The Jubilee Sunset Hills Podcast

Leadership is one of God's primary ways of serving and strengthening His people, yet many Christians have complicated experiences with it. In this episode, we explore why aspiring to leadership can be a good and godly desire, the difference between gospel-centered ambition and selfish ambition, and how our motives shape the way we lead. We also discuss the lasting effects of leadership abuse, what distinguishes strong leadership from weak leadership, and how healthy leaders create environments where people can flourish. Finally, we examine the Bible's teaching on male and female leadership roles within the church and why these distinctions matter for the health and mission of God's people.

Whether you're currently leading, considering leadership, or recovering from poor leadership experiences, this conversation offers a biblical framework for understanding authority, responsibility, and service in the church.

This week on the Jubilee Church Podcast, Bryan and Jordan are joined by Wesley McCutchan to talk about the release of Built For More, the challenges young men are facing today, and why mentorship and intentional relationships matter more than ever. They discuss shame, identity, encouragement, and the kind of words and relationships that can change the trajectory of a young man’s life.

The conversation then shifts into a thoughtful breakdown of 1 Timothy 2, exploring how to approach difficult Bible passages, why context matters when reading Scripture, and how to discern eternal truths within cultural settings.

Bryan and Jordan are joined by special guests Elijah Stanley and Alyssa McCutchan for a unique conversation on insecurity, discipleship, biblical manhood, and one of the most debated passages in the New Testament. Elijah shares his personal story featured in Bryan’s new book and opens up about isolation, shame, mentorship, and finding identity as a son of God.

Alyssa offers a powerful perspective on why discipling young men deeply impacts women, families, and the health of the church. They also walk through 1 Timothy 2:8–15 and discuss how Christians should approach difficult Bible passages with humility, context, and trust in Scripture.

Bryan’s new book, Built for More, releases Monday, May 18.

This episode explores how men are actually formed through discipleship, sound doctrine, and spiritual relationships. Bryan and Jordan discuss the relationship between Paul and Timothy, why so many men feel spiritually stuck, the myths and distractions that keep men passive, and why biblical truth is essential for courage, leadership, and conviction. They also unpack the role of spiritual fatherhood, mentorship, and the importance of men being both led and leading others.

What does it actually mean to be a man and why do so many men feel unsure of their identity? In this episode, we unpack the role model crisis shaping a generation, and why biblical manhood isn’t formed in isolation. From the voices that shaped us to the ones we’re missing, we talk about how identity is formed, why so many men feel stuck, and how the right people in your life can call out who God created you to be. If you’ve ever felt directionless or unsure of your role as a man, this conversation gets to the root and points toward a better way forward.
