In this 3rd of a 4-part series on Fight Club you’re going to hear from Rich Pantusa, Geoff Smith and Ward Dow as they share the surprising impact a simple campfire fellowship has had on them over time. 

We reveal how the secret sauce to true transformation is rooted in two things: Your identity as son + belonging to an authentic community. Set your compass to find those two things and you will begin to get your heart and strength back.

Every man needs a place to step off the front lines and a group of men to share their stories with, but those can be hard to find. In this part 2 of a 4 part conversation we share more about the model of Fight Club for meeting men's need for authentic masculine community. We explore the rules of fight club, the flow of fight club and the desperate need for it in this hour. 

For over 5 years now, once a month Jay has lit a fire in his side yard, filled a cooler with drinks and invited men to join him to explore and seize, together, the life Jesus promised. It's become one of the more significant catalysts of personal growth for the men who make the mid-week trek. Small communities like this are desperately needed in this hour. Join Jay and Rich as they kick off a 4-part series about Fight Club. What is it? Why does it work? And why is it so badly needed?

In this episode we continue our education on hearing God's voice with mentor Cayce Harris who leads us through some very practical connection exercises we can do anytime. In addition we explore these realities: 1. You already hear God’s voice, 2. When you get stuck Jesus will always show up, 3. Breathing is prayer, and 4. God is Father. And Mother. We need both.

Buckle up. This is good.

Does God speak? And will He speak to me? There may be nothing more helpful or more opposed than a conversational intimacy with God. It's no surprise why people are divided on whether this is actually available, and to whom.  In this interview Jay asks Cayce Harris, the Executive Director of a ministry that specializes in equipping people to hear the still, small voice of God, how to do it. She shares her story, the theology of hearing God and the common obstacles she's been helping people overcome for more than 2 decades to help them walk in life-giving connection with Him.  This 2 part interview will finish with prayer to help us all practice discerning how God responds when we engage Him. Buckle up. This is good.

What's in a name? And what does it do for a man to hear God speak his name? In this conversation Jay and Rich share stories about the bestowing of our true identities through our names. Sometimes God gives us a new name and sometimes we hear our familiar name in a new way. In any case, a man doesn't walk away unchanged. Near the end of this episode we ask God the question every man longs to have answered, "God, how do you see me?"

But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine." - Isaiah 43:1

In part 2 of this 2 part conversation Jay Heck and Morgan Snyder continue to discuss the brilliant way God shapes a man to be trustworthy with His Kingdom. A powerful life is grown through our willingness to increasingly risk more on God to come through. That's why the journey to kingship must start by believing God is our loving, deeply devoted Father who can be trusted with everything. God is not preparing us to do hard things. Our preparation is so that with God we will do impossible things. 

Jay Heck and Morgan Snyder, kingdom shaper and author of the new book "Becoming a King", discuss what all men want but few can handle: POWER. It's God's desire for man to have power, but for the good of the world that power must be rooted in character, and that character rooted in Sonship. This is part 1 of 2.

Jay and Rich discuss a vision God gave Jay for his personal masculine journey years ago and how it's made following God into the unknown much easier.

Could it be that Jesus became the most influential man in human history because He was simply better than anyone else at practicing reality? Last episode Rich and I wrestled with one of the many stories where Jesus was required to cling to truth in a situation that suggested the truth may not really be the truth. This week Rich and I share some of our own stories of ways Jesus leadership in living in this unseen reality of sonship has proven God to be a better author of our stories than we are.
