Tired of the "Suck it Up" Christian Men's Message? Pastor Mickey Eckles (Trinity Church) discusses his new book, Not Your Average Guy, offering 10 simple choices for biblical manhood rooted in integrity, strength, and service. Learn the single habit that statistically drops pornography use by 61%.

This episode is a kickstart for the average guy who wants to be a godly man but doesn't know where to start. Dr. Skelton and Pastor Eccles break down the difference between cultural masculinity and biblical manhood . You will learn: The Power of Process: Why focusing on "just starting" (in faith, health, or marriage) is more important than perfection. The Fear of God: Why "fear" is reverence and respect (like admiring an athlete's greatness), not being afraid of a harsh father. Neuroscience Meets Scripture: Why reading God's Word literally changes your neurochemistry, reducing reliance on dopamine hits from pornography or alcohol (backed by compelling research statistics). Living Spirit-Filled: Understanding the power of the Holy Spirit as power under the hood of a Corvette—are you living in the fullness of the power available to you? The 4-Day Habit: The incredible statistics showing how reading the Bible just four days a week drops anger issues (32%) and alcoholism (57%). Defining Manhood: The biblical definition of manhood: Protecting, providing, and living with moral integrity, rather than cultural signifiers (trucks or seating arrangements). Pastor Eccles' book is a friendly guide to stop groveling and start leading. To continue your journey in balanced health, check out Dr. Skelton's courses at livelifewellclinic.com. Don't Forget!
