"In this solo episode, host Terry Gwaltney tackles a question most men never stop to ask themselves: who are you when the job, the title, the role, or the reputation you've built your identity around gets stripped away? Through the story of a successful businessman who lost it all, along with illustrations from Florence Chadwick's famous swim and Alfred Nobel's obituary, Terry unpacks how isolation, pride, and performance-based identity set men up for a fall — and how failure is an event, not an identity. Drawing from Ephesians 2:10 and Romans 8:1, he challenges men to stop performing their way into worth and instead let a secure identity in Christ produce the action. The episode closes with a call to find a "corner man," get honest about past failure, and use that story to bring hope to someone else still stuck in it — plus an invite to the October Man Up Adventure Camp.Ready to go deeper?

Georgia & Kelsey get right into it this week.Kelsey's partner Will's about to become a dad for the first time: and he's walking into it the hard way.Kelsey raised Bodhi's baby years almost entirely alone, so this time feels completely different: parenting as a two. But she reckons Will's had it tough: plonked in at the deep end with a five and seven-year-old, made to "man up" fast, and now rewinding all the way back to a newborn he's never experienced. She's bracing for the arguments, the emotions, and Bodhi already insisting he's still the baby.Then there's Cooper's big school shake-up. New class, new year, friends split up and reshuffled. Cooper came skipping out (mostly because the kid who wasn't nice to him got moved), and the mum group chat descended into chaos when Danny accidentally added himself to the wrong one.Plus, this week's Mum's The Word Top Fives: the things your own mum and dad do that wind you up.The "he ate all his potatoes" fib no grandparent will ever admit toInsisting you were the perfect baby while your kid is apparently impossibleRetired parents somehow being busier than you'll ever beGrab a cuppa.

Tim Carney is back for round two, and this conversation goes even deeper into his book Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be. Tim is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he researches civil society, family, localism, religion in America, and economic policy. He's also a husband and father of six seven — and a recent speaker at the Forge Conference. Picking up where they left off last week, Joe and Tim work through the back half of the book chapter by chapter: Walkability & the "Cheaper by the Dozen" Reality Tim's hot take: "If you want fecundity in the sheets, you need walkability in the streets." Cities built around cars — not sidewalks and playgrounds — make raising kids exhausting. Tim also makes the case that hand-me-downs, shared bedrooms, and one-income households aren't sacrifices to dread but genuine advantages for kids learning to live outside themselves. It Takes a Village (Even If Hillary Said It First) The nuclear family is necessary but not sufficient. Grandparents, parishes, neighbors, and little leagues all play an irreplaceable role — and the decline of church attendance and community involvement is one of the biggest threats to family life today. Policy, Israel, and What Actually Moves the Needle Tim unpacks proposals like a "baby bonus" for new parents, and explains why Israel — not the wealthiest or most educated nation — has the highest birth rate among developed countries. His answer: culture and religion, not economics, are the real drivers. Screens, Social Media, and Protecting Your Kids A stark warning: unrestricted phone and social media access does more damage to a child's formation than anything imaginable a generation ago. Tim calls it what it is — an invasive species in the garden of your home. The Case for Stay-at-Home Moms Tim makes a data-backed, non-judgmental case for why society benefits when more moms can stay home — and why the "universal daycare" solution politicians push misses what many families actually want. Ending on Hope Tim closes with a powerful reframe: children are both a sign of hope and a cause of it. The more kids we have, the more hope we have — and the more hope we have, the more kids we're willing to welcome.
What happens when God uses unexpected moments to launch a ministry of hope? In this inspiring episode, Nikita Koloff welcomes Gina Fox, founder of the Anchored by the Sword ministry and podcast, to share her powerful testimony of healing, restoration, and purpose. Gina opens up about her journey back to faith after personal struggles, the life-changing 13-week freedom program that transformed her life, and the series of unmistakable moments that led her to start a podcast dedicated to helping others know they are not alone. She also discusses her book, Anchored in Freedom: Turning Trials into Testimonies, which features stories of people who have overcome grief, mental health challenges, trauma, and life's toughest seasons through faith in Christ. Together, Nikita and Gina explore the importance of authentic relationships, asking meaningful questions, and allowing God to break the chains that keep us from experiencing true freedom.

Joe Stopulos welcomes back author, journalist, and father of six Tim Carney for a two-part conversation on his latest book, Family Unfriendly: How Our Culture Made Raising Kids Much Harder Than It Needs to Be. Tim is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he researches civil society, family, localism, and religion in America, and a senior columnist at the Washington Examiner. He previously joined Joe to discuss his earlier book, Alienated America, and returns after a well-received talk at this year's Forge Conference. In Part 1, Joe and Tim cover: Why Tim wrote Family Unfriendly after realizing the biggest consequence of America's "loneliness crisis" is the decline in marriage and family formation The two biggest cultural forces working against families: an intensive, all-consuming parenting culture and an over-emphasis on individual autonomy Chapter One, "Have Lower Ambitions for Your Kids," and the "travel team trap" — why over-investing in one child's athletic future can fracture the whole family and warp a kid's sense of identity Research showing mothers of four or more children report lower stress than mothers of one to three, and why "lowering the bar" actually makes for better, more present parenting Chapter Two, "Leave Your Kids Alone," and the case for free-range parenting, including Tim's own stories of (temporarily) losing his kids in public The "criminalization of parenthood" — how fear and social media shaming have made ordinary, low-risk parenting decisions feel dangerous Why building stronger, more connected neighborhoods makes it easier and safer to give kids independence Parenting as a "cheat code to sanctity" and how raising children re-centers a family's life on others rather than self Tim Carney's book, Family Unfriendly, is available wherever books are sold.

In this inspiring episode of The Man Up Show, Nikita Koloff sits down with Ryan Rogers, who shares his powerful testimony of overcoming alcohol addiction, finding lasting freedom through his faith in Jesus Christ, and discovering God's greater purpose for his life. Ryan opens up about the struggles that shaped his journey, the conviction that led him to sobriety, and the life-changing influence of his wife, Tara. Together, they followed God's call to serve vulnerable children in Uganda by founding 91Four, a nonprofit ministry inspired by Psalm 91:4. What began as a mission to help just 23 girls escape the dangers of Kampala's slums has grown into a thriving Christ-centered ministry serving hundreds of children through education, housing, discipleship, and vocational training. Join Nikita and Ryan for an honest conversation about redemption, obedience, and how God can transform brokenness into a mission that changes lives around the world.
Phyllis was born in Ruston, Louisiana, in 1975, where she excelled in school, loved to read, and attended church on her own. Phyllis had many ups and downs in her childhood and teen years until she found a family to live with and attended church with at the age of 14. At age 17, Phyllis moved to Missouri to be near her brother and sister. She finished high school, and she and Tony were married two weeks later. Tony and Phyllis have two children, Grant and Joel. Phyllis was a stay-at-home mom until their youngest, Joel, started Kindergarten. Back in Missouri, Phyllis attended Crowder College and earned her nursing degree. While in Managua, Nicaragua, Phyllis served as a missionary nurse and teacher. She also earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. Phyllis completed her Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University in 2024. She is a family therapist at the Center for Children and Families in Monroe, Louisiana, and is passionate about serving children from hard places. She's picked up painting as a form of self-care and to spend some quality time with Tony in the studio. She is a cooperative artist at Courtyard on Cotton Gallery in West Monroe, Louisiana. In late 2019, Phyllis learned that her biological father was Duck Dynasty star and Duck Commander Phil Robertson. She and Tony live next door to her dad and Miss Kay. Tony and Phyllis also operate a short-term rental in St. Louis, where they stay as often as possible to visit Grant, Julie, Theo, and Harry.
What kind of man are you becoming — right now, today, not someday when things slow down?In this solo episode, Terry Gwaltney gets raw and honest about one of the most urgent issues facing men in America: the epidemic of men who are stuck in boyhood, playing life to the wrong scoreboard, and drifting through their days without ever fully deciding to become the man God designed them to be.Terry unpacks the difference between intention and decision, why manhood is never automatic, and what it actually looks like when a man steps up — spiritually, relationally, and generationally. He shares a powerful personal story about how one decision made by his father over 50 years ago has now impacted five generations of his family — and challenges every man listening to consider the ripple effect their choices are setting in motion right now.This episode is not a guilt trip. It's a call. A reminder that there is more grace in Jesus than there is sin in you — and that the same God who calls you to become a man also empowers you to do it.Ready to go deeper?

Topics covered in this episode include: Preparing for Mass — practical tips for getting your family out the door with less chaos, plus why even a few minutes of quiet before Mass changes everything Attire and reverence — Fr.

My guest, Hazel McKibbin, directs films that make top festivals. She edits films that make top festivals. And she makes commercials for brands at the Met Gala. And yet:Here's Hazel taking on a project about masculinity called LAST MAN UP (2026). Last episode, I praised writer and actor Robert R. Palmer for offering Hazel the opportunity to direct his project, so she deserves equal credit for taking it on. I could see a lesser director -- a lesser person -- saying no, but as she talks about in the episode, she saw it as an opportunity to expand her skillset.To say I wish there were more directors like Hazel is a bit of a non-descriptive statement: of course. What I mean by that is let's celebrate risk takers who leave their comfort zone of the material they are used to and take on somebody's project, or do something different.And if you're as talented as Hazel is, it'll work out beautifully.Hazel and I talk about:how she describes the film;why she decided to take on a story like this with a background in films "with a feminist lens";the reaction of other people when she took on this project;her entry into filmmaking and if starting out as an editor helps;the conversations she has with a director as an editor and vice versa now that she's directed several films;the increase in projects she's directed that were written by actors;what her wishes are for short films;why film school and why Columbia?her amazing Sundance experience;what's next for her.Hazel's Indie Film/Filmmaker Highlight: AU HASARD BALTHAZAR (1966) dir. by Robert Bresson; Joanna HoggMemorable Quotes:"It's a story about what it means to be the man of the house."" If you just leave it to an editor, and they fix it before they give it to you, I feel like you're missing an opportunity to to learn as a director.""I think actors as writers, they are so good at dialogue."" One of the things that especially I tell my students, [short films are] unity of time, place, and action."" Between commercials and narrative, there's not a lot of crossover."" I submitted it because you submit your first film to Sundance, you just do."Links:Follow Hazel On InstagramWatch DOUBLESPEAK (2021)
In this Episode of It's Time To Man Up, Nikita sits down with former NWA wrestler Magnum TA! Its a hard-hitting interview that you won't want to miss.
Case 37, A monk asked Jōshū, “What is the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming to China?” Jōshū replied, “The oak tree in the garden.” Case 5, titled “Kyōgen's Man Up a Tree.” Kyōgen said: “It's like a man up a tree, hanging from a branch by his mouth. His hands can't grasp a bough, his feet can't touch the trunk. Another man comes and asks from below, ‘What is the meaning of Bodhidharma's coming from the West?' If he doesn't answer, he evades his duty. If he answers, he falls and dies. What must he do?”
This is a director's podcast, but the truth is I don't talk with enough actors on here about the struggle they face in indie film. It offers a different lens on how difficult it is to get things made. That's why I'm so happy to be joined by Robert R. Palmer, actor/writer in the film LAST MAN UP (2026), which premiered at the Palm Springs International ShortFest.When we talked about the plight of actors, and I went through the ways especially an LA-based person had to get ahead -- influencing; writing your own script for a great role; other social media activities -- the difficult challenge for actors right now is getting ahead....by actually acting!So Robert did something creative: he wrote a project that he could star in and then reached out to an ultra-talented director named Hazel McKibbin. (I'll talk to Hazel next episode.) It's both a show of humility and genius, and I cannot wait for you to hear his story.Robert and I talk about:how he describes the film;what it's like writing a role that you know -- as an actor -- you'll play;taking a story about masculinity and pitching it to a director who sees things through a feminist lens;how he got involved in filmmaking and how he wrote this project to get to the level of work he wanted to be at;what life is like as a young actor in LA;working with the director for the film and what he wishes directors knew about the acting life;what's next for him and why you should hire him for your next project.Memorable Quotes:"It's a tragedy, but a fun tragedy."On masculinity and feminism: " they're two sides of the same coin";"I'm an actor, first and foremost."" Being a young actor in LA, it's a grind. It's a hustle.""Actors want to be left alone."Links:Follow Robert On Instagram
Motivation runs out by Tuesday. Discipline built on who you are does not. That is the whole conversation.Pauly Domenech is a mindset and performance coach with Glover U who sold 100+ homes a year for seven years. In this episode we get into the real estate agent mindset behind that number: why motivation is fleeting, how discipline actually comes from identity and character, the morning routine that runs his day, and the listing audit that moved his team from $400K to $4.3M in GCI in one month. Then he tells the story of going through a minivan windshield training for his first Ironman, and finishing the race 28 days later.IN THIS EPISODE- Why motivation is fleeting and discipline comes from character- The sneaky sheets and the night-before routine that runs his day- The listing audit that went from $400K to $4.3M in one month- Leading the man in the mirror first- The bike crash, the Ironman 28 days later, and "because you can, you must"KEY TAKEAWAYS- Discipline is not a long grind. It is one decision made in the moment, over and over.- Reverse-engineer your bedtime from your morning. Subtract what wastes your evening instead of adding willpower.- Audit your listings.

This week on Man Up, Joe Stopulos is joined again by his brothers Pete and Tim for part two of their tribute to their late father, Mike Stopulos. After last week's biographical look at Mike's life, this episode turns to the lessons: what did their dad actually do that made him the kind of man an entire community showed up to grieve? The brothers walk through it lesson by lesson: Be there — Mike coached freshman basketball at Assumption High School (earning the nickname "Papa Stop"), showed up for backyard football and homework, and made sure his kids never felt his absence even during years of financial strain he never mentioned. Take calculated risks — from proposing to their mother six months into dating, to launching side businesses, to investing in Airbnb properties with his sons during the pandemic, Mike modeled fearless but thoughtful risk-taking that paid off far beyond money. Order your life rightly — faith first, then family (wife before kids), then work, then friends. The brothers share how Mike's sacrificial love for their mother, especially through her health struggles, shaped how they lead their own households today. Pour out love on everyone — stories pour out about Mike's daily visits to a local Starbucks and grocery store, his habit of embracing a disfigured cart-pusher by name, and quietly slipping strangers at Walmart one hundred dollars with no explanation. Fear no one — from cracking jokes with hospital staff during his final weeks to evangelizing nurses about their faith, Mike lived out the Gospel call to approach every person without fear or judgment. A model Catholic death — the episode closes with the family's account of Mike's final hours: receiving anointing, an apostolic blessing, and communion, then passing peacefully as his six children prayed a rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet at his bedside.

In this first installment of a multi-part tribute series, Joe Stopulos sits down with his brothers Pete and Tim to remember their father, Mike Stopulos, who passed away recently and left an outsized mark on his family and community. The brothers trace Mike's story from the beginning: a free-range 1950s and 60s childhood in Davenport, Iowa, where kids rode a school bus ten miles out to the Davenport Country Club to golf unsupervised all day. They talk about his unlikely walk-on stint on the University of Iowa football team, and the famously fast romance with their mother — engaged just six months after they met while he was coaching her women's softball team. From there, the conversation moves into the pillars of Mike's life: raising six kids born between 1980 and 1990, an unwavering commitment to Catholic schooling, daily faith, never missing Sunday Mass or a holy day of obligation, and consistent family dinners despite a demanding career. The episode also covers his entrepreneurial path — from Lindsey Digital Prepress, to opening Bixby's Bagels and Malley's Pizza, to launching a second career in employee benefits consulting at age 49 alongside Andy Butler, a business he worked in until his final days. The episode closes with a glimpse of the overwhelming turnout at Mike's visitation and funeral — a line that ran hours past its scheduled end — as a testament to the life he lived. Part two of this tribute series continues next week, diving into the specific lessons in faith, work, and fatherhood that Mike passed down to his sons.

Tim shares his remarkable journey from a life-altering stage IV cancer diagnosis to becoming a voice of hope, change, and advocacy for others.At age 52, thriving in his career and with no family history of colorectal cancer, Tim heard the words no one expects: “You have cancer.” Not only that—but it had already progressed to stage IV and spread to his liver.What followed wasn't just a fight for survival.It became a mission.
What happens when a cancer diagnosis turns out to be the beginning of a mission, not the end of a story? In episode 267 of Joy Found Here, Tim McDonald shares how a stage IV colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2020 led him through chemo, a search for a living liver donor, and ultimately a transplant that changed everything—and how that journey turned him into a research advocate, author, and podcast host fighting to make sure others don't face the same battle alone.

This week on Man Up, Joe Stopulos shares the second and final part of his Heroic Fatherhood conversation with his father, Mike Stopulos — an interview recorded a couple of years ago and aired now in his memory. Where Part 1 traced the men who shaped Mike (his own father, Jim "Papa Jim" Stopulos, and his father-in-law, Carl Liebscher), Part 2 turns to Mike's own fatherhood: raising six kids, leading a family through faith, and the long view that only grandchildren can give. If you missed the first half, go back and listen before diving in. Inside this episode: Why Mike and his wife, Mary Fran, decided she would step away from a thriving career at John Deere — where she worked as an actuary on a management-science track and out-earned him — to stay home with the kids, and the generational blessing that one hard decision created. The "blur" of early fatherhood, and Mike's advice to savor it: invest in experiences and memories over presents, because the time together is what kids carry for life. How parenting has to evolve with the culture — from Nintendo, MTV, and latchkey kids to Facebook — without ever abandoning the moral compass at its core. The "plenty of rope" and "big fence" philosophy: setting boundaries far enough out that kids can explore, stumble, and learn from failure, while never compromising on what protects their souls. The shift from parent to friend as children grow into adults — and why, in raising kids, "there are no mulligans." Becoming "Papa": loving grandchildren unconditionally, donuts and trips to Freddy's, and earning the kind of respect that puts a "what would Papa do?" voice on their shoulder. The faith that anchored it all — never missing Sunday Mass, daily Mass through Lent, and Mike's conviction that strong moral roots will draw kids back even when they stray. Joe closes with a personal reflection on his dad's example, the outpouring of love at his funeral, and the tribute episodes still to come.

Jeff Ford leads Man Up and Go, an organization dedicated to ending fatherlessness by championing healthy biblical masculinity — and his story starts with an adoption class he and his wife wandered into back in 2010. That decision led to adopting two kids from Ethiopia and China, a mission trip to Uganda that changed his life, and eventually a full-time calling to disciple men toward what he calls being a "Patros" — an ancient word meaning father, rooted in Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 4:15 about spiritual fathers who pass on wisdom to the next generation. Brian From talks with his old Wheaton College dormmate about his new book, The Way of the Patros, 74 short, three-minute chapters built for the average guy in any town to grow as a man of faith a few minutes at a time. Jeff doesn't shy away from hard data either — citing a stat that the average man has less than one close friend — and makes the case that healthy masculinity requires real vulnerability, brotherhood, and putting faith into action, not just talk.

This week on Man Up, Joe Stopulos revisits one of the most meaningful conversations he has ever recorded: an interview with his own father, Mike Stopulos, taped during the original Heroic Fatherhood series. Following Mike's recent passing, this episode has become a cherished keepsake, and Joe opens with a heartfelt encouragement to listeners: if you are blessed to still have your parents or grandparents, grab a microphone, sit down with them, and ask them about their lives. Those recordings become priceless. In this first of a two-part conversation, Mike looks back on the two heroic men who modeled fatherhood for him: His father ("Papa") — the son of a Greek immigrant who grew up in poverty, served as a B-17 pilot in World War II, and built and ran movie theaters across the Quad Cities, open 364 days a year. Mike remembers his relentless work ethic, his hopeless optimism, his lack of any prejudice, and above all his total devotion to his wife, which only deepened as she battled Alzheimer's. He lived to 100. His father-in-law, Carl Liebscher ("Gopa") — a steady, God-centered father of eight who moved his entire life from New Braunfels, Texas to Davenport, Iowa simply to make his wife happy. Mike shares two pieces of advice that stuck with him for life: that unless something is keeping your children from getting to heaven, it isn't worth worrying about, and that a heavy load gets much lighter when there are many shoulders to help carry it. Running through both men is the same thread Joe returns to again and again on the show: the servant leader who puts faith first, his wife next, and family at the center of everything. As Joe reflects, his confidence in speaking about fatherhood comes not from being a perfect father himself, but from witnessing three great ones up close. Part two airs next week, when Joe and his father turn to Mike's own approach to fatherhood and how he raised his family. Man Up airs on the Iowa Catholic Radio Network.

In this Father's Day special of It's Time to Man Up, host Nikita Koloff welcomes longtime friend and guest Robbie Dilmore, known to many as "The Christian Car Guy," for a heartfelt conversation about fatherhood, family, faith, and the lasting impact fathers have on future generations!
In this Father's Day episode, Dr. Bud Marr hosts solo while co-host Bo Bonner travels through Europe, welcoming back an Uncommon Good "all-star": Joe Stopulos, host of the Man Up show on Iowa Catholic Radio. Both shows launched in 2016, and this episode marks an Iowa Catholic Radio mashup centered on one question — what does it mean to live a life well lived in light of eternity? The conversation grows out of Joe's recent loss of his father, who died after a fourteen-week battle with aggressive cancer. Joe shares the beauty found within that suffering: a death surrounded by family, the reception of communion and the sacrament of anointing, and a final afternoon of praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at his father's bedside. The discussion turns to the Church's teaching that we should never hasten death, and how that teaching preserved precious conversations, graces, and "teachable moments" that would otherwise have been lost. Highlights and themes include: The witness of service over selfishness — drawing on Joe's father, bookstore owner Lois Brookhart, Father Aquinas, and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati as everyday and saintly models Bishop Robert Barron's challenge that "your life is not about you" Memento mori and Ben Sasse's reflections on facing mortality Living the joy of the gospel without needing to be a scholar or apologist — the "little way" of St. Thérèse and the humble witness of Blessed Solanus Casey and St. John Henry Newman Balancing vocation, career, and intentional time with children Health span and stewardship of the body — referencing Peter Attia's Outlive — as a way to keep serving others well into old age Tim Carney's Family Unfriendly and resisting the "Instagram" sheen of family life The Uncommon Good is a production of Iowa Catholic Radio, exploring Catholic social teaching for everyday life.

True biblical manhood isn't defined by career success — it's forged in the Word of God. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with David Jeffers, a retired Army Master Sergeant, and author of Man Up! What the Bible Says About Being a Man. Jeffers shares his remarkable journey through divorce, military service, and the loss of his son in combat. He also reflects on how Scripture recalibrated his understanding of godly manhood.
