Most men have heard that there are seven things God hates. Almost nobody has been told which one He saves for last.

In this episode Ryan and Brett walk Proverbs 6:1–19, where the book breaks off the long warning about temptation and gets strangely practical. Don't guarantee a debt you can't cover. Don't sleep through your life. Don't become the man nobody can trust.

Almost nobody wakes up one morning and decides to blow up his marriage.

That's not how it happens. It starts with a text that runs a little warm. A lunch that runs a little long. A door left open one inch. Proverbs 5 is a father who has watched enough men fall to know exactly how it works, and he walks his son right up to the edge and makes him look all the way down.

In this episode Ryan and Brett work through the whole chapter, and they follow it to real practical conclusions for men.

Most men are guarding the wrong thing.

There's a camera on the doorbell, a password on the phone, a code on the garage, insurance on everything in the driveway. We are the most guarded generation of men who ever lived. And Proverbs 4 says there is one assignment that outranks all of them, and most of us leave it completely unwatched.

In this episode Ryan and Brett work through the last lecture of Proverbs 4, the passage that gives us verse 23: "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
