Send us a text A single verse can reorder courage. Amos 3:8 pushes us to stop whispering truth while the world shouts its lies. We open up about a personal wake-up call to be a prophet in the biblical sense: not predicting the future, but telling the truth with clarity and love, grounded in Scripture. That identity is not exclusive; it’s available to every believer who surrenders to Jesus and accepts the cost of obedience. Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re ...

607. Boast In What Matters - Fun Friday
Send us a text What if the thing you brag about most is the very thing holding you back? We reflect on Jeremiah 9:23–24 and let it challenge our default settings—wisdom, strength, and wealth—so we can boast in what actually matters: knowing the Lord who delights in mercy, justice, and righteousness. From that anchor, we get practical about leading at home and at work with habits that build real momentum. Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But God ...

Send us a text What if one small filter could turn a clinic’s waiting room into an empty hallway and a violent street into a safe path to school? That’s the kind of change we dig into with Kurt Avery, founder of Sawyer Products, as we trace how faith, clear thinking, and disciplined marketing can scale clean water across nations.

Send us a text What if the strongest boast you could make wasn’t about your wins, but about knowing the One who never loses? We explore a countercultural path for men who want to lead with purpose: trade self-sufficiency for God-sufficiency and let mercy, justice, and righteousness become your calling card. Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But God isn’t looking for perfect men — just obedient ones. Our I’m Just a Guy Bible study on YouVersion ha...

We trace Elijah’s path to the mountain and the surprise that followed: God wasn’t in the wind, the quake, or the fire—He came in a gentle whisper. That picture becomes our blueprint for leadership, money, and family as we map out a week of practical steps you can live today.

Send us a text If the wind, earthquake, and fire don’t hold God’s voice, what does? We take you into 1 Kings 19 where Elijah learns to listen for the gentle whisper—and we get practical about how men can do the same in a world obsessed with hurry, noise, and hustle. You’ll hear a straight path from distraction to devotion, with simple habits that create margin, sharpen leadership, and bring real peace.

601. Captive Thoughts, Strong Hearts - Fun Friday
Send us a text Anxiety doesn’t wait for an invitation; it barges in and tries to run the room. We answer with 2 Corinthians 10:5—taking every thought captive—and translate that into simple, repeatable habits men can use right now. From choosing water before coffee to sharpen the morning, to aligning spending with calling instead of busyness, to protecting a weekly date night that keeps a marriage warm, this conversation brings the lofty down to street level without losing the heart. Ever thin...

600. I'm Just A Guy Series - Experiencing Anxiety
Send us a text Anxiety doesn’t ask permission; it just shows up—at 2 a.m., in the middle of a meeting, or right before a hard conversation. We go straight at the knot in the stomach and the stories we tell ourselves about control, exploring a practical path from white-knuckled worry to steady trust. Grounded in Scripture, we walk through what it means to surrender, pray honestly, and fix our minds on what is true so we can experience peace that actually holds. Ever think, “I’m just a guy… wha...

Ever notice how a single interaction can hijack your whole day—and your head? We open 2 Corinthians 10:5 and make it practical, showing how to take anxious thoughts captive with a clear, simple framework you can use under pressure. From the grit of a teenage job at a service station to the raw nerves before surgery, we map the real terrain where irritation, fear, and doubt try to take over, and how to answer them with truth.

598. You Were Made For Impact - Fun Friday
We take the ancient call to “arise and build” and turn it into a field manual for modern men who want to lead with conviction at home, at work, and in the church. Drawing from our conversation with Dr. John Wilson, we break down The Nehemiah Way—prayer, planning, preparation, progress, perseverance, and navigating people problems—and show how each step transforms good intentions into godly results.

597. The Nehemiah Way With John Wilson
Bad news broke his heart, but prayer formed his plan. That’s the hinge where ordinary men become catalytic leaders, and it’s the heartbeat of our conversation with Dr. John Wilson, author of The Nehemiah Way. We walk through a raw, practical blueprint for pastors and lay leaders who are tired of doing it all and ready to mobilize a church full of builders—not spectators.

596. Nehemiah 2:18 - Spiritual Kick Off
A single line can change a life: “Let’s arise and build.” Today we unpack what that call looks like for modern men who feel the weight of work, family, and faith—and want to move from good intentions to godly action. I share why leadership voids never stay empty, how apathy quietly erodes our churches and homes, and what steady, Spirit-led presence can restore when men step forward with humility and courage. Ever think, “I’m just a guy… what real difference can I make?” You’re not alone. But ...

593. Proverbs 12:22 - Spiritual Kick Off
The relentless pace of modern life can leave even the most dedicated Christian men adrift without direction. Many of us find ourselves in perpetual motion without meaningful direction, reacting to endless notifications, meetings, and obligations rather than purposefully pursuing God's vision. This spiritual drift isn't usually from rebellion but from being constantly reactive. We examine how this directionless living creates serious consequences for our families, workplaces, and communit...

From this solid ground, we explore practical ways to strengthen the three pillars of effective Christian leadership. Ever think, “I’m just a guy…...
