Men Matter: Understanding Biblical Masculinity & the Significance of Having a Band of Brothers with President & Founder of Men’s Alliance, David Mills, Ep. 177 Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

There’s no question that there has been a real beat down on men in our culture and society today. There’s been a radical push to silence men as many have pushed this toxic masculinity narrative stating that men are just buffoons, horrible husbands, terrible fathers, porn addicts, abusers, and more. Now something we do agree with is that there is such a thing as toxic behavior, but my friends, there is nothing toxic about being a man. However, so many struggle in silence with their shame, addictions, mental health concerns and more as our culture and society has made us believe that brokenness is equivalent to embarrassment. Today though as we approach Father’s Day and are in the middle of the month of June which is recognized as Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we wanted to take some time to remind men and dads how much they matter and that they cannot heal in hiding! Joining us today for an impactful discussion is the President and Founder of an incredible men’s ministry called Men’s Alliance, David Mills. David spent the majority of his career in the Air Force flying squadrons which taught him how tribes are formed, how they operate, and how they save lives. He’s seen how isolated men are and how badly they need a tribe, so he decided to create Men’s Alliance to fix that problem and help men become the husbands, fathers, and leaders that God has designed us to be. Through weekly 30-minute rugged, outdoor workouts and a 30-minute real-world devotion around a fire, David and Men’s Alliance are committed to getting men to close their laptops, get outside, and push themselves physically and spiritually! Real men make a difference - within their homes, marriages, families, workplaces, communities, and more, and today, we pray that this conversation would help you make the decision to stop going at this life alone and to find and plug into your tribe from here on out!

Suffering in Silence: Understanding the Pressures & Stressors Fueling the Suicide Epidemic in our Country with Renowned Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Advocate & Speaker, Emma Benoit, Ep. 176 Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

There’s no question that suicide has become an epidemic in our country and world today. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people aged 15–24 in the U.S., and according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide with 9% having made an attempt to end their lives. Beyond that, there’s a significant concern for our girls and our daughters as the CDC recently reported that 57% of our girls reported signs of persistent sadness and depression, with 30% of our girls reporting seriously considering and contemplating suicide. This is alarming and is a fight that we must all stand up and fight against through creating environments of safety and vulnerability for people so they understand they do not have to suffer in silence. Thankfully today, we have a very special guest who has a personal testimony around the topic of suicide as she is a suicide attempt survivor and now renowned mental health and suicide prevention advocate, Emma Benoit. In this conversation Emma helps expose many of the pressures and stressors facing today’s generations, but she also provides us with hope, encouragement, and strategies that we can begin implementing within our homes, friendships, and workplaces to work against the suicide epidemic. One thing we know is that just because someone carries it well does not mean that it’s not heavy. Together, we can remind people that they were made for so much more!

Show notes

No one is a stranger to pain or adversity in this life. Challenges, hardships, and suffering are inevitable. Yet, the question remains, how we do navigate seasons of suffering and how do we cling to hope when life doesn’t make sense in the midst of our deepest and darkest valleys. Joining us today to help equip, encourage, and empower those of us in our valley seasons is a dear friend, Erin Kelly Bean. Although she has experienced countless mountain top moments such as the joy of marriage, being a part of an incredible God-centered family, as well as being the daughter of an NFL Hall of Fame Quarterback, Erin is no stranger to the valley as she has endured some difficult seasons throughout her life such as battling anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, the loss of her younger brother at a very young age, trauma, and so much more. In today’s episode Erin reminds us of David’s prayer in Psalm 23, “Ye, though I walk THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are WITH me.” Our prayer is that this conversation would remind you that healing is found in the valley and that in the pit you would realize that Jesus is the point!

When the pains and challenges of life come crashing in, it can be hard to truly trust God and cling to His promises in the midst of life’s processes.

So many of us get so caught trying to be “somebody” that we forget to what it means to be the man/woman called has called us to be.

Mindset Matters: Rewiring Your Relationship with Suffering with Founder and CEO of Ambition In Mind, Doug Elks, Ep. 169 Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody’s got a plan, until they get punched in the mouth.” Let’s be honest, oftentimes life can send some unexpected blows that closely resemble a knockout punch. Things such as the diagnosis of a debilitating disease or health challenge, a crumbling marriage, loss of a job, a prodigal son or daughter, death of a loved one, financial woes, a deferred dream, and so much more can be flat out painful. Things don’t always go our way or the way we wanted or expected them to. Sometimes hard times just keep stacking up on top of each other, and sometimes life just isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. However, I’m reminded of the words of James 1:2-4 which say, “Consider it PURE JOY, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish it’s work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Today, we’re going to be joined by a man who is no stranger to pain and adversity in this life, but a man who has made it his mission to help others rewire and restructure their perspective of and relationship with suffering. Joining us today is the Founder and CEO of Ambition in Mind, host of the AIM Podcast, ultrarunner, and Super-Athlete, Doug Elks. Today, Doug takes the time to share his unique mindset and perspective with you as to why he views suffering as a privilege and a unique opportunity to grow into the man or woman God has destined for you to become. Remember, no matter what you’re going through - don’t just choose to go through it. Choose to GROW through it!
