On today's episode, Dean and Jordan share some exciting news. The Impactus Podcast is entering a new season, one that we believe will make an even greater impact on men's lives.

Dean Brenton is joined by Jordan Harnum and Dr. Chris Walker as they come together to create a podcast that is practical, theologically grounded, and deeply relevant to the real questions men are asking today.

We're also moving to a fresh new rhythm—releasing episodes twice a month, on the first and fifteenth. That means more consistent encouragement and more opportunities for men to grow in their walk with Christ.

In this episode, Dean and Jordan give a behind-the-scenes look at what's changing, what's staying the same, and what listeners can expect as they step into this exciting next chapter.

This is the final episode of the Impactus Young Man's Podcast as we get ready for a new direction.

We're closing this chapter and preparing to launch a brand-new podcast this fall with a new format, new voices, and the same heart to help men follow Jesus in every area of life.

To wrap things up, Jordan looks back on some of the most powerful conversations we've had, that focused on one of the most important topics for men today: fatherhood and discipleship at home.

Conversation with Jordan's Dad A personal and honest look at why your own walk with God is the foundation for leading your kids. Before you disciple your children, you need to let God shape you.

Conversation with Andrew Wood This clip focuses on building spiritual rhythms in the home and making church a regular part of family life even when it feels inconvenient.

Conversation with Justin Whitmel Earley Author of Habits of the Household, Justin shares how everyday routines like bedtime and walks can become sacred moments that shape our kids. The goal is not to do more, but to be more intentional with what is already happening.

Conversation with Chris Walker Chris highlights how to make the most of everyday teachable moments. He challenges dads to ask better questions, model wisdom, and help their kids grow into people who obey Jesus from the heart.

Whether you're a new dad, expecting your first, or mentoring the next generation, this episode will equip and encourage you.

Be sure to follow the new Impactus Podcast, launching this September, hosted by Jordan, Dean Brenton, and Chris Walker. We'll continue having honest and helpful conversations for men of all ages.

For men who have experienced the "stop and start" cycle of habit building, Chris offers encouragement and a 6 Step process to ensure your new habits stick around for good. 6 Habits Suggested in the Book:

In this episode Jordan unpacks lessons from the recent Impactus Men's Conference in Brampton, Ontario. The theme of the conference was "Rooted". Did you know the deepest roots extend 1,200 feet underground? Or that the mighty redwoods have shallow roots but gain strength by intertwining with others? These fascinating examples reflect the central question we explored: What does it look like for a man to be rooted?

Above the surface, men often show their hard work, leadership, and care for others. But what about beneath the surface—the parts of our lives no one sees?

In this episode you will hear Jordan's thoughts on three key moments from the event. They include: 1. Finu Iype on Being Rooted in Christ – Learn why rooting your life in Jesus means removing idols and trusting in Him as your firm foundation. Discover why "everyone worships," and how misplaced worship can eat you alive. 2. Dustin Boreland on Being Rooted in Truth – Explore how to anchor yourself in Scripture amid cultural confusion and spiritual warfare. Hear his warning: The devil roars loud but roams quietly. 3. Dwayne Cline on Being Rooted in Justice – Be stirred to action as he challenges us to engage with the brokenness around us, moving beyond judgment to bring God's justice to a hurting world.
