When we care deeply about someone, it’s easy to feel responsible for rescuing them.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to support people without trying to be their healer or the Holy Spirit in their lives.
How to recognize when a desire to help has become a rescuer identity.
What it means to ride shotgun with Jesus instead of taking the driver’s seat.

July 27 215. Unless you change.. Jesus' words to Men- Kindling Fire with Troy Mangum
What does it really mean to be a man?
Every culture has its own answer. The Greeks celebrated honor and glory. The Romans pursued power, status, and achievement. First-century Judaism carried its own expectations of masculinity. Today, modern culture offers everything from hustle culture to the Manosphere.
Then Jesus enters the conversation—and overturns them all.
Jesus consistently challenged the world's definition of strength, greatness, and success. His teachings confronted the values of every man’s definition with the challenge unless you change you will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.
In this episode I discuss:
* Compare Greek, Roman, and modern Manosphere culture vs. Jesus’ teaching
* What is taught about Honor
* How to handle shames
* Views of Humility
* How to achieve glory and immortality
* How the twelve disciples had radically different worldviews & how Jesus spoke against their worldviews
* What Jesus meant by becoming like a child (Matthew 18:1–4)
* The revolutionary nature of biblical humility (Matthew 23:12)
Ultimately, Jesus doesn't simply improve our existing ideas of masculinity—He replaces them with an entirely different kingdom. In His kingdom, greatness is found in humility, strength in surrender, leadership in service, and life through self-giving love.

February 12 210. How could I have been so GULLIBLE??- Shaun Bolz, Kris Vallotton, Bethel- The Kindling Fire with Troy Mangum
In last 2yrs there has been high-profile failures and church cover-ups involving Shaun Bolz, Paul Cain (KC Prophets), Kris Vallotton (Bethel), Mike Bickle (IHOP), and Bethel’s admission of wrongdoing that prioritized leaders over victims.
This episode doesn’t aim to re-expose facts already well documented elsewhere (links below)
Instead, I will focus on:
- How I became so gullible, what psychological need and drives made me susceptible to deception and manipulation within charismatic settings. Relevant to how you too could be manipulated.
- Explore Jeremiah 29 and his warning to prophecy recipients to stop encouraging “prophe-lying". We like hearing what we want they wanted to hear about ourselves and our circumstances.
- Warnings re: protecting your children’s from your own naivety re: unsafe charismatic environments
- Practical ways to become more discerning, with a Scripture-anchored plan to avoid future deception
Note: I remain theologically charismatic, but far more cautious and “hopefully” discerning in practice today.
