Ep 21 - The Cost of Compromise

Ep 22 - Is My Work Meaningful To God?

Is my work meaningful to God? In this episode, Corey answers that question from Colossians 3:23–24 and shows how ordinary work can become worship when it is done for the Lord. Work is not just a paycheck or a title — it is a place where our faith is tested, our character is shaped, and Christ is honored. Men, Monday matters. The hidden things matter. Because it is the Lord Christ whom we serve. We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you.

Ep 21 - The Cost of Compromise

Compromise rarely looks dangerous at first, but small compromises can become strongholds that affect our hearts, homes, leadership, and walk with God. In this episode, we look at Joseph in Genesis 39 and his powerful question: “How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?” We’ll talk about what compromise really costs, how it grows in small steps, and how men can draw the line, fight temptation, and choose obedience by God’s grace. Be strong. Lead well. We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you. You can email us at equip2leadpodcast@gmail.com [equip2leadpodcast@gmail.com].

Ep 20 - Overcoming Anger With Grace

Anger can rise fast — in our homes, marriages, work, and everyday pressure. In this episode of the Equipped to Lead Podcast, we look at James 1:19–20 and talk about what it means to become men who are quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. This is not about being passive. It is about bringing our reactions, words, and leadership under the lordship of Christ. By God’s grace, we do not have to be ruled by anger. We can lead with strength, speak with grace, and reflect Christ under pressure.   Watch on  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@EquippedtoLeadPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@EquippedtoLeadPodcast] We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you.

Ep 19 - Winning the War for Purity

In this episode of the Equipped to Lead Podcast, we’re talking about a battle every man faces but not every man talks about — the battle for purity. From Job 31:1, we look at what it means to make a covenant with our eyes and fight for purity with conviction, courage, and the grace of God. Purity is not passive. It is not accidental. It is something we decide before temptation comes. In this episode, we talk about guarding our eyes, renewing our minds, setting real boundaries, bringing hidden struggles into the light, and becoming clean, faithful men before God. This is not a message of shame. It is a call to honesty, repentance, strength, and freedom in Christ. We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you.

EP 18 - The Battle for Your Mind

Most battles in my life do not start where people can see them. They start in my mind. In this episode, I look at 2 Corinthians 10:5 and what it means to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. I talk about how lies, temptation, fear, bitterness, anxiety, pride, and discouragement can take root in our thinking before they ever show up in our actions. This episode is a challenge for us as men to stop living mentally passive and start fighting for a clean, steady, Christ-ruled mind. Listen in and share this episode with another man who needs encouragement in the battle. We would love to hear from you on how this episode has helped or challenged you.
