I Spent Decades in Church Wearing a Mask My Conversation with Engel Jones on the #12minconvos Podcast

I recently had the privilege of joining Engel Jones on the #12minconvos with Jesus Believers podcast. Twelve minutes. That’s the format. No long windup, no polished preamble—just a straight conversation about faith, purpose, and the road God has walked you down. Twelve minutes turned out to be plenty of time to tell the truth.

REAL MEN, REAL FAITH, REAL TALK A Conversation from the Men’s Roundtable Series with Mista Yu

Image
Pull up a chair. That is the invitation Mista Yu extends to every man who sits down at the Men’s Roundtable Series—and it is the right invitation, because the conversations that happen around that table are exactly the kind most men never get to have. I recently had the privilege of joining Mista Yu for one of those conversations. We talked about identity, true manhood, the cost of isolation, what it means to follow Jesus as a man, and the moment in 2019 that changed everything for me. No performance. No polish. Just real men talking about real things. THE RETREAT THAT STARTED IT ALL If there is a single moment I can point to that set the trajectory of everything I am building today—True Man Life Coaching, American Family Renaissance, the True Man Podcast, the books, the speaking, all of it—it was a men’s retreat weekend in March of 2019. I walked in as a man who had been a Christian his entire life. I walked out as a man who had finally encountered intimacy with Chris...

TRUE MASCULINITY BEGINS WITH SURRENDER: MY CONVERSATION ON CRAZY AMAZING GOD STORIES

Image
There’s a moment in most men’s lives where the mask slips—where the job title, the house, the car, and all of it stops being enough to hold you together. I had that moment on a Saturday morning at a men’s retreat in Virginia, standing in a room full of guys, listening to a Josh Groban song called “You Were Loved,” when God said something to me I’ll never forget: I want an intimate relationship with you. You’re my beloved son. I got to unpack that story and a lot more as a guest on Crazy Amazing God Stories , hosted by David Leadbetter. If you’ve never heard of the show, it’s built around a simple, powerful idea: ordinary people sharing extraordinary moments of God revealing His power, grace, and love in everyday life. David gave the episode the title “True Masculinity Begins with Surrender,” and honestly, I can’t think of a better summary of everything I believe about being a man. WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT David and I...

250 Years In, And It’s Time for Men to Decide True Man Podcast

Image
This Independence Day marks a remarkable milestone in our nation’s history. America turns 250 years old. For many, the Fourth of July means fireworks, backyard barbecues, parades, and time with family. Those traditions are worth celebrating. They remind us of the blessings we enjoy. But if that’s all this day means to you, we’ve missed something much greater. America’s 250th birthday is an invitation. An invitation to reflect on the kind of nation we’ve inherited and the kind of nation we are leaving behind. Ordinary Men. Extraordinary Decision. Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of ordinary men made an extraordinary decision. They declared that our rights were not granted by a king, a government, or a political system. They believed those rights came from our Creator. That single conviction changed history. The founders understood something that seems increasingly forgotten today: Freedom is not self-sustaining. Liberty survives only when p...
