📖 Summary:
What if the reason you haven’t changed isn’t because you’re weak — but because you’re still clinging to the identity that’s killing you?
In this episode of Man on Fire Rising, David unpacks the hidden beliefs, unconscious identities, and emotional wheelchairs that high-functioning men carry… and what it really takes to break free.

🧠 Key Takeaways:
~[01:20] Inherited beliefs aren’t yours — but they run your life.
You didn’t create most of your belief systems. You inherited them — from family, culture, lineage. And they might be the very thing holding you back.
~[04:00] The woman who could walk — but went back to her wheelchair.
A true story that reveals how terrifying it is to give up the identity we've wrapped our suffering around.
~[06:30] Your ‘wheelchair’ is anything you’re afraid to give up.
Whether it’s addiction, playing small, or an old label — what you’re clinging to is often what’s keeping you stuck.
~[08:00] Change isn’t just possible — it’s spiritual.
You can’t just "change." You have to exchange the version of you that’s clinging to survival for the one aligned with God’s vision for you.
~[10:00] Josh Kahn’s story: From weed and numbness to leadership and purpose.
A Man on Fire grad’s transformation — from stuck and disconnected to grounded, heart-led, and leading other men.
~[12:30] The only man we can’t help.
If you believe your pain is special, unsolvable, and greater than everyone else’s — you’ll win that game. And you’ll stay stuck.
