"Manly With Andy" focuses on pursuing biblical manhood.

Every conversation starts with a question called "The Ascent," which asks about the biggest challenges men face and how to overcome them. In the second part, the podcast examines the stories of men in the Bible and what can be learned from them. Finally, the third part inducts a man into the "Hall of Heroes". A man who has reached the apex of herotude, whether it be goofy or serious. In each episode, we explore what it means to be a man of God and to be transformed by him in order to transform the world.

What does fake Christianity look like? How can men avoid falling into the traps of an inauthentic faith? On Episode 137 of Manly with Andy, pastor and author Jed Coppinger joins the conversation to answer big questions from his book Fake Christianity: 10 Traps of an Inauthentic Faith and How to Avoid Them.

What’s the biggest challenge men face today? Jed says it’s not money, career, or success—it’s the daily fight to keep our hearts alive to God. How do you know if you’re winning the right fight? How can you tell if your faith is authentic? What’s the danger of being spiritually asleep as a husband, father, or leader?

We dive into:

  • Why faith without works is dead (James 2)
  • The subtle ways Christians “practice what they preach” or fail to
  • How small compromises, not just big sins, destroy spiritual impact
  • Modern-day Pharisee traps: holding others to higher standards than ourselves
  • Why busyness can kill intimacy with Jesus
  • How misdirected passions lead believers away from truth
  • The life-changing reality of God’s mercy—even when you feel too far gone

Are you succeeding at things that don’t really matter? Are you settling for spiritual sleepwalking instead of living fully alive in Christ? This episode will challenge men to wake up, fight the right battles, and walk in the authentic faith that Jesus calls us to.
