Traversing Manhood: Recent Episodes
Ryan Gauthier
Welcome to the Traversing Manhood podcast, I am your host Ryan Gauthier. Where I invite you into some topics, subjects, and discussions to explore and expand our perspectives, mindset and understanding on this journey of manhood. So that we can mature, learn, grow, show up better, be better, and feel better about our lives while we go on the greatest journey of our secular lives.
Your emotions don’t make you weak — they make you ready. Real masculinity starts with emotional honesty.
In this episode of Wired for the Kingdom, I sit down with an old mentor of mine — the one and only EQ Gangster — to unpack what it really means to be a man who can feel, process, and lead from emotional wholeness.
*This is a call to every Kingdom man: Own your inner world, so you can lead your outer world.

It helps more men discover the mission and join us on the narrow path!
In today's Episode Ryan Gauthier Breaks down the kingdom principle of Persistence & resilience. Not just as a motivational buzzword, but as a spiritual weapon. Drawing from personal struggles, real-world stories, and biblical truth. Ryan teaches why showing up again and again - especially when it doesn't make sense is a mark of true resilience and faith.
You will hear how persistence is NOT annoying to God - It's FAITH IN MOTION. Through scriptures like Matthew 7:7-8 and Luke 18:8 this message calls every man of God to step back into the battle: prayer in purpose, in love and in calling.
Whether you've been worn out, stuck or ready to give up, this episode will stir something in your spirit and remind you that sometimes all it takes is ONE MORE TRY WITH THE SAME OLD PLIERS.
Topics Covered:
- Spiritual resilience
- Biblical Persistence
- Faith in Adversity
- Fatherhood, Leadership, and purpose

Welcome to the debut of "Wired for the Kingdom," formerly known as "Traversing Manhood." This rebrand reflects a broader and more unfiltered exploration into what it means to live a spiritually enriched life. While the core themes remain, expect discussions that are rawer and cast a wider net over the complexities of modern manhood.
In our first episode, we dive deep into the essence of spiritual aliveness. Inspired by John Eldredge's concept of us as 'amphibians,' navigating both physical and spiritual realms, we challenge the superficial practices of religion to discover a dynamic walk with God. Hear a personal story that exemplifies the real spiritual battle and the victory of connection over fear.
Are your spiritual practices bringing you closer to God, or are they just motions? Join us as we embrace the genuine encounter with the Divine, transforming routine into revelation.

🚀 Why This Matters 🚀
Men today are often on a wide road with no clear direction, meandering through life without purpose. I share how stepping onto the 'narrow path'—a structured, God-guided life—can illuminate our journey and lead us to fulfillment. 🧭 Implementing a Framework for Life 🧭 Explore the 4H’s—Health, Heart, Harmony, and Hustle—to create a balanced life that not only aims for personal success but also enhances our ability to serve those around us. These principles are not just concepts; they are actionable strategies that can dramatically improve your life.

Passion is never a singular trait that you can posess. Your passion is directly tied to your purpose!
Without Purpose you have no Passion!
The important things in life like marriage, fatherhood, fitness, spiritual connecion with God... The purpose in these areas are no so obvious, so it is vital that you create and define a purpose always and forever so you don't lose your passion and zeal for life.
The best way to identify purpose is to humble yourself and realize you are a work in progress always in need of learning and growth!
Additionally we are built for community! If you are currently isolated and living on an island with no men in your life who inspire you and encourage you then Join The Mighty Men today!

God speaks to us through nature!
There is much inspiration, rejuvenation, and lessons to be learned from the outdoors
Today's episode I sat down with Ryan George author of the book Scared To Life: Tales of a good God who reveals his heart when ours is racing.
Walking with God is not easy
Even more so, receiving God's truth, wisdom, and provision in becoming equipped to raise children, manage money, and hard times, stay married, and make your life count.
It all comes down to how practical your faith is or is it just a heartfelt theory you hope will play out for you.
Today's episode is all about how to take your faith to the next level and achieve results from it.

Every man has obstacles that are formed against him personally by the enemy, the great force. the great liar. Part of the problem we have fighting this force is what we focus on, our attitude. It is too easy for us to just point out what we can't do instead of taking the step and action we can take.
In today's monologue I talk about the attitude switch it takes to overcome the well-placed obstacles the enemy throws your way.

Anytime you hear about what people are trying to do in life it almost certainly will involve a big end state. There is typically a giant prize that is being hunted down.
My contention is that our true purpose in life is not to win a prize in the form of that dream job or a certain amount of money etc. but to become people of true value. To become quality, intelligent and loving people. By doing so the fruit we are after will come.
I dive in more on why chasing the end result (fruit) in our lives is not the best approach in today's episode.

We have all heard the saying that idle hands are the enemies play thing.
It can be easy to just go to work, come home and fill that time with un-productive and non-life giving activity.
That ease leads to an unbalanced life that feels blah and passionless and can make us irritable and uneasy and so much more.
In todays episode I discuss how important it is for men to have an avocation... and how that can impact their families and their communities.

The problem is who are the standard bearers?

In today's episode I dive into standards and why they are so important to us as men.

The last episode in the Three part series principles of relationships.
This episode covers the principle " It's more about you, then you think"
So much effort and energy is spent on trying to fix others or wait for others too fix themselves instead of making sure you in alignment with God and fully submitted to the ways of our Lord.
This principle is by you getting yourself right, others around you will get right.
Relationships are a critical aspect of a man's success in life. Jesus came to save people not for religion.
Each one of us has numerous relationships that when strong and healthy allow us as men to be at our best.
In today's Episode I discuss the principle " You get out, what you put in "
How much are you investing into your relationships?
How intentional about daily interaction are you?
These are important questions that must be addressed in order for our relationships to improve.
Stop doing what you can and feel and do what you must!
Communication in relationships is absolutely paramount!
Today's episode covers the THREE primary places that we communicate from.
-
Friend
-
Husband
-
Leader

We are creatures of habit right? I agree with this and think that this fact has an upside. I also recognize the downside and wanted to share that downside with you.
In this episode I am discussing how too much habit can create a bubble or comfort zone that holds you back from growth and hinders perspective on how we think about the world and how we make decisions and the people we spend time with.
So get outside the bubble and open up again to reach the next level.

As the man of the house you are called to lead.
Leadership is not easy or simple.
Leading your home and your family and yourself is a journey that requires tons of patience, perspective, learning and practice.
As men we should all commit to being practitioners of leadership so we can show up best for those in our charge.
Today, I spoke with Pastor Michael Fletcher on this very topic and he share some key insights from his perspective and experience.

Lack of purpose and a deep sense of fulfillment is crippling your happiness, you connection with your wife and children, your ability to show up to your career or for you business.
You can find purpose and you can live on purpose.
When you discover how to do both your wife will notice. your kids will come to you more and speak with you more fully and openly, and be more teachable. Your wife will want to follow your leadership and example. Your direct reports will show up better more consistently.
You will feel like a king!
The word warrior maybe overused but it has meaning. When it is time to step up to your life and to step up to the enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy it means YOU!
Someone who is engaged in warfare.
Well guess what my friend? You are engaged in warfare.
It is between you and the enemy.
It is between you and the many versions of you that are less than what you were made and called to be.
Be that warrior and fight!
The way we think is far more important than what we think. This way of thinking can be referred to as our stories.
The stories we tell are our biggest obstacles we must face to change our results.

In our hearts we know there is something wrong with society and its systems. for some reason nothing seems to be able to fix it the way we want it fixed.
I believe it is because we are focused on the systems and not the source. In order to discover and focus on the source we must live in Truth and follow philippians 4:8.

Man was created and placed on this earth to have dominion over the whole process of becoming and sustaining. Unfortunately most men's lives have been reduced to part of the process of becoming and not whole.
Most have outsourced their masculinity and their dominion to others especially the state in which they live and the government.
This outsourcing has left man confused and half of what he could be. find out why in this episode.
Today I Invite you to take a deeper look at the gap between who you are now and who you want to become.
This gap can be a great battle for the hearts and minds of men, and lead to anxiety filled, and confusing and negative lifestyle.
If you are anything like me, you've spent countless nights and hours trying to figure out how to jump this gap and step more fully into who you want to be and who you are called to be as MEN.
So I lay out a two step plan on how to go deep and attack the disease that is causing the symptoms you're experiencing on a day to day basis.
Step #1: Gain clarity on YOU.
-
Your capacity for love, gentleness, kindness, thoughtfulness.
-
Your Emotional Intelligence
-
Your values, beliefs, thoughts, habits, faith and commitment to a relationship with God.
and how its affecting your external world.
Step #2: No shortcut
- patience and action.
Chaos is a weapon wielded by the enemy of God. It is a shapeless, formless energy that seeks to steal, kill and destroy anything you have going for you in your career, relationships, walk with God, by inciting internal anxiety, fear, and shame. So, what are we supposed to do with this ancient weapon?
Allen Arnold: Author, speaker, creativity mentor, christian communicator, fiction writer award winner joins me in a conversation over his book "Chaos Can't" that lays out the answer to our defense and re-attack strategy to Chaos.
Listen in to discover and overcome Chaos.

Most fathers want to believe that their doing a good job, right?
yes of course.
How many fathers are actually doing a good job?
In this episode I divulge FIVE critical factors or lessons for the aspiring father or current father to consider while traversing their journey of manhood.
Man was created and placed in the wilderness. Meaning his identity and masculinity lies within the dirt solid earth, the air, the water and all the things that grow from it and habitat on it.
There is a major shift in the way men are living their lives and that shift is not good and is infecting the hearts and minds of men.
This episode is a call to men to get outside of their home's and their comfort zones to regain the masculinity they lost when they jumped on the playstation and indulged on Netflix.
In this episode I discuss the following;
-
Statistics of outdoor participation
-
benefits of participating in more outdoor activity
-
The transfer of masculinity to our sons
-
The transfer of valuable skills and mindset to your youth.
You have heard the saying "No pain, no gain", and you have heard that there is no growth in your comfort zone. I am here to repeat that message and tell you its true, and break it down for you.
Moments occur in our life where we start to "feel it" right? We got on the struggle bus and feel afraid or hurt or nervous or whatever. In that exact moment lies the choice. The choice is to lean in and figure what God is trying to teach you and show you or you run away or hide away and stay the same. The choice is Move forward or move backward. You cannot stand still in life. Your either going forward or your going backward.
Everyday there are little moments or big moments where this choice is presented, where you feel discomfort or pain and in those moments if you want to stop talking about changing and stop pretending your on the personal growth journey then act in those moments. Be different and do different.
A lot of people, myself included have been wondering how do you actually begin to change. Well simple when something comes up and you want to do the comfortable thing DONT!
The Journey of Manhood is not an easy one and I want to invite you to traverse it with me.
I am no expert by any means but I am willing to step up and step out and do everything I can to improve my position as a father, a husband, a friend and so on.
I also very much want to do everything I can to speak into your life and help you as much as humanly possible do the same because together we can accomplish a lot.
Here at the Traversing Manhood podcast I will be bringing on guests on various topics, and dropping solo content on things from outdoors, politics, fatherhood, husbandry, brotherhood and much much more.
Join me and lets work together to move forward and live more happy and healthier and wholesome lives.
