With Christ, your story becomes a platform—not a prison—for the man you’re called to be.

Many men walk through life like a bone that never healed right—functioning, but always in pain. In this episode of The Mantle, we confront the unfinished business of manhood: the wounds we buried, the silence we lived with, and the father-shaped gaps that still define us.

Through Scripture and honest reflection, learn how secrecy keeps you enslaved, why wounds must be brought into the light, and how Christ redeems the past so you can walk as a new creation.

Real manhood doesn’t start by charging ahead—it starts by looking back. In this episode of The Mantle, we confront the buried memories, unhealed wounds, and false beliefs that quietly shape the men we’ve become.

Through Scripture and honest reflection, we’ll explore how unresolved pain shows up in our anger, addictions, relationships, and self-worth—and how God invites us to face our past so He can redeem it. Because before you can step into the man God designed you to be, you have to deal with the man you’ve already become.
