Are you a man who runs from the storm… or one who charges into it with trust and grit? What kind of man faces the storm—and what kind of Savior still calms it?  In this powerful message from Men in the Arena ManCamp 2025, Jim Ramos challenges men to stop shrinking back and start stepping up when life gets rough. Drawing from Mark 4 and the raw reality of personal trials, this talk explores what it means to trust Jesus in the middle of the storm—when the waves are high, your strength is gone, and all you've got left is faith. This is a challenge for every man to listen to the voice of Jesus, fix his eyes on the cross, and become the kind of man who heads into the storm instead of running from it.

Matty Dalrymple talks with Jennifer Hilt and Ran Walker about WHAT WRITERS CAN LEARN FROM "THE FULL MONTY," including the idea of characters'  external wants versus internal needs; the use of tropes such as found family, ticking time bombs, and ugly duckling progressions; and how the film uses one element to convey multiple messages. We discuss how the movie explores themes of masculinity, self-image, and societal expectations, and reflect on what makes the movie universally appealing and emotionally impactful so that writers can apply those techniques to their own work.   Interview video at https://tinyurl.com/TIA293YT Show notes at https://www.theindyauthor.com/show-notes   If you find the information in this video useful, please consider supporting The Indy Author! https://www.patreon.com/theindyauthor https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattydalrymple   Jennifer Hilt is a USA Today Bestselling author and the creator of The Trope Thesaurus: An Author Resource, a five-book series beloved by writers seeking to hone their craft.

Are you dishing out judgment when you should be offering mercy? Is your version of justice undermining God's grace? In this week's message, Pastor Jim Ramos delves into mercy, grace, judgment, and wrath. If you don't understand these principles, you're fumbling the fundamentals of the Christian life. These aren't just theological buzzwords—they determine how you lead, love, and respond when it counts. It's time to stop defaulting to wrath and judgment, and start choosing the power of grace and mercy.

Becoming Better: The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation What if you could unlock a path to realizing true personal transformation—not just doing better, but becoming better? Many people chase improvement but remain stuck, frustrated by progress that feels incremental at best. That's because most self-improvement strategies focus on one's Doing Side—their level of knowledge, skills, and abilities. While valuable, this approach only scratches the surface of what's possible.In Becoming Better, Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Ryan Gottfredson, PhD, teaches you that transformational growth requires a shift to a deeper dimension known as your Being Side—the quality of your mindsets, emotional depth, and regulatory abilities. It is this unseen foundation that shapes how you experience the world and how the world experiences you. But few understand their Being Side, let alone how to elevate it.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Are you blindly following the wrong leaders? Could you be letting unqualified voices shape your soul? In this week's 10-minute equipping episode, Pastor Jim Ramos exposes the trend of self-proclaimed “coaches” flooding the internet with no real accountability or biblical backbone. Too many men are allowing themselves to be discipled by leaders who wouldn't last five minutes under the biblical qualifications of 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 ('Dialed In'). If you want to be a man who leads with strength, integrity, and unwavering faith, you need to know WHO you're letting disciple you.

Men, do you believe God still has a plan for you, even after you've blown it? We can all learn from Peter — a man who failed publicly and painfully, yet was restored by Jesus and used powerfully. In this week's message, Pastor Jim Ramos dives into failure, redemption, and the relentless grace of God. Drawing from personal experience, Jim confronts the fact that we all fall short. This isn't about pretending to have it all together. It's about recognizing our flaws, stepping up, and turning to Christ — the only source of real, lasting redemption.  This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon.

Is it possible for one encounter with Jesus to restore a marriage and change generations? If you're struggling in your relationship, praying for your spouse, or just need a reminder of God's ability to turn things around, this testimony will encourage you.
