From The Archive: The Manly Spirit in You Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

“The tragedy of life is what dies inside of a man while he lives,” said Albert Schweitzer. There is a spirt in a man that’s meant to be strong and bold. It’s intended to guide, empower, and ennoble. How you live either strengthens or weakens the manly spirit within you. In this episode, Stephen challenges men with the question, “Are you dying? Or are you gaining strength?” Note: This episode originally aired on January 2, 2018.

Men and Tears Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

Perhaps you watched the events of President George H.W. Bush’s funeral. It was beautiful, inspiring, and patriotic. One of the most reported moments occurred when President George W. Bush became choked up while eulogizing his father. The clip was sometimes aired as an oddity. Why? Our culture treats a man’s tears as strange, unmanly. This attitude sends a certain message about manhood: that men shouldn’t show tenderness – and certainly not tears in public. Emotion is perceived as a sign of weakness or even mental imbalance. In this episode, Stephen urges a middle way. Your goal is not to be shut down emotionally, but to feel everything and temper your expression based on the context and moment.

Beyond Shame and Guilt Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

Imagine a football team whose coaching philosophy centered on one issue: “Don’t get penalties!” The players would be so focused on avoiding penalties that you’d end up with a team of hesitant guys worried they shouldn’t play too hard. The team would be terrible. Many pastors and leaders take a similar approach in speaking to men. They berate men for not being good husbands or fathers, for looking at porn, for over-eating, over-drinking… the list goes on. Yes, those are issues that need to be addressed, but this shame and guilt-based approach does nothing but produce shame-ridden men. In this episode, Stephen proposes a different way, one that offers a vision for noble manhood.

Manly Story Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

Story is a powerful vehicle. When we learn through a story our brains use less energy to absorb information. We are even more likely to recall that information when learned via story. Part of being a great man is being a great storyteller. This doesn’t have to be complicated. Story is simple. Something lights you up and moves you, then you share it with those around you. This holiday season, share noble stories with your friends and family. Your stories will have the power to change the culture around you, as well as the state of your own soul.
