Parenting in 2026 looks nothing like it did 20 years ago.

Anxiety. Depression. Social media. Identity confusion. Isolation.And most parents feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.

In this powerful episode of the Man Up Podcast, Terry sits down with Mark Gregston, founder of Heartlight Ministries and a nationally recognized parenting expert who has spent over 50 years walking alongside struggling teens and families.

Mark has worked with more than 3,500 teens in crisis. He’s seen what works. He’s seen what doesn’t. And he’s here to help dads step up and lead spiritually and emotionally in their homes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The biggest mistake parents make today

• Why teen issues have shifted from rebellion to depression and anxiety

• How social media is affecting your child’s need for connection

• Why parenting teens requires a completely different approach

• How to stay firm without becoming controlling

• How to stay loving without becoming passive

• What to do if your relationship with your teen feels strained

• Why dads must step up spiritually (even if they feel unqualified)

• How to redeem a broken relationship with your child

• Why not acting soon enough can cost more than you think

Your teen doesn’t need a perfect dad.They need a present one.

Legacy isn’t what you leave to your children.It’s what you leave in them.

If you’re a parent, grandparent, youth leader, or mentor — this episode is for you.

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. In this conversation, Terry and Devane talk identity, discipline, and why so many men are “crushing it at work” but quietly losing at home. 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.

Get your copy of Mantality or Post 30 and Man-Up Merch Here-- http://manupadventure.com/store/Jon Broce joins Terry to talk about why three days in the woods with a band of brothers became “one of the neatest experiences I’ve ever been involved in.” We unpack what makes camp different (small units, real conversations, zero lone wolves), how shame tries to stain a man’s identity, and why scars are actually proof of God’s grace — not something to hide. 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...

In this episode, we sit down with Victor Bretting to talk buffalo hunts, brotherhood, and what his family calls “the Bretting Way”: a lived-out culture of honoring God, loving your wife, and raising kids who can stand on their own two feet. We get into why he built a ranch that’s more than a hunt—it's a place to disciple men, mentor the next generation, and help guys recover purpose. We talk legacy over lifestyle, discipline over comfort, and why every dad has to be brave enough to be the parent, not the buddy. If you’ve ever wondered how to build a family culture that actually sticks, this one will light a fire.

In this bonus message, we unpack “cornermen”: the few brothers who wipe the blood, speak courage, and carry you when life drops you to the mat.
