In this episode of the Man Up Podcast, Terry sits down with Kyle Thompson, founder of Undaunted Life, to talk about what it really means to be a godly man in today’s culture.

Kyle doesn’t hold back.

This conversation dives into the gap between godly men and manly men, the collapse of masculinity in modern culture, and why so many men are isolated, passive, and spiritually weak. Kyle shares a bold, practical playbook for men who want to stop coasting, find their corner, and become the kind of man God actually calls them to be.

They talk about:

• What biblical masculinity really is

• Why culture and even many churches have failed men

• How to find the right corner men / foxhole brothers

• Why men need shoulder-to-shoulder brotherhood before eyeball-to-eyeball vulnerability

• The danger of isolation and trying to fight alone

• How fathers are failing through passivity and poor emotional regulation

• Why men must stop choosing comfort and start choosing hard things

• The role of Scripture in building spiritual resilience

• How to push back darkness in your marriage, home, work, and community

If you’re tired of soft answers, passive faith, and surface-level Christianity, this episode is for you.

You were not created to coast.You were not created to fight alone.You were created to stand up, lead well, and live the life God designed for you to live.

Your story isn’t just about you.

It’s about what you leave behind.

In this powerful episode of the Man Up Podcast, Terry sits down with Dr. Crawford, a man who has walked with Jesus for decades and is finishing strong with humility, conviction, and generational impact.

Dr. Crawford shares his remarkable family heritage—starting with an ancestor who was once a slave, and how God used one man’s faithfulness to shape generations of godly leadership.

This episode is a masterclass in legacy, spiritual endurance, and what it truly looks like to walk with the Lord over a lifetime.

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• Why God thinks generationally, not just situationally

• How faithfulness matters more than recognition

• What to do when you’ve lost your spiritual edge

• Why decision always precedes development

• How passivity destroys men from the inside out

• Why gratitude is the antidote to pride

• What it means to love your wife over the long haul

• How fathers shape sons through responsibility and discipline

• Why you can Google knowledge but not wisdom

• How to stay grounded when God gives influence

• What it really means to finish well

Dr. Crawford reminds every man listening:

“If you’re going to leave footprints in the sand of time, you have to wear work boots.”

This episode will challenge you to step up, lead your home, walk in humility, and build a legacy that outlives you.

Because legacy isn’t what you leave to people…

It’s what you leave in them.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Mantality Series — a chapter-by-chapter breakdown of Terry’s book Mantality, designed to help men become who God calls them to be (not who the world pressures them to be).

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I failed too hard… I’ve done too much… it’s too late for me”?

If that’s you, hear this: your story isn’t over.

In this episode of the Man Up Podcast, Devane Prince and Terry Gwaltney unpack Chapter 2 of Terry’s book, Mantality: “Your Story Isn’t Over.” This one is for the man stuck in shame, replaying his worst season like it’s his identity.

You’ll learn the difference between conviction and shame, why failure doesn’t get the final word, and how God restores identity—not just behavior.

In this episode:

• Why your past may explain you, but it doesn’t define you

• Conviction vs shame (and how to tell which one is talking)

• Why men sabotage their future through poisoned perspective

• The “flip the paragraph” exercise that exposes your mindset

• The 4-step pathway: renew your mind, gratitude, faith-filled community, speak life

• The gut-check line: “If you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them”

• Why transformation is metamorphosis, not willpower

• Practical reflection questions to apply today

If you’re a man in process, this episode will remind you: God is still writing.

Your pain can become purpose. Your mess can become a message. And your next chapter can be stronger than your last.

What does it actually mean to be a godly man today — not in theory, but in real life?

In this episode of Man Up, Terry sits down with Jeff McElroy, longtime leader with Forever Families, to unpack what spiritual leadership looks like for everyday men who feel tired, intimidated, and unqualified.

Jeff shares his journey from corporate law to full-time ministry, why men often feel behind spiritually, and how insecurity, failure, and even exhaustion can become the very doorway to leadership.

This conversation dives into:

• Why men struggle with spiritual confidence

• How passivity damages families — and how to break it

• Why God works best when men feel unqualified

• What it really means to “man up”

• How legacy is built through transparency, not perfection

If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing as a spiritual leader — this episode will reframe everything.

On today’s episode Terry opens up his new book Mantality: A Field Guide for Men—a blueprint for becoming a stronger, more confident, courageous Christian man in today’s culture.

You’ll hear why community matters, how the 8-week leader guide makes it easy to start a men’s group, and why it’s time to stop drifting and start deciding.

Show link on YouTube: John Goodwin Episode

John Goodwin joins Terry to talk about how a whitetail obsession, a Mossberg 500, and a page called Wild Game Freaks turned into a platform God is using to reach men across the country. What started as a fun hobby now draws millions every month — but the real story is how the outdoors became a place for honesty, brotherhood, and spiritual wake-up calls.We dig into what makes hunting such fertile ground for men: long sits that quiet the mind, real conversations with guys you trust, and the reminder that you were never meant to walk alone. John shares the conviction that changed everything — “If I’m not the same man in the woods, at home, and online… I’m not the man God called me to be.”From marriage and fatherhood to spiritual leadership and the need for 2 a.m. friends, this episode hits the heart of why men today are hungry for real connection. If you’ve ever felt the tug toward deeper brotherhood — or wondered how God might use your passions for something bigger — this one’s your spark.

Jon Goodwin, is a husband of Jen, dad of Kaitlyn, Matthew, and Daniel, pastor of Hartland Bible Church, an avid whitetail deer hunter, outdoor influencer, and lover of all things outdoors. Jon has dabbled in the outdoor industry for years and owns the Wild Game Freaks brand which gets millions of impressions each month on Instagram.  He is also passionate about local engagement in his community as he avidly volunteers with several non-profits and sits on multiple non-profit boards.  Whether it be through preaching at his church, recording the weekly devotions with Christian Outdoors, or sharing at a sportsmen’s banquet, Jon relishes every opportunity to share about his love for Jesus and his love for the great outdoors.

Jon shares how leading a group of guys he barely knew turned into moments around the fire where men confessed, prayed, and decided to go home and actually lead their families. If you’ve seen the posts, heard the stories, but still aren’t sure camp is worth the trip, this one will push you off the fence.  We need your help to get the Man-Up podcasts in front of more men who can benefit from this content.Here are three simple things you can do that would really help us accomplish that goal: Follow us on Instagram / manupadventureReview us on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
