Play The Man: The Bridge

In this episode of Play the Man, Pastor Craig sits down with Pastor Cub to talk honestly about his journey from struggling with pornography to finding freedom—and the bold steps he took along the way.

They also unpack a deeper issue many men face: bringing our core questions—“Am I loved?” and “Do I have what it takes?”—to women and expecting them to answer those questions for us. When we look to a woman to validate our identity or prove our worth, we place a weight on her she was never designed to carry.

Instead, God calls us to find our identity and strength in Him, pursue purity, and bring that strength into our relationships. This conversation challenges men to stop looking to women for validation and instead become men who pursue them with strength, purity, courage, and God-given purpose.

In this first episode of Play The Man, Pastor Darik and Pastor Craig break down the 30-Day Play The Man Challenge and talk about what it looks like to step up and show up as men of God. They walk through the purpose behind the challenge, share practical insights, and offer encouragement for the journey ahead.

Are you ready to grow spiritually, relationally, mentally, or physically? This episode will help you start the challenge with purpose and determination.

Be watchful. Stand firm in the faith. Act like men. Be strong. — 1 Corinthians 16:13
