There was a time I was more wreckage than man — controlling, insecure, emotionally shut down, and stuck in patterns that hurt the people I loved most.

But I didn’t stay there.

In this episode, I open up about what it means to rebuild from the ground up — to face your past, own your failures, and choose to become the man your family needs. Not the perfect man, but a present one. A faithful one. A man who shows up differently than he used to.

This is for the man who’s trying to grow… for the woman praying he does… and for anyone learning that healing is messy, but worth it.

There are seasons when it feels like our prayers hit the ceiling. When we open our Bibles and the words feel lifeless. When we ask, “God, where are You?” and all we get is silence. In this episode, I open up about what spiritual dryness really looks like — the frustration, the doubt, the disconnection — and how we can keep showing up in faith anyway.

We talk about why these dry seasons happen, what the Bible says about them, and how to anchor ourselves in truth when we don’t feel it. If you’re in a season where you’re tired, empty, or questioning everything — this one’s for you.

Even in silence, He’s still speaking. Even in stillness, He’s still moving. Don’t give up. Keep showing up.

Episode 1 – I’m Tired… But I’m Still Showing Up

In the first episode, we’re starting with the truth most men are afraid to say out loud: “I’m exhausted.” Not just physically—but emotionally, mentally, spiritually. This is for the dads, the husbands, the men who feel stretched thin but still keep showing up every day. I’ll talk about the weight we carry, the silence we sit in, and why showing up—tired, broken, or unsure—is still powerful.

Scripture Reference: Galatians 6:9 (KJV) – “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Episode 2 – Emotional Distance: How It Creeps In and How We Close the Gap

In this episode, we’re breaking down emotional distance—what it is, how it shows up in relationships, and why it’s so damaging when left unspoken. I’ll share real talk from a man’s perspective on disconnection, pride, fear, and the silence that separates us from the people we love most. We’ll also talk about practical, faith-driven steps to rebuild connection and lead with love—even when it’s hard.
