Ep. 61 – Pushing Forward Even When God Himself Gives You Resistance?!
As men of the kingdom we need to learn to be disagreeable. To be willing to make people angry. To be willing to chart our own path, though not really our own, but God’s path for us. This is what Jesus modeled. In fact, this is what Jesus honors many times
Ep. 60 – When Your Mission and God’s Promise Bring Adversity

Ep. 53 – God Validation and Self Validation: the RIGHT way to become Unshakeable
Unshakeability is something we all would like more of. It’s something that most of the men I work with feel like they are lacking.

Ep. 48 – End Times? Or OUR Time? It’s time to stop hiding behind lazy theology.
We’ve bought the self-pity, defeated, lazy lie that the world is terrible anyway. That it’s only getting worse. And that the only thing that really matters is whether we are saved and whether we get someone else saved or not. But what if that’s only part

Ep. 42 – Getting in the game, even before you have “THE” encounter
Many men play the victim card when it comes to taking action in their lives. They believe that they CAN’T because God hasn’t chosen them. He’s chosen others on his A team but not them. Today, we throw that sacred cow to the ground.
Ep. 41 – If niceness is wrong, then how should we live instead?
Somebody just SHOW ME! Can you relate? Do you ever wish that there was a model, an example somewhere that we could look to in order to know what a REAL man looks like? Not a Christian man. Not a church-going man. Not a worldly, woman degrading, domineerin

Too many husbands relate to their wives from a place of desperation. We’re desperate for them to like us. Desperate for them to notice our changing. Desperate for their affection. What we need is to walk in the confidence of Jesus. To be okay in the storm
Ep. 36 – Peace in the Storm: How to Move from Desperation to Confident Certainty Even in Crisis
Faith is not what we think. Jesus offended his disciples by his own display of faith, meanwhile calling them out for their lack of faith–even when they are coming to him, rather than to someone else. If calling out to Jesus when we are in danger isn’t fa
Ep. 35 – Grit, Determination, and a dogged commitment to your mission
Sometimes following Jesus isn’t sexy. Sometimes growing into the man that you know you can be isn’t sexy. And if you’re not ready for the opposition from ALL sides, you might give up before you reach the reward. Don’t be that guy. Don’t quit. Be like Nehe

Ep. 30 – Redeeming Weak Masculinity in Marriage

Ep. 28 – A Man of the Kingdom is Unshakeable

Ep. 27 – Pursue Your Mission at All Costs

Our current culture sets us up to be weak and give up. Our current church culture encourages passivity and mediocrity. We are taught that God is in control and that we should just submit to him when circumstances don’t work out our way. We are taught that
Ep. 24 – Getting Real
A man growing in maturity needs to learn to accept himself. This is not a replacement for drive, for focus, for pushing toward excellence. This is simply being confident and embracing who God has made you to be. It is accepting you for you, as Jesus does.
Ep. 23 – When a Man Believes for Healing: A Testimony and a Message
In today’s episode you’ll get to hear the story of how a visitor listened to my morning message on how Jesus heals today, and she was instantly, miraculously healed of severe scoliosis and skull/neck structural malformation. And keep on listening for the
Ep. 22 – Why the “Best” Marriage Advice isn’t Working for Your Marriage
Most of the marriage advice we get when we Christian husbands are out looking for help is actually pretty darn useless. It leaves us feeling broken and small and like we are simply victims of some bad situation. It doesn’t help us to rebuild our marriages
Ep. 21 – Being a Strong, Confident, and Attractive Father and Husband: Thoughts about baby #3 arriving yesterday
You can change, men. You CAN become the man you were meant to be. You CAN live in power and confidence and strength as a covering over your family. Jesus is King and he raises up warriors. That includes you.
