Some prisons are made of steel. Others are made of suffering.

Every man will face a season he cannot escape — illness, loss, loneliness, betrayal, or hardship. The question is not how to escape… but how to endure without losing yourself.

In this episode, we examine how men like Viktor Frankl, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Admiral James Stockdale, the Apostle Paul, and John Bunyan survived prison — and even emerged stronger.

You’ll learn the key patterns that help men endure hardship, including:

• Accepting reality fully

• Narrowing your focus to today

• Building structure and discipline

• Connecting with God and others

• Continuing to grow

• Finding meaning in suffering

Prison strips away illusion. It reveals who you really are. And if you belong to Christ, you are never alone in it.

This episode is for any man walking through suffering — and determined to come out stronger.
