  • In the grand theme of life, we are called to be great men. Throughout our journey, we encounter individuals of deep character and integrity, men who have realized their fullest potential. When we encounter such individuals, we aspire to emulate their virtues, desiring a life that mirrors their example. Yet, when we turn our gaze inward and reflect on our own lives amidst the constant struggle and the haze of uncertainty, grappling with our shortcomings and lack of motivation, we can easily succumb to discouragement and complacency. Today's episode unveils 8 pillars of strength and virtue, each building off the other to order your life to become the man you were created to be - a man of greatness.

  • Sin brings in its wake a barrage of emotional consequences and external damages. If the sin has long-term effects, we can feel substantial guilt and often shame for our failings and selfishness.

Today, we discuss how men either become weak or foolishly arrogant in response to the shame they experience. We want to make sure you understand the difference between guilt and shame, the benefits they can bring to your life, as well as tactics to consistently move forward.

  • Marriage is tough, it comes with incomparable joys, as well as intense sorrow. When two people, both fallen and broken, enter into a loving marriage they must expect struggles and sacrifices.

  • Today, John, Sam, and Devin have decided to delve into the two archetypes that shape every one of us and profoundly impact our existence. We have chosen these two archetypes due to the intricate interplay between them and how they mutually support and complete each other. God has created men to be a wellspring of power and positive change for the world, but that same power can also be harnessed for evil. Let's focus our attention on how these Christ-like images within us influence our lives and how we can harness them to triumph in life.
