We Become What We Behold Jan 23, 2018

Show notes

Men are rapidly shaped by the things they see. Stories of noble friendships, comrades in battles, great sacrifices, brilliant artists… watching and reading these stories inspire and ennoble us. At the same time, being glued to the news cycle or watching trash entertainment also affects us. In this episode, Stephen urges men to become intentional about what they put before their eyes. Pull back, and look at your own content diet. How does the output of your life correlate with the input? Remember, you become what you behold.

Denying Yourself Reveals Yourself Jan 16, 2018

Show notes

When we deny ourselves, it forces to the surface the things that are lurking in our souls. Fasting and self-denial shove to the forefront those things that produce defeat in our lives.

In this episode, Stephen suggests how fasting can be an effective way of confronting the demons of your soul.

Backlash Against the #MeToo Movement? Jan 09, 2018

Show notes

We live in the #MeToo era, an age that’s largely characterized by the sweeping uncovering of sexual abuse – far more cases than most men were aware of. In the midst of this cultural revolution, in which women are speaking out and harmful industries are getting cleaned up, some men are taking offense. Stephen’s noticed a backlash from some men who seem to react as if the #MeToo movement is an assault against them – despite the fact that they’ve never once perpetrated sexual abuse. In this episode, Stephen speaks to these (and all) men. Guys, here’s how we need to handle ourselves in the situation… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Manly Spirit in You Jan 02, 2018

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?” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Toxic Masculinity Dec 19, 2017

Show notes

Porn tells men that they’re desired by every woman (and that the women, themselves, often aren’t even aware of their own desires). Well, that’s a lie. Sadly, believing this lie has caused an incredible number of men to behave in completely lewd, disgraceful, and immoral ways, as the recent news cycle has brought to light. Men, let these accusations be a sobering reminder: what you pour into your mind and soul matters. The people you surround yourself with matter. The conversations you engage in matter. We become what we behold. Parents, this episode of the GreatMan Podcast may not be appropriate for children. Discretion advised.

Science shows us that new habits can be developed in as little as 21 days. In this episode, Stephen shares some strategies to help men overcome these hidden addictions.

The Manly Power of Words Nov 28, 2017

One of the greatest powers a man has is the power of his words, particularly when those words are backed by character and judgement.

Stephen shares advice on how to speak into the lives of those you love, as well as a story from his own life. Guys, there’s nothing grandiose or especially skilled about this practice.
