Jesus Was Clear: Stop Looking for a Date
When it comes to the end times, most people just want a date. We want to crack the code and know exactly when Jesus is going to return. But Jesus is incredibly clear that nobody knows the day or the hour—not even Himself during His earthly ministry. He doesn't want us ready for a specific calendar date. He wants us ready for a lifestyle of faithfulness. In this episode, we kick off a study of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. We break down the massive difference between a "thief in the night" and a "faithful servant," why the main sin of Noah’s day was actually total unawareness, and why trying to keep watch as a lone wolf is a guaranteed strategy for failure. --------------------------------------------- 🌎 Download the Free Guide “The Final Countdown”: https://bit.ly/3R8cKZ0 10 Signs We’re Living in the Biblical End Times (And What Men Should Do About It) 🛡️ Join the Manhood Tribes Community: https://bit.ly/4y5lS1l Equipping Men for the End Times.

3 Religious Signs We're Running Out of Time
When we discuss the signs of the end times, we naturally focus on politics and economics. But today, we look at the most convincing reasons we are nearing the final season of human history. The real evidence isn't just about one-world governments or digital currencies. It is actually happening beneath the surface within the global religious landscape. In this episode, we unpack the final three prophetic signs: mass apostasy, the active preparations for Israel’s Third Temple, and the imminent completion of the Great Commission. These unique factors have never occurred simultaneously in history, and they indicate that our generation is knocking on the door of Christ's return. 🌎 Download the Free Guide “The Final Countdown”: https://bit.ly/3R8cKZ0 10 Signs We’re Living in the Biblical End Times (And What Men Should Do About It) 🛡️ Join the Manhood Tribes Community: https://bit.ly/4y5lS1l Equipping Men for the End Times.

Mass Deception, Moral Collapse, and the Knowledge Explosion | What's Really Coming
Have you stepped outside or looked at your phone lately? If so, you have probably felt a cultural atmosphere ripe with confusion and exhaustion. It feels like our culture has completely inverted good and evil. We are breathing in the toxic atmosphere of a collapsing society on the brink of the end times. In this episode, we look past the Hollywood tropes of meteors and explosions. Instead, we examine the actual cultural environment the Bible predicts for the last days. We break down three critical cultural signs: mass deception, extreme moral decay, and the unprecedented explosion of knowledge. We also outline exactly what kind of man you need to become to withstand this cultural erosion. ---------------------------------------------- 🌎 Download the Free Guide “The Final Countdown”: https://bit.ly/3R8cKZ0 10 Signs We’re Living in the Biblical End Times (And What Men Should Do About It) 🛡️ Join the Manhood Tribes Community: https://bit.ly/4y5lS1l Equipping Men for the End Times.

In this episode, we tackle the geopolitical signs of the Biblical end times—from the historic re-establishment of Israel to nuclear capability, state-controlled digital currencies, and the massive uptick in natural disasters.

Men Are Starving for This (And Churches Don't Get It)
Most men's ministry isn't failing because men don’t care. They’re failing because they’re missing what men actually need. After a series of conversations with leaders, coaches, and men in the trenches, a clear pattern emerged: men aren’t showing up for more content. They’re starving for something deeper. Connection. Challenge. Brotherhood. In this episode, we break down the biggest lessons from this series, and what needs to change if we actually want to reach men in our churches and communities. Because the truth is men are hungry right now. And it’s time to stop waiting and start leading. In this episode, we cover: - Why men need connection more than content - How churches are missing the mark (and how to fix it) - The role of challenge in helping men grow - Why men’s ministry is simpler than we make it - Why now is the time for men to step up and lead ------------------------------ 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ---------------------------- #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #ChristianMen #Leadership #Brotherhood Episode 083: Men Are Starving for This (And Churches Don't Get It) Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Men need connection, not more content 03:30 Why the church isn’t reaching men well 05:00 The power of challenge in men’s growth 06:30 Keep it simple: what actually works 07:00 Men are hungry right now 08:30 Stop waiting—start leading 11:00 What’s next: preparing men for uncertain times 14:00 Are we ready for what’s coming?

Most Men Fall Apart Because They're Alone | Larry Hagner
Most Christian men don’t fall apart because they’re weak. They fall apart because they’re alone. In this conversation with Larry Hagner (founder of The Dad Edge), we unpack a hard truth: when life hits—marriage issues, faith struggles, stress, disconnection—most men don’t have the brotherhood they need to handle it. Larry shares how his own life was headed toward divorce and dysfunction, and what changed everything wasn’t more effort. It was getting around other men who challenged him and showed him a better way. But beneath that story is a deeper issue most men ignore: isolation. This episode exposes why that’s so dangerous—and what it actually takes to change it. In this episode, we cover: - Why men wait until crisis hits before asking for help - How isolation leads to breakdown in marriage and family - The hidden loneliness—even among successful men and leaders - Why most men lack the skills to lead (and where that gap comes from) - What real brotherhood looks like—and how it changes everything ------------------------------ 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ------------------------------ #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #Brotherhood #ChristianMen #Isolation Episode 082: Most Men Fall Apart Because They're Alone | Larry Hagner Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:30 Larry’s story: from dysfunction to growth 06:00 The marriage path he thought he was destined for 10:00 Why most men don’t know how to lead 14:00 The skill gap: what men were never taught 18:00 Why men struggle without other men 22:00 The danger of waiting until crisis hits 27:00 Overwhelm, busyness, and modern family life 32:00 Why brotherhood changes everything 36:00 Generational impact: changing your family’s future 40:00 Final encouragement + challenge PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

Men Fall Apart Slowly—Not Because They're Broken, But Because They're Alone
Most men don’t fall apart overnight. They fall apart slowly… quietly… alone. In this conversation with Matt Davis (founder of Ministry Transitions), we unpack a hard truth: many Christian men hit crisis—not because they’re uniquely broken—but because they have no real brotherhood around them when life starts to crack. Matt shares his story of public failure, losing everything, and rebuilding his life from the ground up. But beneath the story is a deeper issue most men ignore: isolation. No one to be honest with. No one to carry the weight with. No one to step in before things go off the rails. This episode exposes why that’s so dangerous—and what it actually takes to change it. In this episode, we cover: - Why men often don’t see their own downfall coming - How isolation quietly leads to failure (in marriage, faith, and life) - Why having people around you isn’t the same as being known - The hidden loneliness of pastors and leaders - What real brotherhood looks like—and why you need it before crisis hits ----------------------------- 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ----------------------------- #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #Brotherhood #ChristianMen #Isolation Episode 081: Men Fall Apart Slowly—Not Because They're Broken, But Because They're Alone Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Matt’s story: when everything falls apart 05:00 Life after “day zero” 10:00 The real problem: isolation, not just failure 15:00 Why men expect too much from their wife (and too little from brotherhood) 20:00 Emotional disconnection and why men stay silent 24:00 The hidden loneliness of pastors 28:00 Why vulnerability feels unsafe for leaders 32:00 Choosing discomfort: the path to real connection 36:00 How to support a man in crisis 40:00 Final encouragement + challenge PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

Most Men's Ministries Struggle Because of This
Most men’s ministries struggle—and deep down, a lot of Christian men already know it. Low engagement. Little transformation. Frustrated leaders and disengaged men. So what’s actually going wrong? In this conversation with Kent Evans (Founder of Manhood Journey), we dig into the real reasons men’s ministry often fails—and it’s not what most people think. This episode is part of our series exploring men’s ministry, discipleship, and what it really takes to build strong, faithful men. Kent shares insights from years of working with fathers and men, and explains why the biggest issue isn’t programming—it’s something much deeper. We also talk about the pressure pastors feel, the responsibility men often avoid, and why everything ultimately comes back to your relationship with God’s Word. In this episode, we cover: - Why pastors often avoid or struggle with men’s ministry - The hidden pressure that keeps men from stepping up as leaders - Why blaming your church is the wrong starting point - The real root issue behind most men’s struggles (and how to fix it) - Why knowing Scripture changes everything for a man ---------------------------- 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ---------------------------- #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #ChristianMen #Leadership #Discipleship Episode 080: Most Men's Ministries Struggle Because of This Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Kent’s story and the start of Manhood Journey 06:00 Why men’s ministry resources are lacking 10:30 Why pastors struggle to lead men 15:30 Stop blaming your pastor (hard truth for men) 20:00 What real leadership in men’s ministry looks like 25:00 Why your first ministry is your home 30:00 Cultural shifts affecting men and families 33:30 The real problem: men don’t know Scripture 40:00 How to start engaging with God’s Word 43:00 Where to connect with Kent + final encouragement PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

The Isolation Epidemic Destroying Modern Men
In this conversation with Ryan Zook (President of Men of Iron), we dive deep into what actually works when it comes to forming men—and why most church models fall short. This episode is part of our series exploring men’s ministry, discipleship, and what it truly takes to form strong, faithful men. Ryan shares lessons from two decades of mentoring men and explains why one-on-one discipleship—not programs—is the key to real transformation. We also unpack why men today are more spiritually hungry than ever… yet more disconnected than ever. In this episode, we cover: - Why one-on-one mentorship is more effective than traditional men’s groups - The real reason churches struggle to disciple men - Why spiritual hunger is increasing even as church attendance declines - The epidemic of isolation among men—and how to solve it - How to start mentoring (even if you don’t feel qualified) ----------------------------- 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ----------------------------- #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #Mentorship #ChristianMen #Discipleship Episode 079: The Isolation Epidemic Destroying Modern Men Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 What Men of Iron does and why it matters 05:00 Why churches struggle with men’s discipleship 10:30 Why mentorship works better than programs 17:00 The shift in men today: hunger vs. church disengagement 20:30 The rise of isolation among men 26:00 How to start something (even without church approval) 33:30 Why you’re more qualified to mentor than you think 38:30 How to get connected with Men of Iron 41:30 Final encouragement + challenge PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

Why Churches Are Bad at Reaching Men
In this conversation with Chris Grainger (founder of The Lion Within Us), we continue our deep dive into men’s ministry and the broader men’s leadership space—exploring what it really takes to know how to disciple men and help them grow in their faith. Most churches say they want to reach men—but very few are actually doing it well. Chris shares his story of coming to faith without discipleship, the hard lessons that followed, and how that led him to build a thriving brotherhood of men across the world. We unpack the real struggles men are facing today—and why so many churches are missing them. In this episode, we cover: - The biggest struggles men are facing right now (pornography, marriage, and purpose) - Why most churches unintentionally fail to reach men - What men actually need instead of another Bible study - Why men grow best through challenge and brotherhood - How to step up and lead—even if you don’t feel qualified ----------------------------- 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ----------------------------- #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #Leadership #ChristianMen #Discipleship Episode 078: Why Churches Are Bad at Reaching Men Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 What The Lion Within Us is and how it started 05:00 Why men struggle to engage with scripture 09:00 The biggest challenges men are facing today 13:30 Why most churches miss men 18:30 What men actually need to grow 23:00 Building real brotherhood and community 27:00 Stories of transformation in men 31:00 Speaking truth and memorizing scripture 35:00 Encouragement for men who feel stuck 38:00 How to get connected with The Lion Within Us 40:00 Final thoughts and encouragement PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

Why Men Don’t Like Men’s Ministry (And What To Do About It)
The recent statistic that less than 10% of churches in America have an active mens ministry is quite surprising. As someone with experience in church leadership, I understand the challenges of running an effective mens ministry, yet it makes me question why this number is so low. This situation raises important questions about how we foster masculinity and faith within our communities. If you’ve ever felt like men’s ministry was awkward, boring, or just not worth your time, this will help you understand why—and what needs to change. We walk through the real reasons men disengage and how to build something they actually want to be part of: - Why most men’s ministries fail to attract and retain men - The difference between how men and women connect - Why social-based groups don’t work well for men - The role of challenge, action, and growth in male engagement - What men are actually looking for in a brotherhood - How to create a men’s ministry that men show up for ------------------------------------ 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ------------------------------------ #ManhoodTribes #MensMinistry #ChristianMen #MensGrowth #Masculinity ------------------------------------ Episode 076: Why Men Don’t Like Men’s Ministry (And What To Do About It) Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Why men’s ministry is so rare 02:30 Why most men’s groups feel awkward 04:00 The real problem: built for women, not men 06:30 The difference in how men and women connect 09:00 Why men need action, not just discussion 12:00 Challenge vs information: how men grow 14:00 Emotion vs trust in group environments 16:00 Why men “vote with their feet” 18:00 Why events don’t lead to long-term engagement 19:30 What actually works for men’s ministry 21:00 How to build something better PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?

Brian discusses his extensive 30-year career in the field, offering insights into personal development and growth.

Most men think becoming a better leader means pushing harder, performing better, and staying ahead of everyone else.

The Nuclear Family Model Is Broken—Here's Why

This episode will challenge how you see your role as a man and what you’re actually building with your life. 💪 If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more to family than just “raising kids and letting them go,” this will open your eyes to a bigger vision—and give you practical ways to start moving toward it: - Why the modern “nuclear family” is incomplete - The difference between a family and a family team - How identity is shaped by family, not just individuality - Why multi-generational vision creates purpose for men - Simple practices that can transform your family starting now ------------------------------ 📝 Take the Quiz: How Manly Are You? https://bit.ly/3Pfx7SA Find out how manly you really are and see where you stand compared to other men 📖 Get the Book: How To Be a Man https://amzn.to/4cm2epl Discover the 5 Marks of Manhood and start leading with strength and purpose ------------------------------ #ManhoodTribes #FamilyLeadership #Fatherhood #MensGrowth #Masculinity Episode 074: Family Leadership w/ Jeremy Pryor Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Meet Jeremy Pryor 03:00 Why family felt broken growing up 06:00 The “dad brigade” moment in Jerusalem 09:00 Abraham and the vision of family in Scripture 12:00 Individual identity vs family identity 15:00 The problem with the nuclear family model 18:00 What a “family team” actually is 21:00 Why men feel disconnected from family 24:00 The power of multi-generational thinking 27:00 Simple practices that build family culture 30:00 Casting vision as a father 33:00 Marriage as a romantic partnership and mission 36:00 Leading your wife and family well 39:00 What if you feel behind or it’s “too late”? 43:00 Staying connected with adult children 46:00 Building legacy starting now 48:00 Resources and where to start PS: Feeling like the world is getting crazier by the day, but you’re not sure what it all means?
