Email us at info@manupadventure.comIn this episode of the Man-Up Podcast, host Terry Gwaltney sits down with TJ Greaney — fourth-generation Texan, award-winning outdoor journalist, radio host, and founder of Kids Outdoor Zone, one of the fastest-growing men's mentoring ministries in America. TJ opens up about growing up in a broken home, living on the streets at 13, and how God used the outdoors to shape his faith and calling. Together, Terry and TJ unpack the epidemic of fatherlessness sweeping our nation, why so many men raise their hand for Jesus but never get in the fight, and how a simple Saturday in the woods with a fatherless boy can change the trajectory of a family for generations. If you've been waiting for a sign to roll up your sleeves and invest in the next generation — this is it. Find out more at kidsoutdoorzone.com.Main Quote:"I don't want our men in the church to raise their hand and say, 'Yes, I'm for Jesus,' and then come to the end of their life realizing they just rang the bell. They never got in the fight. They never got to the front lines."

In this powerful episode of the Man-Up Adventure Podcast, host Terry Gwaltney sits down with Eli Tavarez — Navy veteran, husband, father of four, and leader of Project Savior Outdoors, a ministry on the front lines of fighting veteran suicide through brotherhood, purpose, and the hope of Jesus Christ.Eli grew up in a Christian home with an incredible family legacy, but left his faith behind when he joined the Navy — chasing success, status, and the approval of the world. On paper he had it all. But spiritually and morally, he was bankrupt. It wasn't until his infant daughter's life hung in the balance that God broke through and brought Eli to his knees in one of the most raw and powerful conversion moments you'll ever hear.From that encounter with the living God, Eli's life was transformed — and now he gets front row seats to watching Jesus do the same in the lives of veterans, first responders, and broken men who walk through the doors of Project Savior Outdoors.In this episode:Eli's journey from a legacy of great men to spiritual bankruptcy in the NavyThe terrifying hospital moment that brought him face to face with GodHow discipleship and brotherhood have been at the center of every victory in his walkWhat Project Savior Outdoors is and how it's fighting veteran suicideWhy isolation is one of the enemy's greatest weapons against menThe difference between meeting church and actually meeting Jesus

Email us at: info@manupadventurecamp.comIn Part 2 of his series on temptation, host Terry Gwaltney gets tactical. This episode moves beyond defining temptation and digs into how men can actually stop losing the same fight over and over again. Terry unpacks the enemy's primary battlefield — the mind — and explains why so many men live in a cycle of defeat, shame, and silence. Drawing from Scripture, real-life examples, and the story of Jesus in the wilderness, Terry challenges men to know their enemy, arm themselves with God's Word, and stop trying to white-knuckle their way through behavior modification. The real answer, he argues, is transformation through identity — understanding who God says you are before the enemy gets a chance to tell you otherwise. Whether you're a new believer or have been walking with God for decades, this episode delivers the tools and encouragement to start winning the battles that matter most.Main Quote: "Instead of figuring out how close you can get to sin without crossing the line, figure out how far back you need to build the guardrail."Remember:Legacy is not what you leave to people. It's what you leave in them.

What started as a fun hobby now draws millions every month — but the real story is how the outdoors became a place for honesty, brotherhood, and spiritual wake-up calls.We dig into what makes hunting such fertile ground for men: long sits that quiet the mind, real conversations with guys you trust, and the reminder that you were never meant to walk alone. John shares the conviction that changed everything — “If I'm not the same man in the woods, at home, and online… I'm not the man God called me to be.”From marriage and fatherhood to spiritual leadership and the need for 2 a.m. friends, this episode hits the heart of why men today are hungry for real connection.

Stevie is a former professional rugby player and part of the golden generation at the Leeds Rhinos, one of the most successful teams in Super League history. Stevie became the youngest grand final winner ever, won 3 Grand Finals, 2 Challenge Cups and was named captain at just 26. Amongst the highs, Stevie endured 10 operations, several mental health struggles, and had to retire from a brain injury at the age of 27. Stevie launched Mantality in 2016, inspiring conversation around mental health for men. Mantality now offers counselling and life-coaching services and engages people through a stigma-breaking podcast. Throughout all of the winning and losing in life, Stevie believes that the truest form of resilience is to realise the potential of our true selves. Stevie put this to the test by leading culture meetings as a captain of the Rhinos team in rugby league, one of the toughest sports there is. Promoting authenticity formed championship-winning teams and formidable relationships. Stevie believes that authenticity is the only thing that aligns success with fulfilment, and we all crave it. Stevie shatters the stigma around expressing how we truly feel in an increasingly complicated world. He has realised that authenticity aligns success with personal fulfilment, revolutionises internal comms and is essential for us to connect. And this is why I'm excited to bring you this conversation with Stevie. I believe authenticity is lacking in many HP departments primarily because of reasons such as low psychological safety, the value of depth of knowledge over the ability to share knowledge and the hierarchical nature of sport that restricts true collaboration. Talking Points: How Stevie gained awareness of the importance of being truly authentic to form formidable relationships.

This episode of The Unlock Moment with rugby league star and mental health campaigner Stevie Ward is just so special. He's such a powerful storyteller, he paints vivid pictures that bring you right into the moment. For a guy trained to put his body on the line, he's remarkably in touch with his emotions and his vulnerability, and he's got an extraordinary personal story to tell. This is not really a conversation about sports, it's a conversation about challenge and adversity, aloneness and togetherness, redemption and triumph. This is an episode that's going to give you that and so much more.Stevie Ward is a keynote speaker and former professional rugby league player, part of the golden generation at the Leeds Rhinos, one of the most successful teams in super league history. Stevie became the youngest grand final winner ever, going on to win two more Grand Finals and 2 Challenge Cups, and was named captain at just 26. In UK elite sport, he's a huge name.In 2019 Stevie suffered a head injury in a game against Wigan. He was diagnosed with debilitating concussion, which led to him retiring from the game at just 27 at the start of 2020. His long journey of physical and mental recovery from brain injury, through lockdown and beyond, has shaped a passion for opening up the conversation about mental health.Throughout all of the winning and losing in life, Stevie believes that the truest form of resilience is to realise the potential of our true selves. Stevie put this to the test by leading culture meetings as a captain of the Rhinos team. Promoting authenticity formed championship-winning teams and formidable relationships.He channelled his own mental health challenges into Mantality, a movement where men can be vulnerable, address our mental health and then take up the responsibility to do something about it, to go find meaning and purpose within our lives. 25% of people in the UK suffer with a mental health problem each year, so Mantality is committed to donating 25% of all profits to offering immediate psychological support to young people who need it.And Stevie launched the Mantality podcast to discuss mental health openly and freely with athletes at the top of their game and role-model celebrities. I've listened and it's a really great conversation.Stevie's is a tough journey but I'm so impressed with how he has turned personal adversity into a mission to make a difference around mental health. I can't wait for this conversation and to hear about the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that shaped his path along the way.--Stevie Ward: https://stevieward.co.uk/Mantality: https://mantality.co.uk/

Steve has had one hell of a life. He joined the navy when he was young, played amateur rugby, went into the hospitality industry and has managed many hotels worldwide. In his own words, Steve is struggling with the hardest time of his life right now. Steve believes his mental health has plummeted since covid. Steve reflects and wonders about how mental health issues may always have been present, but what he's dealing with now is having a serious effect on his daily life. It's true bravery to speak so openly when going through this. The environment he creates at Weetwood Hall Hotel is a testament to the man, despite his daily struggles.  Steve has brought together a tribe of people at Weetwood who care about wellbeing, mental, and physical health. This includes Driven Athlete and Mantality. This support goes all the way back to Mantality's founding in 2016.   Enjoy the podcast!

This chat will go over their respective journeys and how they've changed and grown as people and Rugby players. They cover - speaking truth when it comes to mental health, Ollie's recent DMT trip, role models, the truth behind the physical and mental toll of rugby league, and concussion. Enjoy!

Stevie Ward and Mantality counsellor Jon Bell sit down to talk CHANGE. Break-ups, losses of jobs, relatives, and loss of interest are all CHANGE. Change is always happening in our life but what is the best way to deal with it? What trips us up during change, and how can other people disappoint us? One question in the podcast is: when do we feel complete and how do we measure ourselves?   Jon is a master at understanding how we can all feel beneath the surface and how we often put pressure on ourselves to reach a certain standard. Stevie and Jon also talk about people pleasing and why we do this. The podcast takes a deep dive into how we operate as people, if you have any questions, reach out to the Mantality team or you can book a session with Jon or another Mantality counsellor at mantality.co.uk/counselling

We were absolutely buzzing to have Christopher Hayes as our latest guest on the Mantality pod. Chris is a former Royal Marine Commando, an MMA practitioner and a metal artist. After being discharged due to mental health issues Chris went through two years of depression, alcohol and substance abuse before a chance encounter changed his life... We chat with Chris all about his story, what led him into the army and what the optimum conditions are for us to cultivate resilience and grow. We only had an hour with Chris but as you can tell from this chat we could have chatted for ages! We look forward to having Chris back in the future and following his journey.

Welcome one, welcome all to another edition of the Blacksmith's Furnace. It the Heavy Hitters delivering the 1, 2 that's knocked Robert out cold and into next week, hopefully. Mo and Peter go one for one during Sorry not Sorry, Mo talked about his thoughts on the Church as a corporate organisation being financially “profitable” and Pete talked about the theory that Jesus was in himself, Father, Son and Holy Spirit at once. We then go on to talk about the Jonny Depp vs Amber Heard defamation lawsuit and the traditional attitude towards men being the victims of abuse in relationships. This then led us to a really difficult conversation about what masculinity even means! Suffice it to say we'd very must like to know what it means to you. For our Hookups, Peter suggested checking out an album by the God over money crew released on the 29th called Us against the World, have a listen here [https://open.spotify.com/album/5UlmeuYvwVo7YGrovmpbJW?si=caFdjBkrQD62Ytz6wj67IQ](https://open.spotify.com/album/5UlmeuYvwVo7YGrovmpbJW?si=caFdjBkrQD62Ytz6wj67IQ) Mo suggested checking out Moana, not just because he is a quintessential dad but also because he loves the storytelling in the movie. Check it out here [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3521164/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3521164/) **We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing, and if you don't, please let us know in the comments and let your friends know by sharing.

“Everybody tells you to be patient but they don't tell you how to be patient.” – L.T. Bourne   Today's featured author is activist, filmmaker and speaker from the Caribbean Islands, L.T. Bourne. Leo and I talk about his book, his nonprofit “Open Thought” and the qualities of a true leader.   Key Takeaways: “I believe that we all have a story to tell and it's unfair to the next generation for us to take our stories to the grave.” “We have to find ways to let our light shine.” “People feed off of your passion.” Find and live out your passion. Live life fearlessly. Leaders should have integrity, passion and an open mind. The person you know may change within 10 minutes just by getting on social media and seeing a mind-changing post. We live in the age of instant gratification and it doesn't reflect how the process of life truly works. “Take care of yourself and be patient with yourself.”   L.T.'s Site: https://ltbourne.org/   L.T.'s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Mans-World-conquered-ebook/dp/B07TJ9PWR4   The opening track is titled “Amor Vencer” from Subterranean Sessions by MadXruler formerly known as Ruler Inc.

“Don't go away from here without telling your story.” - DeWayne Foote   Today's featured author is spoken word artist and plumber, DeWayne Foote. DeWayne and I talk about his upbringing that taught him to ask boldly as well as what helped him become a spoken word artist.   Key Takeaways:  When you transform into a writer, it opens yourself up for other avenues. “The more I wrote, the better I felt.” Some parts of your character are ticked away until the right catalyst appears. Everyone needs a dose of reality. The dose is sometimes painful but necessary. Understand your audience and your cadence as a spoken word artist.   DeWayne's Book: https://www.amazon.com/ManTality-DeWayne-Foote-ebook/dp/B07467MJ9Q   The opening track is titled "King's Theme" by Asis Galvin.
