When inflation is wild, your account is overdrafted, and your mind is heavy, how does a man stand strong? In this episode of The Classic Man Podcast (Ep. 13) we talk about dating while broke, building FU money, multiple bank accounts, gold & crypto, protecting kids, and battling depression season.

We get real about:

• How the Army bonus delay forced borrowing just to survive
• Why most homes have less than $1500 in the bank – and what to do about it
• Setting up multiple accounts so your bills don’t destroy your paycheck
• Why every man should carry cash, hold precious metals, and think about EM emergencies
• Why you shouldn’t be dating or getting married if your finances are chaos
• Ministering outside the church walls – in the gym, in the streets, with real people
• Protecting children and why Jesus had the harshest words for those who hurt them
• Suicide, grief, and the reality of seasonal depression – and how to watch for warning signs

If you’re a man trying to lead, protect, and provide – spiritually, mentally, and financially – this conversation is for you.

What happens when modern men face old wounds? In this raw, no-filter conversation, the Classic Man crew digs into triggers, trauma responses, healthy masculinity, spiritual warfare, and real accountability. We talk faith without confusion (God is not the author of it), free will, intercession, and why “ask and you shall receive” is more than a quote — it’s a playbook. We get honest about fatherhood, relationships, domestic violence, communication gaps (yes, the Waffles vs. Spaghetti model), and practical ways to choose joy, build self-control, and lead with love. If you’ve ever felt stuck between feelings and faith, this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

• How confusion creeps in and how to anchor in truth
• What “ask, seek, knock” looks like in real life for men today
• Practical tools to de-escalate triggers, set tone, and communicate without attacking character
• Why accountability + discipline unlock peace, purpose, and provision
• The difference between reacting and responding — and how to switch gears fast
