🌳Men Like Trees🌳

Wants to talk about why aging happens automatically but growing up does not.

In this episode of Men Like Trees, we begin a new series called "Grow Up," starting with a simple but convicting truth: age and maturity are not the same thing. Drawing from Psalm 1 and 1 Corinthians 13:11, this conversation digs into what it actually looks like for a man to mature, starting with the things nobody sees.

We'll talk about being selective about who influences you, developing an appetite for truth instead of just tolerating it, and what it means to be "planted" the way Psalm 1 describes, roots first, growth underground, long before anything is visible to anyone else.

This is Part 1 of a two-part message.

🌳Stay rooted. Stay grounded. Be fruitful. 🌳

🌳Men Like Trees🌳 delves into the topic....Courage Over Comfort🔥

In this 3rd and final episode in the series we ask....What happens when integrity becomes inconvenient?

In this episode of Men Like Trees, we confront the tension between comfort and conviction and what it means for Christian men to choose courage when doing the right thing comes with a cost.

🌳 Kingdom men are called to stand firm, walk in integrity, and remain faithful to Christ regardless of the pressure around them.

Stay rooted. Stay grounded. Be fruitful. 🌳

🌳Men Like Trees🌳 looks at Two men. Two failures. One temptation.

In Episode 2 of Men Like Trees, Kasan and co-host Yesares dig deeper into the cost of seeking approval, this time through the stories of Judas and Peter, two disciples who both caved to the pressure of the moment, in very different ways.

We'll unpack why approval doesn't discriminate. It tempts the disciple closest to Christ just as easily as the one furthest from Him. Then we bring it into modern terms with the story of John Proctor from The Crucible, a man who had to decide whether his name, and ultimately Christ's name, was worth more than his life.

This episode is about the decision every man eventually has to make: will you preserve the name of Christ, or trade it for the approval of the people around you?

🌳Men Like Trees🌳 asks...

Can you truly serve God while constantly seeking the approval of others?

Every man wants to be accepted. But when the need for approval starts costing you your conviction, your calling, and your courage — it is no longer harmless. It is a trap.

In this episode of Men Like Trees, we get honest about one of the quietest battles men face. We unpack why so many men trade their God-given identity for the validation of others, what Scripture says about living free from the fear of man, and how to become a man who answers to God first and everyone else second.

If you have ever stayed silent when you should have spoken, compromised when you should have stood firm, or shrunk back to keep the peace — this episode is for you.

🌳 MEN LIKE TREES 🌳

Thursday night, we close out our conversation with Pastor Ana E. Cruz, and we are saving the best for last.

What happens after the prison gates open? What happens when a man walks out with nothing but a record, a past, and a God who refuses to let him go? Pastor Ana has seen it firsthand. She has watched the Gospel do what no program, no policy, and no second chance initiative could ever do on its own. She has watched it resurrect people.

Through 180 Degrees to Redemption, Pastor Ana is not just offering former prisoners a resource. She is offering them a future. Housing. Employment. Family restoration. Community. And above all, the grace of Jesus Christ, which is the only thing powerful enough to make a man new from the inside out.

This is the conclusion.

And if you have ever doubted that God can reach anyone, anywhere, in any condition, Thursday night is going to settle that question for you. ✝️

The Good Shepherd left the ninety-nine. He found the one. And He is still finding them today.

Do not let this episode end without you in it.

🌳 MEN LIKE TREES 🌳

Tonight, we sit down with Pastor Ana E. Cruz for a conversation that will stay with you.

From personal testimony to transformational ministry, Pastor Ana shares how God is using her nonprofit to help former prisoners rebuild their lives through the Gospel, housing assistance, job placement, family restoration, and the unshakeable hope found in Christ.

This is more than a story of second chances. It is a story of redemption. ✝️

Pastor Ana's journey is a living picture of the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to pursue the one. That same grace is still on the move, and tonight you will hear what it looks like when it reaches all the way into a prison cell.

Do not miss this episode!!

🌳🌳Men Like Trees🌳🌳 wants to know....

When did a political opponent stop being a person made in the image of God❓

When did disagreement become hatred❓

When did Christians become more willing to divide over politics than unite around Christ❓🤔

If politics has caused you to see people as less worthy of love, less worthy of grace, or less worthy of respect...

then politics may be occupying a place that belongs to God alone.

Jesus didn't die for a party.
He died for people.

And that changes everything.

Join us for the powerful conclusion of our series:

🌳🌳Men Like Trees🌳🌳 wants to know....

What happens when the government says one thing…
but God’s Word says another❓🤔

At what point does a Christian say:

“We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

In a world filled with pressure, compromise, fear, and political confusion… believers must know where their true allegiance belongs.

A Kingdom Man honors authority…
but he does not bow to idols.

He respects government…
but Christ remains King.
