Most men don’t fail because they have bad intentions. They fail because they trust their intentions more than their actions. In this episode, we expose the dark side of intention and how meaning well can still cause damage, how effort becomes self-deception, and why behavior and execution is the only thing that builds a man. Stop deceiving yourself and Close the gap.

QOTD: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

SOTD: Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”

WHAT IS IT? The self-deception of intention.
believing that a good heart, sincere effort, or emotional desire equals action. It doesn’t. The behavior builds a man.

TACTICAL APPLICATION STEPS

1. Expose It:
Name one area where you’ve hidden behind “I meant well.”

2. Align It:
Hold that intention against Scripture. If it doesn’t align, kill it.

3. Execute It:
Finish one thing this week you’ve been “meaning to do.”
Execution is the antidote to self-deception.

DANGEROUS FOCUS FOR THE WEEK

Stop trusting your intentions. Start proving your obedience.

In this episode of The Dangerous Man Podcast, We sit down with Ralph Brewer from HelpForMen.com to talk straight about divorce, betrayal, dead bedrooms, and what happens when a man’s whole world explodes. Ralph has lived it. Infidelity, divorce, single dad life, identity in pieces. He didn’t stay the victim. He rebuilt.

We unpack why so many guys stay stuck in bitterness and denial, what it looks like to take ruthless ownership, and how brotherhood changes everything when you’re trying to rebuild your life as a man. If you feel lost, rejected, or hollow in your own house, this episode is a call to stop bleeding out in silence and start rebuilding on purpose.

Most men think “keeping the peace” is a virtue. In reality, it is often just fear of losing comfort. In this Dangerous Discipline episode, Rory goes straight at the lie of peacekeeping and exposes how fake peace is quietly destroying marriages, training kids to be weak, and draining spiritual authority from a man’s life.

You will learn the difference between a peacekeeper who avoids conflict and a peacemaker who enters conflict with courage, truth, and conviction. We break down the habits of both, why God calls men to wage war for real peace, and how to start stepping into hard conversations instead of running from them.

If your default move is to stay quiet, smooth things over, and “not rock the boat,” this episode is your wake-up call.

3. QOTD – Quote of the Day

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

5. SOTD – Scripture of the Day (ESV)

Matthew 5:9 (ESV)
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

Habits of a Peacekeeper

• Avoids hard conversations until things blow up.
• Says “it’s fine” when it’s clearly not fine.
• Protects feelings at the expense of souls.
• Buries tension, then resents everyone in silence.

Habits of a Peacemaker

• Confronts issues directly and calmly.
• Tells the truth, even when it makes the room tense.
• Sets and enforces clear boundaries.
• Fights for restoration, not ego or “winning.”

3 steps on how to train as a Peacemaker:

1. Where is the fake peace in my life?
2. Face the fire!
3. Draw the line, And stand on it!

We have been quietly brainwashed from boyhood to sit down, be quiet, and wait for someone else's approval before we can move. This episode exposes systematic approval conditioning. The hidden training that neutered you before you could even become a man.

Rory digs into how parents, school, church, and the system programmed you to seek a green light of approval before you move. Then we show you how to break that leash with Scripture, conviction, and action. If you are tired of asking everyone if it is okay to obey God, this one is for you.

QOTD: “If you live for permission from people, you will die with potential still in you.” - TDMP

SOTD: Galatians 1:10 ESV
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God. Or am I trying to please man. If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

APPLICATION STEPS:

Step 1. Where Are You Waiting For Permission

• One area: leading at home, starting something, having a hard conversation. Starting that business, taking that next step…
• Fill in the blank: “I know I should do this. I am just waiting for ______ to be okay first.”

Step 2. Shift From Permission To Commission

• Ask yourself this: has God already spoken on this in Scripture.
• If yes, you already have a higher green light.
• Say this: “God’s commission is greater than human permission.”

Step 3. Take One Act Of Obedient Initiative This Week

• Not reckless just simple Obedience.

Dangerous Focus For The Week

• Pick one area where you have been waiting for APPROVAL to make your move... that you know you need to make, and just MAKE THE MOVE!

Freedom has a price. In this Veterans Day episode we HONOR those who served and translate battlefield virtues into everyday life. Duty becomes daily responsibility. Discipline becomes habit over hype. Honor shows up in the small things. Loyalty builds brotherhood. Courage runs toward the hard thing. You will get clear steps to honor a veteran this week and practical ways to carry weight where you live. Greater love is not a slogan. It is a standard.

QOTD: "Freedom was purchased by men and women who chose duty over comfort. If you enjoy the fruit, carry the weight."

6 lessons I have learned from veterans:

• DUTY TO THE DAILY. Make and keep simple visible commitments at home first.
• HABIT OVER HYPE. Train your body. Sharpen your mind. Discipline your spirit. No zero days.
• HONOR STARTS SMALL. Be on time. Keep your word. Speak truth clearly.
• LOYALTY TO BROTHERHOOD. Show up for your men before you are asked.
• COURAGE UNDER FIRE. Initiate the hard talk, the apology, the boundary, and be the protector.
• NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT. No matter what! You aint never gonna quit

SOTD:
John 15:13 ESV. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

Romans 13:7 ESV. “Pay to all what is owed to them. Respect to whom respect is owed. Honor to whom honor is owed.”

You got the win... Now make it a winning streak! In this Dangerous Discipline hit, we map the 24 hour moves that multiply your wins and build spiritual, mental, and physical momentum. Learn the simple loop to stack reps fast, kill momentum crushers, and ride the wave you are building.

You are already putting in the work, now lets maximize on it!

QOTD - “A good plan executed violently now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.” — Gen. George S. Patton

SOTD (ESV) - “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do. Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal.” — Philippians 3:13–14

BUILD MOMENTUM DAILY

• Same start time. Same first action.
• Tiny wins you can never miss.
• Some kind of Public scoreboard with a brother.
• Weekly reset and recommit every Sunday night.
• Celebrate progress with gratitude then immediately ask. What is the next rep.

MOMENTUM KILLERS

• Comfort: Coasting after a win kills hunger.
• Comparison: Looking sideways robs focus and gratitude.
• Isolation: No brothers, no accountability, no wave.
• Perfectionism: Waiting for perfect delays at the next rep.
• Overloading the plan: Too much, too fast, burns you out.
• Unconfessed sin: Guilt and hiding choke spiritual power.
• Sleep neglect: Poor sleep wrecks decision-making and drive.
• Digital drift: Aimless scrolling hijacks time and dopamine.
• Post-win pride: Celebration can turn into camping on old ground.
• Vagueness: No clear next action means no action.

TACTICAL APPLICATION: Momentum in 24 Hours

1. TRACK YOUR WINS - Write a three line debrief. What happened. Why it worked. What is the very next rep. Do it before bed.
2. KICK THE AFTERBURNERS - Schedule the next rep within twenty four hours. Calendar it. Alarm it. Tell a brother.
3. FEED THE WAVE - Pre-decide two guardrails. One distraction you will block. One appetite you will fast from for seven days.

There comes a point where no one can lift you but you. When the encouragement runs dry, the motivation fades, and the silence gets loud, that’s where dangerous men are made!

In this episode, Rory breaks down what it means to be self-charged. Not self-reliant, but God-dependent. You’ll learn how to strengthen yourself like David did when the world was falling apart — through prayer, movement, focus, and real spiritual grit.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about power under real authority. Stop waiting for permission and Plug into the Source.

QUICK PROMOS:

• “You’re tuned into The Dangerous Man Podcast — where weakness is hunted down and destroyed, and real men are forged. Let’s make it count today, men.”
• CONFINED SPACE COFFEE: Use promo code Dangerousbrew10 for 10% off your first order!

QOTD - “No one is coming. It’s up to you.” — Jocko Willink

SOTD — SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY - “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6 (ESV)

TACTICAL STEPS: HOW TO SELF-CHARGE

• Pray with power: Get alone with God until something in you shifts. Don’t stop at words — push until peace or fire hits.
• Move your body: When your soul feels heavy, move. Lift, run, or work — motion creates momentum.
• Lock your focus: Eliminate distractions. Read the Word. Fill your mind with truth, not noise.
• Refuel daily: Prayer, Scripture, movement — treat them like oxygen, not a weekend hobby.
• Stay connected. Surround yourself with men who sharpen you and push you back to the Source.

DANGEROUS FOCUS - This week, when you feel drained, stop reaching for comfort and reach for the Source. Become a man who can self-Charge

Men are folding under comfort, culture, and compromise. In this episode, Rory and Matt go to war on weakness, breaking down what it looks like, where it hides, and how to destroy it before it destroys you. This isn’t about ego or violence. It’s about becoming dangerous the right way, disciplined, grounded, and ready for the fight.

PROMO SPOT:

• Some of you are still starting your day with weak coffee and wondering why you feel like a zombie. Wake up! Confined Space Coffee isn’t built for comfort—it’s brewed for battle! Get your first order with 10% off using code DANGEROUSBREW10

WHAT IS A WEAK MAN?

• A man who refuses responsibility.
• A man led by his feelings, not his convictions.
• A man who hides behind comfort.
• A man who mistakes “nice” for “good.”

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Because weak men don’t just hurt themselves, they weaken everything around them. When men stop leading, evil starts filling the gaps. Weak men create the vacuum that strong men eventually have to die filling.

BECOME A DANGEROUS MAN

1. Discipline the Body - Train. Fast. Do hard things. Deny yourself daily. Comfort kills strength.

2. Sharpen the Mind - Read. Learn. Think for yourself. Don’t outsource your convictions to culture.

3. Fortify the Spirit - Pray. Lead. Submit to God. Spiritual strength is the foundation of every other kind.

4. Build Brotherhood - Isolation kills men silently. You need brothers who call you higher, not coddle your excuses.

MARCHING ORDERS:

• This week, stop apologizing for your strength. Start building it.
