  • Treasure Hunting
    Aug 7 2025
    Every man knows the ritual. You’re headed out the door, running late, feeling heroic until it happens. Your keys? Gone. Not misplaced… vanished. Like they entered a witness protection program for car accessories. You check the usual places: the counter, the pants from yesterday, the truck cupholder, your buddy’s couch. Nothing. So you enter “search mode.” Shirt comes off for no reason. You’re crawling under furniture like it’s Navy SEAL training. You question your dog. Accuse your kids. Stare down your wife with suspicion like, “Did you move them?” Eventually, you check the fridge, your boot, and yes, even the toilet tank. And just when you’ve given up and accepted a life of Uber rides… boom. There they are. Right where you left them. In your hand. Or your pocket. Or hanging from the door you walked past 12 times. Treasure hunting is wired into the soul of a man. There’s something deep within us that longs to search, to discover, to uncover what’s hidden and claim it as our own. It’s why we’re drawn to adventure, purpose, and even risk. But in life, not all treasure shines. The world offers fool’s gold, money, status, and comfort that promise fulfillment but leave us empty. Real treasure is found when we seek after the things of God: wisdom, truth, purpose, and eternal reward. We’re talking about the real hunt the one every man is on. The search for purpose, for meaning, for that one thing that’s worth giving your life to. Maybe it’s buried under bills, burnout, or just the noise of everyday life. But it’s there. So what are you hunting for? Have you found it yet?

    Jul 24 2025
    Let’s be honest, fellas… The "Sears" Catalog. That's where it started. Flipping through the pages and then I came to the section advertising women in bras and panties. I was hooked. (you can't tell me you didn't look at that catalog also :) ) We talk a big game. We serve. We lead. We pray. 
But underneath all that… there’s a secret that no one’s really talking about: PORN. Yeah, we said porn — because pretending it’s not a problem hasn’t helped anyone. Porn is a billion-dollar beast that’s devouring men, wrecking marriages, and keeping people locked in cycles of guilt, isolation, and fake freedom. It’s the addiction no one sees, the sin nobody wants to admit but it’s everywhere. It’s in our men’s groups. It’s in our marriages. And it’s tearing men apart from the inside out quietly, secretly. It’s rewiring brains, suffocating purpose, and keeping good men stuck in shame, secrecy, and isolation. It’s the drug no one wants to admit they’re hooked on.
 It’s the secret battle that’s stealing our strength, numbing our souls, and quietly wrecking everything we care about — our marriages, our minds, our manhood, and our walk with God. This episode? We’re done hiding. We’re dragging this thing into the light where it loses its power. No shame. No fake masks. Real stories, and the truth that Jesus came to set men free, not just forgiven, but free. We’re talking about why so many men are hooked, what it’s really doing beneath the surface, and how you can start fighting back with honesty, brotherhood, and the power of God. Join us as we invite a guest to share his journey about coming out from hiding. Romans 12:2 "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

  • FatHER's Day pt.2
    Jun 13 2025
    Alright fellas, welcome to Part 2 of letting our wives take the mic and speak truth into what it really means to be a father. We're cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart of it: what do wives actually want from us, not just as husbands, but as dads? This isn’t about being the guy who occasionally shows up. It’s about being the kind of father who earns respect at home, builds real trust with his kids, and makes his wife feel like she’s not parenting solo. No cape required. Just consistency, presence, and purpose. We’re not guessing here, we’ve handed the mic to our wives. What do they wish we’d do more of? What drives them crazy? What actually helps them feel supported? We’ll dive into emotional leadership, daily effort, and the big difference between saying “I’ve got this” and actually backing it up with action. No guilt trips, just real talk, real growth, and a chance to get better at one of the most important jobs you’ll ever have. Let’s get into it.
