In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins unpack Voddie Baucham’s powerful framework for manhood — the billfold, the ballfield, and the bedroom.

They expose how the world measures men by money, performance, and pleasure — and how Christ redeems each realm for dominion, stewardship, and covenant faithfulness. Drawing from Scripture and It’s Good to Be a Man by Michael Foster, this conversation calls men to repent, rebuild, and lead households that reflect the glory of God.

If you want to understand what biblical masculinity looks like in real life — in your wallet, your work, and your marriage — this one’s for you.

00:00 – Intro: “Men are praised for softness and mocked for strength.”

As the world turns up the cheer for Christmas, many believers quietly walk through deep valleys of sadness, anxiety, and depression—especially during the winter and holiday season. In this sobering and hope-filled episode, Brandon and Nick confront the “dark secret of the church”—the unspoken reality of depression among the saints.

Rooted in Psalm 42, the hosts draw from Scripture, church history, and pastoral experience to give comfort and clarity to those who are suffering, and practical counsel for walking in the light when the soul is cast down.

This is not self-help. This is not fluff. This is the real, reformed, Christ-centered conversation the church needs.

00:00 – Intro: Why Christians feel conflicted during the holidays

Psalm 42:11 (ESV) – "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God."

James 1

Romans 8:28

Psalm 23

Job

2 Corinthians 4

Every Thanksgiving we remember turkey, football, and family but behind the sanitized Hallmark version lies a covenant people who risked everything to build a Christian community under Christ’s lordship. In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick and Pastor Brandon dig into the real story of the Pilgrims, the myth of neutrality, and the modern cultural war over the term Christian Nationalist.

Were the Pilgrims the first Christian nationalists?

This episode brings Scripture, covenant theology, and church history straight to the Thanksgiving table — with urgency, clarity, and some humor along the way.

Most Christians don’t think about legacy planning until it’s too late. In this powerful episode, attorney Samuel Johnson joins Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter to walk through biblical wealth building, estate and legacy planning, child custody, trusts, Christian business formation, and how to protect your assets for future generations.

Raised on a farm in Michigan and now leading a legal practice in Alabama, Samuel shares his inspiring journey—from logger and denture craftsman to law school and clerking for a Supreme Court justice. With clarity and conviction, he shows why dominion-minded Christians must plan ahead—not just for their own security, but for the flourishing of their household and future generations.

From smuggling nuns in barrels to building a household that doubled as a seminary, this episode dives deep into how biblical patriarchy, family worship, and dominion living shaped the Reformation—and why it's more relevant than ever.

👉 Whether you're a husband, a mother, or someone longing to build a godly household, this episode equips you with vision and practical theology for reforming your own home.

“Everywhere you look, there’s anxiety.”

Together they trace Martin Luther’s storm vow, his awakening to the gospel of grace, and the courage that enabled him to stand before emperors and change history.

In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins wrestle with the seismic events shaking our nation — from the assassination of Charlie Kirk to the tragic church attack in Michigan — and ask a vital question: Are we witnessing true revival or just another emotional reaction?

What if your greatest mission field isn’t overseas—but right at your dinner table?
