| 692. 2 Timothy 1:8-9 - Spiritual Kick Off | 01 Jun 2026 | 00:27:43 | |
Comfort is a great salesman and a terrible king. When we build our lives around avoiding pain, chasing prestige, and protecting a “good” reputation, we can end up successful on paper and hollow on the inside. Today we sit with 2 Timothy 1:8-9 and let Paul’s words cut through the noise: don’t be ashamed, don’t back down, and be willing to join the struggle that comes with a holy calling.

| 691. Member Spotlight: Don Yost | 29 May 2026 | 00:32:21 | |
A lot of men can carry a strong exterior while quietly falling apart inside. We talk with Don Yost, an Army veteran whose story cuts through the noise: combat deployments, PTSD and traumatic brain injury, seasons of addiction and anger, broken relationships, and the kind of darkness that led to five suicide attempts. And yet, by God’s grace, he’s still here and he’s building a different life. We are excited to be speaking at Mountain Life Church in Park City Utah on June 20th.

| 690. I'm Just A Guy: Who's Overwhelmed | 27 May 2026 | 00:36:15 | |
Overwhelm has a way of dressing up like responsibility. You tell yourself you’re providing, protecting, and pushing through, but under the surface you’re exhausted and carrying more than you were meant to hold. We get honest about that pressure and why so many Christian men quietly believe the lie of self-sufficiency, even when they love God and want to lead well.

| 689. Matthew 11:28-30 - Spiritual Kick Off | 25 May 2026 | 00:24:09 | |
Overwhelm has a way of convincing us that the whole world rests on our shoulders and that if we slow down, we’re failing. We go to Matthew 11:28-30 and take Jesus at His word: weary men are invited to come to Him and receive real rest, not just a break, not just a nap, but rest for the soul.

| 688. Member Spotlight: Jonathan Adkins | 22 May 2026 | 00:30:42 | |
Anxiety has a way of convincing us that if we just plan harder and grip tighter, we will finally feel safe. Jonathan Adkins shares what happened when that strategy stopped working and he hit a low point that forced an honest admission: control is not the same as peace, and it never was. His story will resonate with a lot of Christian men who grew up around church, drifted in college, and later realized something essential was missing.

| 687. The Man For The Day With Josh Smith | 20 May 2026 | 01:02:57 | |
A lot of Christian men are carrying a quiet sentence in their chest: “I don’t feel like I’m winning anywhere.” Work might be moving, but home feels tense. Faith feels inconsistent. Confidence feels thin. I sit down with Pastor Josh Smith of Prince Avenue Baptist Church to name that discouragement honestly and then challenge it with something better than hype: biblical manhood built from the inside out.

| 686. Acts 11:23-24 - Spiritual Kick Off | 18 May 2026 | 00:25:24 | |
Barnabas is not the loudest name in the New Testament, but Acts 11:23–24 shows why his leadership still shakes the ground. When he steps into Antioch and sees the grace of God moving among outsiders, he doesn’t tighten his grip or try to control the moment. He rejoices, he encourages, and he calls people to stay true to the Lord with a steady, resolute heart. That kind of quiet obedience is rare, and it’s exactly what many Christian men need right now.

A towboat captain spends his nights staring out a wheelhouse window, pushing massive barges through narrow channels, fog, and storms and he learned the hard way that drifting just a little can shake everything. That’s why this conversation with T.R. Lavespere hits so deep. We talk about what it looks like for Christian men to stay “in the channel” spiritually, and what God’s warnings feel like when you’re headed toward shallow water.

| 684. How To Be A Man With Don Ross | 13 May 2026 | 00:52:02 | |
Most men don’t need another vague pep talk about “being better.” We need brothers close enough to tell the truth, challenge the drift, and point us back to Jesus when we’re stuck. That’s why I sat down with Don Ross, founder of Manhood Tribes, to unpack what a real tribe looks like for Christian men who want leadership, integrity, and freedom not just more information.

| 683. Proverbs 15:22 - Spiritual Kick Off | 11 May 2026 | 00:23:18 | |
Most of us don’t fail because we lack talent. We fail because we try to do it alone. Proverbs 15:22 cuts straight through the noise: “Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors, they succeed.” We unpack what that looks like for Christian men who want stronger leadership, better decisions, and a life that actually holds up when pressure hits.

| 682. Member Spotlight: Joseph Hart | 08 May 2026 | 00:56:03 | |
Joseph’s story starts with something most men never expect to say out loud: “I grew up in a cult.” What follows is an honest, gritty walk through the real-life fallout of distorted faith, broken family patterns, emotional shutdown, and the kind of pride that says, I’ll handle it myself. If you’ve ever felt disconnected at home, stuck in secrecy, or unsure how to lead as a Christian man, you’re going to feel seen here.

| 681. When Kingdom Light Shines With Mark Ellis | 06 May 2026 | 00:57:42 | |
One prayer under a desk. One atheist’s last-ditch cry for help. One astronaut 238,000 miles from home sensing Jesus so vividly he turns around to look. These aren’t stories meant to entertain you for an hour. They’re a wake-up call for men who say they believe the gospel is power, yet still find themselves hesitant, quiet, or spiritually passive when it counts. I’m joined by journalist Mark Ellis, founder of GodReports.com and author of When Kingdom Light Shines, a collection of faith stories and Christian testimonies gathered over decades. Mark shares his own journey from skepticism to conviction, and why the resurrection evidence forced a decision. We are excited to be speaking at Mountain Life Church in Park City Utah on June 20th.

| 680. Romans 1:16 - Spiritual Kick Off | 04 May 2026 | 00:27:23 | |
Romans 1:16 is not a soft verse. It’s a line in the sand, and it confronts a problem I see everywhere in Christian men: spiritual passivity. We’ve learned how to agree with the gospel while staying quiet, staying comfortable, and acting like faith is optional. “I am not ashamed of the gospel” calls us out of that posture and into conviction, not to be loud or abrasive, but to be loyal to Christ when it actually costs something.

| 678. Understanding The Gospel Of John With Chris Scotti | 29 Apr 2026 | 00:50:51 | |
A lot of us say we’re fine, but Scripture tells a different story: we needed rescuing, and God actually did it. We start with Colossians 1:13–14 and sit with the weight of those words, rescued from the authority of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of Jesus. Then I’m joined by Chris Scotti, vice president and publisher at 316 Publishing, whose story is a straight shot to the heart of Christian discipleship: the Bible isn’t meant to stay closed, and the Gospel of John can change a life when someone finally reads it for themselves.

| 677. Colossians 1:13-14 - Spiritual Kick Off | 27 Apr 2026 | 00:25:48 | |
Four words can rebuild a man from the inside out: rescued, transferred, redeemed, forgiven. We sit in Colossians 1:13-14 and dig into why Paul’s wording is not “churchy language,” but the clearest picture of what God actually does for us when we can’t fix ourselves. If you’ve been carrying the quiet belief that real strength means handling life alone, we challenge that head-on. Rescue assumes danger and inability, and the “domain of darkness” is bigger than willpower, better habits, or trying to look like you have it together.

Some of the strongest leaders you know are carrying the heaviest weight in silence and that includes pastors. I sit down with my friend Pastor Brent Roe to talk about what happens when you stop trying to “be good,” realize you cannot earn your way to God, and finally surrender for a faith that lasts longer than a two week camp high. Brent shares his calling story, the surprising moment a dream became real life, and why his dad’s words still ring true: if God calls you, you will never be satisfied doing anything else.

Mitch joins me for a raw member spotlight that moves from early faith formation to a brutal hospital season marked by sepsis, emergency surgeries, and the kind of wilderness questions that test what you really believe about God’s presence.

| 672. Cultivate: Growing The Fruit Of The Spirit In Your Everyday Life With Dr. Richard Kannwischer | 15 Apr 2026 | 00:55:56 | |
Most of us want to grow, but we keep grading our faith with the wrong scorecard. Instead of asking how many “Christian things” we did this week, we’re taking a hard look at the question that actually shapes a man’s life: who am I becoming? Pastor and author Dr. Richard Kannwischer joins us to unpack why the fruit of the Spirit is the clearest marker of real spiritual maturity, and how God forms love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in ordinary men.

Your field is telling the truth, whether you like it or not. We open up Proverbs 28:19 and bring it straight into the real world where Christian men live: your health, your leadership, your habits, your marriage, and your walk with God. When outcomes disappoint us, it’s easy to reach for an external explanation and sometimes we even dress it up as spiritual warfare. But here’s the gut check: we have to stop blaming the enemy for what we refuse to own. We are excited to be speaking at Mountain Life Church in Park City Utah on June 20th.

If you’ve ever felt that tug of wanting more from God while also holding back to keep control, you’re not alone, and you’re not stuck.

Chris Grainger sits down with long-time member Dave Watt for a Friday Member Spotlight that starts in small-town Canada, runs through ski resorts and world travel, and lands in Florida with a growing real estate business and a bigger question beneath the success: what does it mean to actually follow Jesus as a man?

| 666. Unleash The Rage Of Negative Emotions With Greg Stewart | 01 Apr 2026 | 00:58:02 | |
Most leadership breakdowns don’t start with a big moral failure, they start with a small, fast reaction. I sit down with counselor and author Dr. Greg Stewart to unpack a simple framework that can change how we lead as Christian men: i3, which stands for information, interpretation, and intensity. The core challenge is blunt: stop forming loud opinions and hot emotions before you’ve earned the right to speak by getting the facts.

Sitting on the sidelines feels safe until you realize it is slowly shrinking your faith. We open 2 Timothy 2:2 and let it confront a pattern we see everywhere among Christian men: watching, consuming, and staying “busy” while avoiding real engagement, real brotherhood, and real responsibility. Paul’s charge to Timothy is not abstract leadership theory. It’s a baton pass designed to multiply disciples who multiply disciples, one faithful man at a time.

Anchored by Romans 12:21, we trace how a short fuse softened into ownership, how secrecy around porn gave way to accountability, and how daily habits—not hype—build the kind of leadership that lasts at home.

Anger can feel like a fire we can’t name—hot, fast, and costly. We open the hood and trace the heat to what’s really going on beneath: fear, pride, insecurity, and the ache of not feeling needed. With Romans 12:21, Ephesians 4, James 1 and 4, and Mark 3 as our guide, we reframe anger from a weapon into a tool—an indicator light that points to deeper issues and an opportunity for growth in Christ.

We trace the real mechanics of being triggered—how the nervous system mistakes small threats for mortal danger, why our best communication tools vanish, and how both silence and aggression can be clever forms of control.

Pressure has a way of telling the truth. When a sharp comment, a hard day, or a tense look flips that internal switch, what comes out isn’t random—it’s the heart speaking. We open Proverbs 4:23 and walk through a clear, practical path for guarding your heart with diligence so what overflows under stress is wisdom and life, not wrath and wreckage.

| 652. Member Spotlight: Cameron Kauffman | 27 Feb 2026 | 00:15:51 | |
Feeling alone doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re human and paying attention. Today we sit down with Cameron Kauffman, a member whose path will feel familiar: early faith, a season of drift after high school, and then a return to church through marriage and community. What changed the game wasn’t more information; it was the right circle of men who traded vague encouragement for focused action and accountability.

| 651. I'm Just A Guy: Who Feels Alone | 25 Feb 2026 | 00:35:48 | |
Loneliness doesn’t always look like an empty room; sometimes it’s a full calendar and a hollow heart. We’re naming that ache out loud and shining Scripture on the lies that make it worse. Starting with Psalm 142 and John 8, we trace those shame-filled thoughts to their real source, then build a simple filter to test every idea about worth and identity: if it contradicts God’s Word, it’s a lie. From there, we share raw stories—missed meetings that became a spiral, friendships that went surface or silent, and the sting of rejection that can rattle a man’s sense of value.

| 650. Psalm 142:4 - Spiritual Kick Off | 23 Feb 2026 | 00:18:34 | |
Feeling invisible is more common than most men admit, and the silence can be brutal when it happens in the very places meant to heal us. We open Psalm 142 and talk plainly about the sting of being overlooked, the pull toward bitterness, and the slow grind of isolation that wears down courage. From hard personal experiences to hard-won hope, we trace a path from raw lament to real refuge, where God’s steady sight becomes the ground we stand on.

We sit down with Rob Williams—seasoned executive, devoted husband, and father—to unpack how a Christ-centered mastermind turned isolated effort into measurable, life-giving progress.

Pastor and author Craig Thompson joins us to reframe the fight: stop battling your spouse and start warring for your family.

Men don’t need more noise; we need brothers who show up. Chris sits down with John Rogers to trace a surprisingly relatable path: a tough year, a big move, a gym next to a church, and the discovery that small, steady community can change everything. John shares how daily Scripture, honest conversation, and a tight mastermind group helped him lead with courage at home and at work—without adding pressure or pretense.

| 645. Blame Jesus With Drew Parker | 11 Feb 2026 | 01:10:57 | |
A prayer for clarity. A 3 a.m. wake-up call. A career pivot no one saw coming. Drew Parker sat atop a decade of hard-won Nashville success—Grammy and CMA nods, stadium tours with Luke Combs, a label pushing singles at country radio—yet the joy faded when the lights went down. Wrestling with frustration and purpose, he asked God to speak so clearly that denial would be impossible. Five days later, his unbelieving manager called, shaken by nights of being jolted awake with one message: you’re supposed to sing about Jesus.

A skeptical young husband sits on a pastor’s office floor, reads a passage, and finds the kind of faith that changes a life. That simple, humble start turns into decades of service: deep mentorship in a small church, ministry training, and a leap across the world to plant house churches in post-Soviet Ukraine. Along the way come cold trains, open-air markets, a tense meeting with the local mafia leader, and the unmistakable thread of provision that follows obedience. The mission stays clear: equip locals to reach their neighbors, trust God over comfort, and measure impact by fruit that remains.
