016 What's Missing in Masculinity Today?

Men, * Have you ever looked at a problem in your marriage, your finances, or your family and secretly hoped someone else would fix it? * Have you ever found yourself blaming your wife, your boss, your parents, your circumstances, or even God for where you are in life? * What if the breakthrough you're looking for begins the moment you stop passing the buck and start taking responsibility? In this episode, Glenn talks about what is missing in masculinity today and why so many men feel confused about what it means to lead. Through examples from life and the Bible, he shows that strong men take responsibility instead of blaming others or passing the buck. This episode challenges husbands and fathers to lead with faith, own their actions, care for their marriage and family, and stop living from passivity or victimhood. Glenn reminds men that responsibility begins with themselves, including their relationship with God, their spiritual leadership at home, and the way they respond to everyday challenges. Men are encouraged to ask God for help, step into their role with strength and humility, and become leaders who take responsibility for what God has entrusted to them.

015 Why Insecurity Leads to Anger in Marriage — And How to Break the Cycle

Husbands, * Does anger frequently impact your marriage? * When you feel criticized or disrespected, do you respond with peace—or with frustration and anger? * If your job, title, accomplishments, or reputation disappeared tomorrow, would you still know who you are?

In this episode, Glenn explores the connection between insecurity and anger, showing how fear, frustration, and a shaky sense of identity can lead men to react, control, withdraw, or lash out. Using examples from life and culture, he explains why true security comes from knowing who God says you are rather than building your identity on changing circumstances or the opinions of others. You'll discover powerful biblical truths about your identity in Christ and learn practical ways to replace insecurity with confidence rooted in God's truth. If you want to strengthen your marriage, grow as a leader, and break the cycle of insecurity-driven anger, this episode provides a biblical starting point. * Next Steps: - Step 1: Join a supportive community of like-minded men at my Facebook group Becoming Men Who Lead Well [https://www.facebook.com/groups/778657491344554]. - Step 2: Become an Insider.
