Every man feels it—but few talk about it. Pressure. The weight of providing for your family, showing up at home, keeping it together at work, and fighting the inner voice that says, “You’re not enough.”

In this kickoff episode of Strength Under Pressure, Alexx unpacks the real burdens men carry and points us to the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28–30: “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.”

You’ll hear:

• Why pressure itself isn’t the problem—it’s what we do with it.

• The story of Admiral James Stockdale and the “Stockdale Paradox” of strength under brutal reality.

• Practical ways to stop trying to carry it all alone and start walking in the strength Jesus offers.

This week’s challenge: Identify the top 3 weights you’re carrying right now—and invite Jesus into each one.

You weren’t built to be crushed. You were built to be carried.

You are in a fight that matters far beyond your own life.
