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

Description

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? Have you ever wondered why anger seems to show up so quickly in your marriage, even when you don't want it to? 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.

021 Why Good Kids Drift From Faith — And What Dads Can Do About It

Dads, * Have you ever wondered why some kids who grow up in Christian homes eventually walk away from their faith? * If someone watched your life for a week, would they see that following Jesus is your highest priority—or just something you do on Sundays? * Who is having the greatest influence on your children today—you, or someone else? In this episode, Glenn explains why a father's influence matters and how being intentionally present, rather than simply present, can shape a child's spiritual foundation. You'll discover practical, biblical ways to model faith, encourage your children, and lead your family by making Jesus part of everyday life—not just Sunday mornings. Learn how loving discipline, consistent teaching, and authentic faith can help your children develop a relationship with God that lasts.

020 Why Men Shut Down During Marriage Conflict — And How to Rebuild Connection

Husbands, * Has your wife ever said something during an argument that instantly made you shut down? * Do you find yourself replaying conflict in your head for days, thinking about what she said and how unfair it felt? * What if the reason you withdraw during conflict isn't because you're angry—but because you're offended? Many men shut down during conflict in their marriage, but the real issue often isn't anger—it's offense rooted in insecurity. In this episode, Glenn explains how feeling criticized, misunderstood, or inadequate can cause husbands to withdraw, creating greater distance instead of resolving the conflict. You'll discover how renewing your identity in Christ, staying engaged during difficult conversations, and choosing understanding over defensiveness can strengthen your marriage and your leadership. Through practical faith and biblical wisdom, you'll learn simple steps to overcome unhealthy communication patterns and rebuild connection with your wife. If you want to become a more confident husband who leads with humility, peace, and purpose, this episode will help you take the next step.  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.

In this episode, Glenn explores the pressure many men feel around finances, provision, and responsibility, sharing lessons learned while serving as a missionary and trusting God through seasons of financial uncertainty.

You'll discover how faith, stewardship, and trusting God as your ultimate provider can help you lead your marriage and family with greater peace and confidence. If financial pressure has been fueling insecurity, stress, or sleepless nights, this episode offers a biblical perspective on how to carry that burden well.  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.

018 Why Men Drift Spiritually — And Stop Leading Well

Hey Men, * Have you ever looked up and realized it's been days—or even weeks—since you've spent meaningful time with God? * Are you leading your family spiritually, or are you hoping someone else will do it? * Could the reason you feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected with family or life, be that you've slowly drifted away from God? In this episode, Glenn shares a personal story from his deployment to Bosnia and explains how both life's hardships and life's comforts can pull men away from a vibrant relationship with God. Using Jesus' Parable of the Sower & the Seed, he explores how the condition of our hearts determines whether God's truth takes root and produces lasting transformation. You'll learn why self-discipline, consistent faith, and intentionally prioritizing God are essential for leading your marriage, fatherhood, and everyday life well. If you've been feeling spiritually stuck, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from your purpose, this episode will help you identify the signs of spiritual drift and show you how to find your way back.   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.
