In this BraveCo live Q&A, I sit down with a few brave men who ask the questions most guys keep to themselves. We talk about what it really looks like to lead as a single dad, how to know if you are actually ready to date again after divorce, and how to invite someone into your family without sacrificing your kids in the process. I share my own story of betrayal, navigating divorce and eventually blending a family, and the difference between simply “moving on” and truly “moving forward.”

We also dive into one of the most vulnerable questions a husband can ask: “What do I do when I am not as attracted to my wife after kids?” Together we unpack how bodies change, how life stress and kids affect desire, and why emotional and spiritual connection are often the real drivers of attraction in a long term marriage. I give practical ways to pursue your wife’s heart again, rebuild connection, and invite her into a health journey without shaming her or shutting down.

Finally, we talk about unity in the Church and how to bring pastors and leaders together across denominations for prayer and real relationship. I share how I think about influence, trust and momentum, and give some simple steps to start gathering leaders in your city without it becoming weird, political or divisive. If you are a man who wants to lead your family well, love your wife deeply and stand for your city with other believers, this conversation will speak directly to you.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

I sat down with my brother and longtime friend Cole Zick, we found ourselves wrestling with one question: What’s the role of a man in a world that seems to be falling apart? From mass shootings to moral confusion, we’re watching violence rise in ways that test our faith, courage, and leadership. This conversation isn’t about politics — it’s about calling men back to their God-given design to protect, heal, and lead with emotional and spiritual maturity.

In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into what real protection looks like — not just carrying a weapon, but cultivating the emotional composure to de-escalate conflict, protect your family, and lead your community with integrity. We talk about how unhealed pain fuels chaos, how churches can prepare wisely without fear, and why it’s time for men to master both strength and tenderness.

This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a wake-up call to become the kind of men the world actually needs right now — men who carry wisdom, humility, and power under control. Stick around to the end; I share a personal story that’ll make you laugh and think about what courage really looks like when your family’s on the line.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

I sit down with my friend Stephen De Silva, creator of The Prosperous Soul and former CFO at Bethel Church. We talk about something most men never realize — that our financial struggles are rarely about money. They’re about what’s happening inside our hearts and minds. Stephen helps us unpack the connection between the soul and wealth, revealing how your mindset and theology can either limit or multiply what God wants to do in your finances.

I share a bit of my own story — moments when I thought “we just need more money,” but the truth was, I hadn’t planted any new seeds. There was no stewardship, no multiplication, just waiting for a miracle. Stephen challenges that mindset head-on, teaching how to align our internal world with the mind of Christ, and how to grow capacity through protection, provision, and identity. We talk practicals too: creating multiple streams of income, overcoming fear around money, and learning to be both shrewd as a serpent and innocent as a dove.

If you’ve ever felt stuck financially or wondered how to build true prosperity that lasts for generations, this conversation will light a fire in you. Whether you’re trying to climb out of debt, launch a new income stream, or teach your kids how to steward money God’s way, this is your roadmap to becoming a man who prospers from the inside out.

When I sat down with my friend @RyanPineda , I knew this episode was going to be packed with truth, but I didn’t expect the level of raw honesty and practical wisdom he brought. Ryan’s story starts where a lot of us have been—broke, uncertain, and wondering what God’s plan really looks like when the dream we’ve been chasing falls apart. From playing professional baseball to flipping couches just to survive, Ryan shows what it looks like when faith collides with grit.

Connect with Ryan: https://ryanpineda.com/

What I love about this conversation is how real Ryan is about risk, failure, and obedience. He talks about maxing out $50,000 in credit cards to flip his first house—trusting that if it didn’t work out, God would still provide. That decision became a turning point, birthing multiple businesses, social-media influence, and a mission to raise up Kingdom entrepreneurs through Tentmakers. His success didn’t come from playing it safe; it came from partnering with God and being willing to move even when it didn’t make sense.

If you’ve ever felt stuck—financially, spiritually, or emotionally—this episode will challenge you to take inventory of your skill set, your mindset, and your faith. We talk about how to identify the next skill that will multiply your income, how to break the fear of risk, and how obedience always leads to blessing. This one’s for every man who knows there’s more in him, but just needs the courage to take that next step.

Welcome back to the Brave Co Podcast, men. This week, we're diving into an essential topic that can transform your life: wealth and prosperity. For so many of us, the idea of wealth might have been twisted through negative experiences, bad teachings, or a lack of understanding. We’ve all heard that money is the root of evil, but what does the Bible really say about wealth? Is there a difference between greed and prosperity? In this episode, we’re not just talking about the financial side of prosperity, but also the deeper, spiritual aspects of wealth. Wealth, according to scripture, isn’t just money—it’s a mindset and a way of living that affects every part of who you are.

As I talk with my dad, Kris Vallotton, we break down the real meaning of wealth in God's eyes and how to shift your mindset. We also explore the importance of having a clear plan for your financial future, as well as a powerful perspective on stewardship and generosity. One of the key takeaways from today’s episode is the need to embrace prosperity in every area of life—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Prosperity isn’t just about accumulation; it’s about freedom, peace, and the ability to bless others. God wants to partner with you in building wealth, but first, you must learn to steward it well and let go of limiting beliefs that have held you back.

In this conversation, we tackle the practical side of prosperity. From giving generously to understanding how money works for you (and not the other way around), we lay out actionable steps to start building wealth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of scarcity, this episode is for you. We're going to help you break free from those limiting mindsets and start living in the abundance God has designed for you. Take the first step today toward transforming your mindset, finances, and life. Get ready to dive in!

In this episode of the BraveCo podcast, we kick off our wealth and prosperity series with Chad Frantzen, founder and CEO of WealthBuilders Investments and the host of the Kingdom Finance Show podcast, who shares his journey from trading time for money to mastering financial freedom. Together, we explore practical steps, biblical principles, and mindset shifts every man needs to build a legacy for his family and the kingdom.

Chad dives deep into the difference between exchanging time for money versus value for money, breaking poverty mindsets, and creating multiple streams of income. We discuss how to create simple, effective financial plans, the power of leveraging assets, and how small, consistent steps can lead to big results. I also share personal stories from my own journey, including how I faced financial reckoning, the importance of mentorship, and the practical strategies my wife and I used to scale our income and impact.

If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start stewarding what God has entrusted to you, this episode is for you. We talk about intellectual property, investing with kingdom values, cultivating humility, and teaching our children the principles of stewardship and delayed gratification. No matter where you are in your financial journey, there’s a next step you can take today to build tomorrow. Join us as we uncover the mindset, habits, and strategies that set wise men apart from the average guy.

In this powerful message from the Brave Co. Conference, I dive into the life of David, exploring the incredible journey from being an unseen shepherd to a king chosen by God. If you've ever felt overlooked or underappreciated, this message is for you. We’ll examine the life lessons David teaches us about faithfulness when no one is watching, trusting God’s perfect timing, and how God chooses the least likely to succeed.

I share a raw, personal reflection of my own high school days, feeling overlooked and not fitting into the mold of success others expected of me. Just like David, I didn’t look the part, but I’ve learned that it’s not about how we appear to others—it’s about being faithful in the moments that matter, even when no one is watching. God sees the heart, and that’s what He’s looking for in you.

As we journey through David’s life, we also confront the lessons of insecurity, fear, and pride. Saul’s story of anointing with the flask contrasts sharply with David’s anointing with the horn, symbolizing a process of perseverance and obedience. God isn’t after instant success or popularity; He’s after a heart that’s been tested, shaped, and ready to carry His anointing into the kingdom. This episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing, remain faithful through the seasons of life, and believe that God sees you, even when you feel unseen.

This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most important callings we have as men: becoming the anchor in the middle of life’s storms. A few years ago, my wife and I walked through the devastating loss of her mom, and in the middle of grief, chaos, and family challenges, I had to learn what it meant to show up differently. Not to fix everything, but to become the steady presence my family could rely on.

Being the anchor doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means learning to reprioritize, to shift from self-focus to family-focus, and to build emotional safety in your home. I share the hard lessons I learned in that season, the sacrifices I had to make, and the mindset shifts that helped me walk through it with strength and faith.

If you’re in the middle of financial struggles, relational challenges, or even spiritual battles, this message is for you. You don’t have to solve every problem overnight—but you can choose to be the steady force your family needs. In this episode, I’ll give you practical steps to reset your priorities, bring peace into your home, and step into the role God has called you to as a man.

In this powerful episode of the BraveCo Podcast, Jason dives deep into the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk and the impact it has on men and society today. As a man of faith and experience, Jason shares his raw emotions, reflecting on the loss of a fearless truth-teller who stood up for freedom and faith in the face of hate. This episode is not just about mourning the loss of Charlie Kirk, but about what it means for men to stand up in a time when masculinity is being shamed, truth is under attack, and the world feels more volatile than ever.

Jason challenges men to reflect on their own lives and the role they play in the battle for truth. He emphasizes that it’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines and to fully engage in the mission God has given each of us. Whether it’s through being a strong leader in your family, standing for what’s right in your community, or defending truth in the face of opposition, this podcast calls men to rise up and take action. It’s not about making noise online—it’s about living with integrity, purpose, and boldness in every area of life.

Finally, Jason highlights the importance of getting back to the basics—immersing ourselves in Scripture, taking on the armor of God, and preparing ourselves for the spiritual battles we face every day. Charlie Kirk’s life serves as a wake-up call, reminding us that we’re all in a fight for truth, faith, and morality. Now is the time for men to step up, and this episode serves as a clarion call for every man to take responsibility for his role in the kingdom of God.
