  • The Lie of the Lone Wolf Man
    Oct 16 2024

    The lone wolf man is a persona that isn’t real. When you look at most movies about lone wolf men, they have a pretty sad life. Sure, they could kill people and win the day, but at what cost? There is also the reality that none of them became great warriors alone. The movies will often show a backstory where they had a guide train them for their adventures.

    Too many men think they have to battle everything in their lives alone. They see it as a sign of weakness to ask for help. We want to show how this attitude hurts us and how we can overcome it and build strong resilient lives.

    Why the Lone Wolf Appeals to Men

    Pride

    We idolize heroes of the past

    The quest for glory and other people’s respect

    How the Lone Wolf Hurts Men

    We get weird by ourselves

    We try to do too much

    We get an attitude of everyone against me

    We don’t trust

    Our capacity won’t grow, by ourselves

    Others can call us higher and push us

    Overcoming the Lone Wolf Mentality

    Serve Others

    Avoid building a Loner Life

    Seek to have real relationships and not just virtual ones

    CHALLENGE:

    Quit buying the lie of doing it by yourself!

  • The Fatherless Man
    Oct 9 2024

    On today’s show, we are talking about the reality of fatherlessness. Many men grew up without a father in the home, in a stepdad situation, or in a bad example of a father to follow. The men who grew up like this often don’t realize what they are missing because it wasn’t there.

    We discuss the reality of fatherlessness and how it affects men, their families, and society. This discussion can help men discover what they can do to build up the barren areas of their lives that fatherlessness causes.

    The Reality

    Many men grew up without a dad

    This isn’t an excuse it’s a reality

    2 extremes have come out of these “distortions”

    The effemination of men

    The extreme Alpha male

    This reality has hurt families and society

    Recognize Your Need

    Recognition is the 1st step

    Too many men think it didn’t bother them but they have nothing to compare it to

    Pursue Timeless Wisdom

    Fight the common male appetites that drive so many men today

    Don’t follow fads

    Build your core values as a man

    Develop a strong positive worldview

    Connect with Brothers

    We all need to be a part of a team in our lives

    Look for men who have the same values as you and build friendships with them

  • Is Living on Defense Good or Bad?
    Oct 2 2024

    ”Defense wins championships,” is a saying we often hear in football, but what about life? Should we live on defense or should we have an effective defense?

    Today’s show discusses defense and how there is a good side and a bad side to defense. As men, we should have a good defense but not live on defense. Society encourages men to live on defense today and too many are doing it.

    Let’s dive into what it means by looking at an Active Defense vs a Passive Defense.

    Active Defense
    • Intentional
    • Guard your hearty
    • Healthy living and choices
    • Know your strengths and weaknesses
    • Protect Priorities and Values
    • Protect Relationships

    Passive Defense
    • Path of least resistance
    • Passenger seat of life
    • Escapism
    • Survivor Mode
    • Lack of Priorities

A must listen!

I enjoy listening to David, he is precise and to the point. He has a relaxing voice that draws you in, almost like a father or grandfather. He lays down wisdom in every episode. The men of this world need to listen to this podcast or someone similar. For me personally, the best part is that he brings in the gospel from time to time without shoving it in your face.
