What if the biggest problem facing men today isn't a lack of discipline, ambition, or opportunity?   What if it's that most men don't actually know who they are?   In this episode of The Super Human Life, Frank Rich sits down with Tim Couet, author of Identity Assignment, to unpack why so many men are winning externally while still feeling lost internally.   Tim believes two issues sit underneath much of the chaos men experience today: Identity and priorities.   Rather than building your identity around career, money, status, performance, or achievement, Tim argues that a man's identity has already been assigned by God.   Using Genesis 2:15 as the foundation, Tim explains why the biblical assignment of man can be summarized in two words: Serve. Protect.   From there, Frank and Tim explore what happens when a man begins living from that identity—and what happens when his priorities fall out of alignment.   They discuss marriage, fatherhood, work, lust, pornography, achievement, the modern church, the loss of initiation into manhood, and why the thing many men are ultimately chasing may not actually be more success.   It may be peace.     In This Episode, You'll Learn Why identity and priorities are two of the biggest issues facing men today   Why men often confuse what they do with who they are   What Genesis 2:15 reveals about the assignment of men   Why Tim believes men are called to serve and protect   How work quietly becomes the highest priority for many men   Why trust in marriage is rebuilt through evidence and consistency   How identity can change a man's relationship with lust and women   Why you cannot simply achieve your way out of internal struggles   The difference between being a biological male and becoming a mature man   Where the modern church may be falling short in developing men   Why young men need intentional initiation into adulthood   Why many men are chasing achievement when what they really want is peace   How this framework applies to married men, single men, fathers, and men rebuilding their lives   Why Jesus is the ultimate example of both a servant and protector     About Tim Couet Tim Couet is the author of Identity Assignment and founder of Prodigal Man, a ministry focused on helping men understand their identity in Christ and become the leaders God has called them to be.   He also hosts Altar'd Manhood and Mentoring Christian Men Worldwide.   Tim and his wife, Mettina, have been married for more than 17 years and have four children. He currently serves as the Chief Deputy Tax Collector of Pasco County, Florida and is actively involved in men's ministry at Grace Family Church.   Resources Identity Assignment — Tim Couet Available on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3B6TLL3/?bestFormat=true&k=identity%20assignment   Altar'd Manhood Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8eR00lwKHlNck4sBbRbclA   Final Question After listening, ask yourself: Do my actions reflect the man I say I am—and are my priorities actually in the right order?   -- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

What does it mean to be a godly man in today's culture? And how should Christian men understand masculinity, marriage, fatherhood, leadership, and their identity in Christ?In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul D. Weaver sits down with Paul Pettit, author of A Courageous Identity: Accepting the Call of Christ-Centered Masculinity, to discuss what biblical manhood looks like and how Christian men can pursue Christ-centered masculinity in a culture with competing visions of what it means to be a man.Dr. Pettit draws from Scripture, his years of mentoring young men, his work with fathers and husbands, and his experience teaching seminary students to explain why biblical masculinity is not about domination, passivity, or perfection—but about servant leadership, responsibility, courage, sacrifice, and Christlikeness.Together, they discuss:What Christ-centered masculinity actually meansThe difference between biblical masculinity and the world's competing views of manhoodHow Christian men should think about authority and servant leadershipWhy husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the churchBiblical roles and responsibilities within marriage and the familyWhy men must reject passivity and accept responsibilityHow fathers can model godly leadership for their sons and daughtersWhy becoming a godly man is about daily progress rather than perfectionThe importance of spiritual habits, Scripture, worship, and consistent investment in familyWhat biblical courage looks like in a culture increasingly opposed to Christian convictionsCommon struggles facing young men, including loneliness, pornography, drinking, vaping, and online gamblingHow men can overcome destructive patterns and unhealthy models of manhoodWhy it's never too late to become a better husband or fatherBreaking unhealthy generational patterns and leaving a better legacyWhy Christian men need brotherhood, mentorship, and accountabilityThe importance of having a "Paul," a "Barnabas," and a "Timothy" in our livesRather than pursuing perfection, Pettit encourages men to pursue Christlikeness—growing through daily habits, dependence on Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, God's Word, and relationships with other believers.Whether you're a husband, father, young man, pastor, mentor, or someone seeking to better understand biblical manhood and Christian masculinity, this conversation offers a practical and Scripture-centered framework for thinking about what it means to live as a man of courage and conviction.Dynamic Dadshttps://dynamicdads.org/ Dynamic Dads is a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Paul Pettit that equips and encourages fathers to become more intentional, involved, and Christ-centered leaders in their homes.

Most good Christian men die with the calling still inside them. Not through a dramatic fall, but one safe, reasonable decision to wait at a time. In this video I break down the three ways good men die short of their calling: the lie that sounds like faith, the readiness trap, and the root belief underneath both, plus what it actually takes to move before it's too late.This is not about hype or hustle. It's about the quiet ache you've carried for years, and why it's still there.Get the free guide, the 3 lies that keep good Christian men stuck and small (including the one underneath a buried calling): https://www.standard59.com/free Subscribe for more.

Christian men weren't meant to navigate work, leadership, temptation, and faith alone.In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Rob Stoddard sits down with Matt Trayler of CBMC (Christian Business Men's Connection) to talk about what it looks like for men to live out their Christian faith in the workplace—and why discipleship, mentorship, and authentic community matter so much.Matt explains how CBMC helps Christian businessmen, young professionals, executives, and other leaders discover a purpose that goes beyond a paycheck or job title.

Statistically, if you're a Christian man, you've struggled with pornography — and statistically, you've never told a single person. Today I want to talk about why that silence, not the struggle itself, is what's actually destroying you.We've been told the answer is more willpower. Try harder. Pray harder. Feel guilty next time. But if that worked, you wouldn't still be stuck. A Barna study found nearly 7 out of 10 men sitting in church pews every Sunday are struggling with pornography — and many pastors are too. You are not alone, and willpower alone fails against secrecy every time.In this video I break down:✅ Why secrecy — not weakness — is why you keep losing this fight✅ What 1 John 1:7 actually means for men stuck in this cycle✅ The one move that changes the trajectory (it's not another promise to yourself)✅ Why Romans 8:1 says there's no condemnation for you TODAY, not "once you're fixed"I work at a company that exists to help men win this fight, and I've sat with more of these stories than almost anyone you know. Here's the pattern: the men who get free aren't the ones who feel the worst about it — they're the ones who stop hiding it the moment one person really knows.This is part of an ongoing series on porn addiction, shame, and freedom for Christian men.

A lot of Christian Men Are SoftA lot of Christian Men Are Soft, And the Bible doesn't teachthat. Prayer without action is not faith. It's complacency. We break down Noah, Joseph, and Nehemiah, expose the soft teaching that's leaving families exposed, and lay out the real tools every man needs: PACE planning, an understanding of the nine pillars of preparedness, situational awareness, and faith that actually protects.#faith #courage #trust #God #preparedness

Why should Christian men spend time in God's Word? Because the Bible isn't just information, it's transformation. Scripture corrects us when we're off track, Convicts us when we're drifting into sin. comforts us when life gets heavy And strengthens us for the battles we face every day. Even Jesus leaned on the scriptures when tempted by Satan. And if the Son of God depended on scripture, how much more do we? If you want to know God more deeply, grow in maturity, and stand firm in faith, you need to be rooted in his Word.CONNECT HERE

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Will Knecht, founder of More the Man, a rapidly growing Christian newsletter reaching tens of thousands of men each week, to discuss what it truly means to become a Christlike man in today's world. Will shares his powerful testimony of how God transformed his life through financial hardship, divorce, and personal brokenness, ultimately calling him to write words of encouragement and biblical truth despite his own insecurities. Together, they explore the importance of authentic biblical masculinity, cultivating meaningful brotherhood, developing sustainable spiritual disciplines through every season of life, and creating safe spaces where men can openly discuss struggles such as pornography without shame. They also examine why faithfulness in the sphere God has entrusted to you matters more than worldly success and how humility, vulnerability, and consistent time with God produce lasting spiritual growth. Whether you're seeking deeper intimacy with Christ, stronger relationships with other men, or practical encouragement to live out your faith, this conversation offers timeless wisdom for becoming the man God created you to be.

https://youtu.be/J46mo1hbdOw https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/July-25th.mp3 Stop the Silent Fight There is a silent but devastating epidemic actively destroying the peace of men across this country, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the economy, their jobs, or their bank accounts directly. The crisis is happening inside their own chests, in the three a.m. silence of a bedroom ceiling, in the tight knot that shows up the second the kids start yelling and the bills start piling up. Far too many men are performing calm instead of pursuing peace. We hear the exact same exhausted sentiment from men all over the country: "I feel this constant knot in my chest, my mind racing about money, the kids, the future, but guys are supposed to have it all together." They are physically present at the dinner table, but internally they are somewhere else entirely, running numbers and rehearsing disasters that have not happened yet. Most of these men have never once been shown the biblical way to deal with anxiety — only told to stop feeling it. The modern definition of manhood has tricked men into abandoning the true biblical way to deal with anxiety. We have been sold a massive lie that our primary duty is to appear unshakable, to be the rock, to never let them see us sweat. For generations, men have mistakenly assumed that strength meant the total absence of fear. While composure under pressure is a real and valuable trait, it is only the baseline requirement, not the finish line. To fully grasp the biblical way to deal with anxiety, we have to aggressively look past the performance and peer directly into the posture of our hearts before God. The Performance Armor Trap Every man reading this has worn the armor at some point. You smile at church, answer "good, just busy" when someone asks how you are doing, and go home to lie awake calculating a future you have zero control over. This is the Performance Armor Trap, and it is one of the most common ways men avoid the biblical way to deal with anxiety altogether. The armor tells you that anxiety is weakness, that admitting the panic in your chest makes you less of a husband, less of a father, less of a man. So instead of dealing with it, you bury it, and buried things do not die. They metastasize into sleepless nights, short tempers, and a slow erosion of the joy you were actually called to walk in. The tragedy is that the armor does not even work. It just moves the cost somewhere else. The husband who cannot admit he is drowning in a newborn's colic and his wife's postpartum depression still carries the weight; he just carries it alone, at 2 a.m., convinced his stress does not count because someone else's suffering looks worse. The biblical way to deal with anxiety starts by taking the armor off, not by upgrading it. Learning the biblical way to deal with anxiety begins with that single admission, long before it ever produces a feeling of calm. You were never designed to carry that weight in isolation, and the sooner a man admits that, the sooner real change becomes possible. Control Versus Surrender: The General Manager Delusion Here is a harsh but necessary truth about anxiety: it spikes hardest in the exact moment you try to play General Manager of the Universe. You wake up and mentally start assigning tasks to God, to your spouse, to your kids, to the economy, as if you are the one holding the org chart together. The moment reality refuses to follow your plan, the anxiety floods in, because the anxiety was never really about the circumstance. It was about the delusion that you were in control of the circumstance to begin with. The biblical way to deal with anxiety requires you to admit something deeply uncomfortable: you cannot control half the things you attempt in a single day, let alone the trajectory of your entire life. Scripture does not tiptoe around this. Defining the biblical way to deal with anxiety requires us to look directly at Philippians 4:6-7, which states: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Notice that the text does not say "don't be anxious" and stop there, as if willpower alone could flip the switch. It gives you an active alternative: prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving. The peace described here is not the absence of a hard circumstance. It is a guard stationed over your heart and mind while the hard circumstance is still very much in progress. Prayer in the Trenches: Exposing the Dark This is where most men quietly check out. Prayer for anxiety sounds simple in a sermon and feels nearly impossible at midnight when your mind will not stop replaying the diagnosis, the layoff, or the fight you had with your teenager. But the biblical way to deal with anxiety is not a one-time transaction where you drop your fear off at the altar and pick it back up on your way out the door. Too many men treat prayer for anxiety like a formality: "Just wanted to show you, Lord, that I have reason to be anxious. I'll take this back with me now." That is not surrender. That is still trying to run the org chart, just with a religious coat of paint on it. Real prayer for anxiety means leaving the weight at the altar and actually walking away lighter, even when nothing about the situation has changed yet. It means naming the fear out loud instead of letting it circle silently in your head. There is a spiritual and even neurological power in taking anxiety out of the isolation of your own mind and putting words to it, whether that is on your knees, in a journal, or across a table with another man who will not flinch at what you say. Isolation feeds anxiety. Confession starves it. The biblical way to deal with anxiety has always run through exposure, not suppression, and that exposure starts the moment you stop editing your prayers for an audience. Christian Men and Anxiety: Breaking the Silence Trap Christian men and anxiety have an uncomfortable relationship inside the modern church. Mental health carried a stigma for the previous generation, where "therapy" meant a stiff drink and gritted teeth, and it carries a different but equally dangerous stigma now, where admitting fear can feel like admitting spiritual failure. Recent Pew Research Center survey data found that men's self-image is still heavily shaped by an ideal of toughness and self-reliance, with older generations of men far more likely to describe themselves as "highly masculine" in the stoic, unshakable sense. That inherited definition leaves little room for a man to say, "I am scared, and I do not know how to fix this." The cost of that silence is not abstract. Published research on men and anxiety has repeatedly shown that rigid conformity to emotional self-reliance is associated with higher rates of anxiety, not lower, along with a much lower willingness to seek help when it is needed most. Christian men and anxiety will keep colliding in silence as long as the church quietly rewards stoicism and punishes honesty. Breaking that pattern is not weakness; it is the actual biblical way to deal with anxiety modeled throughout Scripture, where men like David, Elijah, and Paul wrote their fear down in plain language instead of hiding it behind a performance. Every generation of Christian men and anxiety intersecting in silence is a generation that skipped this step. The Power of Community: Bringing It Into the Light There is real power in a room full of men who stop pretending. When one man finally admits he is drowning, whether from a health crisis in the family, a business that will not stop bleeding money, or a grief that stacked up faster than he could process it, something shifts in the room. Other men exhale. They realize they are not the only one hanging on by Philippians 4:6-7 and a prayer, and permission spreads. This is the biblical way to deal with anxiety functioning exactly as designed: not privatized, but carried in community, the way the body of Christ was always meant to operate. This does not mean every man needs a diagnosis or a support group to talk about stress. It means normalizing the conversation before the crisis hits. A short, honest text to a friend. A men's group that asks real questions instead of surface-level ones. A willingness to say "pray for me, I am struggling" instead of "doing great, just busy." The biblical way to deal with anxiety is not a solo project, and community is not a nice supplement to it; community is one of the primary tools God actually uses to deliver the peace Philippians 4 promises. Any honest look at the biblical way to deal with anxiety has to include other people, because isolation was never the design. Taking Immediate Action Today The biblical way to deal with anxiety is not a passive belief you hold; it is an active, daily pursuit that requires real intentionality. You cannot undo the stress that already piled up this year, but you can absolutely change the trajectory of how you carry the next one starting today. Reclaiming peace starts with a single, highly intentional decision to stop performing and start praying out loud about the specific thing keeping you up at night. Here is your immediate, non-negotiable action step for this week, the single most practical piece of the biblical way to deal with anxiety you will read today: sit down, name the exact source of your anxiety in one sentence, and say it out loud to God and to one other man before Sunday. Not a vague "pray for my stress." The actual thing. The diagnosis. The account balance. The marriage that feels distant. Do not minimize it because someone else's problem looks bigger. Do not rehearse it silently for another week and call that faith. Simply name it and speak it. Whether the answer that comes back is peace,...

Todd sits down with Dr. John Crotts to discuss why so many Christian men struggle to grow up spiritually, what biblical manhood really looks like, and how the gospel gives lasting hope to weary believers. Segment 1 • Why do so many Christian men drift through life instead of pursuing godliness? • What does biblical manhood actually look like—and where does it begin? • How can living with eternity in view completely change the way you live today? • Why is wisdom more than just knowing the right answers? Segment 2 • What does it really mean for a husband to lead his family biblically? • How can Christian men take responsibility without becoming controlling or domineering? • What habits separate spiritually mature men from those who stay stuck? • Why is receiving correction one of the clearest marks of biblical maturity? Segment 3 • Why do faithful Christians often lose hope—even when they know the truth? • What is biblical hope, and why is it far more than positive thinking? • How can God's promises steady your heart during seasons of suffering and discouragement? • Why is meditating on God's character essential for lasting joy? Segment 4 • What does biblical meditation look like, and how can it transform your daily walk with Christ? • What should you do when you feel like you've failed God one too many times? • Can God's grace become an excuse for sin, or does it actually fuel holiness? • How do you fight feelings that God has abandoned you? ___ Thanks for listening!

Are you spiritually numb, emotionally tired, or quietly drifting while still looking responsible on the outside? In this powerful Christian men's teaching, Tim Holloway exposes how men often use work, food, entertainment, porn, alcohol, substances, ministry, busyness, achievement, and even religious performance to avoid pain, stress, shame, loneliness, disappointment, and the deeper condition of the heart. This message is for Christian men, husbands, fathers, leaders, business owners, ministry leaders, and men who feel disconnected from God, their marriage, their family, their body, and their mission. You may not be in open rebellion, but you may be lukewarm, passive, distracted, emotionally absent, and comfortably numb. Like the church in Revelation 3, everything may look successful on the outside while something inside is spiritually poor, blind, exposed, and in need of healing. God is not trying to shame you. He is trying to wake you up. This episode helps you identify your numbing habits, face what you have been avoiding, and begin the journey toward awareness, soul restoration, spiritual clarity, emotional healing, and real peace in Christ. You'll learn how numbness often hides behind socially acceptable habits like productivity, comfort food, sports, YouTube, Netflix, scrolling, ministry, and constant responsibility. You'll discover why Christian men can confuse busyness with fruitfulness, performance with maturity, and emotional avoidance with peace. You'll see how the story of Eli reveals the danger of passivity, compromise, and refusing to confront what God has already brought to your awareness. You'll be challenged to examine your marriage, family, body, business, leadership, and relationship with God to see where comfort has become a hiding place. 00:00 Intro: Being comfortably numb02:00 Why this message matters04:15 Avoidance through performance05:48 Facing your self-protection strategies06:21 Revelation 3 and lukewarm faith07:36 The danger of the comfort zone09:48 God loves you too much to leave you numb10:15 Eli: a leader who saw dysfunction but stayed passive12:41 Compromise inside the family15:21 Losing sensitivity while looking normal18:29 What you tolerate privately comes out publicly18:43 Work as the most acceptable drug20:20 Food, comfort eating, and Christian culture23:55 Entertainment as escape25:15 Porn as sexual escape and self-soothing28:29 Alcohol, weed, pills, and socially acceptable numbing30:38 Busyness, responsibility, and the need to be needed31:31 Ministry and spiritual performance as hiding places33:38 Anger, fitness, achievement, and status34:57 What are you trying not to feel?37:30 Numbing is a symptom, not the root problem39:19 Why feelings may feel unsafe41:09 Jesus never confused busyness with fruitfulness42:02 God wakes up the numb man43:21 When leaders fail because formation is missing47:59 Where numbness shows up in your life50:23 Real peace versus numbness52:14 What have you relied on instead of God? #ChristianMen#SpiritualGrowth#EmotionalHealing#MensMinistry#ChristianLeadership Learn more about your ad choices.

The definition of manhood is being rewritten in real time—socially, culturally, and spiritually. A growing divide is forming between modern ideas of masculinity and the biblical standard that once shaped generations. Mike Slater and Pastor Joby Martin explore identity, responsibility, and what it truly means to be a man today.

Can you follow Jesus without being part of a local church?  In this 'Average Joe' conversation, Jim Ramos sits down with longtime friend Ben Sullivan to tackle this tough topic head-on. By defining what the church truly is and digging into Scripture, they separate tradition from biblical truth and answer one of the most common questions men wrestle with today.

Most men have been handed two lies: that you're the problem — toxic, broken, too much — or that you're fine just for showing up. Neither is true. In this episode, Mike Stone breaks down what God actually calls men to: not dominance, not passivity, but presence. Using Proverbs 24:16, the lives of King David and Peter, we unpack why God doesn't disqualify men for falling — only for staying down. If you've ever told yourself it's too late for your marriage, your kids, or your faith, this is your wake-up call.What you'll learn in this episode:• Why Proverbs 24:16 redefines what a "righteous man" actually is• How David and Peter prove failure was never disqualifying• The real difference between a man who's checked out and a man who's present• A practical charge: pray, lead through sacrifice, own your failures out loud, and show upChapters:0:00 – This Message Is for the Real You0:26 – The Lie Men Were Sold0:56 – God's Actual Design for Men1:23 – Why We Checked Out (and Who Pays for It)1:54 – Proverbs 24:16: Falling Isn't Failing2:30 – David & Peter: Disqualified for Staying Down, Not Falling2:58 – It's Not Too Late3:23 – The Charge: Pray, Lead, Own It, Show Up4:22 – Rise. Lead. Love. Repeat.Common questions this video answers:- What does Proverbs 24:16 mean? It means a righteous man isn't someone who never falls — he's someone who keeps rising. The verse measures faithfulness by perseverance, not a perfect record.- What makes someone "a man after God's own heart"? Scripture's clearest example is King David — an adulterer and murderer God still called by that name, not because his sin didn't matter, but because he kept returning to God after he fell.- Did Peter's denial of Jesus disqualify him? No — Jesus called Peter "the rock" after Peter denied him three times. God's calling on a man isn't revoked by his failure; it's revoked by refusing to get back up.- What does it practically look like to lead as a Christian man?Praying like it matters, leading through sacrifice instead of demands, owning failures out loud to your family, and simply showing up — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.If this hit you right where you are, subscribe to Truth Behind the Mike for more straight-talk, Scripture-rooted teaching for men who are done with the performance and ready for the real thing.#ManAfterGodsHeart #ChristianMen #GodlyMan #BiblicalManhood #KingDavid #ChristianMotivation #MensMinistry #TruthBehindTheMikeSend us Fan MailSupport the showWatch these podcasts on YouTube!Follow Us!YouTube: @behindthemikepodcastInstagram: @behindthemikepodcastTikTok:  @behind_the_mike_podcastFacebook:  @behindthemikepodcast

What happens when the church stays silent about pornography, sexual brokenness, shame, and identity struggles?In this powerful Covenant Eyes Podcast episode recorded live at NRB 2026 in Nashville, Rob Stoddard sits down with Garry Ingraham, pastor and founder of Love and Truth Network, to discuss pornography addiction, same-sex attraction, healing from trauma, spiritual warfare, and how churches can become safe places for restoration.Garry shares his deeply personal testimony of early exposure to pornography, years of struggle, leaving the faith, entering the LGBT lifestyle, and ultimately finding freedom and healing through Jesus Christ and authentic Christian community.This conversation also tackles:• Porn addiction in the church• Why pastors feel unequipped• Sexual brokenness among men and women• Healing childhood wounds• Shame, secrecy, and accountability• Creating safe churches for recovery• Protecting teens from pornography• Covenant Eyes and accountability tools• Biblical truth AND compassionIf you or someone you know is struggling with pornography, shame, unwanted sexual behavior, or identity confusion, this episode offers hope, healing, and practical encouragement.

This is the first of two Father's Day messages from the MTN church. Steve Beason shares a personal and honest reflection on God's design for men, fathers, and husbands. Through Scripture, life experience, and years of men's ministry, Steve challenges men not simply to provide or protect, but to become a “portal” of God's love into their families—reflecting the heart of Jesus through humility, faithfulness, and intentional love. This message invites men to say yes to God's shaping work and to lead their homes with the kind of love that helps others understand the Father's love more clearly.

Establishing & Leaving Generational Blessings is the second Father's Day message from the MTN Church. Jim Davis is continuing the conversation on God's design for family, legacy, and faithfulness. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other Scriptures, Jim challenges listeners to think beyond the present and consider what their faith will leave behind for future generations. This message encourages men, fathers, and families to build a legacy of blessing through personal surrender, daily faithfulness, forgiveness, intentional values, life-giving words, and a close walk with Jesus—choosing to become a river of God's blessing rather than a dead end.

Why Men Feel Lost (And How to Find Direction) Masculinity has become a moving target. One day you're told male strength is the problem, the next you're told you're failing unless you look like a superhero and never show emotion. We sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Jacob Sedan and Deacon Anthony from St. Anthony the Great Antiochian Orthodox Church to clear the fog and name what healthy masculinity actually requires: responsibility, accountability, integrity, and a life rooted in Christ rather than image.We get concrete about what men miss when “I work and pay the bills” becomes the whole definition of fatherhood. We talk about the power of example, how hypocrisy teaches louder than lectures, and why emotions are not the enemy. From a clinical perspective, Jacob breaks down the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and what it looks like when men swing to extremes, either suppressing everything until it explodes or expressing everything in ways that make relationships feel unsafe.Then we go straight at the pain point for a lot of young men: dating. We unpack fear of rejection, the trap of wearing a persona, and why authenticity and consistency create real safety. We also share practical frameworks for men who did not have strong role models, including building an “internal board of advisors” from faithful men, saints, and mentors. We close with boundaries that protect marriage, including a hard truth many couples learn late: your spouse cannot be your therapist.If you want a Christ-centered roadmap for modern manhood, press play, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the series.

The world desperately needs men who lead with humility, integrity, and genuine faith in God. In this episode, A Faith Worth Following (Fathers Who Lead Well), we explore what biblical leadership truly looks like and why the greatest legacy a father can leave is a life that points others toward Christ.

Are you truly content… or have you learned how to call fear “contentment”?A lot of Christian men are not stuck because they hate God.They are stuck because they have learned how to give their passivity spiritual language.They call it peace.They call it wisdom.They call it waiting on God.They call it contentment.But sometimes it is not biblical contentment.Sometimes it is fear.Sometimes it is comfort.Sometimes it is avoidance.Sometimes it is a man burying his gift, discipline, leadership, responsibility, and calling… then calling the burial site “peace.”In this video, we break down the difference between biblical contentment and complacency, why holy ambition is not the same as selfish ambition, and how fear can cause Christian men to bury what God entrusted to them.Christ is enough, so you do not have to strive.But Christ is Lord, so you do not get to hide.We will look at Philippians 4, Matthew 25, and the parable of the talents to ask one uncomfortable but necessary question:Where have you been calling fear contentment?If this video speaks to you, comment below with one faithful step God is calling you to take.Not ten steps.Not a whole life overhaul.One act of obedience.Join the Better Than Best Brotherhood and take this from content you consume into formation you live out: https://www.skool.com/better-than-best-academy-5909/aboutCHAPTERS:00:00 Fear Posing as Contentment02:09 Contentment vs Complacency03:43 Red's Story and Dormancy04:42 What Real Contentment Is07:57 Holy Ambition and Lordship09:00 Parable of the Talents11:44 Ambition Redeemed as Stewardship13:29 Name It and Take One Step15:26 Closing Prayer and Next StepsWHO AM IHey, I'm Red Wallace, a former rapper(10 year career) current drummer turned personal development coach.

A thousand times a year, someone sits across the table from Jeremy Stalnecker and says: "I've tried everything. If this doesn't work, I'm not going to make it." How is a gentle and lowly Jesus the answer to that? Dane Ortlund, pastor of Naperville Presbyterian and author of the runaway evangelical bestseller Gentle and Lowly, sits down with Jeremy to break down the Jesus most Christian men have never been taught. The Jesus who, as Spurgeon noted, only once told us what was in his own heart. The Jesus whose default is mercy and whose anger always requires provocation. The Jesus with nail-scarred arms who, according to 1 Corinthians 12, feels your trauma more acutely than you do. This is one of the most theologically rich conversations on the channel - anchored in Matthew 11:28-30, with stops in Hebrews 1, John 14, Exodus 34, and 1 Corinthians 12. If you've ever pictured Jesus as a watered-down, decaffeinated, domesticated version of God, this conversation will reset that picture.

Why do Christian men often know what is right, but still fail to live it out when pressure hits? In this episode of Leadership Formation for Christian Men, Tim Holloway unpacks why pressure reveals the man being formed, why spiritual knowledge alone is not enough, and how God uses stress, relationships, emotions, business challenges, marriage tension, and personal pain to expose the gap between what a man knows and who he has become. If you have ever wondered why your Christianity feels like it is not “working,” why you keep reacting the same way under pressure, why you struggle with anger, control, avoidance, numbing, fear, or emotional shutdown, this conversation will help you see pressure differently. Pressure is not always something to escape. It may be the very place where God is speaking, refining, and forming Christ in you. This episode is for Christian men, husbands, fathers, leaders, entrepreneurs, and believers who want deeper spiritual formation, emotional maturity, stronger leadership, and a more surrendered life with God. You'll learn why pressure reveals the difference between biblical knowledge and true spiritual formation, and why knowing Scripture is not the same as allowing Scripture to read and transform you. Tim explains how God speaks through your real life, including marriage, family, business, emotions, weakness, conflict, fear, and repeated patterns that keep showing up under pressure. You'll discover why avoidance, numbing, control, anger, defensiveness, and performance mode often come from old programming—and how God uses pressure to bring those hidden patterns into the light. This episode also shows how Christian men can begin responding to pressure with surrender, reflection, wisdom, and emotional maturity instead of reacting from fear, shame, or control. 00:00 Intro00:45 Why Christian men know what to do but still struggle02:19 Why Christianity can feel like it is not working03:15 God comes disguised as your life05:25 Pressure reveals where formation has not caught up07:17 Pressure is a revealer, not the enemy09:01 Why avoiding pain keeps you stuck10:49 How pressure brings hidden patterns into awareness12:48 Why men know better but still react poorly14:00 Letting Scripture read you, not just reading Scripture15:38 Where God speaks through love, family, and business18:38 God meets men inside their emotions20:11 The two builders and the test of integration22:09 Why pressure forms spiritual strength24:55 Becoming a leader who can stand under pressure25:13 The war horse analogy: God as rider, man as horse26:56 How pressure reveals anger, fear, and control28:29 Pressure reveals your patterns29:45 Childhood programming and emotional reactions31:53 Why control and defensiveness show up under pressure33:37 Questions to ask when pressure hits34:26 Where pressure is showing up in your life36:08 How God meets men in weakness and deficiency38:05 Why personal formation affects leadership and business40:34 Deal with pressure privately before it becomes public42:26 Pressure reveals what a man knows vs. who he has become43:26 Why men struggle to hear God's voice45:11 Formation happens by beholding God #ChristianMen#SpiritualFormation#ChristianLeadership#MensMinistry#BiblicalManhood Learn more about your ad choices.
