In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive into one of the most overlooked yet powerful disciplines of godly manhood: knowing when to speak — and when to stay silent.

From disciplining your kids to navigating marriage conflict, the words you choose (or don’t choose) shape your family, your leadership, and your spiritual legacy. The guys share real-life stories and biblical principles to help you grow in discernment, develop self-control, and walk in wisdom with your speech.

You’ll learn how silence can be a strength, how to speak truth without starting wars, and why surrendering your tongue to God is a mark of spiritual maturity. Whether you’re dealing with anger, miscommunication, or just trying to lead well — this episode will challenge and equip you to speak life or stay silent in the right moments.

🧠 Key Takeaways

✔️ Not every moment requires your opinion
✔️ Listening to understand > reacting to win
✔️ Silence can be an act of strength, not weakness
✔️ Discipline your tone before you discipline your kids
✔️ Trust God to handle what your words can't

📖 “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” — James 1:19

In this episode of Men After God,Kenny Sexton unpacks the dangerous allure of Folly as portrayed in Proverbs 9:13–18. While Wisdom calls with truth, Folly shouts with lies — offering shortcuts, pleasure, and freedom that ultimately lead to destruction.

This isn’t just about immorality — it’s about every false path that tempts men to step away from God's wisdom. Whether it’s lust, pride, laziness, or selfishness, Folly disguises herself well. But her house? It’s a grave.

This conversation challenges men to recognize deception, walk in discernment, and choose the discipline of wisdomover the ease of destruction.

🧠 Key Takeaways
✔️ Growth often begins with surrender
✔️ Some things must be torn down for God to rebuild
✔️ Trusting God's timing leads to deeper healing
✔️ Effectiveness > Efficiency in spiritual life
✔️ You’re not stuck—you’re being shaped

📖 “There is a time to break down, and a time to build up...” — Ecclesiastes 3:3

In this raw and reflective episode of Men After God, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into the reality that sometimes, God has to break us before He can rebuild us. Life comes in seasons — some marked by growth, others by pruning — but all are used by God to shape us into the men He’s called us to be.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3 and personal experience, Dustin and Luke explore what it means to walk through a season of tearing down. They discuss how to stay faithful during uncertainty, how to embrace spiritual reconstruction, and why effectiveness in your walk with God matters more than outward efficiency.

This episode is for every man who’s ever asked, “Why is this happening?” and who wants to trust God’s process even when it hurts.

✔️ Some things must be torn down for God to rebuild
✔️ Trusting God's timing leads to deeper healing
✔️ Effectiveness > Efficiency in spiritual life
✔️ You’re not stuck—you’re being shaped
