From The Archive: Manly Decision-Making Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Maybe you’ve seen another guy make a stupid decision? If so, the error may not have been in the actual decision so much as the process he took to get there. Fact is, a lot of men shrink from decision. They avoid the process. They shove it in a drawer, hoping someone else will show up and make it for them. Of course, this isn’t the way YOU want to live your life. In this episode: four steps to manly decision-making. This episode starts with an exercise that every man should complete and ends with a call for humility. This episode originally aired on September 4, 2018.

From The Archive: Fix Yourself First Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

A lot of guys are working hard to serve their wives, kids, jobs, causes, etc. But it’s been a long time since they’ve read a book, been in the wild, hung out with the guys, or explored an interest. They’re bored, uninspired, overweight, exhausted, and distracted. Men, you need to create some margin in your lives. It might mean getting up earlier or setting aside one evening a week. However you structure it, find time to work on yourself first so that you can serve others. This episode originally aired on August 14, 2018.

Big Calm Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Think of the supercharged world we live in: hyper, nervous, and loud. One of the great gifts a righteous man gives to his friends, family, and world is the power of Big Calm. A man has Big Calm when there is peace in his soul, even in the midst of crisis. He may not know exactly what to do. He may even know there’s a certain amount of danger. But he’s calm and settled. He ponders carefully and radiates his calm into the immediate situation around him. John Wooden had this characteristic. If you have Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men, you can read about it on pages 233-238.

Stupid About Alcohol Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Why, in today’s men’s movement, is the attitude around alcohol akin to passing a bottle back-and-forth behind the high school gym? Guys, what’s with the centrality of alcohol? The obsession? In this episode, Stephen talks about his own relationship with alcohol – no, he’s not a teetotaler – as well as what he has observed in his travels. Men, remember, whatever is of ultimate concern in your life becomes a religion to you.
