In this episode of the Dragon Slayers Podcast, Danny Silk and Ben Serpell unpack the second creed of the Dragon Slayers movement: “Men always set the standard of love. They never hate their enemy.” Together, they explore what it means to live from love—not just toward those closest to you, but even in moments of pain, disconnection, or conflict. Through teaching and real-time Q&A, this conversation calls men to rise above fear, pride, and self-protection and take responsibility for cultivating a legacy of connection, reconciliation, and covenant brotherhood.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why hate is never the appropriate response—even toward your enemy.
• The difference between spiritual strength and emotional self-protection.
• How love restores relationships and sets a new standard in masculinity.
• The importance of brotherhood, vulnerability, and staying connected in conflict.
• What it looks like to lead with love in marriage, parenting, and friendship.

Key Takeaways:

• Men set the emotional and relational tone of their families—by choosing love over fear, and connection over control.
• The fear of disconnection—not the fear of punishment—is what drives healthy repentance and reconciliation.
• Hate makes you weak, not strong. It is the opposite of covenant. Love, even in pain, is the path of strength.
• Brotherhood requires courage: showing up, speaking truth, and staying in relationship—even when it’s messy.
• The Dragon Slayers Creed is more than words—it’s a way of life that requires daily intention and accountability.
