    Jan 17 2026

    What if your greatest failure wasn’t the end of your story—but part of God’s preparation for what’s next?

    In this episode of the Courageous Men Podcast, Whitney Sewell unpacks a powerful truth: God often uses the seasons we least want to walk through to shape us into the men we’re called to become. Success can build confidence, but failure builds character.

    If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your mistakes, stuck in a hard season, or unsure where God is in the middle of a loss, this conversation will encourage you. The fire doesn’t destroy—it purifies.

    Tune in to be reminded that God wastes nothing, and that your hardest chapter may be the very thing He uses to write your best one.

    Jan 15 2026

  • God Doesn’t Have Any Grandchildren: Parenting as a Steward, Not an Owner
    Jan 8 2026

    What if the kids you tuck into bed every night don’t actually belong to you?

    In this episode of the Courageous Men by Whitney Sewell podcast, Whitney unpacks a freeing truth every Christian father needs to hear: your children are God’s first. Fatherhood isn’t ownership—it’s stewardship. And when you stop carrying the weight of being the one who has to get it all right, you make room for a deeper, steadier kind of leadership.

    If you’ve ever felt like your calling is pulling you in 12 directions—business, ministry, ambition, responsibility—this conversation will help you breathe again. Whitney reminds us that the Father loves your kids even more than you do, and your job isn’t perfection… it’s presence, obedience, and courage in the right order.

    This episode is a reset for dads who feel pressure to prove their calling by sacrificing the very people they’re called to lead.

  • Discipline That Makes You Unstoppable: How Simple Systems Lead to Excellence
    Jan 6 2026

    Most men think discipline means grinding harder, losing peace, and white-knuckling life until something gives.
    That definition eventually breaks you.

    In this episode, Craig Ballantyne—author of The Perfect Day Formula and The Perfect Week Formula—flips the script and shows why the most effective systems aren’t about adding more habits, but removing more distractions. He explains how structure protects your time, reduces mental pressure, and creates momentum without burning out the people you’re leading or the work you’re called to do.

    This conversation replaces the cultural definition of discipline with a simpler, stronger framework—one that helps Christian men lead with clarity at home, stay focused in business, and walk consistently with God without feeling stretched to the breaking point.

    If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, inconsistent, or drained by distraction, this episode delivers practical systems you can apply immediately.
