Who told you what it means to be a man? Culture shouts that your worth comes from money, women, and status—but God says something entirely different. In this episode, we break down Psalm 1 to uncover the biggest lies men are told about identity and where true value is actually found. If you've ever wrestled with who you are, this conversation will show you the difference between being defined by the world and being rooted in God's Word. Want to put this into practice?

The world shouts a thousand different definitions of manhood. Some say it's about how much money you make. Others say it's about how strong you are, how tough you act, or how many people you can control. But if you strip away the noise, what's left? God's whisper tells a very different story. True manhood isn't measured by outward success—it's revealed in the hidden places of justice, kindness, and humility. Today we're asking: What truly defines a godly man?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” — Micah 6:8 (ESV)Micah lays it out as plain as day. A godly man isn't first known by his strength, achievements, or titles. He's known by his obedience to God's call in three simple yet powerful ways.Do justice. This means living with integrity. Not cutting corners. Not exploiting others. It's standing firm for what is right, even when it costs you respect, money, or comfort. A man of God makes decisions rooted in truth, not convenience.Love kindness. Too many mistake cruelty for strength. But biblical manhood is marked by compassion. A godly man uses his strength to protect, not to intimidate. He forgives when it's easier to hold a grudge. He shows mercy when others want revenge. Strength without kindness is just brutality—but strength wrapped in kindness is Christlike.Walk humbly with your God. This is the anchor of everything else. Humility is not weakness—it's power under submission. A man who walks with God knows he isn't the ultimate authority. He's a servant under the true King. The culture may celebrate arrogance, but God celebrates humility.Here's the truth, Brother: the world crowns men based on trophies. God crowns men based on obedience. And when you choose justice, kindness, and humility, you're living out heaven's definition of masculinity.Question of the Day:What is shaping your definition of manhood today—the culture around you or the Word of God within you?Mini Call to Action:Write down Micah 6:8 on a card or in your phone. Read it three times today and let it reshape the standard you measure yourself by.Prayer:Lord, teach me to be a man after Your heart. Help me to act with justice, to love with kindness, and to walk humbly in step with You. Strip away the false images of manhood I've believed, and rebuild me into the man You've called me to be.Let's Get To Work!A godly man isn't made by the culture's applause but by heaven's approval.

Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman shows us that He offers living water, eternal life that satisfies the deepest thirst of our souls. Just as He exposed her brokenness to bring healing, Christ calls us to wholeness and transformation in Him. God's Word also gives us a vision for godly men and women, marked by prayer, love for Scripture, integrity, honor, sacrifice, and quiet confidence in the Lord. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy reminds us that healthy marriages and families flow out of Christlike character and the living water only He can give.
Pastor Christian Powell preaches to the Faith Church congregation on Sunday morning, September 21, 2025. His message is titled "Help Lord, The Godly Man Ceases!" and it comes from Psalm 12:1.
In this week's episode of The Uncrowned Podcast, host Joe Buttice breaks down the three traits of a Godly man—Priest, Provider, Protector—and why Christian masculinity means more than titles. It's a God-first lifestyle: setting the spiritual temperature at home, providing more than money (time, presence, and spiritual formation), and protecting emotionally so your wife and family feel safe to speak truth without fear. Expect Bible-backed principles, short parables, and real-world application for both husbands and single men. If you're ready to stop drifting and start leading with intention, this is your roadmap. You'll learn: What spiritual leadership looks like day-to-day (simple rhythms of prayer, Scripture, and worship). Why provision is more than a paycheck (church, friendships, family worship, and presence). How true protection includes emotional safety, calm tone, and patient listening. A 7-day challenge to live out Priest • Provider • Protector right now. Scripture used (ESV/NKJV): Genesis 18:19 • Deuteronomy 6:7 • Joshua 24:15 • 1 Timothy 5:8 • Luke 5:16 • Ephesians 5:25 • James 1:19 • Colossians 3:19 • 1 Peter 3:7 • Proverbs 15:1 Please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to the podcast so we can reach as many men as possible!

Truth has become confusing at best or a matter of interpretation at worst. Deception is the order of the day in our world today. In Psalm 12, David finds himself surrounded by deception.

In today's world, manhood is under attack, and fatherhood is often mocked or neglected. However, the Bible still honors the role of a godly man, especially the influence of a godly father. Proverbs 20:7 provides a foundational truth for Father's Day: a just man who walks in integrity leaves a lasting legacy.
Bottom line: A godly man does a very few important things that make a very big difference.

A godly man is marked by what he flees from, follows after, fights for, and is faithful to. A godly man is motivated by the person of God Himself -- the power, promise, blessedness, sovereignty, immortality, and radiance of God.

In the last of our 3 part series, we focus on the function of leadership and God's design for men to lead. We contrast this with the default thinking of leadership being superior and instead look at the model Jesus provides for leadership.We talk about the beliefs and mindset, practical application, and skills needed so you can understand who God has made you to be. We also look at specific scenarios where leadership is more challenging as well as the part a leader plays to enable others to play their part at the highest level.If you want more on Leadership, we did a 3 part series just on leadership:Click here to start that series where we focus on self leadership.Click here to leave us a review on Spotify.Click here to leave us a review on Apple podcasts.Support The Impossible Life & Get Additional Insider Content by clicking here.GET IN TOUCHAdvertise on the podcast by clicking here.

In part 2, we get into specific functions of a Godly man with the focus being seed sowing and weight bearing. As a man, you're made to work and carry weight according to God's design. This is in sharp contrast to a society where retiring early is "living the dream". We go into the specific beliefs needed for this, the rewards, what you must do, and the price of not bearing weight. We also look at the function of seed sowing for men. Far more than sowing a physical seed for reproduction or farming, this is an understanding of what it looks like to live transformationally.We cover what it is, how to use discernment and wisdom to sow great seed and the importance of alignments among many other things.Click here to leave us a review on Spotify.Click here to leave us a review on Apple podcasts.Support The Impossible Life & Get Additional Insider Content by clicking here.GET IN TOUCHAdvertise on the podcast by clicking here.
