The Noble Man

Dr. Greg Beechaum,Senior Pastor of Little Zion Baptist Church in Powhatan, VA, is devoted to serving his church in every capacity, including joining the men’s choir. He doesn’t even sing, but he goes to be where the men are.

Greg had the blessing of being raised around godly men, but he observed too many men around him who didn’t. Like Timothy, they had godly women, but Greg wants to see men stepping up for the generations behind them.

He shares how he has figured out ways to remove excuses for men of all generations when it comes to engaging in biblical community and how all ages learn from each other regardless of their experience.

Everyone needs to be a mentor and to mentor someone else. It’s a cycle that never ends, no matter how old you get. Listen as they discuss bringing spiritual fathers back to the church and make it a safe place to combat one of Satan’s greatest tricks to shame men - isolation.

• "It’s common for churches to emphasize discipleship among teenagers and young adults—and rightfully so. But if you believe discipleship is a lifelong journey, it’s important to keep emphasizing it for older Christians as well. The percentage of Christians who are not engaged in discipleship is significantly higher among older generations."

One of my pastors, Joe Tanner, introduced me to this week's unique podcast guest. Joe and Alex worked together in Central Asia for seven years, where Alex was born and raised. He had never heard the Gospel before age 14 and shares his incredible testimony, as well as a little bit about what men’s ministry is like in his home country. 

Alex’s story shows the impact that one faithful man can have on an entire community and what it is like to see your whole family become new creations in Christ. Alex has three preteen sons and “only one wife,” an important distinction to make in his region of the world.  

Only .5% of the population in Alex’s country is Christian. As you listen, I hope you’ll meditate on the power and work of the Holy Spirit, not just on this man’s life and those around him but around the globe. Please continue to pray for Alex, his family, and their ongoing ministry. 

“I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am.’” Isaiah 65:1

Kent Evans ofThe Manhood Journey and Mike discuss how we need wise guys in our lives to learn from and how we can become wise guys for younger men. 

• Why do I have the gifts I have? 

His answers might not be what you think! 

He also challenges a theology problem he says many guys have that if you believe, you should just tear out every page of the Bible. 

Kent is a man whose life was changed when his best friend’s dad reached out to encourage him in college. He learned that you can’t become the “un-something” because life has a way of turning you into what you don’t want. From that point on, he decided to invest his life learning from men who have something he wants, and he’s poured all that knowledge into his book Mentorship Resources

In The Noble Man Podcast Episode 78, we’re talking about activating and mobilizing an untapped, undeployed army in the church – the Gen X and Boomer generations.

Rev. Chuck Stecker, Executive Director and Founder of A Chosen Generation Ministry, has dedicated the past 22 years to equipping, training, empowering, and releasing a new generation of leaders, and he sees the need for intergenerational ministry in the local church.

Mike and Chuck uncover some unexpected reasons older men aren’t engaging in discipleship and discuss how they can be mobilized toward mentoring and discipling.

Chuck didn’t know who he was or whose he was but came to the life-changing discovery that he was adopted by the King as one of his very own sons. He has encountered many men who have never been given their father’s blessing, never felt accepted as sons, and don’t know how to pass that on, but they can come to the point of healing.

Listen and learn why the analogy of Passing the Baton is deceiving and how to break away from the lie that you’ve done your part.

Don’t quit running. Don’t step off the track. Pray for the spirit of Caleb, who at 85 years old, said, “Give me my mountain.”

What can a young man in his 20s do to have a lasting effect for the Kingdom? What could he have to offer? 

Listen to Episode 77 of The Noble Man Podcast to find out how a college sophomore founded Christian Service Brigade (CSB Ministries) in the 30s. Now, the 85-year-old ministry has been geared towards purposefully pointing boys to Jesus for generations, in hundreds of churches, in every state. 

Mike Young and Scott Haima, current President of CSB Ministries, discuss the benefits of older men being willing to mentor and disciple young men and how both are transformed in the process. 

CSB Ministries provides a unique and vital avenue for boys to learn to do something for Christ, not just to have something to do. The ministry is structured for a lifestyle of learning that values and attends to how God has fearfully and wonderfully made boys. 

How might you join the effort and use your passions, hobbies, and talents to raise up the next generation of healthy young men?  

CSB is a high-octane opportunity - check it out!

Stephan Hicks is a prime example of a man allowing God to use his scars to empower other men in overcoming their wounds. Stephan was in his 40s when he founded My Brother’s Keeper, an organization born out of his own healing.  

It started with just six guys, then multiplied. “Little did I know inviting six guys into my home would turn into a non-profit organization.” 

My Brother’s Keeper is a group dedicated to mentoring men from 18 years old to well into their 60s. They help men handle problems across the board, such as education, employment, finances, and trauma, many resulting from a lack of fathers in the home. It is a safe place for men to talk about what they deal with, learn about their needs, and attain resources and counselors. 

When Stephan was introduced to Mike Young and Noble Warriors, he went through The Quest for Authentic Manhood with those first six guys. In Episode 76 of The Noble Man Podcast, hear how God has multiplied their ministry with men across the city. He continues to provide unique ways for them to meet men where they are and show Christ’s faithfulness by living out the Gospel with them daily. 

“Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32

When it comes to intergenerational discipleship, young men are hungry, and older men want to invest.  

Unfortunately, sometimes mentoring is like a middle school dance with the guys on one side of the gym and the girls on the other. Everyone wants to dance, but they don’t know how to get started. In the same way, we have to figure out how to help the generations connect in order to transfer wisdom and encouragement.  

Mike is joined by two younger men to discuss some of the unsuspecting mentors they have each had in their lives who may not even realize the impact they’ve had just by living a godly life and investing their time, energy, and resources into others. 

Are you making space and intentionally looking for these types of mentoring opportunities in your life? How can you live in such a way that you are influencing people without even suspecting it? 

Everyone wants it to be organic, but that still starts with someone taking initiative.

Join Mike, Landon, and Kaden as they discuss how their unsuspecting mentors influenced them by seeing value in them, being intentional, and doing life as they worked together.

Who have been the formative men in your life, and how can we impact the Kingdom through mentoring? 

“I think there are a lot of men thirsting to share what they’ve learned in life, but I don’t think they know how to make that connection … How do we create that link between those seasoned men and the younger men?” 

Ben Young is passionate about bridging that gap. Ben is the youngest son of Mike and Stacy, and as a college junior, he is one of the privileged young men who can look back and see mentor after mentor who impacted his life. 

In this episode of The Noble Man Podcast, Ben gives his perspective on some of those mentors and the life lessons they taught him, including: 

• How a godly man interacts with people at work. 

He also shares his biggest tip on getting started with mentoring if you are unsure and why it is worth it even though he knows, “It’s not an easy thing to do, but I think it’s a good thing.” 

Ben echoes his dad’s number one phrase, “It all comes back to men’s discipleship.”
