What makes an uncommon husband? In our very first guest episode, Jon and Devin sit down with Matt Powers, co-host of the Married AF podcast with his wife, to talk about men, relationships, and marriage the way God intended.

Matt and his wife have been married 18 years and have walked through the worst of it and out the other side. He talks about why so many couples end up as roommates, what Ephesians 5 actually asks of husbands, why serving your wife comes is so important, and why transparency and vulnerability decide whether a marriage thrives or falls apart.

You already know pride is a problem. The real question is what it's taking from you. In part two of our conversation on pride, Jon and Devin go through where that cost shows up.

We talk about the friendships that quietly fall apart, the apology you can't bring yourself to give, and why "I'm sorry, but..." isn't an apology. We get into marriage and the habit of keeping score, fatherhood and what your kids learn when they watch you get it wrong, and how a lot of anger is really just a bruised ego. We also cover how pride creeps into your spiritual life, why being correctable matters, and who in your life has permission to tell you you're wrong.

In this weeks episode, Devin and Jon talk about pride. The obvious kind and the kind that hides behind insecurity or independence. They talk through where it actually comes from, why refusing help or needing the last word counts just as much as bragging does, and how a confident CEO ended up at the bottom of the ocean. Along the way they own where they've each had to ask God to prune it out of them, not as a finished process but an ongoing one. This one starts with a hard look in the mirror.

Being smart and being wise are not the same thing. Jon and Devin break down what wisdom actually is, the difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom, and practical steps to actually grow in it. Some of the most capable people in history knew exactly how to get what they wanted, and it still led to ruin.

What are we actually aiming at? Goals are a good servant but a terrible master, and we need a mission before we need a goal. Discipline without a target is just motion with no direction. What SMART goals actually mean, why review and adjustment matter more than the goal itself, and a challenge to set one goal in four areas together, spiritual, physical, family, and work. Success was never measured by what we accumulate. It's measured by who we're becoming.

A priority list only means something if you actually live by it. What gets your time, what gets pushed to tomorrow, what gets the first fifteen minutes of your morning, that tells the real story, whether it matches what you'd say out loud or not. God first, then spouse and family, then work, then everything else, that's the order. The question isn't what you'd claim your priorities are. It's what they actually are.

Some men walk away from the faith. Some never really arrive. Some sit in church every week and never actually follow Jesus. Seven reasons why, and every man thinks he's the exception. Knowing about Jesus isn't the same as following Him. The question isn't whether you show up. It's whether you've actually come.

In this episode, we break down Luke 9:23-27. We talk about what it it is commonly thought to mean, and what it actually means to deny yourself, die to control, and follow Christ. A choice that we have to make every single day. This isn't about tolerating stress or minor inconvenience. It's about whether Jesus is your Savior only, or if He's also your Lord.

This episode breaks down what passive living actually looks like, why comfort became the goal in the first place, and what God actually called men to do with their lives. Spoiler: it wasn't to float. The goal isn't maximum comfort. It's obedience and purpose.

Thomas doubted. David lamented. Peter sank mid-miracle. The strongest men in Scripture had moments of deep uncertainty, and none of them kept it to themselves forever. Why doubt is common, why men hide it, and what it looks like to face it without walking away from faith.
