🧭 Core Theme:

We were made for purpose — but distraction is the enemy of clarity. Our phones, constant noise, and hustle culture can drown out the voice of God and keep us from discovering our true calling.

• Hook: Meaning and purpose are core to who you are. So let us ask: What’s keeping you from stepping into yours?

• Many of us aren’t lacking purpose — we’re just too distracted to hear it.

• The Amazing Race analogy:

  • Our lives mirror the show: fast-paced, high-pressure, full of checkpoints.

  • But in the R.A.C.E., we often lose clarity.

  • R.A.C.E. = Running Aimlessly, Chasing Everything

  • We’re exhausted from chasing, but we’re not fulfilled.

• Distraction Kills Clarity:

  • Phones and screens keep us reactive, not reflective.

  • Without space to hear from God, we drift off course.

• Mini-Adventure Challenge:

  • Take half a day this month — hike, bike, or sit in stillness.

  • Ask God two questions:

    1. God, what is my calling?

    2. What is one step I can take toward it in this season?

• You can’t download your purpose from an app.

• Clarity comes through solitude and seeking God’s voice — not scrolling.

• Schedule your “mini-adventure” this week.

• Share this episode with a friend who’s feeling stuck or lost in the noise.

• Join our community of men pursuing clarity, courage, and calling.

Are You Letting Fear Kill Your Dreams? | Untamed with Joel Fritz & Marc Lucas

📋 Show Notes:
Episode Title:
Are You Letting Fear Kill Your Dreams?

Description:
Fear is the silent killer of dreams. In this powerful episode of Untamed, Marc Lucas and Joel Fritz tackle one of the biggest reasons men stop dreaming: fear — fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and fear of not being "enough."

Marc shares a vulnerable story about almost walking away from his true calling as a pastor because of fear—and how one decision to dream again changed the entire trajectory of his life (and led to Untamed even existing today!).

You'll discover:
🔥 Why it's impossible to lead without a dream
🔥 How fear slowly binds us to comfortable mediocrity
🔥 Why leaders who stop dreaming lose their influence — and how to reignite yours
🔥 The 3 practical steps to dream again:

• Visualize it

• Write it out

• Test it by sharing it with someone you trust

Plus, a reminder that deep inside every man is a desire for Adventure, Battle, and Beauty — and it’s time to awaken it.

Don't let fear win. It's time to dream again.

Episode Title: Drop the Mask: How to Heal the Wounds That Are Holding You Back

Description:
We all wear masks—but what are we really hiding? In this raw and redemptive episode, Marc and Joel explore how shame, wounds, and false identities have shaped how men show up in the world—and what it takes to break free.

From Adam and Eve’s shame in the garden to the false label Skar gave Simba in The Lion King, we’ve all been wounded. Whether it’s a father wound, betrayal, rejection, or failure—these hurts often lead us to perfectionism, anger, addiction, or isolation.

But here’s the truth: Jesus came to heal your heart, not just your habits.

You’ll learn:

• Why vulnerability is the birthplace of love (Brené Brown)

• How to identify your “mask” and the wounds behind it

• What it looks like to bring those wounds to God and begin restoration

• Practical ways to show up mask-free in marriage and male friendships

• The power of Proverbs 4:23 to revive your heart and restore your purpose

Key Quote:
"In your journey to become a man, you’ve taken arrows to the heart. But you don’t have to carry the wound forever."

Action Steps:

• Recognize the mask you’ve been wearing

• Identify your wound and bring it to God

• Practice vulnerability with your wife and brothers

• Stop guarding your heart—start healing it

• Reclaim your warrior spirit and fight for the good in your life

🔥 It’s time to drop the mask. You weren’t made to hide—you were made to live fully, freely, and untamed.

In this powerful episode of Untamed, Joel and Mark dive deep into the concept of the 1st Untaming, "awakening" – the crucial first step for high-achieving men seeking a better definition of success. Using the compelling story arc of Top Gun: Maverick, they illustrate how we often focus on being the best of the best in our careers, but ignore our most important internal struggles because they are difficult to deal with. YET, like Maverick, our lives stay ON PAUSE until we address our internal person UNTAMING us to become the best of the best at LIFE! Learn practical insights on how to cultivate this awakening in your own journey and finally hit “PLAY" on your true potential.

🎙 “The World Tamed Us & It’s Time to Break Free.”

We were born wild — but somewhere along the way, we let the world tame us. This episode is about rejecting the lies of who the world told us to be and experiencing breakthrough, untamed version of yourself.

🔥 Highlights:

• Remember who you are don't forget your identity.

• Have you had an identity heist?

• What it really means to live untamed
