This episode is lesson one from our Foundations of Masculinity course. I start with a true story out of Kruger National Park in 1993, where wildlife officials relocated a group of young male elephants without any older males to guide them. Within a few years, rangers started finding endangered white rhinos brutally killed, not by poachers, but by these juvenile elephants who had no elder to show them how to act. The second they flew in a few older bull elephants, the chaos stopped. When I first heard that story, it hit me like a truck, because it's exactly what's happening to men in our culture today.
From there, I trace how we got here, starting with the sexual revolution of the 1960s and Woodstock's "free love" philosophy, and how removing responsibility and courtship from relationships between men and women actually backfired, leading to a massive spike in fatherlessness that's still wrecking families today. I break down the real difference between being male, being masculine, and being a manly man, and why manhood isn't something you're born with, it's something that has to be poured into you by other men. I also get personal, sharing my own dad's story of growing up without a father and how my grandfather, a hardworking farmer, shaped an entire ethos around what it means to be a man, even without ever using the word "masculinity."
By the end of this episode, I dig into what Scripture actually says about a man's role, starting in Genesis, and I talk honestly about the different but equally valuable roles men and women carry, using some pretty relatable stories from my own marriage and home along the way. If you've ever felt confused about what it means to be a man in today's world, or if you've caught yourself acting more like a "man boy" chasing short-term gratification instead of long-term reward, this episode is for you. I close it out with a prayer over every man listening. Thanks for tuning in, and if this episode hits home, share it with a friend who needs to hear it. Stay brave, and we'll see you next week.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This episode comes straight from our BraveCo conference. John open's by walking through one of my favorite overlooked stories in Scripture: the resurrection morning where Jesus spends his first hours back from the dead playing what can only be described as practical jokes on his closest friends. If you've never noticed Jesus's sense of humor in the text, I promise once you see it, you can't unsee it, and it changes how you relate to Him.
From there, John lays out a framework I've spent years developing: the masculine journey through the stages of beloved son, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, and sage. John uses David and Goliath, stories from his own life growing up on my grandfather's cattle ranch, and even a scene from Kingdom of Heaven to show how God doesn't just drop courage and identity on us out of nowhere. He initiates us through real experiences, one stage at a time, and most of us are walking around as unfinished men still needing to be built up in one of these areas, whether that's beloved-ness, adventure, the fight with our enemy, or learning to truly know our wife's heart.
The second half of this talk is where John get's really practical, because none of this framework matters if you can't hear your Father's voice for yourself. John shares some of the wildest, most personal stories of God speaking to me, through a nalgene bottle, an underwear tag, and a canceled sermon that turned out to save me from disaster, and then John walk's the room through simple, no-pressure ways to start recognizing his voice in your own life. We close together in a guided time of prayer, facing our fears, asking the Father hard questions, and breaking agreements we've made with the enemy about who we are as men. If you're hungry for more of God and tired of trying to figure life out on your own, this one is for you. Stay brave, and I'll see you next week.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week's Brave Co episode is from my time teaching at Danny Silk's Keep Your Love On University. I dig into a question I ask almost everyone I talk to: what's your actual process for dealing with pain? Most men, even tough guys, don't have a real answer, they just medicate with food, alcohol, work, or scrolling, and I walk through why that always backfires, using James 1, the picture of a farmer sowing in tears, and a hunting analogy about always taking the hard way instead of the easy way.
I get personal in this one and tell the full story of finding out my wife was having an affair, what it felt like to want to eject from my whole life with three kids depending on me, and why I eventually realized there was no shortcut, only one path through the pain. I break down why hope and vision matter more than willpower, including the wild "Rat With Hope" experiment and why couples I counsel don't need me to fix their old marriage, they need vision for a new one. Then I shift into forgiveness, probably the most misused word in the church, and explain why "just give it to Jesus" or "nail it to the cross" doesn't actually work if you've never processed the pain underneath it.
By the end, I lay out the five real steps I use and teach couples and individuals to actually work through pain and get to genuine forgiveness rooted in compassion, not obligation. This episode runs long because we did a full teaching plus Q&A, but if you've ever felt stuck reliving the same pain over and over, this gives you an actual framework, not just theory. Stay brave out there.

Connect with Sathiya: https://www.sathiyasam.com/
Jay and Sathiya both grew up in the church, and we both know what it's like when the emotional side of manhood gets either fully embraced or completely rejected. In this episode, we get into why fatherlessness, not war, addiction, or incarceration on their own, is actually the root issue behind almost every major crisis we see in families today, and why healing fathers is the only way to stop producing broken sons.
We trace how the s*xual revolution of the 1960s and 70s quietly rewired an entire culture away from responsibility and toward instant gratification, and how that shift is still playing out in dating, marriage, and fatherlessness today. Jay also walks through something I think every man needs to hear: where you're at right now probably isn't your fault, but it is your responsibility to fix. He breaks down a real, practical five-step process for working through pain instead of just slapping a "blanket of forgiveness" over your whole life, including a raw personal story about processing his own divorce through journaling, and why forgiving from compassion is so much more powerful than forgiving out of pure obligation.
Toward the end, we zoom out to talk about what actually changes a society: not just rules, but men rediscovering that responsibility, not happiness, is what gives life real purpose. Jay unpacks his framework for fatherhood, protect, provide, and promote, and explains what "promote" really means through the lens of discover, develop, deploy, the same process his own dad used to help him find his calling as a counselor at 13 years old. If you're a man carrying father wounds, or you're a dad trying to break a cycle before it starts, this episode gives you language and tools for both. Stay brave out there.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
I sat down with my daughter-in-law Alley for one of the most requested conversations on the Brave Co podcast: how to actually date well. We dig into why so few people were ever taught how to date, what it really means to be ready for a relationship, and why "dating yourself" first changes everything about how you show up for someone else.
From there, Alley and I walk through defining the relationship instead of letting it drift "organically," why trust in marriage actually starts on your very first date, and how leading with intentionality removes so much of the anxiety that ruins modern dating. Then we get into the intimacy ladder, fourteen questions I've used to figure out whether someone is safe, fun, aligned in values, and ready to build a real future, including how to handle a partner's past, how to fight fair, and how to keep God (not each other) as your source of security.
If you're dating, thinking about dating, or just want to understand why your relationship feels stuck at a certain level, this episode gives you a real framework instead of guesswork. Stay brave out there, and if this helped you, subscribe to the Brave Co podcast and share it with someone who needs it.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week's episode is something special — it's John Eldridge's live message from our Brave Co conference, and it is one of the most powerful things I've ever witnessed delivered to a room full of men. John opens with Proverbs 4:23 and builds an entire framework around a single, urgent idea: the heart is the center of everything. Your ability to love, to fight, to chase your calling, to win your kids, to find joy — all of it flows from your heart. And if your heart has been shut down, beaten up, or buried under years of performance and pain, nothing else in your life is going to work the way God designed it to.
John walks through three things wired into the masculine soul — battle, adventure, and beauty — and what happens when men lose access to them. He does a live exercise with the room around favorite movies that is genuinely one of the most illuminating things I've ever seen, showing how story is the language of the heart and how the films we love are whispering clues about our true identity and mission. He also takes on the emasculated version of Jesus that most men have been handed by the church — the soft, religious, timid figure who no man would actually follow into battle — and replaces it with the fierce, brilliant, playful, deeply human Jesus of the Gospels.
The core of this message is a call to wholeheartedness — not more discipline, not more willpower, but the actual restoration of the heart that Jesus came to accomplish. John is a therapist with 30 years of experience and thousands of men behind him, and he is not speaking in theory. He's speaking from the trenches of his own story. If you are a man who has been grinding hard and still feeling like something essential is missing, this message is for you. Please share it, leave a comment, and subscribe so more men can hear it. Stay brave.

Connect with Todd: https://www.ridinghighministries.org/about
In this episode, I sit down with one of my best friends on the planet, Todd Pierce — a former professional bareback rider who competed in over 100 rodeos a year and now runs Riding High Ministries, where he breaks wild horses in front of live audiences as a living picture of man's relationship with God. Todd takes us inside the brutal world of professional rodeo: the borrowed gear, the 15-plus knockouts, the broken bones, the nights driving through the dark eating hot dogs just to get to the next event. But what really hits different is hearing him talk about what the rodeo life couldn't prepare him for — being a husband and a father who actually shows up emotionally.
What makes Todd's story so powerful is that he spent years doing ministry — real, sincere, devoted ministry — and still giving surface-level answers to deeply hurting men. It wasn't until he discovered tools around emotional intelligence, culture of honor, and the courage to say "I don't know what I'm doing" that things started to shift. Hearing him describe the moment his son Colton sat him down and told him what it was like to grow up with him — and watching Todd actually receive it instead of deflect it — is one of the most honest and healing things I've ever witnessed in a man.
If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still falling short at home, this episode is for you. Todd and I get into how men unknowingly inherit an operating system they never chose, why toughness without vulnerability will cost you the people you love most, and what it actually looks like to create a new culture in your marriage, your parenting, and your walk with God. This conversation will challenge you and, I believe, set something free in you. Stay brave.

Connect with Abi: https://www.instagram.com/abistumvoll/
I don't bring many women onto BraveCo, but when I do, it's because they have something that men need to hear — something they won't get anywhere else. Abby Stumble is one of my oldest and most trusted friends, and this conversation is one of the most honest ones I've ever had on this podcast. Abby grew up thinking she had a great childhood. She was wrong. A mentally ill, drug-addicted mother. A home full of chaos she internalized as her own failure. Panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, self-hatred, and a body she despised — all without a single clear explanation for why. It wasn't until she was 37 that the real story started to unravel. And what happened next changed everything she thought she knew about herself, her marriage, and what healing actually looks like.
We go deep into marriage in this one — specifically what happened when two beautiful train-wrecks decided to build a life together. Abby and Justin's story is a masterclass in how broken attachment cycles play out in real relationships: the avoidant man who disappears, the anxious woman who picks fights just to pull him back, and both of them trauma-bonding through explosions they thought was just how love worked. Sound familiar? We unpack the exact moment their marriage started to change — and it wasn't a big dramatic breakthrough. It was ownership. Honesty without shame. Vulnerability that didn't demand rescue. And I share my own piece of this too, because for years I went home every night feeling like a boy, not a man — isolated, ashamed, and slowly drowning while Lauren watched me disappear. This is the conversation that brings all of that into the open.
And then Abby goes somewhere I didn't expect. She tells the story of a season four years ago when she was so sick she couldn't walk ten feet, had lost thirty pounds, and begged Justin — through genuine physical torment — to end her suffering. What she learned in that dark place about present-moment living, nervous system regulation, collecting moments of good, and training your brain to attach to safety instead of pain is some of the most practical, life-changing content I've ever heard. If you're in a hard season right now — with your health, your marriage, your emotions, or your sense of who you are as a man — this episode is for you. Stay Brave.

I don't say this lightly — I finished this book in a single day. Dr. John Delony's Building a Non-Anxious Life is one of the most practical, honest, and genuinely helpful things I've put in front of the men who follow Brave Co. And before I even started asking questions, I had to be upfront with John about something: anxiety hasn't just been an academic topic for me. It's been my life. From OCD as a kid that I couldn't name, to coping in ways I'm not proud of, to a full nervous breakdown — I've spent years clawing my way out of a hole I didn't fully understand until much later. That's exactly why this conversation matters so much to me.
Dr. Delony has two PhDs, has worked in mental health for decades, and somehow manages to take the most complex stuff about how our brains and bodies work and make it simple enough to act on. In this episode, we unpack what anxiety actually is — not a disease, not a character flaw, not a broken brain — but a smoke detector. A signal. Your body working exactly the way it was designed to work to get your attention about something that isn't right in your world. We talk about the ticker tape of shame that runs under most men's lives, why so many high-achieving guys are secretly falling apart, what it means to actually love yourself, and why you absolutely cannot do this alone.
Dr. Delony also walks us through his six daily choices framework — Choose Reality, Choose Connection, Choose Freedom, Choose Health and Healing, Choose Mindfulness, and Choose Belief — and we get into the ones that hit me hardest personally. If you're a man who has ever felt like you're behind, like you're not doing enough, like no matter what you accomplish it still doesn't feel like it's working — this episode is going to stop you in your tracks. Go grab the book. Take the anxiety test at johndeloney.com. And stay brave.

I'll be honest — I almost didn't record this episode the way I did. Because it required me to sit across from one of my closest friends and one of the most gifted men I know when it comes to the presence of God, and admit that I've been struggling. Struggling to feel connected. Struggling to cultivate that place with the Holy Spirit that I know I'm supposed to have — especially after walking through five weeks of watching my mother-in-law die of cancer. That's not an easy thing to say as a pastor. But I said it anyway. And what Michael gave me back was one of the most practically powerful and spiritually deep conversations I've ever had on this podcast.
Michael Koulianos leads Jesus Image, a church and global movement, and there is genuinely no one I know who flows in the presence of God the way he does. In this episode, he walks us through his personal morning prayer routine — two hours, early, consistent for 20 years — and breaks down exactly what it looks like: silence, Bible reading from Genesis to Revelation looking for Jesus the whole way, worship, and a prayer list he's been building for years with names being crossed off one by one. But more than the mechanics, he talks about what it means to feel God's presence not as an emotional high but as a continual awareness. And he talks about mourning — why giving yourself permission to grieve is actually the door that opens to the Holy Spirit's comfort.
We also get into the real cost of leading a movement, the false sense of responsibility that burns leaders out, what God is actually doing on the earth right now, and why the cross isn't just the starting point of the Christian life — it's the whole shape of it. If you're a man who's been running on empty spiritually, or you've been grinding so hard you've lost the thread of why you started, this episode will recalibrate you. Carve out the time to watch the whole thing. It's worth every minute.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week's Brave Co podcast is a moment I've been waiting to share with you guys — John Eldredge live from our BraveCo conference last year, and I'm telling you, this one carries weight. John takes us all the way back to Adam in the garden and shows us how the original failure of masculinity — passivity, the failure to engage — is still being passed down through every generation of men. He unpacks the fig leaf every man wears, why what you meet when you meet a man is rarely his true heart, and how the poser inside of us is quietly keeping us from the life God designed us for.
John gets vulnerable about his own story — growing up as the only son of an alcoholic father, the trips to the river that ended, the police station ride home in absolute silence, and the vow he made as a teenager that he would never trust anyone. He talks about the wound every boy carries, the two questions every man is secretly asking — am I loved, and do I have what it takes — and how the way those questions were answered in our childhood is still shaping who we are today. If you've ever wondered why you medicate with work, alcohol, sex, or constant achievement, John explains it with a clarity I haven't heard anywhere else.
The back half of the episode moves into one of the most powerful guided prayer experiences I've ever sat in. John walks every man through inviting Jesus into the wounded places, forgiving the people who hurt us, breaking the agreements we've made about ourselves, and letting the older us finally bless the younger boy we've been ashamed of for years. This is sacred ground. Sit with it. Don't rush it. If this episode meets you in a deep place, share it with a man in your life and start marking your calendar for next year's BraveCo conference, June 21–23 in Redding, California.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week on the Brave Co Podcast, I'm getting personal about something that's been stirring in my heart for the last eight months — the role of a man as a watchman, a priest, and a contender in prayer. I'll be honest with you, I've never thought of myself as a prayer warrior in the same league as men like Lou Engle or Watchman Nee, but God has been pulling me into a deeper place. After a lunch with a friend who is genuinely a man of prayer, I started making small shifts — five minutes here, ten minutes there — and watching what God was doing in real time. This episode is me inviting you into that same stirring.
I walk through the four roles every man is called to step into — priest, prophet, king, and warrior — and zoom in on what it means to be a priest who goes to God on behalf of his family. We look at Isaiah 62, Ezekiel 22, Psalm 106, and the story of Moses literally changing God's mind on behalf of a rebellious nation. The truth is, God isn't lacking power. He's looking for men who will take ownership, men who will stand in the breach, men who refuse to let their families, their churches, and their cities go unprotected. That's you. That's me. That's our actual role.
I share a story from my childhood about falling asleep under the chairs at my dad's Friday night prayer meetings while men like Bill Johnson and Danny Silk contended in the room, and how that model is still shaping me today. I talk about the Businessmen's Revival in America and why I believe God is waking men up right now to do the same thing in this generation. If you've been passive, distracted, or unsure where to even start, this episode gives you a simple challenge — just five minutes. Start there, build the habit, and watch what shifts.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week on the Brave Co Podcast, I'm doing my absolute favorite thing — going live with you guys and tackling the questions you don't want to ask out loud anywhere else. We covered some heavy ground, from a husband who feels triggered by his wife's silent attitude, to a stay-at-home dad of five wondering if he's hit his ceiling, to a man wrestling with whether he's truly hearing God's voice about a big move. I tried to give each guy real, practical tools — not Christianese platitudes — because that's what we men actually need to grow.
A few themes kept rising to the surface as we worked through these conversations. Conflict resolution is a learned skill, not a personality trait, and most of us never had it modeled for us. The culture of your home is something you build on purpose, not something that just happens to you. And when it comes to hearing God, I'm convinced more men are paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong than are actually missing His will — because we serve a Father who's kind, not a trickster waiting for us to mess up. I shared the exact framework I use when I'm trying to make big decisions, and how I keep moving forward without spiritualizing my own passivity.
We closed with a powerful conversation with my friend Alejandro who's about to plant a church in Washington while caring for a wife who's hurting. I unpacked the three needs every woman has — to feel safe, seen, and known — and gave practical, doable steps any husband can start using this week to hit that target. If you want to lead your home well, this episode is loaded with tools.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I sat down with one of my closest friends, Richard Gordon, for a conversation I've been wanting to have for a long time. Richard is on our executive team at Bethel Church, and over the years I've had the privilege of watching him grow from a son in our house into one of the strongest fathers I know. We dug into the journey of moving from "what can I get?" to "what can I give?" — that quiet, often invisible shift that turns boys into men and sons into fathers.
We got real about marriage, parenting, and the things nobody warns you about — bedtime battles, sensory struggles with our kids, co-sleeping, and the seasons where you feel like you're failing even when you're showing up. I shared what it was like walking my daughter Edy through years of dysregulation after my mother-in-law passed, and Richard opened up about how God keeps inviting him deeper into leadership through his family first. We also talked about what I call "the noble drug" — the way work and ministry can quietly become an escape, even when it looks valiant from the outside.
If you're a husband, a dad, or a leader feeling pulled in a thousand directions, this conversation is for you. My prayer is that it gives you permission to make your family your number one team, to be led by vision instead of need, and to remember that the seasons that feel the hardest are often the ones you'll look back on as the most sacred.

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Zaugg, host of the Dad Awesome podcast and author of Dad Awesome, to talk about what it really takes to become an intentional, healthy, and present father. Jeff shares the story behind his new book, the lessons he has learned from years of conversations on fatherhood, and why every dad needs more than good intentions to lead his family well.
We talk honestly about the moments we have missed it as dads, the anger, pain, passivity, and unprocessed wounds that can come out on our kids if we do not bring them into the light. Jeff shares a powerful story about a snowball that broke trust with his daughter, and we discuss how repentance, self-awareness, brotherhood, and humility can bring healing instead of shame.
This conversation is for every dad who wants to grow, lead, and love his family with greater purpose. If fatherhood matters to you, it is worth investing in. Grab Jeff’s book at dadawesome.org and start building a plan for the kind of father you want to become.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with Martin West, a former fighter pilot turned leadership coach, to unpack what actually makes teams succeed or fail. After spending several days with him working on our own team, I realized something that challenged everything I thought I knew about leadership. It’s not just about having a great plan. It’s about what’s happening beneath the surface of your team dynamics.
We dive deep into the concept of vulnerability-based trust, constructive conflict, and why most teams settle for artificial harmony instead of real progress. Martin shares powerful lessons from his time flying F-18s, where every mission was scrutinized and feedback was constant. That level of accountability shaped how he now helps leaders eliminate dysfunction, build trust, and create environments where people can actually grow.
If you lead a team, a business, a family, or even want to become a better man, this conversation will challenge you. The biggest takeaway is simple but hard to accept: the leader is always the limit. But the good news is, once you become aware of it, you can start building a culture where truth, feedback, and growth become the norm—and that changes everything.

In this live Q&A episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I answer real questions from men navigating some of the hardest parts of life and relationships. We talk about anxious attachment in dating, how to slow down and build trust the right way, and why so much relationship anxiety comes from asking questions too early. I also break down a framework for healthy dating, emotional boundaries, physical intimacy, and how men can lead relationships with clarity instead of fear.
We also dive into what it looks like to take responsibility after failure without spiraling into shame. I speak directly into relapse, p*rnography, healing, counseling, and how to understand the deeper need underneath destructive patterns. This conversation is about ownership, connection, recovery, and learning how to respond to failure in a way that actually leads to growth. If you are trying to become a stronger man emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, this part of the episode will hit home.
In the final section, I answer a question from a husband and father trying to love his wife well during a demanding season of work, babies, financial pressure, and exhaustion. I share practical advice for marriage, communication, small daily connection points, supporting your wife, and leading your family when life feels stretched thin. This episode is packed with honest coaching for men who want to grow in masculinity, relationships, emotional health, and responsibility.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode, I challenge men to look at marriage from a completely different perspective. I ask one honest question: if your marriage was a business, how would it be doing? Most of us would never run our company, career, or mission the way we run our marriage. We plan for business, measure business, invest in business, and protect business. But too often, we let marriage drift and then wonder why it feels disconnected.
I break down the four things every successful business has that every strong marriage also needs: ownership, investment, regular check-ins, and vision. I talk through practical ways Lauren and I have applied these principles in our own marriage, from daily touch points and intentional conversations to taking responsibility for areas I used to avoid. This is not about treating your wife like an employee. It is about leading with stewardship, clarity, and purpose.
If you feel like your marriage has been running on autopilot, this episode will help you slow down, take an honest look, and make meaningful changes. I believe strong marriages do not happen by accident. They are built through intentional leadership, daily investment, and a clear vision for what you are creating together. If this episode helps you, send it to a friend and share it with another man who needs it.

What does it look like to take on something so hard that it exposes every weakness, every excuse, and every limit you thought you had? In this episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I sit down with my friends to unpack the full story behind the Peak to Peak challenge: climbing Mount Shasta, biking 112 miles, and then climbing Mount Lassen all in one push. What started as a wild idea became a brutal test of endurance, brotherhood, planning, and resilience.
We talk through all three attempts, including what went wrong the first two times, the physical and mental breakdowns that came with failure, and the specific changes that finally led to success. This conversation is about more than mountains and miles. It is about what happens in a man when he chooses challenge over comfort, gets around the right people, and refuses to quit when things get painful.
If you have been feeling stuck, bored, discouraged, or disconnected from purpose, this episode is a reminder that growth often begins with saying yes to something hard. Whether that is a physical challenge, a new business, deeper brotherhood, or simply taking the next brave step in life, this conversation will push you to stop waiting for confidence and start building it through action.

The world feels more divided than ever, especially when it comes to war, politics, and truth. In this episode, I sit down with my friend David to process what’s really happening in the world right now, specifically around Iran and the growing global conflict. This is not about having all the answers, it’s about asking the right questions. What is actually true? Who can we trust? And how should we respond as men of faith when the stakes feel this high?
We wrestle with the tension between pacifism and the idea of a just war. What did Jesus actually mean when He said to love your enemies? Does that apply in every situation, even when evil is present? We talk through real-life scenarios, personal experiences, and biblical frameworks to try and understand what responsibility looks like when it comes to protecting our families, standing against evil, and staying rooted in love.
At the end of the day, this conversation comes back to the heart. How do I lead myself and my family well in a time filled with fear, confusion, and conflicting information? How do I stay grounded in truth without becoming consumed by headlines? My hope is that this episode challenges you to think deeper, seek God more intentionally, and live with both strength and compassion in a complicated world.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this live BraveCo Q&A, I answer real questions about marriage, parenting, anxiety, overwhelm, spiritual leadership, and emotional health. We talk about what happens when one spouse takes over, when the other shuts down, and how fear, childhood wounds, and control can quietly shape the way we relate to each other. If you have ever felt stuck in the same patterns in your marriage, this conversation will help you identify what is really going on beneath the surface.
I also dig into some of the most important challenges couples face in family life: learning how to trust each other, dealing with chronic overwhelm, becoming more intentional as a parent, and navigating different parenting styles without tearing each other apart. We talk honestly about conflict avoidance, procrastination, emotional triggers, nervous system stress, and what it looks like to create an actual plan for growth instead of just surviving the moment.
My hope in this episode is to give you practical language, deeper clarity, and real encouragement for the places where your marriage and family feel stretched. Whether you are preparing for your first child, trying to heal from your own upbringing, or learning how to love your spouse well in the middle of tension, this episode is full of honest insight and actionable direction.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode, I tackle a question that has been heavy on my heart for a long time: am I simply a Christian, or am I actually a disciple of Jesus? There is a real difference between believing in Jesus and surrendering my entire life to Him. I break down why discipleship is more than church attendance, worship songs, or identifying as a believer. It is about obedience, surrender, carrying my cross, and arranging my life around the commands of Christ.
I also talk about how the modern church can sometimes reduce discipleship to participation instead of transformation. Jesus preached to crowds, but His model was never built on crowds alone. His model was life-on-life discipleship. In this conversation, I unpack the Great Commission, why preaching the gospel is the doorway and not the destination, and why every believer is called not just to consume, but to reproduce what God has done in them.
This episode is a challenge to men who want more than a casual faith. I speak directly to the call of biblical masculinity, spiritual leadership, repentance, obedience, and kingdom multiplication. If you have ever felt the tension between simply attending church and truly living as a disciple of Jesus, this conversation will challenge you to raise the standard and ask the deeper question: who am I becoming, and who am I leading?

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
We’re living in a moment where masculinity is mocked and a lot of men feel unsure of what strength actually looks like. In this live BraveCo Q&A, I answer real questions men are sending in—marriage conflict, emotional connection, boundaries in friendships, leadership in business, spiritual father wounds, fatherhood, and rebuilding trust after betrayal. My goal is simple: give you practical tools you can use today, not theory.
If your conversations with your wife keep turning into arguments, I’m going to show you why it happens and how to change the outcome—starting with a “soft start” and learning how to listen without loading your rebuttal. We’ll also talk about how to help your wife feel heard (and how you can feel heard too), plus what it means to be a safe place for her emotions without trying to fix, shame, or run.
Then we go deeper: what to do when a friend relationship becomes draining, how to build reciprocal friendships, how to pursue spiritual fathers without turning them into idols, and how to rebuild trust the right way after lies, secrecy, or betrayal. If you’re ready to protect connection, lead with clarity, and become a stronger man—this episode is for you.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
As men, we often feel like we're stumbling our way through life, especially when it comes to our roles as fathers, leaders, and husbands. But God's original design for men is not about figuring it out on our own. In this episode, I share the importance of embracing God's plan for manhood — a blueprint for maturing, leading, and ultimately carrying His glory. From the formation process in Genesis to the call, testing, and commissioning that every man faces, this message is a call to rise up, embrace the journey, and walk in the fullness of your identity.
God's design isn't just for men to be strong on their own, but to be shaped, tested, and equipped by others. It’s a process — one that we can’t do alone. Through the Brave Co. Ride of Passage and through relationships with other men, we are empowered to walk out God's calling for our lives. It’s time to stop stumbling and start living out the destiny that God has for us. If you’ve ever felt unseen, or like you don’t have what it takes, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore how God's plan for men leads to freedom, strength, and divine purpose.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

So many young men stumble their way into manhood because nobody ever gave them a clear pathway. In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with my close friend Todd Pierce to talk about what fathers can give sons that culture never will: intentional initiation, identity, and a moment that marks the shift from boyhood to manhood.
Todd shares his story of learning fatherhood without a roadmap, how control can masquerade as leadership, and why becoming a man is synonymous with becoming like Christ. We get into the real work of fathering: earning influence, prioritizing connection over compliance, and having the humility to repair what you did not do well early on. If you have ever wondered, “Am I doing this right?” you are not alone.
We also unpack the living parable Todd is bringing to our Ride of Passage, breaking a wild horse in real time as a picture of self leadership, calm in chaos, and love that wins without manipulation. If you are a dad who wants to lead a healthier son, this conversation will light a fire and give you language for the journey.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode of the Brave Co. podcast, I dive deep into the concept that no young man should stumble into manhood. As fathers, the best gift we can give our sons is a clear pathway to adulthood. This journey doesn’t just happen—it's intentional. I discuss the significance of Brave Co.’s Rite of Passage, a 30-hour weekend designed to help fathers and sons encounter God together, push limits, and leave forever changed. This isn't a retreat or conference—it's a transformative experience.
Join me and NFL Champion Steve Weatherford as we share our insights on fatherhood, leadership, and the power of vulnerability in raising strong, capable men. We discuss how true masculinity is about strength tested, faith forged, and fathers leading their sons by example. Fathers, this episode is for you—if you're ready to give your son the best gift he could ever receive, this is your call to action.
We also explore the upcoming Brave Co. Ride of Passage, a weekend event in Jacksonville, Florida, where we’ll break a wild horse, run a Spartan Race, and set our sons on a path toward manhood. Fathers and mentors, you don’t want to miss out on this powerful, life-changing experience.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how to position myself to win—because most men don’t lose because they’re beaten… we lose because we quit. In this episode, I’m challenging you to stop living from comfort and start living from calling. Comfort is the silent killer of potential, and if you want a different life, you’re going to have to take risks, step out of the boat, and run in such a way as to get the prize.
I break down what separates the men who keep winning from the men who keep stalling: they solve the right problems. Not the easy problems. Not the “busy work” problems. The highest-impact problems. We talk about procrastination as emotional regulation, why you can be productive and still not go anywhere, and how vision increases your tolerance for discomfort—like Navy SEALs who endure hell week because they’re locked onto what’s on the other side.
Then I give you five non-negotiables to set yourself up to win: daily discipline, radical ownership, relentless growth, brotherhood, and a purpose bigger than comfort. If you want to look back at 2026 and say, “I crushed it,” get a notebook and take inventory: am I positioned to win—or am I running away? Also—if you want to take action with your son, check out the Brave Co Rite of Passage (Feb 28–Mar 1, 2026 | Jacksonville, FL) and learn more at BraveCo.

Every boy needs a moment where he’s called out of boyhood and into manhood—where his strength is tested, his faith is forged, and a father’s voice calls him forward. That’s why we built the BraveCo Ride of Passage: a 30-hour weekend where fathers and sons encounter God together, push limits, and come home changed. This isn’t a retreat or a conference—it’s a rite of passage. (Jacksonville, Florida • February 28–March 1, 2026)
In today’s live Q&A, I answer real questions men are facing right now: What do you do when your kids vent to you about their mom and they’re carrying pain? How do you validate your child without throwing your spouse under the bus—and how do you “bridge” the conversation on the back end to help the family communicate better? I also talk to the friend who’s watching a marriage hit a tipping point when one spouse wants help and the other refuses counseling—and why changing one person’s skills and boundaries can start shifting the whole ecosystem.
Then I share my personal experience with OCD and intrusive thought loops—what it felt like, what actually helped, and the simple framework that changed my life: recognize, relabel, refocus (and how thankfulness can become a powerful reset). We also hit temptation in marriage (curiosity about a past relationship) and what to do when separation is on the table—plus the most practical next step I’ve seen work when the stakes are high: get the right guide in your life.

In this week's episode I join my dad on Cultural Catalysts to discuss the growing crisis of fatherlessness and how to restore authentic manhood.
I share my powerful vision for helping boys become men through meaningful rites of passage. Together, we explore how our culture has substituted therapy and medication for true discipleship, leaving many young men without proper initiation into manhood.
I also go into inspiring stories of transformation from our BraveCo events, where hundreds of men gather to mentor and celebrate young men through challenging physical and spiritual journeys.
Join us as we reveal BraveCo’s exciting new partnership with Spartan Races for an upcoming father-son Rite of Passage event in Jacksonville, Florida – a powerful opportunity for fathers, mentors, and sons to experience life-changing connection and growth together. Discover how proper initiation into manhood can heal generations and transform communities!

As a pastor, counselor, and dad, I’m convinced of this: no young man should stumble his way into manhood. In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with my close friend Cole Zick to talk about what most families feel but don’t know how to fix, the lack of a clear, intentional pathway for boys to become grounded, capable men. We get practical about the pain points fathers feel, the pressure of raising teenage sons, and why “just go to church” isn’t enough to form men who can lead, serve, and endure.
We unpack why boys need testing and equipping, and how feedback builds capacity. We talk about the power of coaches, youth pastors, mentors, and a tribe of men, and why “heroes” matter if we want our sons to delay gratification and pursue what’s possible. We also hit real parenting language like trust, freedom, structure, boundaries, and why failure isn’t an indictment, it’s often the training ground when you actually have a plan.
If you’re a dad (or a single mom raising sons) and your boys are in that 10–18 window, I want you to hear this: it’s not too late, but it does require intentionality. If you want to take a real step, join us for the BraveCo Ride of Passage with our Spartan partnership: February 28–March 1, 2026 in Jacksonville, Florida (ages 12–19). Register at braveco.org. And if this episode helps you, subscribe, share it with a father who needs a pathway, and let’s rebuild manhood on purpose.

We just hit 200 episodes, and I wanted to do something different. Instead of one conversation, I’m counting down the 10 moments that have shaped the BraveCo community the most. These are the clips that hit men in the chest, brought real change into marriages, and reminded us what it means to live with a whole heart.
In this episode, you’ll hear why vulnerability isn’t weakness, and why hiding doesn’t make us strong. We talk about relationships and dating without all the pressure, what courage really is, and how the presence of God becomes an anchor when you’re wrecked on the inside. We also go straight at the stuff men don’t want to talk about: anxiety, the lies playing on repeat in your head, and how addiction is often a symptom of pain that never got a voice.

Rite of Passage: A Clear Path Into Manhood register now: https://www.braveco.org/riteofpassage
No young man should stumble his way into manhood. In this episode, I sit down with my dad for a conversation that hit me in the chest: the difference between living like a slave and living like a son. We open John 15 and talk about how obedience is real, but it’s not the finish line. God is inviting us into friendship, into revelation, into the kind of inner transformation where we don’t just “do what we’re told,” we become like Him.
Then we go somewhere most people never take the Joseph story. Joseph didn’t just interpret a dream and “save the day.” We unpack how withholding revelation can create slavery, how a short-term solution can build a long-term prison, and why your gifting without a legacy mindset can accidentally harm the very people you’re called to serve. If you’re a man building a business, a family, or a ministry, this will challenge the way you define wisdom and success.
We also get practical: pruning, discipline, sonship, and the process God uses to mature a man—called, tested, equipped, commissioned. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, fear mode, performance mode, or you’ve never known what it feels like to be a beloved son, this conversation will give you language and direction. At the end, I share a simple 5-minute daily exercise that can start rewiring your inner world: asking the Lord what He’s thinking about you.

In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with my friend Pedro Adao to talk honestly about what it actually takes to become a man. We unpack why every boy needs a defining moment, why every man must face death before rebirth, and why wisdom—not hustle or hype—is the foundation of a life that truly works.
Pedro shares his raw story of going from success to total collapse—losing his wealth, reputation, identity, and sense of worth. We talk about depression, shame, father wounds, bankruptcy, and what it feels like to believe you’re finished. But we also explore how God uses crushing seasons to strip away false identities and rebuild men from the inside out. This is not a motivational story. It’s a formation story.
We also dive deep into wisdom, kingdom entrepreneurship, and why wisdom is not information but power. Wisdom changes marriages, businesses, families, and futures. If you’re a man who wants to lead well, build legacy, and stop repeating the same cycles, this conversation is for you. And if you’re ready to pursue wisdom intentionally, Pedro shares how you can join the free 31 Day Wisdom Challenge and begin reigning in every area of life.

THE BRAVECO RITE OF PASSAGE: https://www.braveco.org/riteofpassage
In this powerful episode of the Brave Co podcast, I dive deep into the importance of fathers guiding their sons through the rite of passage into manhood. Our culture has lost the intentionality and significance of this vital moment in a young man’s life, and I’m here to challenge that. Every boy deserves a clear pathway, a moment where he is called out of boyhood and into the responsibilities of manhood. This isn't just about age—it's about identity, strength, and faith.
We'll explore the historical context of rites of passage across cultures—from the Native American vision quests to the bar mitzvah—and how these practices shaped strong men throughout history. I also share my personal experiences and what I’ve learned from my father. This episode is packed with practical insights for fathers who want to equip their sons with the virtues and values they need to step confidently into manhood. If you’ve been looking for a way to build a lasting legacy for your son, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
Stay tuned to hear about the upcoming Brave Co. Ride of Passage, an event that’s designed to break the mold of traditional conferences. This is a 30-hour immersive experience for fathers and sons that will challenge both physically and spiritually, leaving you forever changed. It’s time to stop letting culture dictate what it means to be a man—let’s take back the power of initiation.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I’m answering your real, raw questions about dating, marriage, trust, and fatherhood as a man of God. We start with how to actually meet women in person in a world that hides behind screens and dating apps. I share my own story of dating after divorce, how I met my wife Lauren, and why growing your in-person game is one of the most important skills you can build as a single man. If you’ve ever felt stuck, awkward, or intimidated around women, this conversation will give you practical tools to initiate low-pressure, honest, and confident conversations.
From there, we dive into one of the hardest topics I hear about as a pastor and counselor: emotional abuse in marriage. Is it ever a good enough reason to leave? What does it look like to set strong, healthy boundaries without instantly jumping to divorce? I’ll walk you through why emotional abuse is not “less serious” than physical abuse, why you need wise outside counsel, and how to discern what’s really happening in your relationship. We also talk about rebuilding trust after pornography or betrayal—why “I’ve changed” isn’t enough, how to validate your wife’s pain, and how trust is rebuilt not by perfection, but by how you clean up the mess you made.
Finally, we tackle the question so many men carry quietly: “How do I father my kids when my dad never fathered me?” I share stories from my own family, how my dad invited spiritual fathers into his life, and how you can pursue older men, mentors, and healthy community instead of waiting for someone to chase you down. We talk about joining men’s groups, serving leaders you respect, and becoming “good soil” that fathers want to invest in. If you’re hungry to grow as a man, husband, and father—and you’re willing to grind, show up, and do the work—this episode will give you a clear path forward.

THE BRAVECO RITE OF PASSAGE: https://www.braveco.org/riteofpassage
As a pastor, counselor, and dad, I have watched so many young men stumble their way into manhood without a clear pathway. In this episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I break down the stages our sons move through and what it looks like to call them out of boyhood and into manhood with intention. From the “cop” phase with little kids, to mentoring teens, to coaching young men who are 18, 19, and 20 and still living at home, I share real stories from my own life and conversations I have with fathers all the time.
I talk about how to shift from controlling your son’s every move to training him to make wise decisions, carry real responsibility, and discover his God-given purpose. You will hear how my dad prepared me for puberty, identity, and independence, why I had to start fighting my own battles, and how those milestones shaped me. Then I walk you through what to do when your son wants to stay at home as an adult, how to set clear expectations, and how to stop enabling him so he can grow into a man who produces more than he consumes.
If you are a dad of a teenage or young adult son, this conversation will give you language, courage, and a practical roadmap. I also share why we created the BraveCo Rite of Passage, a 30-hour weekend where fathers and sons encounter God together, push their limits, and mark the moment a boy is called into manhood. Join us February 28 – March 1, 2026 in Jacksonville, Florida.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
We live in a culture that shames masculinity and leaves men confused about who they are and what they’re called to. In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I share a message that’s been burning in my heart: the journey from the promise to the promised land—and why the middle ground is where God actually forms us into the men we’re meant to be. I talk about the “compass bearing” God gives us, the mountaintop goals we aim at, and the frustrating, winding road between where we are and where we know we’re called to go.
Using the stories of David, Joseph, Adam, and the Israelites, I unpack how God forms, fills, and finishes men in the middle. We look at caves, pits, deserts, and valleys—not as proof that God abandoned us, but as the forge where He shapes our character, teaches us to trust Him, and gets Egypt out of us. I share from my own journey of building BraveCo, walking through divorce, debt, fatherhood, and leadership, and how I’ve had to trade self-help-only solutions for real dependence on God, who promised to make my path straight.
If you feel stuck, in-between, or discouraged because your reality doesn’t yet match your promise, this episode is for you. My prayer is that you’ll learn how to lean not on your own understanding, how to choose faith over fear, and how to see your middle ground as holy ground where God is actively forming you into a king. If this speaks to you, make sure you subscribe, share it with another man who needs it, and drop a comment about where God is meeting you in the middle right now.

ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this BraveCo live Q&A, I sit down with a few brave men who are willing to ask the questions most guys keep to themselves. We talk honestly about what it looks like to stop abandoning yourself in marriage, how to confront fear without becoming controlling, and how to show up as a powerful man without losing connection at home.
I answer a vulnerable question from a married man who keeps falling back into “doormat” patterns and feels exhausted from replaying old relational trauma in a new relationship. We unpack the difference between serving from love vs. abandoning yourself from fear, what it means to be two powerful people in a marriage, and how to build real skills in conflict, boundaries, and communication. I also share why you cannot heal relational trauma outside of relationship and give practical language you can start using today.
Later in the episode, I address how I would counsel a woman in her 20s who struggles with pornography and why investing in expert help for addiction is one of the most important decisions you can make. We talk about porn as a fake solution to real pain, how to rewire your brain, and why good friends aren’t always good guides. We finish by talking with a close friend about time management, discipline, and how to control what you can control without becoming rigid and angry at the world. If you’re a man who wants to grow stronger in marriage, purity, and purpose, this episode is for you.

In this BraveCo live Q&A, I sit down with a few brave men who ask the questions most guys keep to themselves. We talk about what it really looks like to lead as a single dad, how to know if you are actually ready to date again after divorce, and how to invite someone into your family without sacrificing your kids in the process. I share my own story of betrayal, navigating divorce and eventually blending a family, and the difference between simply “moving on” and truly “moving forward.”
We also dive into one of the most vulnerable questions a husband can ask: “What do I do when I am not as attracted to my wife after kids?” Together we unpack how bodies change, how life stress and kids affect desire, and why emotional and spiritual connection are often the real drivers of attraction in a long term marriage. I give practical ways to pursue your wife’s heart again, rebuild connection, and invite her into a health journey without shaming her or shutting down.
Finally, we talk about unity in the Church and how to bring pastors and leaders together across denominations for prayer and real relationship. I share how I think about influence, trust and momentum, and give some simple steps to start gathering leaders in your city without it becoming weird, political or divisive. If you are a man who wants to lead your family well, love your wife deeply and stand for your city with other believers, this conversation will speak directly to you.

I sat down with my brother and longtime friend Cole Zick, we found ourselves wrestling with one question: What’s the role of a man in a world that seems to be falling apart? From mass shootings to moral confusion, we’re watching violence rise in ways that test our faith, courage, and leadership. This conversation isn’t about politics — it’s about calling men back to their God-given design to protect, heal, and lead with emotional and spiritual maturity.
In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into what real protection looks like — not just carrying a weapon, but cultivating the emotional composure to de-escalate conflict, protect your family, and lead your community with integrity. We talk about how unhealed pain fuels chaos, how churches can prepare wisely without fear, and why it’s time for men to master both strength and tenderness.
This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a wake-up call to become the kind of men the world actually needs right now — men who carry wisdom, humility, and power under control. Stick around to the end; I share a personal story that’ll make you laugh and think about what courage really looks like when your family’s on the line.

I sit down with my friend Stephen De Silva, creator of The Prosperous Soul and former CFO at Bethel Church. We talk about something most men never realize — that our financial struggles are rarely about money. They’re about what’s happening inside our hearts and minds. Stephen helps us unpack the connection between the soul and wealth, revealing how your mindset and theology can either limit or multiply what God wants to do in your finances.
I share a bit of my own story — moments when I thought “we just need more money,” but the truth was, I hadn’t planted any new seeds. There was no stewardship, no multiplication, just waiting for a miracle. Stephen challenges that mindset head-on, teaching how to align our internal world with the mind of Christ, and how to grow capacity through protection, provision, and identity. We talk practicals too: creating multiple streams of income, overcoming fear around money, and learning to be both shrewd as a serpent and innocent as a dove.
If you’ve ever felt stuck financially or wondered how to build true prosperity that lasts for generations, this conversation will light a fire in you. Whether you’re trying to climb out of debt, launch a new income stream, or teach your kids how to steward money God’s way, this is your roadmap to becoming a man who prospers from the inside out.

When I sat down with my friend @RyanPineda , I knew this episode was going to be packed with truth, but I didn’t expect the level of raw honesty and practical wisdom he brought. Ryan’s story starts where a lot of us have been—broke, uncertain, and wondering what God’s plan really looks like when the dream we’ve been chasing falls apart. From playing professional baseball to flipping couches just to survive, Ryan shows what it looks like when faith collides with grit.
Connect with Ryan: https://ryanpineda.com/
What I love about this conversation is how real Ryan is about risk, failure, and obedience. He talks about maxing out $50,000 in credit cards to flip his first house—trusting that if it didn’t work out, God would still provide. That decision became a turning point, birthing multiple businesses, social-media influence, and a mission to raise up Kingdom entrepreneurs through Tentmakers. His success didn’t come from playing it safe; it came from partnering with God and being willing to move even when it didn’t make sense.
If you’ve ever felt stuck—financially, spiritually, or emotionally—this episode will challenge you to take inventory of your skill set, your mindset, and your faith. We talk about how to identify the next skill that will multiply your income, how to break the fear of risk, and how obedience always leads to blessing. This one’s for every man who knows there’s more in him, but just needs the courage to take that next step.

Welcome back to the Brave Co Podcast, men. This week, we're diving into an essential topic that can transform your life: wealth and prosperity. For so many of us, the idea of wealth might have been twisted through negative experiences, bad teachings, or a lack of understanding. We’ve all heard that money is the root of evil, but what does the Bible really say about wealth? Is there a difference between greed and prosperity? In this episode, we’re not just talking about the financial side of prosperity, but also the deeper, spiritual aspects of wealth. Wealth, according to scripture, isn’t just money—it’s a mindset and a way of living that affects every part of who you are.
As I talk with my dad, Kris Vallotton, we break down the real meaning of wealth in God's eyes and how to shift your mindset. We also explore the importance of having a clear plan for your financial future, as well as a powerful perspective on stewardship and generosity. One of the key takeaways from today’s episode is the need to embrace prosperity in every area of life—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Prosperity isn’t just about accumulation; it’s about freedom, peace, and the ability to bless others. God wants to partner with you in building wealth, but first, you must learn to steward it well and let go of limiting beliefs that have held you back.
In this conversation, we tackle the practical side of prosperity. From giving generously to understanding how money works for you (and not the other way around), we lay out actionable steps to start building wealth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of scarcity, this episode is for you. We're going to help you break free from those limiting mindsets and start living in the abundance God has designed for you. Take the first step today toward transforming your mindset, finances, and life. Get ready to dive in!

In this episode of the BraveCo podcast, we kick off our wealth and prosperity series with Chad Frantzen, founder and CEO of WealthBuilders Investments and the host of the Kingdom Finance Show podcast, who shares his journey from trading time for money to mastering financial freedom. Together, we explore practical steps, biblical principles, and mindset shifts every man needs to build a legacy for his family and the kingdom.
Chad dives deep into the difference between exchanging time for money versus value for money, breaking poverty mindsets, and creating multiple streams of income. We discuss how to create simple, effective financial plans, the power of leveraging assets, and how small, consistent steps can lead to big results. I also share personal stories from my own journey, including how I faced financial reckoning, the importance of mentorship, and the practical strategies my wife and I used to scale our income and impact.
If you’re ready to stop running on autopilot and start stewarding what God has entrusted to you, this episode is for you. We talk about intellectual property, investing with kingdom values, cultivating humility, and teaching our children the principles of stewardship and delayed gratification. No matter where you are in your financial journey, there’s a next step you can take today to build tomorrow. Join us as we uncover the mindset, habits, and strategies that set wise men apart from the average guy.

In this powerful message from the Brave Co. Conference, I dive into the life of David, exploring the incredible journey from being an unseen shepherd to a king chosen by God. If you've ever felt overlooked or underappreciated, this message is for you. We’ll examine the life lessons David teaches us about faithfulness when no one is watching, trusting God’s perfect timing, and how God chooses the least likely to succeed.
I share a raw, personal reflection of my own high school days, feeling overlooked and not fitting into the mold of success others expected of me. Just like David, I didn’t look the part, but I’ve learned that it’s not about how we appear to others—it’s about being faithful in the moments that matter, even when no one is watching. God sees the heart, and that’s what He’s looking for in you.
As we journey through David’s life, we also confront the lessons of insecurity, fear, and pride. Saul’s story of anointing with the flask contrasts sharply with David’s anointing with the horn, symbolizing a process of perseverance and obedience. God isn’t after instant success or popularity; He’s after a heart that’s been tested, shaped, and ready to carry His anointing into the kingdom. This episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing, remain faithful through the seasons of life, and believe that God sees you, even when you feel unseen.

This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most important callings we have as men: becoming the anchor in the middle of life’s storms. A few years ago, my wife and I walked through the devastating loss of her mom, and in the middle of grief, chaos, and family challenges, I had to learn what it meant to show up differently. Not to fix everything, but to become the steady presence my family could rely on.
Being the anchor doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means learning to reprioritize, to shift from self-focus to family-focus, and to build emotional safety in your home. I share the hard lessons I learned in that season, the sacrifices I had to make, and the mindset shifts that helped me walk through it with strength and faith.
If you’re in the middle of financial struggles, relational challenges, or even spiritual battles, this message is for you. You don’t have to solve every problem overnight—but you can choose to be the steady force your family needs. In this episode, I’ll give you practical steps to reset your priorities, bring peace into your home, and step into the role God has called you to as a man.

In this powerful episode of the BraveCo Podcast, Jason dives deep into the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk and the impact it has on men and society today. As a man of faith and experience, Jason shares his raw emotions, reflecting on the loss of a fearless truth-teller who stood up for freedom and faith in the face of hate. This episode is not just about mourning the loss of Charlie Kirk, but about what it means for men to stand up in a time when masculinity is being shamed, truth is under attack, and the world feels more volatile than ever.
Jason challenges men to reflect on their own lives and the role they play in the battle for truth. He emphasizes that it’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines and to fully engage in the mission God has given each of us. Whether it’s through being a strong leader in your family, standing for what’s right in your community, or defending truth in the face of opposition, this podcast calls men to rise up and take action. It’s not about making noise online—it’s about living with integrity, purpose, and boldness in every area of life.
Finally, Jason highlights the importance of getting back to the basics—immersing ourselves in Scripture, taking on the armor of God, and preparing ourselves for the spiritual battles we face every day. Charlie Kirk’s life serves as a wake-up call, reminding us that we’re all in a fight for truth, faith, and morality. Now is the time for men to step up, and this episode serves as a clarion call for every man to take responsibility for his role in the kingdom of God.

Hey guys, welcome back to the Brave Co. podcast! This week, I’m excited to share with you an emotional and empowering conversation. We dove deep into some really vulnerable topics about overcoming fears of rejection and how to connect deeply with other men calling in LIVE in studio. Whether it’s facing the challenges of reaching out to new friends or navigating emotional pain from past experiences, this episode is a game-changer if you’ve been struggling with true connection in your life.
We also explored how to heal unresolved pain, especially from past mentors or leaders. I had a powerful conversation with a listener who shared how the loss of his mentor left a hole in his life that’s been tough to fill. Through the conversation, I broke down how to process this grief and pain and gave him practical tools to move forward. I really want to emphasize that healing isn’t linear, but there are steps you can take to rebuild your life and relationships with God’s help.
Lastly, we talked about the importance of finding purpose and connection even when things feel uncertain. I share how you can grow in your current role, learn through the struggles, and ultimately align your job and passions with your purpose in life. I hope this episode inspires you to take action—whether that’s reaching out to a guy you admire, confronting past pain, or just showing up for your family. Tune in and stay brave!

In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with two of my favorite people—my son Elijah and his wife Ally—to talk about what it really looks like to live with courage, faith, and purpose in the middle of chaos. From the frontlines of Ukraine to disaster zones in Brazil, Turkey, and Mexico, their stories reveal what happens when ordinary people step into extraordinary risk to bring help and hope.
As we unpack moments like evacuating families while bombs fell overhead, mucking mud out of flooded homes in Brazil, and providing safety for thousands of refugees in Mexico, one thing becomes clear: following God always requires action. It’s not about playing it safe; it’s about saying yes to the hard places where lives are hanging in the balance.
You’ll hear powerful testimonies of how the peace of God shows up in the scariest moments, how practical acts like providing meals can literally save lives, and why every single one of us has a role to play. Whether it’s adopting a refugee family for just $30 a month or simply being willing to step out of your comfort zone, this conversation will challenge you to live braver, love deeper, and stand strong in a world that desperately needs men to rise.

I’ll never forget the first time I heard Nate Larkin’s story. His honesty, his pain, and his redemption hit me in a way that few testimonies ever have. As men, so many of us live with secret battles—porn, addiction, shame—that we think we can fight alone. But Nate’s story proves that isolation only leads to destruction, while brotherhood and authenticity lead to freedom.
In this week’s BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with Nate Larkin, founder of the Samson Society and author of Samson and the Pirate Monks. Nate opens up about his hidden struggle with pornography and sex addiction, the devastating impact it had on his marriage, ministry, and faith, and the powerful way God restored his life. This isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience, raw and unfiltered.
If you’re a man wrestling with addiction, shame, or feeling like you can’t measure up, this episode is for you. Nate’s story will challenge you, encourage you, and show you that freedom is possible—but only when we stop hiding and start walking in brotherhood. Don’t miss this conversation.

When I hit 290 pounds and 33% body fat, I knew something had to change. I was stressed, overworked, and living in a constant state of anxiety. My health was failing, I’d just had my gallbladder removed, and the reality hit me — if I didn’t make a shift now, my future would be full of medication, surgeries, and limitations. But instead of diving into a brutal all-or-nothing plan that would burn me out, I decided to start small. Really small.
I committed to just one workout a week and tracking 2,500 calories a day, eating whatever I wanted as long as I stayed within that limit. Slowly, I built momentum. One day became two, then three. I stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on body fat percentage, strength, and how I felt. This wasn’t about punishing myself — it was about being kind to myself and building habits I could actually sustain.
Over the next year, I lost 65 pounds, cut my body fat in half, and gained more confidence and mental health than I’d ever had before. In this episode, we dive into the mindset shifts, the practical strategies, and the identity changes that made it possible. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting strong and burning out, this conversation is your roadmap to long-term change.

In this Episode Part 2 of our addiction series, Aaron Zint and I dive deep into the inner workings of addiction: not just the behavior, but the brain wiring behind it. Together we unpack dopamine, shame, neuroplasticity, and how porn becomes a super-normal stimulus that rewires a man’s reward system.
I speak from experience: I’ve walked this road. In sharing my own story of relapse and recovery, I walk you through the addictive cycle—from preoccupation and ritualization to despair and false resolution. You’ll gain tools on building self-awareness, identifying triggers, disrupting the ritual before it hits, and avoiding shame-driven shame spirals. I’ll show you how I used journaling, alarms, emotional vocabulary, and accountability with friends to break free.
Finally, I guide you into rebuilding a healthy ecosystem: daily rhythms, purposeful goals, deep connection, and sustainable fulfillment that doesn’t rely on fleeting highs. This episode isn’t about quick fixes or shame-heavy guilt-trips—it’s about understanding what’s going on inside your brain, owning your emotional world, restoring relationship, and crafting a life that doesn’t depend on addictive stimuli. Stay brave.

I’m Jason Vallotton, and in this second episode of our Brave Co addiction series, I dive deep with my friend Aaron Zint—one of the most resilient men I’ve ever known. We trace his journey from childhood sxual trauma and early exposure to prnography, all the way through marriage, relapse, and ultimately, healing. Together, we unpack how addictive patterns form not out of weakness or sin, but out of unresolved pain, disconnection, and a lack of agency.
Aaron shares how addiction became his “solution” when life’s weight exceeded his capacity to carry it. We talk vulnerability, passivity, and the hard work it takes to confront the pain beneath the behavior. You’ll hear how learning to take responsibility, to embrace uncomfortable conversations, and to connect deeply with a community transformed his life—and continues to guide hundreds of men through recovery.
This isn’t a quick‑fix approach. Instead, it’s about lasting transformation: addressing shame, building inner structure, and living within intentional, accountable relationships. Whether you’re dealing with p*rnography, alcohol, or another addiction, this episode gives clear tools to identify your real obstacles—and begin building capacity, connection, and courage.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
I’ve spent my life as a pastor and counselor, helping men find strength, clarity, and purpose. In this episode, I kick off a game-changing series focused on addiction—whether it’s alcohol, porn, overeating, or prescription meds. I get raw about my own 14-year struggle with masturbation, porn, and medications like clonazepam—and how I learned that real freedom isn’t about willpower, it’s about rewiring our lives around connection.
We dive into pivotal research, like the Rat Park experiment, which shows addiction thrives in isolation—not substance. When rats are connected and nurtured, addiction evaporates. That truth hits hard because most of us men were raised without proper emotional connection. We were wired for chaos, trauma, and triggers—so we medicate. But medication without connection falls short.
I unpack the 4 pillars of deep relationship—courage, authenticity, compassion, vulnerability—borrowing from Brené Brown and my own journey. These aren’t personality traits, they’re strategies. A life rebuilt on these principles isn’t just free from addiction—it’s alive, present, wired for purpose. Stick around—I’ll show how to reclaim your story, feel worthy of love, and build bonds that empower real healing.

This week on the BraveCo. Podcast, I'm diving deep into one of the most critical topics in marriage: becoming the anchor. As a pastor, counselor, and man who's walked through my own challenges, I’ve seen too many relationships fail simply because men have no idea what it means to lead emotionally. We aim for the wrong things—sex, status, success—and miss the real target: building a home where our wives and kids feel safe, seen, and known.
I get raw and real about the dangers of emotional unpredictability, the breakdown of leadership in the home, and what happens when men abandon their responsibility. I share personal stories, hard truths, and practical wisdom about how we bring peace to chaos—not by being perfect, but by being consistent, present, and emotionally grounded. Your role as a man isn’t to dominate—it’s to lead with courage, clarity, and compassion.
This episode is for every man who wants more from his marriage. If you’re tired of the disconnect, the arguments, or feeling like roommates instead of lovers, it’s time to shift your target. You are the anchor. And when you own that role, everything changes.

In this powerful episode of the BraveCo Podcast, Jason Vallotton sits down with his father, Kris Vallotton, to discuss what it really takes to prepare sons for marriage and build strong, lasting relationships. The conversation explores how most men enter marriage unprepared, largely because they were never taught key values like covenant, ownership, emotional responsibility, and flexibility.
Kris shares profound insights into the difference between cohabitation and covenant marriage, explaining how true commitment is rooted in sacrificial love and lifelong dedication. They emphasize the importance of teaching young men emotional regulation, spiritual leadership, and practical habits—long before they enter a romantic relationship.
The episode also dives into the role of a woman as a “catalyst” in a man’s life, and why many men will never fully step into their purpose without that relational sharpening. They unpack the danger of coddling kids, the necessity of emotional flexibility in marriage, and how confidence is built through consistent ownership and challenge—not comfort.
Jason and Kris weave together stories from their lives, including powerful examples of parenting, failure, resilience, and the redemptive grace of God. Whether you're a young man preparing for marriage, a father raising sons, or a man trying to rebuild after a breakdown, this episode offers deep wisdom, practical guidance, and raw encouragement to grow into the man God designed you to be.

This week on the Brave Co Podcast, I’m joined by one of my dearest friends, Ben Armstrong to dive deep into what it really means to own your mess. Ben was deep in full-time ministry when he disconnected from his wife, and in that void, made one of the gravest mistakes of his life. He walked away with an affair that could have destroyed everything—his marriage, his kids, his ministry, and his identity.
But in admitting the truth and choosing to live in the light, Ben began the toughest journey of his life. Together, they navigated confrontation, shame, weekly counseling, rebuilding trust with their kids, and transparency with their community. Ben’s radical ownership—not excuses—became the foundation for a transformed marriage, and a renewed sense of masculinity grounded in strength, accountability, and faith.
In this episode, we unpack how to own your mess, when to bring others into the healing process, how to navigate the shame cycle, and how real healing happens one consistent step at a time. Whether you’re looking for preventative tools or healing after a betrayal, this is your guide. Press play and lean in—it’s time to become the man your family deserves.

This week I sat down with one of my heroes and spiritual fathers, Danny Silk. If you’ve read The Way of the Dragon Slayer or attended one of our conferences, you know Danny carries deep wisdom in marriage, leadership, and communication. This episode is part of our Lead the Way series, where we’re equipping men to become the husbands their families need.
I shared a story about moose hunting in Alaska where, after shooting a bull moose at five yards with just a bow and no backup, I realized something wild: that moment was less terrifying than facing my wife’s emotions. Danny and I talked about how many of us men would rather face literal danger than emotional vulnerability with our wives. But if we want deep connection, we’ve got to face the internal battles—triggers, fear of rejection, and the desire to control.
Danny explained that one of the first steps to emotional leadership is abandoning the lie that we can control our wives. The real power lies in controlling ourselves. In hard conversations, the goal isn’t to fix or judge her—it’s to share about me. To say, “I felt [emotion] when [fact], and I need [emotionally honest need].” That level of vulnerability opens the door to connection. But if we come in swinging judgments, all we get back is defensiveness.
We talked about how staying emotionally present in conflict creates flexibility in a relationship. That’s the opposite of rigidity and fragility. The more tools and reps you have—soft start-ups, healthy boundaries, staying in the pocket—the more resilient your marriage becomes.
And if you want to win a fight, remember: if you “win” by controlling or punishing her, you’ve already lost. The real win is connection. The kind of connection where both people feel seen, heard, and safe. That’s our job as husbands—to open the door emotionally, spiritually, and physically. To bring peace into chaos. To make sure our wives never have to carry the masculine load alone.
Every man should learn this—because it's not your fault if you never saw it done right, but it is your responsibility now.
And that’s what this series is about: giving you the tools, reps, and mindset to sharpen your emotional leadership like a blade. Once you learn this skill, you’ll never forget it—and you’ll use it every single day.
Thanks again to Danny for pouring into us. If this episode helped you, send it to a friend. And remember—stay brave.

In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with my favorite guest — my wife, Lauren, to dive deep into emotional connection in marriage. We’ve spent years leading marriage intensives, learning through trial and error what it really means to build a relationship that lasts. This week’s conversation is all about the “emotional bank account” — what it is, how it works, and why it’s the foundation of a thriving marriage.
We talk about what it looks like to turn toward one another on a daily basis — not just when it’s convenient or easy, but especially when you don’t feel like it. From creating healthy routines to responding to emotional bids, we unpack practical strategies you can use right now to strengthen your relationship. Whether you're newly married or deep into the trenches of family life, this episode offers timeless tools for connection.
Our hope is that you don’t just survive your marriage—you thrive in it. It doesn’t take massive changes; it takes daily intention. So, whether you’re listening alone or with your spouse, we challenge you this week: Set an alarm, make that small deposit, and choose to turn toward each other. You’ll be surprised how quickly those little actions add up.

What does it really mean to lead in marriage as a man of God?
In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with the legendary @DrHenryCloud —renowned author of Boundaries—to dive deep into how men can lead with strength, emotional intelligence, and spiritual clarity. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, under-equipped, or unsure how to show up in your home, this conversation is for you. We talk about everything from fatherhood and marriage to emotional connection, leadership, and how to create psychological safety in your home.
Dr. Cloud lays out a clear framework for what it means to build a house—starting with connection, followed by boundaries, protection, and healthy communication. We also explore the reality that most men were never modeled connection or emotional leadership growing up. But that doesn’t disqualify you—it just means it’s time to build structure and train differently. Whether you're single, newly married, or decades into family life, this episode will equip you with practical tools to become a present, powerful, and emotionally safe man.

This episode hits deep. I sat down with one of my closest friends—Michael Koulianos—to unpack the kind of stuff most men never talk about. From the pain of being misunderstood by those you love, to losing the use of my arms for a year, we share the raw and unfiltered journey that forged us into the men we are today. If you’ve ever questioned your calling, struggled to lead your family, or felt like you were drowning in the pressure of life—you’re not alone. This conversation will ground you in truth, inspire your fight, and remind you that pain is often the birthplace of purpose.
We dive into how real strength comes from sacrifice—not platform. Michael opens up about pastoring, parenting, and the unglamorous cost of leading a movement. He’s not just preaching a message—he’s living it. We talk about fatherhood, marriage, manhood, and what it means to lay your life down like Jesus. If you're a man who's trying to lead your family with integrity, build something that lasts, or just stay standing through the storm—this one’s for you.
Also, don’t miss the end—we share what’s coming at this year’s BraveCo Men’s Conference. It’s more than an event—it’s a brotherhood. If you want to be sharpened, challenged, and sent back home on fire, make it a priority. We’ll be walking through the life of David, from his anointing to his legacy. Join us. Let’s build the kind of men this world desperately needs.

ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this week’s episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I share one of the most powerful and emotional topics we’ve ever covered: the transformation that happens when a boy becomes a man — not by age, but through intentional initiation and affirmation by other men. I talk about what happens when that moment is missing — and how we, as a community, can bring it back.
We explore what it means to heal the “father wound,” reclaim masculinity, and become the protector, provider, and leader that God designed every man to be. From the biblical example of David to modern-day rites of passage like our Tough Mudder course for young men, this episode dives deep into the importance of community, challenge, and identity.
Whether you're a father, mentor, or a man still figuring out who you are — this episode is for you. It’s a call to step into the front lines of manhood, to raise up the next generation, and to boldly claim the strength and purpose you were born with. Join us at Brave Co 2025 for a life-changing experience.

This is the most important message I’ve ever shared.

For generations, young men have grown up without a father, without initiation, and without the confidence they need to thrive. I’ve seen it firsthand—men who look like adults but feel like boys inside. This episode isn't just a podcast—it's a movement to bring back something society lost: the rite of passage into manhood.
At BraveCo, we believe it’s not too late. Last year, we introduced a 3.1-mile Tough Mudder Rite of Passage to our conference. What we thought would be just a powerful experience became the most transformational moment of the entire year—for sons and for fathers. I saw grown men cry. I saw boys stand tall for the first time. This year, we're believing for 300 young men to be changed forever. This is a calling, not just a challenge.
In this episode, I talk with Brian Tome—founder of Crossroads Church and author of The Five Marks of a Man. We dive deep into identity, calling, spiritual maturity, and why the American church is failing to reach men. We don’t hold back. We talk about church, culture, manhood, porn, shame, and what it means to lead a life of honor. If you’re tired of surface-level conversations and ready to go deep—this is your episode.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
The most transformational moment in a young man's life is when he is seen, accepted, and welcomed into manhood. As a father of three sons and a man who has walked through his own journey of becoming, I’ve seen how powerful it is to receive that blessing—from a father or a man you respect. Too many men are aging without ever feeling like they've become men. They carry a painful emptiness, unsure of their identity, still longing for validation.
That’s why we created the Rite of Passage at BraveCo. In 2024, we added a 3.1-mile Tough Mudder course to our annual BraveCo Conference. We thought it’d be a challenge—but it became the most powerful moment of the week. Watching grown men speak life into boys—boys who might not even have a father at home—was deeply moving. It wasn't just a physical test; it was a spiritual transition. And now, for BraveCo 2025, we’re going bigger: 300 young men, stepping into purpose, identity, and strength.
If you’ve ever longed to be that kind of man—or to raise one—I invite you to step up. Bring your son. Invite the boy who’s fatherless. Help us reverse the curse that has plagued this generation. Together, we can rebuild a culture where men are known, empowered, and free. You don’t want to miss this. BraveCo 2025 may be the turning point in your story, too.

As a counselor, pastor, and father, I’ve seen firsthand how many men carry invisible wounds into adulthood—wounds caused by the absence of true initiation into manhood. This episode dives deep into that missing moment that every man longs for: the point where he is looked in the eyes and told, “You’re capable. You belong.” Whether it's your father, a mentor, or a community of strong men, that rite of passage changes everything—and without it, we often grow old without ever really growing up.
In this BraveCo episode, I reflect on a pivotal moment from our men’s conference where we invited boys into manhood through a powerful and symbolic rite of passage. I also break down the emotional toll uninitiated men face in their marriages. Many husbands are trapped in cycles of shame, unable to “hit the mark” emotionally with their wives—not because they don’t care, but because they were never taught how. I explain the differences between sympathy, empathy, and true compassion—and how those three tools can transform your relationships.
This isn't just theory. These are real stories from the trenches of marriage, mentorship, and fatherhood. I offer practical tools and language you can use today to connect with your wife, lead your family, and stop the shame spiral that keeps you disconnected. If you’re tired of surviving manhood and ready to thrive in it, this one’s for you. Let’s get to work.

In this powerful conversation, I open up about one of the most defining journeys in my life—fatherhood. From walking through the painful season of divorce to learning how to become the man and leader God called me to be, this episode is a deep dive into healing, leadership, masculinity, and personal transformation. If you're navigating broken relationships, struggling to connect as a dad, or feeling stuck in your growth as a man, this video will speak directly to your heart.
Together with my great friend David Norona, we talk raw and real—about wounds from the past, the pressure to fix everything, and how the unprocessed pain we carry shapes our marriages, parenting, and self-worth. We explore what it truly means to lead like a king and love like a servant, all through the lens of faith and emotional resilience. It's more than conversation—it's a call to step up.
We also share practical tools for inner healing, emotional connection, and the kind of leadership your family and future need. Whether you're a dad, husband, or simply a man seeking more, this is your moment to rise. Don't settle. Don't retreat. The world needs strong men, and it starts with you.

In this episode of the BraveCo Podcast, I open up about one of the most critical foundations a man can build: conviction. In a world where compromise is celebrated and conviction is rare, I walk through my personal journey — the encounters, the battles, the wins, and the ongoing process of becoming a man who stands for something greater.
From wrestling with shame and addiction to encountering the tangible love of God, this conversation digs deep into why real transformation starts with real conviction. You'll hear powerful stories about battles with pornography, living in compromise, and the radical shift that happens when we encounter God's grace. It's not about religion — it's about relationship, about building your true north, and about becoming the man you were born to be.
This episode will inspire you to reflect on your ethos, set your mission, and live life with honor and clarity. Whether you're battling passivity, struggling with shame, or simply hungry to live a higher calling, this conversation gives you practical tools and hope to move forward. Together, let's learn how to build lasting conviction — and rise up in a world that desperately needs strong men.

In today’s episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Greg Hendricks to unpack a prophetic call for men: it’s time to stop reacting and start responding. Whether you're a father, mentor, or man looking to reclaim purpose, this conversation will shake you to your core.
We talk about creating ecosystems of health, building emotional resilience, showing up in family and faith, and what it means to be weaponized with wisdom. From real-life marriage challenges to the significance of rites of passage, this isn’t fluff—it’s a real, vulnerable call to reclaim manhood and occupy your space like a lion. You’ll also hear about our upcoming Brave Co Conference and why it may be the most transformative experience for both men and their sons.

Welcome back to the Brave Co Podcast 💪 — this week’s episode is a must-watch for men, fathers, pastors, and leaders who are serious about personal growth and legacy.
Jason Vallotton is joined by his father for an unfiltered, high-impact conversation on building capacity as a man — emotionally, spiritually, physically, and relationally. What stops men from thriving? Often, it's not sin... it's living under the lie of fragility. 💭
You’ll hear inspiring stories of brotherhood, including a rite of passage moment where a young man with cerebral palsy conquered a 3-mile obstacle course with the help of brave men by his side. 🏅 This moment changed everyone who saw it — and it’s a clear picture of what men were made for: adventure, challenge, and brotherhood.

In this episode we unpack the deep emotional, spiritual, and mental battles that pastors and male leaders face every day. From a life-altering dream that revealed a divine mandate to help leaders on the brink, to personal stories of pressure, burnout, and breakthrough — we’re calling men on the frontlines to strengthen before they collapse.
This isn’t about performance. It’s not about building bigger churches. It’s about building strong men—men who can lead well at church, at home, and in their own hearts. We’re launching a 4-week online training for pastors focused on emotional health, spiritual grounding, relational strength, and creating space for sustainable leadership. It’s the kind of support we wished we had early on—and now, we’re offering it to you.

In this week’s episode we dive headfirst into the real questions men are asking: What does it mean to be a man in today’s world? How do I lead my family, heal my wounds, and step into real purpose? I sit down with Cole Zick to answer the most asked questions from our listeners—everything from marriage and identity to mental health and masculinity.
We share raw stories about facing shame, struggling with emotional connection, and the painful process of growth. You'll hear how I overcame a five-year battle with anxiety and the lie that I was “fragile,” and what real accountability between men looks like when it’s both defensive and offensive. Whether you’re a husband, father, single man, or just searching for clarity—you’ll find tools here to help you become who you were made to be.
Masculinity isn’t toxic—it’s transformational when rooted in truth, presence, and purpose. If you’re ready to lead boldly, love deeply, and pursue greatness with courage and humility, you’re in the right place.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about a hidden struggle many men face but few talk about—passivity, shame, and the internal disconnect that comes from breaking your own promises.
Years ago, I hit a wall. I had gone through a nervous breakdown, lost the use of my arms, and spiraled into years of depression and disengagement. I wasn’t chasing anything meaningful, I wasn’t pushing myself, and most importantly—I wasn’t proud of the man I was becoming. Not because of some public failure, but because I kept letting myself down in small ways… every day.
This episode is not a motivational pep talk—it’s a raw blueprint for transformation. I share the exact moment I realized my lack of self-respect was tied to my passivity and how rebuilding my mindset, identity, and discipline—one tiny habit at a time—completely changed my life. If you’re feeling stuck, fragile, or just tired of not feeling like the man you know you were called to be, this conversation is for you.

The public school system is broken. Too many kids feel left behind, uninspired, and stuck in a one-size-fits-all education model that doesn’t prepare them for the real world. As a dad, educator, and leader, I believe we need a radical shift in how we teach the next generation. That’s why I sat down with Tyler, an education innovator, to explore a new model of learning—one that builds independence, critical thinking, and real-world skills.

Whether you’re a parent questioning your child’s education or someone looking for a better way, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.

For the past few years, parents across the country have been fighting an uphill battle—one they didn’t even realize they were in.

As a father, pastor, and advocate, I know firsthand how critical it is to be aware, informed, and ready to protect our children. The decisions we make now will shape the future of our families.

Have I created space for hope in my home? Is my home a place where my wife and kids can truly believe in a better future? That question hit me hard, and in this episode of the Brave Co Podcast, we dive into why hope, perseverance, and connection are the foundation of thriving marriages. We’ve seen more breakthrough in relationships this year than ever before, and today, we’re unpacking why—and how you can experience it too.
Lately, I’ve watched countless men step up—not just in words, but in real action. I’ve had guys come to me, fully owning where they’ve fallen short, saying, “I don’t want to be here anymore, and I’ll do whatever it takes to change.” And that’s the difference. So many couples are running on empty, trying to fix their problems with arguments and facts, instead of building their emotional bank account first. The truth is, love isn’t about keeping score—it’s about showing up, day in and day out, even when it’s hard.
We also get into politics, faith, and this new era we’re stepping into—where things are shifting in ways we never expected. Whether it’s in marriage, leadership, or culture, one thing is clear: this is a time for men to rise up, take ownership, and build something strong. If your marriage feels like it’s on the rocks, if you’re wondering how to move forward—this episode is for you.

Life is full of unexpected twists—some moments feel like blessings, while others seem like unbearable curses. But what if the biggest hardships in your life were actually preparing you for something greater?
In this solo episode of the Brave Co Podcast, I share my personal journey of turning pain into strength, overcoming trauma, and learning how to thrive despite life's hardest moments. From experiencing a nervous breakdown and divorce to facing seven years of infertility, I’ve learned one powerful truth: what seems like a curse today might be the greatest blessing of your life tomorrow.
You’ll also hear the story of Joseph from the Bible, who went from betrayal and imprisonment to becoming one of the most powerful men in Egypt. His journey is a reminder that our struggles are not the end—they are the preparation for something greater.

As a pastor and counselor, I’ve spent years equipping men to rise stronger, yet my own journey has been deeply tested.

This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I sit down with one of my closest friends and true legend, Todd Pierce. We dive deep into leadership, fatherhood, and the journey of discovering our identity as sons of God. Todd’s insights into what it means to lead from a place of authenticity and connection hit home as we talk about the challenges of raising kids, building relationships, and staying true to who we are amidst life's uncertainties.
One of the most powerful moments came when Todd shared about his work with wild horses.

Hey BraveCo men! This week, Jay dives deep into spiritual warfare with his dad, Kris Vallotton, revealing why understanding the spiritual battle we face is crucial. Together, they break down Spiritual Warfare 101: where it comes from, how to recognize it, and—most importantly—how to stand firm against the attacks of the enemy.
As Kris puts it, “This wasn’t a subject I chased after; it chased after me.” At 22, he experienced debilitating panic attacks and a breakdown that became a turning point. Now, Jay and Kris share insights into the spiritual layers behind these experiences, showing how facing our battles with faith can lead to freedom.
Here’s the truth: once we’re saved, Satan’s power over us is broken—except for what we give him through fear and belief in his lies. We need to authorize it for him to have any power! Fear opens the door to faith in the wrong kingdom; meditating on fear empowers the very things we’re called to resist.
In this episode, Kris explains how to keep your spiritual "ecosystem" healthy: change what you look for, and you’ll start to see through a new lens. He shares practical tools for discerning what’s from God and what isn’t, helping you spot deception before it takes root.
If you’re looking for a book to dig deeper into this topic with a biblical worldview, we recommend Kris’ book Spirit Wars. Learn how to find freedom, stay free, and step into the authority you’ve been given.

Hey BraveCo men! This week’s guest is one of my closest friends and hunting partners, Pat Donelson. Pat is an incredible man—generous, loving, and one of the manliest guys I know. We’ve been hunting together since 2007, and this episode is packed with stories, laughs, and powerful lessons from our adventures in the wild.
Join us as we dive into some unforgettable hunting and fishing moments, including our recent moose hunt in Alaska! Beyond the thrill of the outdoors, Pat shares a profound testimony from his visit to Bethel. During a SOZO session, he had a life-changing encounter with God’s voice that reshaped his life from that moment on.
This conversation is more than just hunting stories—it’s about friendship that challenges and sharpens each other. We reflect on how hunting strengthens our relationship and helps us become better, stronger men. For Pat, it’s about living younger; for me, it’s about growing wiser.
At BraveCo, we believe that building confidence as men means stepping out of our comfort zones and testing ourselves. This episode will inspire you to embrace challenges, pursue meaningful friendships, and grow into the man God designed you to be.

From near-death to top-tier training, Derek’s story is one of grit, growth, and grace. His mission? To help others tap into their strength—on and off the bike.
As a former pro downhill racer, Derek knows that muscle power isn’t just a competitive edge—it’s armor that keeps you fast and injury-free. Now, as the founder of Dialed Health, he’s coaching cyclists to build strength and mobility, making them faster and stronger on every ride.
Fitness has been in Derek’s DNA from the start. With a dad who led by example, always working out and inviting the kids to join, Derek grew up with a love for movement. But it wasn’t just the gym that captured his heart; action sports became his playground. Racing downhill was the dream... until the dream didn’t feel quite right anymore. Unsure about his future in the sport, he stepped into personal training full-time, but there was unfinished business on the trail.
Then, life threw him a curveball. Derek survived a brutal hit-and-run accident, suffering a shattered femur, fractured spine, broken ribs, a torn colon, and a collapsed lung. The road to recovery was grueling—but it shaped him. Through the kindness of people who knew what it was like to go through pain, Derek found a new perspective. As a coach, he now trains with heart, believing that real strength isn’t just about muscles—it’s about bouncing back.

In this lively and candid episode, Jason welcomes back his dear friend Cole Zick for their monthly conversation, and this time they dive into the intense topic of temptation and sex drive. It’s a friendly but heated back-and-forth debate as Jason and Cole take on one of the most prevalent challenges of today’s culture: managing our sex drives in a world that constantly bombards us with temptation.
Humanity has stumbled into a "sexual storm," but is it possible to condition our sex drive to honor our spouses alone? Cole argues that not only is it possible, but it's also practically doable, pointing to James 4:8 and the call to resist temptation. Our sex drive and the devil are not the same, and through practice, we can train our minds to the point where frequent temptations lose their power over us.
But Jason pushes back, exploring the difficulty of daily resistance, especially in a culture so saturated with sexual imagery and distraction. Together, they tackle the reality that lust is the willful participation in telling a story that isn’t ours—a dangerous narrative that pulls us away from our true purpose.
They remind listeners that even Jesus was tempted in every way, meaning He understands what we go through. His death wasn’t just for us, but as us, offering us the strength to make powerful choices in the face of temptation. In this life, we may not be able to eliminate temptation completely, but that’s where the nobility lies—in overcoming, in saying no, and in making decisions that lead us toward freedom.
If you’ve ever struggled with managing your sexual urges or wondered if it’s even possible to retrain your mind, this conversation is for you. Join Jason and Cole for a real, raw discussion that will challenge and encourage you to make powerful decisions in your daily battle.

John Clancy’s life once revolved around Wall Street wealth—luxury yachts, fast cars, and a Manhattan penthouse. But his world came crashing down when he was indicted on charges of grand larceny and fraud, accused of defrauding thousands of investors. Facing 13 felony counts and years in prison, John found himself at a crossroads.
A former stockbroker at the infamous Stratton Oakmont, featured in The Wolf of Wall Street, and co-founder of Planet Fitness, John experienced a dramatic transformation when he encountered the message of hope in the midst of his crisis. Ultimately, he was acquitted of all charges, but more significantly, John was set free through faith in Jesus Christ, finding forgiveness and new life.
Today, John lives out his faith with his family and is the principal owner of several Planet Fitness locations, including the top-performing location in Allentown West, PA. Through his journey, John continues to give generously and share his story of redemption and grace.

Hey BraveCo Men! Tune in as Jay sits down with Rick Chavez, a man whose life has been radically transformed by God’s grace. Rick's journey is one of intense conflict, growing up in a chaotic home filled with violence while experiencing glimpses of God that only added to his internal turmoil. Despite Rick’s conflicting choices, His belief in the Lord remained.
From a young age, Rick was caught in a whirlwind of drugs, gang life, and the weight of becoming a father at 15. Just days after his son was born, Rick faced a charge of attempted murder—a moment that pushed him further into a battle between addiction and his desire to be the father he never had.
Rick’s life took a sharp turn when a public defender gave him a choice: rehab or prison. What he didn’t expect was that the rehab would be a deep dive into prayer, fasting, and hours immersed in the Word. Through this, God began to work in Rick’s heart, showing him the power of surrender and transformation.
In this conversation, Jason and Rick discuss the struggles men face—feeling conflicted, inadequate, or uncertain about their roles in life. Rick's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far gone we may feel, God is willing to move mightily in our lives, especially in our marriages and families. The question remains: will you show up and trust Him?
Rick, now a leader in men’s core groups at Bethel, shares the lessons he’s learned through pain, redemption, and the power of showing up. Tune in to hear his story of how God can transform a yielded heart, no matter the past.

Hey BraveCo Men! Get ready for a powerful episode as Jason sits down with his dad, Kris Vallotton, to dive into the vital topic of spiritual intelligence. In today's world, this is our secret weapon as believers—it’s the distinct advantage that sets us apart and draws others in. Why? Because we can only access it through the Holy Spirit.
When we receive Jesus Christ, our human spirit connects with the Holy Spirit and comes alive, transforming us from the inside out. Before that, our spirit was incomplete, deformed even, but with His presence, we’re made whole.
Many people overlook the importance of spiritual intelligence, but it brings an irreplaceable dimension to our lives. The spiritual realm is very real, and it’s up to us to grow in our understanding of it. Unlike the world, we have the Holy Spirit living within us, empowering us to think beyond human capacity.
The Holy Spirit doesn’t just rest upon us—He lives inside of us, giving us access to what Kris calls the third dimension of thinking. We have IQ (intelligence), EQ (emotional intelligence), and now SQ—spiritual intelligence—the mind of Christ. It’s not just thinking like Jesus; it’s thinking His actual thoughts.
**This episode is for anyone hungry to experience more of God in their everyday life. Tune in and be inspired!

Hey BraveCo Men! Join us in today’s episode as Jay sits down with Cole Zick to dive into the profound insights Cole has gained while reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. They explore the importance of reclaiming your idle time—those precious moments that are often stolen by distractions we barely notice. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone feeling the strain of a hurried life, looking for ways to reclaim their time and mental energy!
Cole shares how, for many of us, these stolen moments are most often taken by our phones. He emphasizes that our best brain space is found in those idle times when we allow our minds to wander freely. It's in these moments that we solve problems, spark creativity, and generate fresh ideas. However, when we reach for our phones during those in-between moments, our brains operate at a lower level, robbing us of that valuable cognitive space.
They also discuss the misconception that constant activity equals productivity. Cole sheds light on the pressure many feel to always be doing something, yet he challenges this notion, suggesting that there is a more focused and intentional way to live. Just because we have access to more information and education than ever before doesn’t necessarily mean we are becoming more intelligent, healthy, or productive.
Tune in for practical advice on how to slow down, be more intentional with your time, and ultimately live a more focused and fulfilling life!

Hey BraveCo Men! Tune in as Jay is interviewed on Bethel Church's Transformation Center's podcast: It's Time for Breakthrough.
In this compelling episode, Jason Vallotton takes us on a journey through the often-avoided territory of pain and emotional processing. As men, we're frequently taught to run from pain, to downplay it, or to stuff it down, believing that life is about avoiding discomfort at all costs. But what if the key to true healing and growth lies in doing the exact opposite?
Jason challenges the cultural narrative around pain, explaining the importance of making room for our emotions—whether it’s anger, sadness, grief, guilt, or shame—and how embracing these emotions can lead to profound inner healing.
This episode will dive into the nuances of different types of pain and offer practical steps on how to unpack and process them effectively. True strength isn’t about avoiding pain but about facing it head-on, understanding it, and allowing it to shape us into better, more whole individuals.
Join us as we explore what it means to embrace the unseen parts of our emotional lives and discover the freedom that comes from processing pain with intention and grace. This is an essential conversation for anyone seeking deeper emotional and spiritual health.

Hey BraveCo men! In this episode, Jay interviews one of his closest friends, Jeff Sawyer, a devoted father of seven daughters, a loyal friend, and a relentless worker. Jeff’s journey is one of remarkable transformation, and we dive deep into his story, uncovering the raw and real experiences that shaped him.
From the chaos of gang fights to the challenges of unexpected pregnancies, Jeff's life has been a whirlwind. He was there in the early days of Bethel Church, witnessing the Holy Spirit move in radical ways. His story begins with a tumultuous childhood, growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness, and a troubled relationship with his mom and stepdad. This led him to the streets, where he quickly became involved in gang life, facing intense struggles and pain.
At sixteen, Jeff’s life took a sharp turn when his girlfriend (now wife), Sue, became pregnant. He threw himself into work to provide, but their move to Redding brought a whole new set of challenges. With confusion, fear, and a marriage on the brink of collapse, Jeff eventually fled to LA, adopting a very different lifestyle and even dating other women.
While Jeff was gone, Sue began attending Kris Vallotton’s home group, where she received a promise of redemption—that Jeff would return. Just as Jeff felt the pull from the Holy Spirit to go back home, he discovered his girlfriend in LA was also pregnant. Tune in to hear how Jeff’s story unfolds and the powerful ways God intervened in his life.

Hey BraveCo Men! Tune in as Jay interviews entrepreneur, Christian influencer, and mental health advocate, Mitchell Miles.
Mitchell grew up immersed in ministry in Tulsa, OK, where he witnessed countless miracles firsthand, including the remarkable healings of his own mother—first from cancer and later from a stroke. Despite facing significant challenges during his middle and high school years, Mitchell found his footing when he ventured into the online marketing space in 2018. By 2020, he had risen to the top 1% of sales reps in his industry. This success led to his recruitment by Closers.io, where he served as Chief Revenue Officer, helping scale sales from $1 million to $30 million in under three years.
Shortly after he was promoted to President, stepping down after one year to follow what God called him to do - sharing the message of Jesus and advocating for mental health.
Mitchell believes God wants to reach the millennial and Gen Z generations right now. We’re poised for a global awakening and one of the most prominent issues amongst this group is their mental and emotional health.

Hey BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jay and Cole recap the BraveCo Conference 2024.
Beware, you might feel a little fomo while listening to this episode!
We have all been in conferences where you are glued to your seats, just listening, and as men, it can be tough to participate in this style of learning, where the expectation of massive impact can leave you feeling a bit disappointed.
At BraveCo, the conference model of “come, sit, listen and sing” has been a model we’ve sought to break out of. We’ve been exploring new options for how to engage men in a life-giving way that reforms the standard experience, where men get to feel the strength that comes with being seen, being part of a tribe, and engaging in ministry that is not reserved for the special few, but where the whole team contributes in a significant way.

Hey BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jay is interviewed by Daniel Maddry, Co-Director Moral Revolution of as they cover the fascinating and incredibly relevant topic of relationship anxiety.
So many people experience loads of anxiety in a dating relationship because they didn’t grow up in a home where they felt like they could take risks and fail, or perhaps they never truly felt cared for. If this is your story, you may be drawn to the chaos a relationship may bring because it feels safe to you–let’s unravel these belief systems!
From God’s role in dating, what happens when we feel bored, to learning more about how true, healthy commitments are formed, this is an episode for anyone out there in the dating pool, and for those who want to gain insight to come alongside their friends, loved ones, and relatives who are!
Whether you call it dating, courting, getting to know someone, or pursuing a possible future - At Moral Revolution, they don’t think the process should be difficult. Moral Revolution’s goal is to help you walk through the stages of dating with honor, passion, and desire from the first date to the first kiss as husband and wife… and maybe a few rejections in between.

ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
In this episode, Aaron Zint, leader of The Whole Man Project, and author of Numb to Known, joins Jay to talk about PASSIVITY and how to overcome it. Small steps take you to where you want to go.
Anytime we dodge a challenge, ignore a problem, avoid weakness, or stay in our comfort zones, passivity wins. Passivity lies to us, saying that avoiding action is easier than facing regret. But, every moment of avoidance is a lost chance to grow.
From difficult conversations, physical transformation, to business undertakings, and more, they all begin with tiny steps. You can do hard things!

Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in for this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series, as Jason interviews pastor, father, and revivalist, Bill Johnson, in this convicting conversation on the core value of faith.
We begin this episode by sharing the inspirational story of the life of Nelson Mandela, whose victory was not just political but also a profound testament to the power of faith and resilience in overcoming oppression and injustice. Arrested for his activism, Mandela spent 27 years in prison, enduring harsh conditions and separation from his family. Mandela's unwavering belief in a better future fueled his resolve, even in the darkest moments. Upon his release, he led a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy, ultimately becoming South Africa's first black president.
For many of us men, we find ourselves grappling with two types of faith: faith in God, who we are serving, and faith in what we are doing. Having a conviction of what we have been assigned to can sometimes be much easier than living a life in purity of heart—but the ease doesn’t make it right.
There are a lot of men who have faith in the mission and assignment of their lives, but find themselves standing shakily in trusting the One who has led them to their mission or work. We can be committed to our jobs, our assignments, and roles, and not always have purity of heart. When we offer ourselves to the Lord for His glory, we maintain what is precious and invaluable: the constant awareness of God’s presence and Person.
We hope this episode encourages our men to grow in faith, purity of heart, and the celebration of what God is doing.
Bill Johnson is a fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the Holy Spirit. He has been pastor of Bethel Church since 1996 with a one-word mission statement: revival. Bill’s priority in life has been to learn how to host the Presence of God and minister to Him, and in fruit, he has remained passionate about seeing the Kingdom of Heaven invade Earth across all spheres of influence.

Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jason interviews Tracey Armstrong in this uplifting and empowering conversation on self-reliance in this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series.
In our introduction, we tell the story of self-reliance powerfully demonstrated by renown polar explorer, Ernest Shackleton and his Endurance crew of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. During the Endurance Expedition of 1914-1917, their ship became trapped in a pack of ice as they were crossing the Atlantic. Twenty-two members of the crew remained on Elephant Island as the men endured entrapment and frigid weather. Miraculously and courageously, Ernest was determined to not lose even one of his team members in the process.
After traveling from Elephant Island with two others, to South Georgia Island to organize a rescue mission, Shackleton returned to his crew after over a year stranded in the Antarctic, successfully rescuing all. His leadership ability to keep his crew focused in the midst of adversity has made the Endurance Mission a testament to the human spirit in the midst of adversity.
We all have a problem-solver inside us. The people who lead us are those who pushed past temporary deficiencies. Great leaders are self-reliant not because they want to be, but because they are in a position to do what no one else is willing to do.
This is the kind of self-reliance we need in this season and this generation.
Tracey is a social and economic entrepreneur and a success coach to achievers and wealth builders. Tracey believes God’s people must have spiritual, social and economic influence. He has a powerful voice in the men's movement, prophetic gifting, and in life.
Tracey and his wife, Nathalie, are on the front line of the new generation of “supernaturalists” being raised up in the world today, as pastors of Citadel Church, located in Seattle Washington. Together with their team, they are committed to reach this generation that is asleep spiritually and absent in most churches. Tracey and Nathalie are equipping the emerging generation for spiritual, social and economic influence.

**Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jason and Julian Adams engage in a fascinating conversation on nobility in this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series.
The outworking of nobility is made known in the furnace of pressure. What do we do in the moments when we choose to walk in integrity in the workplace, or in laying our lives down for our families? Or, when we choose to lean into a decision that will likely work against us, but conviction says to do it regardless? Nobility makes decisions that are consistent with the character of Jesus, and is formed when no one is looking.
Julian is a director of Frequentsee and leader of The Table Boston church-plant. He is an author, spiritual advisor, revelatory teacher and leadership consultant in political, business and creative spheres. An internationally recognised prophet, Julian has a proven track record in the fulfillment of words released over individuals, communities and nations. He is a director for NEWDAY United, a charity based in South Africa and England that serves the poor and vulnerable in Southern Africa.
In our introduction we tell the story of true nobility. Sir Nicholas Winton was known for organizing the rescue of 669 Czech children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia during the 9 months before war broke out in 1939. He died on 1st July 2015 aged 106.
His story is told in a new film, One Life, based on his biography of the same name, written by his daughter Barbara. One Life is released in UK cinemas on 1 January 2024, and worldwide in 2024.

What are you willing to fight for, and what are you willing to die for?
Leadership is one of the most important qualities as men. In this episode, Jay sits down with his dad, Kris Vallotton, as they cover significant qualities of leadership.
Trust, vision, courage, grit, having heroes, and taking the time to ask God questions, are powerful contributors to making a good leader. Kris offers a wealth of wisdom when it comes to leading men, as he currently serves as a prominent figure in the realm of leadership development, and brings a refreshing perspective on Kingdom leadership, emphasizing servant-heartedness, integrity, and empowerment.
As the Senior Associate Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California, and the co-founder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, Vallotton's teachings blend practical wisdom with spiritual insight, resonating with leaders across various sectors. This approach stands in stark contrast to traditional models of hierarchical leadership, instead promoting a culture of honor and humility.
Kris is an international speaker, culture leader, and spiritual father to a generation. He has a diverse background in business, counseling, pastoring and teaching that has prepared him with a powerful message that equips both the multitude and individual leaders to fulfill their divine purpose.

We’re in the middle of our “Makings of a Man” series, and in this episode, Jay sits down with a true treasure of a man who has demonstrated tremendous honor: NFL Superbowl Champion, Steve Weatherford.
Steven Thomas Weatherford is a former American football punter. He played college football at Illinois and was signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2006. Weatherford was also a member of the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, and New York Giants. Honor is one of Steve’s top core values, and one of the best at raising men, and raising champions.
Who are you choosing to serve with your time, talents, and treasures? For Steve, honor means to make life about God and other people. Steve shares how his identity was transformed by Christ, shifting towards a Kingdom mindset through core values of honor, integrity, and accountability. There is a difference between trying to get into heaven, and living accountable to what God has given us to steward well during our time on earth.
If you apply honor to anything, it’s going to work the way God designed it to work.

**Does conviction precede courage?
This week, Jay and Danny Silk go after the topic of courage, which is a trait all good character hinges upon. But, to truly develop courage, it takes practice.

As an author and speaker, Danny Silk offers life-changing books, conferences, and other resources drawn from decades of experience as a counselor, social worker, advocate, pastor, spouse, parent, grandparent, and leader.

If compassion hasn’t been modeled for us, what is our default?
As men, we often underestimate the power of compassion. In this provoking episode, Jay sits down with the incredible leader, father, and founding Pastor of Jesus Culture, Banning Liebscher. It is vital for us to connect, see, and act on behalf of those who are in need.
In 2014, Banning and his wife SeaJay, their family, and the Jesus Culture team planted Jesus Culture Sacramento, a church committed to seeing believers encounter God, be empowered as world changers, and engage their city as leaders. Banning is the author of four books, the latest one being, The Three-Mile Walk: The Courage You Need to Live the Life God Wants for You. Banning and his wife have three children.

Repentance makes you clean, but confession brings freedom.
In this episode, Jay sits down with Dave Harvey, where Dave shares the recent upgrades experienced through the gateway of honesty that comes with grief and pain, without blanketing over wounds and offense.
When we are honest with our wounds, and allow God to meet us in those areas, we can show up clean and strong as sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, and leaders. God desires for us to deal with our pain, and work through forgiveness–not in theory, but in true freedom.

We hope you enjoy this BSSM Online session with Jay, as he recently shared on all things addiction–uncovering where it stems for most individuals, the implications of the way that we are wired, and the practical needs that need to be met to overcome.
When you grow up in a home with strong bonds and attachment, your nervous system blossoms in a healthy way, with regulated emotions. When there are gaps in the concrete of our lives, those chasms, if not met in a healthy way, can quickly and chronically be filled with addiction. If you are someone you love, struggles with addiction, or brokenness, we pray this session blesses you and helps you move forward in healing and freedom.

Calling all those who are ready to have healthy boundaries and deep connections with those around them! This episode is a session led by Jason Vallotton at the Boundaries Lab at Bethel Church, Twin View Campus.
In this session, Jason gives a Biblical introduction through the foundation in Genesis as to how God showed great love to us by giving us the boundaries of earth, and all that He created as good, before He formed man.
Our inheritance, from the start, was beautiful.
God set a perfect stage, where all forms of life were instructed with order, in a place where we could succeed. We find in the story of Creation that He didn’t set us up to fail, but He created a place for us to thrive with order and instruction; not a task out of reach, or impossible for us.
We hope you enjoy this session where Jason covers the how-to’s, whys, and what it looks like to implement boundaries in love with practical examples, and Q&A.

The rare few who have spent a significant amount of time in the cockpit of an F-18 fighter jet know the value of strategy and the power of focus. In this episode, Jason sits down with Ed Rush, speaker, 5-time #1 best selling author, and a successful business consultant who has effectively taken the principles that he learned flying faster than the speed of sound, and translated them into good business.
Ed Rush is a fighter pilot and a card-carrying member of the Million Mistake Club. Despite failing kindergarten, Ed graduated from Top Gun. Despite typing like a chicken on amphetamines, Ed wrote several best-selling books. Ed’s hobbies include hiking, golf, fly fishing, and writing his own bio in the third person. He lives in San Diego with his wife, four offspring, and a bearded dragon named Smaug. Oh… and sometime in the future, there’s bound to be a puppy because — as everyone knows — every great story has a puppy.
Ed’s superpower is showing entrepreneurs how to use their messages to change the world by creating more income and impact. His mission is to connect you with God and let Him do the rest because, frankly, He’s got this.

In this episode, Jason interviews his dear friend Cole Zick. Cole and Jason dig deep into the power of practicals within marriage relationships, the man’s need for respect, intimacy, and support. Men, what does it look like to practically pursue your wives? Do you have the courage it takes to truly hear them, their emotions and their concerns? Does your wife feel safe, seen and heard? We hope this episode challenges you to take your connection with your spouse to the next level.

From the beginning, Bryan found himself in the deep waters of life: from gangs, drugs and dead-end jobs, all stemming from tragedy in his youth.
In this episode, Jason interviews former DUCK DYNASTY cast member Bryan Rucker, as he shares his journey from a drug runner and convicted murderer to a public speaker and follower of Jesus, where he now serves to see the lives of others transformed.
One of Rucker’s earliest, life-shaping events, what he referred to as “trauma points,” was witnessing a man get shot outside his apartment at nine years old. Bryan got caught up in that culture, began dealing drugs and got involved in gangs, leading to his arrest for armed robbery. After serving two-and-a-half years in juvenile detention, he sold drugs again, making $60,000 a month.
Rucker was eventually convicted of a gang-related shooting and faced a lifetime sentence for second-degree murder. “That was one of those moments in my life I didn’t realize was going to be a turning point.”
Once he had his son, Bryan was prompted to end his association with gangs and drug dealing, but it wasn’t until he moved to West Monroe, Louisiana, to take care of his grandmother that the former atheist started to see God move in his life, as God opened a door for a position at the Duck Commander warehouse, known for DUCK DYNASTY fame.

In this episode, Jason shares a powerful and moving interview with Gene McConnell. Gene dives deeply and vulnerably into the personal impacts of the progression of p****graphy addiction: from feeling out of control, to breaking covenant between God and his wife, a growing fear of intimacy, and the desensitization that led to a nearly catastrophic choice that could have altered the path of his life forever.
Gene McConnell is the Founder of Authentic Relationships International. As a former s*x-buyer, Gene is one of America’s foremost experts on shame and its impact on one’s personal perception that affects all other relationships.
His message helps identify and interpret adverse consequences of societal trends that are engulfing our contemporary culture. Gene educates individuals and organizations all over the world about the foundational elements of building and maintaining healthy relationships in marriage, the workplace, and the community.
Sadly, the Church is not immune to the devastating effects of p*graphy. But, The most vital role the Church can play is to provide recovery groups and mentoring programs where Christ’s love is demonstrated alongside competent addiction recovery principles. Ultimately this leads to deep and ongoing spiritual transformation, which is the real antidote to the insidious progression of p**graphy addiction.

Jason has an amazing conversation with his friend and fellow Bethel Staff member Dave Ward. Being a dad and leader of your home is an honor, BUT it can be full of pressure, fears, doubts, and leaving you in a place where you want to give up. Trust us, we’ve had our moments. Let’s go over some Dad Hacks that can help you live a purpose filled life, which will pour out unto your family.
If you don’t know Dave Ward…
Dave burns for revival, aches for more of Jesus, and wants his life to look like the Bible — miracles on the street, not just in church. Dave has been on staff at Bethel since 2013, serving in BSSM Second Year as both a Revival Group Pastor and Associate Overseer. In 2022, Dave stepped into leading and overseeing our Twin View Campus.
Born and raised in the UK and South Africa, Dave met his wife, Bea, at Bristol University while studying Theology. They have been married 13 years this October. Dave prefers beaches to mountains, baths to showers, and movies to TV shows. His favorite thing to do other than spending time on his own, is to hang out with his wife and their four rascals: John, Lucy, Lily and Olivia.

Jason interviews his friend @JacobCoyne . Jacob is a preacher, Christian content creator, and founder of “Stay Here,” a mental health organization that raises awareness through bold and encouraging messaging, training and equipping others to save lives from suicide, and heal the broken-hearted. Jacob, his wife, Mariah, and their four daughters live in East Tennessee.

Every forty seconds, someone takes his or her life. Anxiety, depression, and suicide are at all-time highs--and they're stealing our sons, daughters, friends, and spouses.
With tender passion and bold hope, Jacob Coyne, founder of Stay Here, infuses life into the dark corners of mental health. Giving hurting souls a reason to live, he shows not only how Jesus brings life to the full, but also how anyone--regardless of their past or pain--can find healing, including how to
· attack our anxiety and calm our storms;
· defeat depression and live with a sound mind;
· overcome intrusive suicidal thoughts and enjoy life; and
· transform pain, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and addictions into purpose.
It's okay to not be okay--but you don't have to stay that way. It's time to shine the hope of Christ into the darkness and witness His love transform broken souls into living, breathing signs to live.

“Anxiety is not a disease or a genetic disorder…I want people to begin to think, ‘what if my body is working almost exactly as it should be? What is it trying to tell me about the world I’ve created for it?” Mental health expert, Dr. John Delony, unpacks anxiety—where it comes from, how we’ve created a world that cultivates anxiety, and how to build a non-anxious life.

Who am I? Whose am I? Do I have what it takes? In this episode, Jay breaks down these questions and challenges us to ask God who He calls us. We hope you are encouraged by this message from our last 5-day challenge.
Episode Notes:
- Masculinity is not something that a man is born with, it is something that is poured into a man.
- When perseverance runs its course, you will lack nothing.
- In order to have perseverance, you need to have an identity.
- God’s design for you is that you would confidently bear His image.
- Every man alive will do crazy things until he answers the question inside of himself: “Do I have what it takes?”
- God is the only man that can restore what has been taken or lost.
- Responsibility gives men purpose. You probably feel purposeless if you were taught to shy away from responsibility.

- Boundaries are set so others know how to care for you.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
Aside from leading BraveCo, Jason is a counselor/pastor at a megachurch in northern California. He and his wife have been married for 10 years, and have 4 children with 1 on the way. He's also an avid hunter and fisherman, a novice-but-aspiring jiu-jitsu fighter, and an overall hobby enthusiast.
In this introduction to the BraveCo Podcast, Jason Vallotton shares his story and the heart and mission of BraveCo. We hope you are encouraged by not only what Jason survived but how he's helping others with what he walked through.
