In this hard-hitting episode of The Lions for Christ Podcast, Pastor Noel takes on modern labels for men—himbo, sigma male, golden retriever boyfriend, black cat boyfriend, trad husband—and exposes how these viral archetypes quietly disciple Christian men away from true biblical manhood. Are you unknowingly living out a meme instead of your God-given identity in Christ?

We’ll unpack what these terms really mean, how they flatten and distort masculinity, and why so many men hide behind them to excuse sin, avoid growth, and protect pride. Then we go back to Scripture to rediscover who God actually calls a man to be: rooted, responsible, relational, and resilient—more than a persona, more than an aesthetic, more than an online label.

If you’re tired of being defined by trends, algorithms, and social media archetypes, this episode will challenge you to lay down the labels and pick up your true identity as a son, servant, soldier, and ambassador of Christ.

“Faith Without Works Is Dead: Saved by Grace, Made for Good Works.” In this arresting episode of The Lions for Christ, Pastor Noel cuts through easy-"believism" and cultural Christianity to show how biblical grace produces visible obedience. Drawing from Ephesians 2:8–10, James 2, John 14–15, Hebrews 10, and more, we lay a strong foundation: salvation is by grace through faith—not earned by works—yet the same grace creates a people zealous for good works.

You’ll hear a battle-ready rule of life for men who want their faith to take on flesh at home, at work, at church, and in public. We unpack what real Christian works look like: holiness when no one is watching; integrity in your job; mercy for the overlooked; forgiveness without fanfare; hospitality that costs; courageous witness with gentleness and respect. You’ll learn how to build sustainable rhythms—Scripture before screens, secret acts of faithfulness, Lord’s Day commitment, household prayer—and how to endure when you’re tired, tempted, or discouraged.

This is not moralism. This is Christ in you—the Spirit empowering ordinary men to do extraordinary good for the glory of God. If you’re ready to move from lip service to a life that shines (Matthew 5:16), from good intentions to good works, this episode will give you clarity, conviction, and concrete steps.

In this powerful episode of The Lions for Christ podcast, Pastor Noel exposes a side of Gen Z the headlines rarely cover: a rising hunger for Jesus on America’s college campuses. From Asbury and Auburn to massive campus worship nights, late-night baptisms, and the explosive growth of movements like Turning Point and other student-led Christian organizations, we look honestly at both sides of the story—students deconstructing their faith and students running hard after Christ.

Pastor Noel unpacks what’s really happening in chapels, arenas, dorm rooms, and prayer meetings, then challenges men of God—fathers, grandfathers, pastors, mentors—to stop complaining about “kids these days” and start praying by name, showing up for college students, supporting campus ministries, and living lives worth imitating. This episode is a call to engage, not spectate, in the spiritual battle for the next generation.
