Most men want to leave a legacy—to know their life mattered and they made a real difference. But too often we think that comes through status, wealth, or reputation. In this episode of the Manhood Tribes Show, we explore a radically different path to impact: following Jesus as the ultimate model of manhood. Jesus shows us that true greatness doesn’t start by climbing higher but by going lower—embracing what’s known as the J Curve, a journey down into humility, suffering, and even death before rising into glory and purpose.

We talk about why every man carries wounds, how those wounds are often tied to the very place of his greatest calling, and why healing them is essential to living out the life God created you for. Through real-life stories and biblical wisdom, you’ll see how following Jesus transforms your identity, restores your purpose, and empowers you to leave a lasting mark—not through chasing fame, but through surrender and strength in Him.

If you’ve ever wondered how to become the man God designed you to be, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a roadmap for stepping into your true legacy.

Let’s be honest: a lot of men secretly wonder if following Jesus means becoming weak, soft, or less manly. Some even think being a Christian man makes you a pushover. But is that really the truth? In this episode of The Manhood Tribes Show, Don tackles the controversial question head-on: does following Jesus make you a “p*ssy”… or does it actually call you into a stronger, more courageous version of manhood?

We break down why modern culture — and even many churches — often portray Jesus as soft, meek, and fragile. But the real Jesus of the Gospels was anything but weak. He confronted corrupt authorities, spoke truth that sparked riots, endured brutal suffering with unshakable resolve, and sacrificed His life for the sake of others. That’s not weakness. That’s strength, courage, and manhood at its highest level.

If you’ve ever struggled with the idea that Christianity makes men passive, or wondered how following Jesus fits with being strong, bold, and respected, this conversation will give you a whole new vision of biblical masculinity. You’ll discover that Jesus was not only holy and humble — He was also fearless, powerful, and fiercely manly. Following Him doesn’t diminish your masculinity; it refines and elevates it.

In a time when women were often ignored, undervalued, or treated as second-class citizens, Jesus stood apart. His interactions with women in the Gospels were radical for His culture — yet perfectly aligned with God’s design. In this episode of The Manhood Tribes Show, we explore how Jesus treated women with respect, honor, and dignity, and what that means for every Christian man today.

You’ll see how Jesus spoke directly to women when others refused to, defended their worth in public when they were shamed, and invited them into His mission and ministry. His example dismantled cultural prejudices without compromising biblical truth — showing men how to lead, protect, and love women in a way that reflects the heart of God.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible really says about respecting women, how Jesus balanced truth and grace, or what Christian manhood looks like in relationships, this episode will give you a clear and powerful model to follow. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or mentoring the next generation, Jesus sets the standard for how men should treat women.

When most people hear “lead like Jesus,” they think servant leadership. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode of The Manhood Tribes Show, we break down three powerful leadership traits of Jesus that go far beyond the usual church talk — and show you how they can transform the way you lead at home, at work, and in your community.

You’ll learn:
 - Why servant leadership alone doesn’t capture the full picture of Jesus’ leadership style
 - How Jesus empowered His followers to carry His mission
 - Why His love for people was the secret to lasting loyalty
 - How His sacrificial leadership set the ultimate standard for men to follow

If you’ve ever asked yourself “What does the Bible say about leadership?” or “How can I lead like Jesus in my everyday life?” — this is the practical, straight-talk guide you’ve been looking for.

Do you think masculinity is a good thing or a bad thing? In today’s culture, masculinity gets all kinds of labels — from toxic masculinity to woke masculinity, MAGA masculinity, feminist masculinity, and more. It’s no wonder so many men feel lost trying to figure out what it really means to be a strong, reliable man today.

In this episode of The Manhood Tribes Show, we break down the three major categories of masculinity and explain why only one offers a truly fulfilling and meaningful way forward. If you’ve ever wondered where Jesus fits into the conversation about manhood, you’re in the right place — because He is the ultimate example of real masculinity.

We’ll discuss how toxic masculinity misuses strength and honor, why woke masculinity misses the mark, and how biblical masculinity — rooted in the five marks of manhood (strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance) — sets a powerful and inspiring standard for men to follow.

What does the Bible really say about being a man?
Many churches reduce “biblical masculinity” to being a good husband and father. While those roles matter, they’re not the full story. In this episode, discover a bigger, bolder vision of manhood rooted in the life of Jesus Himself.

We break down the 5 Marks of Manhood—Strength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegiance—and reveal how Jesus embodied each one. You’ll learn why the last two marks, Honor and Allegiance, are crucial to living as a godly man, building strong brotherhood, and staying loyal to your true calling.

If you’ve ever felt out of place in church conversations about masculinity, this episode will reframe the discussion and give you a vision of manhood that challenges and inspires—whether you’re single, married, a father, or not.
