Marriage, Submission & Faith - Episode 10

Vulnerability without alcohol?

Dan has an admission: for years on date nights, he'd knock back a whiskey or two before he could open up to his wife. Not because he had a drinking problem. Because he had a vulnerability problem. That one confession opens up everything in this episode. Jake, Dan, and returning guest Dan Connors work through 1 Peter 4 and land on a question every man eventually has to answer -- what sits on the throne of your heart? Because it's not always alcohol. Sometimes it's competition. Performance. Food. Work. Winning. Anything you reach for when you need to feel something, or stop feeling something. So ask yourself, what would it look like to stop numbing yourself and actually hear from God?

Becoming a Protector with Guest Mike McFadden - Episode 13

Mikes' story starts in a Texas church at age 7 -- walking a church aisle alone because his mom was wise enough to make him own his faith. It runs through a home with an alcoholic father, a teenager who eventually told his own dad this ends now, and a young man who joined the military not out of patriotism, but because his family needed him to. Hard things don't have to break you. Sometimes they build you into exactly who someone else needs.

The Most Mysterious Verse in the Bible? - Episode 12

Martin Luther called it the most obscure passage in the entire New Testament. He didn't know what it meant. Neither do we. And that might be exactly the point. In this episode, the guys wade into 1 Peter 3:18 -- 22. Spirits in prison. The days of Noah. The Nephilim. What happened between the cross and the resurrection that nobody talks about? But underneath all the mystery is something that hits a lot closer to home: the guy who thinks he's too far gone. Too much damage done. Too much to be forgiven. This episode is for him.

Responding to being Wronged - Episode 11

You poured into them. You gave them a shot. You paid their way. And they walked out the door -- sometimes with your money, sometimes to compete against you, sometimes without so much as a thank you. So what do you do with that? Jake and Dan have been there. And so has every man who's ever built something and handed the shovel to someone else. This week, they sit down with Pastor Todd to wrestle through one of the hardest passages in Scripture: 1 Peter 3, and ask the question most men are too proud to admit they're asking: When I've been wronged, when I'm jaded, when everything in me wants to even the score -- what's the right move?
