Ever notice how the gym makes your calendar but spiritual training keeps getting bumped? We sat down with performance coach and author Mark Oxer to flip that script and show how the same principles that build strong bodies can forge resilient, faithful men. Mark grew up in a structured church culture and found a living relationship with Jesus at camp; later, years in high-performance sport and ministry gave him a fresh lens for discipleship that actually multiplies.

What if the gap between where you are and the leader God is calling you to be could be bridged by a few simple, repeatable habits? We explore how delighting in God reshapes desire, why exercise is a form of stewardship, and how short, consistent family devotions can transform the culture of your home. Anchored in Psalm 37:4, we reframe spiritual growth from a Sunday-only activity to a daily rhythm that actually forms character.

What if the real reason your spiritual life feels flat is that you’ve settled for fellowship instead of discipleship? Coach David Mack—44-year classroom teacher, football coach, and author of 25 Bible commentaries—joins us to chart a clear, simple path for one-on-one discipleship that actually multiplies. He brings a Jewish perspective that opens the Scriptures in technicolor, showing how the Old Testament and New Testament lock together to form one coherent story that anchors identity, clarifies doctrine, and fuels mission.

What if the promise of Psalm 37:4 isn’t about getting what you want, but becoming the kind of man who wants what God gives? We walk through the heart-level shift that happens when you delight in the Lord and step into real discipleship, not just good vibes and busy calendars. Along the way, we draw a clean line between fellowship and discipleship, unpack why many church programs stall out, and share a simple, repeatable path that forms steady husbands, present fathers, and courageous leaders.

Trials don’t wait for a convenient time. One week you’re serving thousands at a men’s conference with a full heart, and the next you’re in a hospital bed with a PICC line, two surgeries, and a choice to make: fear or faith. We walk through that sharp turn with James 1:2–3 as our compass, not as a slogan but as a lived reality. Consider it joy, not because pain is pleasant, but because endurance changes the man you become—at home, at work, and in the quiet moments your kids remember.

A mountaintop weekend can change your language; a hospital bed can change your life. Right after an energizing men’s conference with voices like Joby Martin and John Tyson, I came home, peeled off a sock, and found a small, angry spot on my ankle scar. One Spirit-led decision—don’t eat or drink—opened a door for same-day surgery, cultures, and a new road I didn’t want: MRSA, a PICC line, and weeks of IV antibiotics. What felt like lost progress turned into a deeper lesson on endurance, gratitude, and the kind of brotherhood you can lean on when strength runs out.

When gratitude feels thin and the table highlights what’s missing, where do you place your hope? We lean into James 1:2–3 and take an unvarnished look at trials, endurance, and the kind of joy that survives the valley. Chris shares the real stories behind the mic—divorce, the loss of a daughter, a recent injury—and how those moments exposed control, deepened reliance on Christ, and built a steady faith that doesn’t hinge on easy days.

A roar shakes the heart before it changes the world. Today we lean into that sound and explore how small, faithful steps shape stronger men, steadier homes, and clearer witness. We start with a jolt of Scripture from Amos 3:8, then move into three practical rhythms that you can put to work before the day ends: surrender a little control to become more present, live out generosity where it’s most visible, and speak life into your marriage with daily encouragement. leave a review, and tell us: what step of obedience are you taking this week?
