August 15, 2022Football and Father Figures (feat. Ed Gomes) | Episode 92
Football season is almost upon us, and we are kicking off with Liberty Flames Director of Spiritual Development, Dr. Ed Gomes.
Ed has been discipling young men for decades and sheds light on effectively earning the right to spiritually father young men.
Mike and Ed dive into:
What it looks like to build relationships with younger generations and earn the right to speak into their lives.
What to do if you feel like you can’t relate.
How to cast a vision for what their future could look like when they are dealing with father wounds.
Why he prays for 55 young men per year to be in relationship with and how he is intentional about discipling them.
How discipleship starts with making sure I am up to date with God.
How to establish a pattern of faithfulness by focusing on one day at a time.
How increasing faithfulness is like increasing the weight you can press.
Why you shouldn’t let the enemy talk you out of trying to disciple young men.
Ed discusses how it all starts with looking to Jesus as the model.
“Jesus was always at the right place doing the right thing with the right people.”
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

August 09, 2022Take Them to Jesus - Part 2 (feat. Don Coleman) | Episode 91
As founding Pastor of East End Fellowship Church in downtown Richmond, Don Coleman now serves as Pastor Emeritus. He has a passion for seeing people meet Jesus through the lives of other believers, as well as the witness of the Church.
Mike and Don discuss what it means to meet Jesus, how the Church needs to grow and change, and how we need to learn to follow Jesus and guide others to follow him.
“Stop taking them to church. Take them to Jesus.”
He continues by asking, “Have you met Him (Jesus)? If you haven’t, where are you leading people?”
“Do what Jesus Did (DWJD). Don’t ask, 'What would Jesus Do?' (WWJD) He already told us. Stop asking questions. Read his Word!”
“Jesus said, 'Follow me, and I will MAKE you fishers of men.' He did not expect them to automatically be fishers of men. As we follow Jesus, he will make us disciple-makers, so we don’t have any excuses!”

July 26, 2022Investing in Faithful Men (Throwback feat. Carey Bates) | Episode 89
This episode originally aired October 2020.
I am joined by Carey Bates, my former pastor and a man who faithfully invested in me. We met Carey when we first moved to Richmond over 20 years ago.
Before Carey even knew what discipleship really was, he started a group of men studying the Bible in his dorm room. Through the mentorship in his own life, he became passionate about reproductive discipleship. It became part of his DNA and ministry to look for the guy or the group he could invest in, and it all started when a man willing to disciple him said, “Come with me.”
We often don’t feel qualified to disciple others, but Carey helps us understand that as long as we have prayer, a biblical foundation, and fellowship with other men, we’ve got what it takes to begin. He recommends many resources to help us get kicked off. While there is nothing magical about any one resource, it’s a track to run on and get you started. As you listen, I pray you gain confidence to take that first step.
When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Matthew 10:19-20
“We are prompted by the Holy Spirit, but we are prepared by our mind.”

July 19, 2022Abiding, Pruning and Producing Fruit - Part 2 (feat. Chris Jackson) | Episode 88
Chris Jackson has a background in business and in ministry. They were both thriving when God called him to step away from the active ministry he was running and the successful business he had invested himself into for 18 years.
Chris had been inspired by one conversation he had years ago with a man in his 60s who believed his most powerful and influential days were still ahead of him. He set out to continually grow and pour into others as Christ pours into him.
"One conversation that God is in the middle of can change your life."
Chris is now a C12 Chair in southern Alabama. He has a mission to abide in Christ and allow him to do the pruning necessary to produce much fruit in his life. Listen as he shares these lessons and more in Episodes 87 & 88 of The Noble Man Podcast:
How we can be influential if we continue to walk with God.
Why a Christian must never be set in his ways.
How our pride limits us.
How we must walk at a different pace than the world is promoting.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser." John 15:1

July 05, 2022Cross-Cultural Friendships - Part 2 (feat. Clarence Shuler) | Episode 86
Clarence Shuler is a discipler of disciplers, “a Swiss army knife of ministry,” and it all began when he was 14. A local youth pastor named Gary Chapman took a chance on him in a place and time where cross-cultural relationships were rare and challenging.
“Segregation was outlawed but still being practiced.”
Yet he experienced love and respect from Gary, and over five decades later, the two are still like family. The seeds of discipleship Gary planted in Clarence’s 14-year-old heart have taken root, produced fruit, and multiplied in the lives of other men. They recently co-authored the book Life-Changing Cross-Cultural Friendships.
In The Noble Man Podcast Episodes 85 and 86, Clarence:
highlights the keys to beginning and fostering cross-cultural friendships,
describes the difference between discipleship and mentoring and how long mentoring relationships should last,
discusses self-worth vs. self-worship, and
talks through ways churches can value people beyond what goes skin deep, and more.

June 21, 2022 Paying it Forward (feat. Paul Henderson) | Episode 84
Paul Henderson discusses the rich heritage of fruitful mentorship in his life and how he is paying it forward to the next generation on The Noble Man Podcast.
Paul’s dad taught him and his five brothers the Scriptures. He had a high school coach who breathed life and belief into him. He worked with mentors in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes who poured into him. Another mentor encouraged him to turn a challenging time in his life and career into a fruitful time seeking God, and out of that came his book, Slave No More: Conquering the Master Within. Now, as Dean of Students with Elijah House Academy in Richmond, VA, Paul actively pours into hundreds of students daily.
He and his wife Kierra raise and disciple four sons together. His philosophy of building relationships and accountability for mentoring will challenge and bless you as you tune in to Episode 84.

June 14, 2022 Teamwork Makes the Family Work (feat. Jay Payleitner) | Episode 83
Parenting takes work from both the mom and the dad. Join Mike and guest Jay Payleitner as they discuss Jay’s new book, Moms Bringing Out the Best in Dads.
Noble Warriors team members Christen and Hollie participate with experience on the other side of the table, offering their perspectives as wives and moms and how everyone benefits when Mom and Dad work as a team.
“Guys and gals are different,” says Jay, and he hopes to provide some insight for moms on what dads are thinking - or not thinking - and how a dad’s best resource can be his kids’ mom.
You’ll gain insight, have a laugh, and maybe get a few feathers ruffled as you hear how his wife has taught him how to swaddle and learned when to roll her eyes at him. Most importantly, along the way, she figured out how to bring out the best in him as a dad.
“Moms bringing out the best in dads actually brings out the best in moms as well,” says Christen. “It helps us be a better mom when we are helping our husband be a better dad, so I think it’s full circle.”
