Get Tickets to Act Like Men 2026 - actlikemen2026.com

What happens when the people who know you best can't say you're a man worth following?

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby dive into Acts 6 and the three qualifications the early church looked for when selecting men to lead: character, competency, and consecration. The conversation gets personal fast as the team unpacks why integrity starts at home, why your wife and kids shouldn't have to guess which version of you is walking through the door, and why being a "good guy" without God is impossible. The team also tackles the loneliness epidemic among men, why most guys can talk about anything except their relationship with the Lord, and what it actually looks like to stop trying harder and start bowing lower. If you have been coasting on reputation instead of living with real integrity, this episode is your wake-up call.

What if the thing you have been avoiding is actually the thing you were made for?

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby close out the "Us" series by unpacking the conviction statement "great people serve people." The team confronts the consumerist mindset that keeps Christians on the sidelines, shares the story of a 25-year-old man who had never had anyone believe in him enough to invite him into ministry, and breaks down why serving is not an optional add-on but a stewardship responsibility every believer will one day answer for. James drops one of the most convicting lines of the episode: if you are currently serving in a role where you do not need God to show up, you should serve in a different role.
If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right time, the right role, or the right invitation, this episode is your invitation to stop watching and start doing the thing you were made for.

What if the reason you keep missing the people right in front of you has nothing to do with how much you care and everything to do with how fast you are moving? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckabee unpack the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10 and confront the uncomfortable truth that busyness has become the most accepted excuse for walking past people in need. The team gets personal with stories of moments they almost missed, digs into why we wear busyness like a badge of honor, and draws the line between a full life and a hurried life. They also explore what the Greek word for compassion actually means, why real compassion always costs you something, and what it looks like to build a life with enough margin to see the divine appointments God is putting in your path every single day. If you have been so busy doing good things that you keep missing the best thing right in front of you, this episode is going to change the way you see your calendar and the people around you.

What if the thing keeping you from experiencing real purpose and joy has nothing to do with your circumstances and everything to do with a lie you have been believing your whole life? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby unpack the conviction statement "We're All in Full Time Ministry" and confront the deeply rooted idea that ministry is reserved for pastors and missionaries. The conversation traces where that divide came from historically, why we keep drifting back to it, and what changes when you start seeing your workplace, your school, and your neighborhood as the mission fields they actually are. They also go there on why ministry is hardest at home, the spiritual war being waged against your family, and what it looks like to start leading even if you feel like you have already missed your window. If you have been sitting in the seats waiting for someone else to do the work, this episode will wreck that thinking in the best way possible.

What does it look like when the thing you refuse to let go of is the very thing keeping you from growing? In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby tackle the topic most people squirm at: money and generosity. The conversation addresses common pushback on tithing and giving to the church, unpacks why Jesus identified money as the rival to God on the throne of your heart, and explores how generosity is not something mature Christians eventually get around to but the very thing that will unlock your next step of spiritual growth. If you have been holding back in this area, this episode will challenge you to open your hands and trust God with what was never yours to begin with.

Courtney shares her story of losing her husband Andrew in a sudden bicycle accident the day before Thanksgiving and having to tell her three young children their daddy was with Jesus.

Where do you run when life falls apart? In this episode of The Pursuit, Pastor James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ansley Huckaby dig into Matthew 17 and unpack what a desperate father's impossible situation teaches us about faith, suffering, and where we turn when we're out of options. They explore why God allows hard things, why faithlessness frustrates Jesus, and what it actually means to trust God versus just agreeing with him. James gets personal about his daughter Arden's heart defect and what that season taught him about clinging to hope when God doesn't answer the way you wanted. If your faith feels too small or barely hanging on, this episode is for you.

Can you really stay neutral about Jesus? In this episode of The Pursuit, Pastor James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Ainsley Huckaby dig into Acts 5 and unpack why neutrality is never actually an option when it comes to Jesus. We'll explore why people resist things that are clearly good, how jealousy and pride drive people to protect what they've built, and what it looks like when confirmation bias keeps someone from accepting the evidence right in front of them. They also walk through some of the most compelling evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. 
If you've been sitting on the fence about Jesus, this episode is for you. Not deciding is deciding. Liar, lunatic, or Lord are the only real options. And the tomb is still empty.

In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Ansley Huckaby, and Carlos Fernandez dig into Acts 5 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira, unpacking one of the most sobering passages in the New Testament. The conversation confronts the reality that division in the church is not just a relational problem, it is a spiritual one. James and Carlos explore how Satan uses disunity to destroy the mission of the church, what it actually looks like to be a divisive person, and how the relationships you run with will shape the direction of your life. They also get practical about dating, marriage, work, and friendship, and what it means to set healthy boundaries without abandoning the people you love.
