S2E5: Provide vs. Presence: What it Actually Means to Live on Mission


Listen Later

What’s the mission of a man today?

In this episode, we’re talking about work, identity, marriage, and why so many men are tired, isolated, and burned out. Drawing from Scripture and cultural insights, we break down what it means to live on mission — not just at your job, but in your family, your church, and your community.

We cover:

  • Why men are retreating into work (and what to do about it)
  • How culture has shifted masculinity over time
  • The pressure to provide vs. the call to be present
  • What a family mission actually looks like
  • How Nehemiah’s story offers a blueprint for modern men
  • You don’t have to choose between career and calling. You just need a kingdom perspective.

    📖 Scriptures: Nehemiah, Ephesians 5, Proverbs
