In a world that keeps telling men to look within, hustle harder, and just “be true to yourself,” this episode says something completely different: you are in a fight you cannot win unarmed.

We walk through the three lifelong battles every man faces

1. The fight to grow with Jesus,
2. The fight against the flesh,
3. The fight to overcome evil with good—and expose why self-help, willpower, and online “alpha” advice keep coming up short.

Then we introduce the one weapon God has actually placed in your hands: the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God—exploring what makes the Bible unique, powerful, and essential if you want real freedom, clarity, and strength in the chaos of modern manhood.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same sins, pulled by the same temptations, or confused by a culture shouting a thousand definitions of masculinity, this conversation will help you see Scripture not as a dusty religious book but as your battle gear for everyday life.

In this new series, Pastor Ryan uncovers a biblical definition of manhood and contrasts it with the confusion and controversy surrounding masculinity in today’s culture. Through honest, practical conversation, he tackles cultural lies about what it means to be a man and points men back to God’s original design revealed in Scripture.
​

This episode issues a clear call for men to courageously follow God’s Word, embrace their God-given responsibility, and lead with strength, humility, and love. Don’t miss the kickoff of this powerful series on manhood as Pastor Ryan lays a foundation for future conversations about identity, purpose, and what it truly means to be a man of God.
