What does real courage look like? In this episode, we dive into the remarkable story of Benaiah, one of King David's mightiest warriors, whose extraordinary acts of bravery are recorded in 2 Samuel 23:20–23 and 1 Chronicles 11:22–25. Best known for chasing a lion into a pit on a snowy day and defeating it, Benaiah's story demonstrates that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's the decision to move forward despite it.

Noah is often remembered as the faithful man who built the ark and trusted God during humanity's darkest days. But after the flood, Scripture gives us a glimpse into Noah's humanity. Following his vineyard harvest, Noah became drunk and lay uncovered in his tent (Genesis 9:20–21), exposing a moment of vulnerability and failure.

What does it mean to leave a legacy that truly lasts? In this episode, we explore the biblical perspective on legacy—not as the pursuit of wealth, recognition, or personal achievement, but as a life that faithfully reflects Christ and points others to Him.
Whether you're raising children, mentoring others, serving in your church, or simply seeking to live with greater purpose, this conversation offers practical encouragement and biblical wisdom for building a legacy rooted in God's eternal kingdom rather than temporary success.
Featuring Chris Harper at the Hawaii Men’s Summit 2026
In this episode, we explore what it truly means to become the best in your job—not for personal fame or status, but as an act of worship to God. From a Christian worldview, work is more than a paycheck; it is a calling to reflect God's character through excellence, integrity, and service.
The Bible teaches that every task, whether seen or unseen, can be done for God's glory. As Colossians 3:23 reminds us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Excellence begins with the understanding that Christ is our ultimate employer.
Featuring Tim Dunn at the Hawaii Men’s Summit 2026

Featuring Kyle Reno at the Hawaii Men’s Summit 2026
In this episode, we explore the wisdom of Proverbs 22:6 and what it means to "train up a child." The discussion highlights that parenting and mentorship involve more than teaching rules—they involve shaping character, values, habits, and faith through consistent example and instruction.
The verse emphasizes the importance of laying a strong foundation during a child's formative years. Early lessons about integrity, responsibility, compassion, and reverence for God often leave a lasting imprint that can guide a person throughout life. While children may face challenges, make mistakes, or take unexpected paths, the principles instilled in them can continue to influence their decisions as they mature.
Featuring Chris Harper
In this episode, we explore the life of Andrew, one of Jesus’ first disciples, and a man whose quiet faith had an extraordinary impact. Although Andrew is not mentioned as often as some of the other apostles, a consistent pattern appears throughout the Gospels: Andrew was always bringing people to Jesus.
After hearing John the Baptist identify Jesus as the Messiah, Andrew followed Jesus and then immediately went to find his brother, Simon Peter, saying, “We have found the Messiah.” Andrew’s first recorded act was introducing someone else to Jesus—a moment that would ultimately influence the ministry of Peter and the growth of the early church.
Featuring Chris Harper
In this powerful episode, we explore the transformative role fathers play in shaping the spiritual, emotional, and generational health of their families through a Christian worldview. “When Dads Lead, Families Change” examines how godly leadership within the home can create lasting impact—not through dominance or perfection, but through love, humility, consistency, and spiritual example.
Featuring Chris Harper
In this episode, we dive into the meaning and importance of Spirit-led parenting—raising children with intentionality, wisdom, grace, and guidance from God rather than relying solely on pressure, fear, or perfectionism. The conversation explores how parenting is not just about managing behavior, but about shaping hearts, nurturing identity, and creating a home rooted in faith and love.
Featuring Kyle Reno
This episode explores Acts 13, showing how worship and consecration lead to clarity and mission. Using the "summit weight" metaphor, the speaker urges listeners to surrender what holds them back so God can use them.
Key themes include God asking for sacrifice before blessing, consecration bringing conflict and conviction, and mission flowing from worship. Practical invitations include a church residency and 21 days of prayer as steps toward obedience.
Featuring Tim Dunn
In this episode, we explore the theme of “Hiding from God” and how people often respond to guilt, shame, fear, and failure by pulling away from the very One who can heal them. Beginning with the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the podcast examines how humanity’s first reaction to sin was to hide from God. Even today, many people hide behind pride, busyness, addiction, religion, or silence, believing they are too broken or too far gone for God’s grace.
Featuring Josiah Jones
In this episode, we dive into the powerful passage of John 2:16–25, where Jesus Christ cleanses the temple and reveals His passion for true worship. As merchants turned God’s house into a marketplace, Jesus responded with righteous anger, reminding everyone that worship is meant to be holy, sincere, and centered on God—not profit or performance. This moment challenges listeners to examine their own hearts and ask: Have distractions, greed, or routine replaced genuine devotion in our lives?
Featuring Mike Satterfield
In this episode, we explore why reading the Bible is one of the most important habits a believer can develop. The Bible is more than just a historical book—it is God’s living Word, filled with wisdom, guidance, encouragement, and truth for everyday life. Through Scripture, people learn more about God’s character, His promises, and His plan for their lives.
The episode discusses how regular Bible reading strengthens faith, provides direction during difficult times, and helps believers grow spiritually. Just as the body needs daily food, the soul needs spiritual nourishment. Reading the Bible daily helps renew the mind, build confidence in God, and guard against fear, temptation, and confusion.
Featuring Bryan Hurlbutt
In this episode, we explore the powerful message behind Luke 14:28–30, where Jesus uses a simple but striking illustration: before building a tower, a wise person first sits down and calculates the cost to see if they can complete it. Otherwise, they risk laying a foundation and failing midway—becoming an object of ridicule.
This passage challenges listeners to think deeply about commitment, especially in the context of faith and discipleship. Jesus isn’t just speaking about construction—He’s pointing to the importance of intentionality and perseverance when choosing to follow Him. True discipleship isn’t impulsive or casual; it requires foresight, sacrifice, and a willingness to follow through even when the path becomes difficult.
Featuring Dr. Bryan Hurlbutt
Drawing from his memoir, Bury Me in a Dirty Suit, Kinder recounts what it was like to be inside the North Tower of the World Trade Center when the first plane struck. What began as a normal workday quickly turned into chaos, confusion, and a desperate fight for survival.
Listeners are taken step-by-step through Kinder’s harrowing escape—navigating smoke-filled stairwells, helping others along the way, and making life-or-death decisions under unimaginable pressure. His story isn’t just about survival, but about human instinct, resilience, and the quiet courage that emerges in moments of crisis.

The Call to Responsible Manhood from a Christian perspective, presenting manhood not as dominance or cultural stereotype, but as a God-given responsibility marked by character, leadership, and service.
The episode emphasizes that responsible manhood begins with identity—understanding oneself as created with purpose and called to reflect Christ in every area of life. It challenges men to move beyond passivity and take ownership of their choices, relationships, and spiritual growth. True responsibility is framed as consistency in private and public life, where integrity matters more than image.
Featuring Chris Harper
The podcast explores the Christian call to brotherhood as a central expression of faith, rooted in the belief that all people are created in the image of God. It emphasizes that brotherhood goes beyond surface-level kindness or social unity—it is a deep, sacrificial commitment to love others as Christ loves.
Drawing from Scripture, the episode highlights how Jesus modeled brotherhood through humility, service, and forgiveness. Listeners are reminded that true brotherhood requires laying aside pride, extending grace, and actively seeking reconciliation, even when it is difficult. The discussion also touches on the early Church as a powerful example of unity, where believers shared their lives, resources, and burdens with one another.
Featuring Josiah Jones
In this episode, we explore what it means to answer the call to the good fight—a phrase the apostle Paul the Apostle uses to describe the life of faith and perseverance. The Christian journey is not passive; it is an intentional, spiritual battle that requires courage, endurance, and unwavering commitment to truth.
Featuring Colby Corsaut
In this episode, we explore the profound spiritual theme of the call to sonship—the invitation from God for believers to move beyond simply being followers and step into their identity as sons and daughters. Sonship is not about status or privilege; it’s about relationship, transformation, and responsibility.
Featuring Bryan Hurlbutt
In a world obsessed with recognition, status, and self-promotion, Scripture offers a surprising promise: humility carries a reward.
Featuring Tim Dunn
What happens when a man of God confronts a man of power?
We explore the courage it takes to call someone out in love — and the humility it takes to receive correction. Nathan models bold obedience. David models repentant surrender. Together, their story shows that true greatness isn’t found in perfection, but in repentance.
Featuring Chris Harper
Every man faces a war no one else can see.
In this episode, we dive into the internal struggle between flesh and Spirit, pride and surrender, ego and obedience.
Featuring Tim Dunn
In a culture that equates strength with dominance and control, this episode unpacks a deeper, biblical truth: real strength is revealed in submission to God.
Featuring Chris Morgan
In a world that rewards platform, power, and self-promotion, this episode explores the radical call of Christian humility. What does it truly mean to humble yourself—not as weakness, but as strength under submission to God?
Featuring Chris Harper
Character isn’t built in public moments; it’s formed in private obedience. And when pressure comes, success follows, or temptation knocks, character is what determines whether we stand or fall.
If you’re tired of surface-level faith and want a life anchored in truth, Character Counts invites you to pursue the kind of character that lasts—before God, before others, and when no one is watching.
Featuring Josiah Jones
BetterMan wants to introduce Mike Satterfield one of BetterMan’s newest national Speakers as he shares Where Is Your Jesus Now? a podcast that confronts faith where it actually lives—in doubt, suffering, and unanswered questions.

Fake Faith, Real Consequences confronts the danger of a faith that looks good on the outside but never reshapes the heart, the home, or the habits. Drawing from Scripture, real-life stories, and hard truths Jesus Himself spoke.
This podcast isn’t about perfection; it’s about integrity. It calls men to stop performing, stop hiding, and stop outsourcing their spiritual leadership. Instead, it challenges listeners to embrace a faith that costs something—a faith that shows up when no one is watching, stands firm under pressure, and produces real obedience. Fake Faith, Real Consequences is a wake-up call for men to trade comfort for conviction, appearance for authenticity, and religion for a living, active relationship with Christ.
Featuring Pastor Jonathan "JP" Pokluda
In Chains of the Screen, we confront the often-hidden grip of pornography and its impact on the heart, mind, and soul. This episode explores how what begins as private entertainment can quietly become a chain—distorting desire, numbing intimacy, and reshaping how we see God, ourselves, and others.
This conversation unpacks the spiritual battle behind the screen, revealing why pornography is not merely a habit to break, but a heart issue that calls for transformation. We examine the lies porn sells about freedom and fulfillment, contrast them with God’s design for intimacy, and address the shame that keeps so many trapped in silence.
Featuring Pastor Bryan Hurlbutt
Take the 30 Day Challenge with https://thefreedomfight.org
In this episode, we explore Jesus’ challenging call to discipleship—a call that costs us far more than comfort, convenience, or cultural approval. we unpack what it truly means to follow Christ: denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and surrendering control of our lives. Discipleship is not an add-on to faith but a complete reorientation of our priorities, relationships, and ambitions. While salvation is a free gift of grace, following Jesus demands obedience, perseverance, and sometimes sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to count the cost honestly, reject shallow faith, and embrace the deeper joy and freedom found in wholehearted devotion to Christ—even when it’s difficult.
Featuring Pastor Chris Harper
In a culture obsessed with speed, productivity, and constant noise, Scripture invites us to pause. From the very beginning, God models rest—pausing on the seventh day not out of exhaustion, but intention. Pausing is not weakness; it is worship.
Throughout the Bible, we see that God often does His deepest work in moments of stillness. Jesus regularly withdrew to lonely places to pray. Elijah encountered God not in the wind or fire, but in a gentle whisper. Psalm 46:10 calls us to “Be still, and know that I am God,” reminding us that clarity, direction, and peace flow from slowing down before Him.

In this episode, we explore God’s answer to Habakkuk’s cry: “Write the vision; make it plain.” God assures the prophet that His justice will come at the appointed time—even if it seems delayed. Habakkuk 2 contrasts the pride of the wicked with the faith of the righteous, declaring that “the righteous will live by faith.” Through a series of “woes,” God exposes the emptiness of greed, violence, injustice, and idolatry, reminding us that human power always falls short. The passage ends with a call to reverent trust: the Lord reigns from His holy temple, and all the earth is invited to stand in awe before Him.

At Lifeline Church West Jordan, Utah
In this episode, we examine how Christians can recognize and withstand Satan’s attacks by standing on the truth of God’s Word. Scripture teaches that spiritual battles are real, but believers are not powerless. Through deception, temptation, and discouragement, the enemy seeks to weaken faith—but God provides everything needed to stand firm.
Featuring Pastor JP Pokluda
At Harris Creek Baptist Church Waco, Texas
In today’s episode, we consider the idea of “A Christian Bucket List”—a collection of spiritual goals and milestones shaped not by the world’s standards, but by lasting values rooted in Christ. We’ll explore what it looks like to set meaningful, faith-driven goals—experiences that deepen your walk with God, serve others, and build a legacy of impact. From sharing your faith with someone new, to serving on a mission trip, to mentoring a younger man or reading the entire Bible, these aspirations are more than checklist items—they are invitations to live courageously for God’s purposes.
Featuring Pastor Josiah Jones
At Keystone Church Student Gathering 2025
As Christian men, we are called to more than just living for ourselves—we are called to impact the world around us for God’s glory. But making a difference doesn’t always mean big platforms or public recognition. It starts with faithfulness in the small things: loving your family well, serving your church, living with integrity at work, and investing in your community.
Featuring Pastor Tony Johnson
At the BetterMan Michigan Conference 2025
Your story matters deeply—not just to you, but to God. As Christian men called to authentic discipleship, we recognize that each of our stories is a unique part of God’s larger narrative. Understanding your story means looking back honestly at your triumphs, struggles, and turning points. It’s about seeing where God’s hand has guided, reshaped, and restored you, even in moments of uncertainty or failure.

Intergenerational discipleship is the intentional passing on of faith, wisdom, and life experience from one generation to another.

In this episode, “Boys will be boys”—a saying often tossed around to excuse rowdy or even harmful male behavior. But is this phrase harmless fun, or does it undermine the biblical vision for Godly Manhood? We’ll explore how this cliché can actually be destructive to true masculinity, especially within the Christian worldview. Rather than encouraging men to rise to higher standards of integrity and responsibility, it can become a license for selfishness, aggression, and emotional distance. We discuss how Scripture calls men to strength AND gentleness, courage AND compassion, never using their nature as an excuse for sin.

Becoming too comfortable in your Christian faith can lead to spiritual stagnation and complacency. When believers settle into routines, it’s easy to lose passion, stop growing, and ignore God’s calling to deeper relationship and service. Comfort can lull Christians into neglecting prayer, worship, Bible study, and outreach, making faith more about ritual than genuine connection with God. Jesus often challenged His followers to step out of their comfort zones, serving sacrificially and trusting Him through challenges. True faith is active, continually seeking God’s will, serving others, and striving to become more Christlike. Staying spiritually alert and open to growth ensures believers don’t drift away, but instead live purposefully and make a meaningful impact for God’s Kingdom.

In this episode, we explore the profound and often debated question: “What is truth?”—delving deep into this topic from a Christian perspective.

Chris shares about the crucial role that close male friendships play in a man’s spiritual journey. Genuine, Christ-centered brotherhood isn’t just about hanging out or enjoying common interests—it’s about surrounding yourself with friends who challenge you, encourage you, and, most importantly, push you to know Jesus more intimately. If you want to grow closer to Jesus, you can’t do it alone. You need brothers in Christ who will encourage, correct, pray for you, and keep pushing you to seek Jesus above all else.

- When we get to our teenage years, we want to grow strong.
- As we move into our adult years, we want to grow wise.
The process of growing up, growing strong, and growing wise all seem pretty straight-forward. What if a man wants to grow spiritually? How does that work? Well, today's guest will help us answer that question. Today, Dr. Nathan Wagnon joins Adam in the studio to talk about how men grow spiritually.
Nathan is on staff at Watermark Community Church, where he serves as the director of Equipping and Apologetics. He's also the host of Watermark's Equipping Podcast.
He's a graduate of Ouachita Baptist University and Dallas Seminary. He's also served in the Army and did two deployments in Afghanistan.
You can connect with Nathan here.
NOTE: During the intro to this episode, we mistakenly said that Nathan has a PhD from Biola University. That was incorrect. Nathan has a DMin, not a PhD. We apologize for the confusion!

How do we receive our manhood? How do we focus on our identity rather than our image?

There is no better day than today for action. Passivity promises the hope of tomorrow without action. We need to reject the easy and embrace the hard meaningful tasks, conversations, and journeys.
Who is over you, under you, beside you, in front or behind you? Who is against you?
These are the relationships that will shape your life. Choose wisdom in who you put in these places and how you interact with these relationships.

So what is the fix? Listen in. It is more simple than you might think.

We often talk about God's word and the need to meditate on it. Today we are making space as you listen to do just that. Don't miss the opportunity to listen to His word and reflect on what He has for you!

Don't wait till you are out of college, promoted, making a certain amount, or owning a certain title to believe that what you do matters.
Aligning our view of work to God's view allows us to creatively express God's design. Competency and mastery in our craft is often an effective way to influence others and create opportunities for gospel conversations.

The last episode was about receiving hype. This episode is about receiving unwarranted hate/discouragement.
What strategies can we take to not let hate discourage us?
Don't assume their motives, pray for your detractors often, and recognize that some of the pain they're transferring is coming from an unresolved place of hurt.
When it comes to feedback, don't internalize one-off comments and consider it as authoritative as God's word. Sometimes, we just have different preferences and that's okay.

What if the everyday temptations we face are causing us to stray further from the path of righteousness? When we discuss the allure of lustful thoughts and adultery, we aren't simply theorizing, but sharing real-life experiences. We share an encounter involving meeting Steve Ferrara's widow and the struggle faced when an attractive woman was present, underscoring the necessity of checking our thoughts and actions. We dissect the biblical perspective on adultery, emphasizing that it's more common than we think - with 25% of married men engaging in extramarital affairs.
We don't just stop at identifying the problem; we explore solutions, especially in how we perceive women. We stress the need for men to see women as God's daughters, and as someone's wife. We advocate for open discussions about these issues, because it's through these conversations that we can hold each other accountable.

What is God's best for us in dating?
More men in the 18-44 years bracket have cohabitated than have tied the knot. This paradigm shift from marriage to cohabitation is influenced by several factors, including high housing costs, income issues, and society's growing acceptance of cohabitation. But is this really helpful in dating?
We won't stop at just examining trends, we'll also dive into the repercussions of cohabitation. Uncover the delicate balance between physical and emotional capital in relationships and why the notion of platonic relationships is almost non-existent in cohabitation.

Have you ever wondered about the impact of pornography on our lives and how it affects our brains? Join us for a revealing conversation with Sam Black, the Director of Life Change Education at Covenant Eyes, as we explore ways people overcome or avoid pornography addiction altogether.
With his background as a former journalist and author of two books, The Porn Circuit: Understanding How Your Brain Interacts with Pornography and The Healing Church, Sam shares valuable insights on how Covenant Eyes fosters transparency and accountability through self-chosen allies, setting the groundwork for lasting change.

Finally, we address the impact of pornography on churches, its potential to undermine ministries, and the vital role of apps like Covenant Eyes in combating this issue.

The process of growing up, growing strong, and growing wise all seem pretty straight-forward.

Men like to compete. It's in our nature.
Many times, our spirit of competition can be helpful and make life a little more fun.
However, sometimes, our spirit of competition can hurt us.
When our competitive nature carries over into our relationship with Jesus, things don't typically turn out the way we want.
Being a Christian isn't a sport, and it's not a competition.
If you ever find yourself competing with other Christians or competing for God's love, then today's episode is for you.
