In Episode 10 we bring back TJ (Drew’s brother-in-law) to talk fitness and training. We break down how we train and what training truly looks like for men in today’s world. We are firm believers that our training is not for vanity, but serves an essential purpose in every man’s life. As men, we are called to be protectors and leaders in our families and communities. That calling carries a responsibility not only to honor the body the Lord has given us, but to build it in a way that serves the people we are tasked with caring for.

Bible Verse:

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

– Romans 12:1-2

In This Episode:

• Why Christian men should pursue physical strength
• The connection between fitness and protecting your family
• How weakness affects your ability to serve others
• Training as stewardship: honoring the body God gave you
• Why law enforcement, blue-collar work & fatherhood require strength
• Balancing discipline, health, and family life
• How to build consistency when life is busy
• Why “no time” is often just misplaced priorities
• The dangers of relying on gear (taser/gun) instead of capability

In this episode we dive deep on how we should be addressing conflicts in our lives, relationships or even within ourselves. As men we are called to not run from conflict but embrace it with courage, handling it in a way that glorifies God. We explore the fine line between humidity and firmness, the reality of violence in some scenarios and how to confront issues with clarity, discipline all the while acting out of love.

We are joined by TJ who currently works in Law Enforcement to get a fresh perspective on things he has experiences and had to deal with first hand while working the street.

Bible Verse:

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, - Matthew 5:43-44

Topics We Cover:

• The tension between humility and strength in conflict
• When physical force becomes an act of love
