like to stop trying harder and start bowing lower.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. We are about to begin our next study in 4 days. We will begin with the book of Hosea. Hosea reveals what happens when strength is disconnected from covenant loyalty. This means it is time to get your next Scripture Journal from our website for this study. If you are a Project23 partner giving $35/month or more, we have already sent this to you by mail. Our shout-out today goes to Matthew Meester from Pullman, WA. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. — 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Paul fires off five rapid commands. Four of them build toward one that is often misunderstood — and often misapplied. "Act like men." Corinth lived in a culture obsessed with status, rhetoric, and public displays of power. Weakness was despised. Honor was everything. But courage in Paul's mind is not posturing. It is perseverance in truth. To "act like men" meant this: hold the line when false teaching pressures you. Endure when culture mocks you. Refuse to bend when doctrine becomes costly. In our time, courage is often redefined as self-expression or ideological conformity. But biblical courage is different. It is steady allegiance to Christ when the cultural winds shift. It is clarity without cruelty. It is conviction without compromise. At the same time, Paul does not let courage drift into harshness. "Let all that you do be done in love." Courage divorced from love becomes theological brutality. Love divorced from courage becomes woke empathy. Christian maturity refuses both extremes. Therefore, to "act like men," in Paul's sense, is to embody resurrection-shaped bravery—rooted in truth, restrained by love. This is what resurrection-shaped courage looks like: Not loud. Not reactive. Not intimidated. Instead steady. Alert. Anchored in Christ. And governed by love. DO THIS: Identify one area where you have softened biblical conviction to avoid tension. Take one concrete step this week to speak or act with clarity and love. ASK THIS: Am I watchful—or drifting? Am I firm in the gospel—or flexible under pressure? Have I confused cultural approval with biblical courage? PRAY THIS: Lord, teach me real courage. Make me steady in truth and gentle in love. Keep me from cowardice on one side and harshness on the other. Shape my bravery after Christ. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Courage"

A sermon from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

In the finale of our Act Like Men series, Pastor Jeremy reminds us that strength without love is failure. Looking at 1 Corinthians 13, we're challenged to ask a deeper question: does love actually define the way we live, lead, and speak? Because at the end of the day, the real test of a man isn't what he accomplishes, it's how he loves the people closest to him.

In part five of Act Like Men, Pastor Jeremy lays out four clear indicators of a strong man — not culture's version, but Christ's: Sabbath, perseverance, humility, and service. Because the real test of strength isn't what you build in this life… it's what they'll say when you're gone.

It's Episode 300!! And our guest is JOBY MARTIN, senior pastor of The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, one of the largest and fastest growing churches in America.

In part four of Act Like Men, Pastor Chris reframed what strength really is. Through the story of Jabez, we saw a man who refused to let pain define him and instead built his life on blessing, presence, and protection through prayer. Because strength isn't proven in what you can lift — it's revealed in what you rely on.

As we continue our series HOME TEAM, Pastor Dustin has a message about what true biblical manhood is. We walk through the charge that Paul gives in 1st Corinthians and learn that biblical manhood is about being aware, standing firm in Christ, being strong, and loving in all things. - Listen to the message here!

In part three of our Act Like Men series, Pastor Jeremy reminded us that men don't drift into strength, they fight for it. We fight for the right foundation, the right identity, and the right atmosphere in our homes. If we're going to stand when it counts, we don't rely on willpower, we put on the armor of God. We dress for battle daily. And we refuse to fight the enemy with timidity.

In week two of our series "Built to Last," we looked at what it means to live out godly manhood. As David prepared Solomon to lead, he showed that real strength is not dominance but obedience to God. Both David and Solomon failed, which reminds us that our hope is not in trying harder, but in Jesus - the better King who obeyed perfectly and loved sacrificially. Because we are rooted in Him, we can be watchful, stand firm, be strong, and do everything in love.

In Part 2 of Act Like Men, Pastor Jeremy pulls back the curtain on a reality most men would rather ignore—we're not just drifting, we're in a fight. This message exposes the subtle ways the enemy works to wear men down, distract them, and pull them off responsibility without ever sounding the alarm. If you've ever felt pressure, resistance, or quiet defeat creeping in, the question isn't if you're in the battle—it's whether you're fighting it the right way.

God created men with responsibility, purpose, and authority—but those were the first things the enemy went after. When we start questioning God's Word, His work, or His worth, things quietly begin to drift in our faith, our relationships, and our work. The real question is this: what does it actually look like to act like a man in a world that keeps redefining it?

In this week's Q&A we answer questions regarding how to reconcile obedience amid fear when the Bible says, “do not fear”.

January 18 2026 - Resolute - Determined to Act Like Men-Sermon by Christian Family Chapel

What does it actually mean to be a man in today's world? In this conversation, Pastor Joby Martin joins Chad Robichaux to confront what they call a growing manhood crisis inside the church and across culture. From biblical masculinity to responsibility, leadership, courage, repentance, and love, this episode challenges the modern caricatures of manhood and calls men back to their God-given role as providers, protectors, servant leaders, and spiritual anchors for their families.Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and real-world leadership, Joby explains why strength and tenderness are not opposites and why passivity rooted in fear is devastating families and communities. Whether you're a man searching for direction or someone who wants to understand how strong men shape healthy families and cultures, this episode delivers truth without compromise.Get the book Stand Firm and Act Like Men: https://a.co/d/9ZA1zoELearn more about Church of Eleven22: https://coe22.comFollow Joby: https://www.instagram.com/jobypmartinRESILIENT:Live Resilient Store: https://shop.theresilientshow.comJoin Our Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowFollow Chad:⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_official⁠https://www.x.com/chadroboChad's Jacket is from: ⁠https://thenormalbrand.com⁠Chad's Jeans are from: ⁠https://devil-dog.com⁠SPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com/⁠Vortex Optics:https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: ⁠https://www.gatorz.com/⁠Allied Wealth:https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: ⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠BioXCellerator:https://www.bioxcellerator.comThe Holy Waters:https://theholywaters.comGet The Resilient Show x Uncharted Supply Co Bag: https://shop.theresilientshow.comSLNT: https://slnt.comTRS is a proud supporter of military & first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.

What if the most life-changing word Jesus ever spoke isn't one we pray, but one we've forgotten how to say? When Jesus called God Abba, He wasn't just using another name—He was revealing the very heart of God. In Week 7 of Stand Firm & Act Like Men, we look at how Jesus' relationship with the Father shapes our own identity as sons and our calling as dads. What would change in your life if you truly knew God as Abba?

What if the love you feel and the love God commands aren't the same thing? Love isn't just a feeling—it's the defining mark of spiritual maturity and the foundation of how men are called to lead. In Week 6 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby teaches through 1 Corinthians 13 in its true context: unity, leadership, and the daily life of the Church. Even the greatest gifts, achievements, strengths, or sacrifices mean nothing without love. Biblical love is patient, kind, humble, forgiving, enduring, and self-sacrificing—a far cry from the self-focused “love” most of us default to. Pastor Joby challenges men to look honestly in the mirror, put away childish ways, and leverage their strength not for self-protection or self-gratification but for the good of others. Because love never quits, and we can only love as God commands when we receive the love He first showed us through Jesus.

What if being a godly husband isn't about how you feel about your wife, but how you love her — even when it costs you everything?  In Week 5 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, we look at Ephesians 5 and what it truly means to be a godly husband. Biblical love isn't based on feelings — it's sacrificial, intentional, and action-driven, modeled after Christ and His love for the church. Whether you're married or preparing for marriage, this message calls men to lead with humility, pursue with purpose, and love like Jesus. Are you willing to love first, love fully, and love sacrificially?

What if strength isn't what you think it is? In Week 4 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin shows how Jesus redefines what it means to be strong. Strength isn't measured by status, control, or success—it's revealed in surrender. A strong man is one who rests in Jesus, perseveres through pain, walks humbly under God's authority, and uses his strength to serve others. When we stop striving for worldly greatness and start depending on Christ, we discover that real strength isn't about power—it's about purpose. When you are weak, He is strong.  So what would it look like for you to become that kind of man?

We are not called to sit on the sidelines—we are called to stand firm. Week 3 of Stand Firm and Act Like Men calls men to rise up and hold the line—not in their own strength, but in the strength of the Lord. The enemy's mission is clear: to steal, kill, and destroy everything and everyone we love. But God has equipped us with truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer—the full armor we need to fight for our families, our marriages, and the next generation. When you stand firm in your faith, you become the gatekeeper of your home and a warrior for God's kingdom. Are you ready to fight for what matters most?

What happens when the defender steps down from the wall? We are at war. Not against flesh and blood—but against an enemy who would love nothing more than to take men out of the fight. In this message, Pastor Joby calls men to be watchful, stand firm in the faith, and act like men as commanded in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14. From pride and worry to laziness, isolation, and lust—the enemy uses every tactic to destroy those called to protect and provide. But even when we fail, the gospel reminds us: failure is not final. God Himself restores, confirms, strengthens, and establishes His sons for the battle ahead. If you've ever felt distracted, defeated, or distant from your calling, this message is a wake-up call to get back on the wall and fight for what matters most—your faith, your family, and your future. Are you watching out, or have you let your guard down?

What happened to godly masculinity? In this powerful kickoff to the Stand Firm and Act Like Men series, Pastor Joby Martin challenges the cultural narrative and calls men back to their God-given purpose. From Genesis to 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we see that manhood isn't about muscles, money, or machismo — it's about being a prophet, priest, king, provider, and protector. God designed men to work with purpose, obey with courage, and love with sacrifice. But sin has distorted that calling, leading to passivity, confusion, and brokenness. This message is a wake-up call to rise up, reject the lies, and return to the design of the Creator. If you've ever wondered what it really means to be a man of God, this sermon is for you. “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13–14
