🔥 The Big 5 Mankillers: The Awakening

Episode 136

What if the thing holding you back isn’t your circumstances… but the lies you’ve believed about yourself?

In this powerful launch episode introducing The Big 5 Mankillers, Brent Henderson takes you deep into the mountains — and even deeper into the heart of a man searching for identity, purpose, and freedom.

From leading men’s retreats in the Idaho wilderness… to hitting rock bottom in his own life… to walking through a decade of intense discipleship that reshaped everything — Brent shares what sparked his personal awakening and why this new book matters so much.

You’ll hear:

• Why hiding your failures keeps you stuck
• How honesty breaks the enemy’s grip
• Why “changed men change men”
• The connection between pursuing your wife… and pursuing God
• How truth declaws the lies that have stalked you since childhood
• What it really means to make disciples (Matthew 28:19)

This isn’t behavior modification. It’s identity transformation.

The enemy prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour — but when you expose the lie, you declaw him.

If you’ve ever felt disqualified, stuck, ashamed, or unsure of who you really are — this episode is your wake-up call.

It’s time to break free. It’s time to get your life back. It’s time for The Awakening.

February can leave men stuck in neutral—cold weather, low motivation, and “nothing going on” can quietly turn into spiritual and emotional hibernation. In this episode of Unleashed, Brent Henderson shares a powerful conversation with world-champion whitetail hunter Kyle Burch, a brown bear story from Alaska’s Russian River, and a practical biblical challenge to prepare in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). You’ll learn how to use this “off-season” to build momentum, replace lies with truth, and get ready for what’s ahead—because you don’t rise to the moment; you fall back on what you prepared for. Includes a personal update from Brent’s cardiologist after his quadruple bypass and a clear action plan to help men break free from unhealthy thoughts and live Unleashed.

Following the Call

Unleashed Podcast – Episode 134

What makes you tick?

In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson shares how following God’s call becomes something you can’t not do. From a high school counselor who said he wasn’t college material, to working in a steel mill believing a lie about his worth, Brent unpacks how God used adversity, danger, and unexpected moments to awaken his true purpose.

Brent reflects on his early music career—including touring with Steven Curtis Chapman and his college roommate Eric Horner—and how all three men stayed true to their calling by serving Jesus through music with their lives. Their stories reveal a powerful truth: when a man aligns with how God uniquely created him, he comes fully alive.

This episode challenges men to confront the Big Lie—that performance and others’ opinions define their worth—and replace it with God’s truth. Brent explains how real whys give life meaning, while counterfeit whys like money, status, success, and approval only keep men busy and empty.

If you’re bored, beaten down, searching for more, or wondering why your life feels stalled, this episode will help you rediscover the call God placed on your life—and the courage to follow it.

Because when a man finds his why, he stops surviving and starts living.
