When The Demons Come Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

Suicide rates among middle-aged and older men are skyrocketing. According to a recent report from Esquire on suicide in the U.K., “…if you are a man between 20 and 49, you're more likely to die from [suicide] than cancer, road accidents or heart disease.” Gentlemen, suicide is closer to us than it’s ever been. This is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Let’s get the help we need.

Modular Mentoring Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

Most guys have a hope that some man is going to come along and take them under his wing and teach them all the things they need to know about life. They’re waiting for superman. The reality is, the “super-mentor” or “super-dad” is not likely to show up. Good news: we can take a modular approach to mentoring. One of the arts of manhood is learning to pursue different mentors and father figures for different subjects. Men, you are not condemned to remain at whatever level you were left at when active fathering ended in your life. This episode will help you keep moving forward!

Get What You Need! May 29, 2018

Show notes

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!

The Disease of Self-Pity May 22, 2018

Show notes

We all sustain wounds in this life. But what are the messages we allow those wounds to inscribe upon our souls? Do you view an experience in your life as a profound injustice? Are you misinterpreting failures? Allowing harsh words or criticisms to define you? Where do your thoughts go when you’re alone and some memory of the past pops into your head? Men, the disease of self-pity is a cancer that can affect you on many levels. Stop. Turn. Face your past. Respond with intention.

Men And Alcohol May 15, 2018

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.

Honoring Your Father May 08, 2018

Show notes

This week, Stephen urges men to consider doing something for their fathers (or father figures) that he did for his own dad years ago. Note: this episode is intentionally being released several weeks before Father’s Day because it might take some extra thought and effort for many of you. So, listen now!

Men and Affairs May 01, 2018

Show notes

In 2015, Stephen recorded a podcast about why men engage in affairs. It was widely discussed and helped a great many men avoid the trap of an extramarital affair. Now, for the first time ever, we're airing that episode on The GreatMan Podcast. Guys, even if you can't imagine yourself ever becoming involved in this kind of behavior, you need to listen to this episode. Together, we'll examine the male psychology behind extramarital affairs. Whether inspired by boredom, infatuation or immaturity, an affair is always preventable. This episode originally appeared on The Stephen Mansfield Podcast on August 26, 2015.

A Shooting in My Town Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

Travis Reinking is morally responsible for killing four and wounding four others at a Waffle House in the early hours of Sunday morning. However, he was enabled – almost directly – by a father who gives every evidence of being ill-informed, unengaged, and… to some extent… uncaring. Men, we are suffering from an absence of fathering. It’s a lost art, and it requires your investment. But we can correct course.

Intentional Manhood Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

In order to be a great man – a righteous man – you have to be intentional. It will. Not. Happen. Naturally. Most men have been deposited into their adult years directly from whatever culture they were created in: sports, military, physical labor, etc. Many never move beyond these phases. They never gain a righteous vision of what it means to be a man. They don’t enlist the help of others to fulfill such a vision. In this episode, learn why being an intentional man is important, and how to get started.

Real Men Cry Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

We are teaching a false view of manhood if we tell our sons (and ourselves) that real men don’t cry. Real men do cry. They feel strong emotion and turn to their friends in times of need for both practical and emotional support. Stephen’s advice for every man: Feel your emotions, but don’t give vent without checking them. A mature man feels everything and checks his desires before acting on them.
