Most men have not actually changed in years, even though they've been learning more. Steve and Kathy Altmeyer have seen these truths impact countless men and women who were willing to let the truths become part of their lives. We pray that, in your journey, the best is yet to come.

In this episode of Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast, Steve Altmeyer walks through 2 Peter 1 and asks men a question nobody asks out loud: are you actually growing, or have you just been standing still? Bold and real like most won't talk about.

In this episode:
- Why more Bible knowledge hasn't made you a different man
- The step almost every man skips, and why nothing works until he takes it
- Why you keep asking God for self-control you were already given
- What your wife's frustration might actually be telling you about God
- How to tell whether you've grown at all in the last five years
