About this listen

Inside The Outhouse is a space for men who are tired of holding it all in.
Todd and Travis crack open the conversations most guys avoid—about burnout, fatherhood, marriage, health, and the quiet struggles no one talks about. Through stories, laughter, and raw honesty, they remind you: sometimes the best way forward is simply letting it out.

  • Ep. 6 Removing the Gum From Your Soul: A Conversation on Letting Go
    Nov 5 2025

    Sometimes the thing weighing us down isn’t heavy — it’s sticky. Ever feel like resentment sticks to you like gum on the bottom of your shoe? In this episode, Todd and Travis unpack the real weight of unforgiveness — how it sneaks into your day, shapes your reactions, and keeps you stuck. You’ll hear raw personal stories, faith-centered insight, and practical shifts that help you release bitterness and reclaim peace.

    If you’ve been carrying something heavy (or someone), this conversation just might be the nudge that sets you free.

    Oct 22 2025

    You can pray for calm seas all day long… sometimes, at some point, you’ve got to start swimming.
    In this episode, Todd and Travis dive deep into the power of prayer — where faith meets movement. They unpack how words can breathe life or take it away, why your direction matters more than your speed, and what it looks like to trust God while taking action.
