Join me as I bring on the first woman to the show and get a woman’s perspective on the topic of masculinity. I planned on keeping this strictly for men but the opportunity presented itself and it did not disappoint. Come listen to special guest Kristyn as she unveils the secrets of a woman’s soul and what women expect from men in relationships. Guys, get your pens and pads, there’s some gems in here that you can apply to your relationship and surprise wifey!

Come join me and Jon Ares in a constructive conversation talking about past wounds of abandonment that needed healing, to how men have become fearful of their wives, to taking calculated risks in life like a game of poker. At the end of the day, it’s not about the cards you’ve been dealt but it’s how you play your hand that makes all the difference in life when it comes to failure and success. Take these life experiences as lessons to apply so you can rise to another level!

In the midst of battle, feeling alone and isolated in a foreign country with enemies waging war around him, in times of homelessness back in civilian life, Sam experienced the power of God’s presence! Come listen to the amazing testimony of an army veteran who shares the power of a man after God’s heart, boldly sharing the gospel and the testimonies of God’s faithfulness!

Persistence is one of the greatest qualities a man can possess. The ability to continue on a path or mission to achieve the successful completion of whatever you set out to do, despite difficulties or failures or opposition. A daily grind of “pounding the stone” day in and day out until you conquer. Pushing through until something breaks through. What areas of your life are you lacking persistence? What areas have you given up on, even though you have a desire to accomplish it?

Fasting is an initiation process of shedding the old and embracing the new; a death and a resurrection so to speak. It allows us to break free from baggage we’ve been carrying and it provides a level of self-control to exercise power over our greatest temptations and vices in life. Cleansing our mind, body, and spirit will give birth to a new life, one filled with vibrant health and peace and strength. Fasting of the body is food for the soul. It gives us power. Who wants that soul power?

It can be extremely frustrating for men to try and figure out what women really want. It seems as if it’s like chasing after the wind. Come listen to some interesting insights on this question that could potentially help or even save your relationship!

A true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him. As men, endurance is required for the path to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual maturity. Hard times are inevitable for every man. But it’s our response in these moments that mold us and let’s us know where we stand or where we fall. Learning how to embrace the suck and finding comfort in the midst of trials and suffering is one of the greatest virtues. Come listen to former army soldier Brooks, who has learned a lot about what it takes as a man through pain and suffering. This is the very first interview style episode on this show and it does not disappoint. But don’t take my word for it, listen for yourself!

Without being tested as a man, we will never know if we have what it takes. We will never know our strength. We will never become pure in heart if we are not broken down and put in the crucible, the fiery furnace. If anyone knows trials and the refining process, it’s Job from the Bible. Through his sufferings and greatest pain, he had enough love and respect for God to say these 2 profound statements; “though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him” AND “when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” We too will come forth as gold as we allow the fiery trials to remove the crud from our hearts so we reflect the One whose image we bear!

You cannot solve a problem that you do not take ownership of. This is critical for everyone but especially men. When we point the finger at everyone and everything else for our problems, we’re acting like a child, like a little boy. We must own our problems. We must call things for what they are and use it as our fuel to turn them into what they need to be. We cannot settle, we cannot tolerate thing man-boy nature inside of us. We must be tested, and we must step into the arena of life’s obstacles and fight them head on so that we become stronger as men.

When’s the last time you’ve been tested? When’s the last time you felt alive? As we get older, there’s a tendency to play it safe, to be complacent, to settle for what our culture tells us who we need to become. But yet, we lose ourselves in that process. We lose the passion, that yearning to explore, to fight battles, to be caught up into an adventure and things much bigger than us. We must reclaim this passion. We must reclaim our heart that has been hijacked. It’s time for us to challenge ourselves, to test ourselves, to build strength and to lead the charge in making men strong again!
