🎙️ The Olive Effect Unfiltered | Episode Title: A Man Worth Following – Leadership Rooted in Christ, Not Control


In a culture that swings between criticizing masculinity and glorifying dominance, this episode gently calls us back to God’s original design: leadership that reflects the heart of Christ.


Join Susie as she redefines what it means to be a “man worth following,” stepping away from buzzwords like toxic masculinity and instead exploring biblical masculinity, strong yet gentle, firm yet full of grace.


🕊 Discover the difference between the Alpha Male and the Authoritarian Spirit, and why Jesus redefines leadership through humility, sacrifice, and servant-hearted love.


💪 We unpack:


Why “alpha” doesn’t have to mean aggressive

What healthy male leadership looks like in marriage and the home

How Christ-like strength protects without controlling

The traits that truly make a man respected and worth following

This isn’t just about dating or marriage, it’s about discipleship, spiritual maturity, and raising up men who lead like Jesus.


✨ For the woman seeking godly leadership in her life, or the man longing to be a reflection of Christ in a confused world, this episode is for you.

💗 “Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14
