Who Are You Talking To? Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Most men, if they’re talking at all, are talking to the wrong people. If the only people you are talking to are your rowdy friends or your wife or girlfriend, then you are not going to be healing, arising, and stirred to be a better man. Stephen shares a recent experience he had in a restaurant where he observed a young man talking his date’s ear off for an hour-and-a-half. She was doing everything she could to be pleasant, but you could tell this young man was exhausting her. Afterwards, Stephen approached the young man.

Getting Aligned With Father Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

One of the arts of great manhood is getting yourself straight about your father. For those of you who have wonderful relationships with your father, great. Dive deep. Drink it in. You won’t have him forever. For those of you who have mediocre relationships, dig in. Go further. You will be surprised at the riches to be found. If you had a horrible or absent father figure, Stephen challenges you to forgive the man that was supposed to be there, and then bring other father figures into your life.

Who Will Stand Vigil for You? Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

A part of the British monarch’s funeral rites involves friends, knights, aides, and family members stepping up to the corners and sides of the coffin to stand vigil. This tradition comes from an ancient practice of warriors honoring their deceased commanders or kings by surrounding them with protection. Ponder your life through this question: who will stand vigil for you? Are you living a life of honor? Are you connected to a band of brothers who would stand for you?

Manly Sacred Space Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Men need manly, sacred space: a space in the home or outside of it. As Stephen prepares for a move, he describes the manly sacred space he has enjoyed for the past 17 years in Nashville. Men from every station in life have walked in and exclaimed, “Man, I wish I had something like this!” It’s nothing fancy. Just some paint and furniture. But it provides a place apart. A quiet retreat. For some men, a sacred space is the roof of a building, a chapel on a university campus, or a platform built into a tree in the backyard. If you don’t have your own sacred space, Stephen encourages you to create or find one. Tune in to learn more.

The Power in Conquering Lying Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Lying is a cancer of the soul and a cancer on great manhood. According to a survey by the University of Notre Dame, the average American tells 11 lies per week. Nearly three out of four of those lies are told to friends and family members. If a man is secure in himself, he doesn’t need to lie to enhance himself. Get centered so you can live a life of integrity. Speak the truth as you know it. Be true, be authentic, be real, and you’re going to find new power in your life.

From The Archive: God and Manhood Aug 16, 2022

Show notes

Posit this with us: If there is a God and if He created you, then He created you as a man. Of course, we all sustain wounds and deformities that pierce the soul and heart, keeping us from becoming the men we are meant to be. But, again, if there is a God and if He made you, then He desires for you to fulfill your destiny of becoming a great man. In this episode, Stephen offers encouragement and truth: God can restore you to what you were made to be before the grief, wounds, and hurt. Ask Him to exercise that power in your life. Here’s how… This episode originally aired on July 2, 2019. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From The Archive: Men And Alcohol Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Men are about twice as likely to become alcohol-dependent as women. They’re twice as likely to binge drink and twice as likely to be drunk drivers. This is not a campaign against drinking. But it is a campaign for being thoughtful about your stance on alcohol and in control of your consumption. This is an essential episode for all men.

From The Archive: Get What You Need! Jul 26, 2022

One of the things that distinguishes a mature man from an immature boy is his ability to get what he needs. Men, you’ve probably heard Stephen say this before: you need a certain amount of rowdiness and adventure in your lives. A reasonable pursuit of these things will make you a better man – for yourself and for those you lead. So, take stock of what you need. Figure out how to get it. And go after it!

From The Archive: Men and Brain Science Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

We used to believe the brain was a closed system. Now we’re finding that the brain is very malleable. We are not dealt a single hand of cards at birth. In fact, the human brain is constantly changing and evolving. In this episode, Stephen discusses the number one way in which the brain is shaped and influenced. If you want to be a better man, it’s essential that you master the very specific area of life discussed in this episode. You can do it, you NEED to do it, and Stephen will show you how you can begin transforming the actual make up of your brain… effective immediately! This episode originally aired on October 8, 2019.
