Character, Dying to Self in Marriage + Modeling Biblical Manhood (Interview with Kirk Cameron)


Listen Later

This week, Brook sits down with actor, author, and producer Kirk Cameron for a powerful conversation about faith, marriage, and what it means to live as a man of God.


While many remember Kirk from his prominent roles in the Growing Pains TV series and the Left Behind films, his story goes far beyond the screen. He shares how a shift from atheism to Christianity as a teenager altered the trajectory of his life, leading him to become a devoted husband, father of six, and now a grandfather.


We talk about Kirk’s new kids’ show, Iggy and Mr. Kirk, streaming on BRAVE+, created to offer low-stimulation, character-focused content in a world full of noise.


Kirk also shares rich wisdom on marriage, describing it as “a school you enroll in to learn how to die to yourself.” He challenges the cultural narrative that marriage is about happiness, reframing it as a path to holiness and covenantal love. Kirk dropped this memorable alliteration when it comes to marriage: “If you focus on rights, you’ll promote rebellion. But if you focus on responsibilities, you create the conditions for revival.”


The episode closes with a meaningful reflection on biblical manhood — how to model it for our sons, even if we didn’t have it modeled for us. Kirk points to meekness as a defining trait: strength and power, willingly submitted to the authority of God.


This episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and clarity for anyone striving to live and lead with purpose. Don’t miss it!
