Master the Art of Saying No to Protect Your Spiritual and Emotional Health - Jim Newheiser Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

To live a healthy and fruitful life, we need to be able to set wise and healthy boundaries that protect ourselves not only from harm or exhaustion, but also our ability to serve the Lord fully. Jim Newheiser is the director of Christian Counseling at Reformed Theological Seminary, and he is the author of Do I Need Boundaries? Seeking to Please God By Learning to Say No. How do you deal with tricky situations in life that may push you into environments that are unsafe, unwise, or simply spiritually inappropriate? How can you navigate your loyalty to Christ without being offensive to others and still show Christian hospitality? Base your life decisions on the teachings of Jesus Christ and use His wisdom as a grid for making choices.

TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes, making decisions to say yes or no involves personal sacrifice

When faced with a difficult situation, ask yourself first if participating will endanger your relationship with the Lord

Jesus warned us that there would be divisions in families over loyalty to Him (Luke 12:49-26)

The mission field of the home is just as important as the mission field of the church

Teaching Boys Essential Life Skills Through Mentorship and Rites of Passage - Alan Hahn Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

“Four essential elements of Biblical manhood are joy, community, accountability, and identity,” says Alan Hahn, the founder and CEO of Iron Academy, a private, all-male Christian school for boys ages 6-12. Alan’s school focuses on forging these boys into the men God created them to be by teaching them essential life skills, such as leadership, and by providing rites of passage that strengthen their sense of healthy masculinity. He discusses the use of thriving spiritual formation, helpful correction, and joyful discipleship in a loving and trusted environment - elements that cultivate a young man’s identity and challenge him to work harder and achieve more. In a society that is starving for the truth, Christian men can be a countercultural light in the darkness by becoming all that God created them to be.

TAKEAWAYS

Men and fathers of all ages can learn from Alan’s book, The Iron Academy: Forging Young Men Who Fight For The King

Spiritual formation does not happen without healthy shame or positive correction

A rite of passage requires separation from ‘normal’ life and the administration of some kind of test

Leadership training is a key element of forging young boys into men

Restoring God’s Design for Manhood in a Generation That Has Lost Its Way - Alan Hahn Nov 12, 2025

Show notes

Our society has neglected to raise boys to be great men. Modern culture has abandoned traditional rites of passage that demand a departure from boyhood and a transition into manhood. This stark reality is a problem that Alan Hahn not only observed but is addressing right now with a special ministry aimed at forging purpose and a brotherhood for boys. Boys, who are eagerly learning to become men of God. Alan is the CEO and founder of Iron Academy, a school that provides curriculum, community, and training for young men who seek courage, conviction, and honor rooted in the Word of God. Iron Academy is a Bible-based pathway for cultivating healthy, nurturing, and powerful manhood the way that God designed it.

TAKEAWAYS

Cultural decline can be linked to the broad decline of strength in modern men

Modern culture has ‘dumbed down’ what it means to be a man

The erosion of Biblical manhood ultimately hurts women and children in a variety of ways

One step men can take every day to become men of God: read the Bible and teach it to your children

Cultivating Calm and Reversing the Dangerous Drift Toward Depletion - Cary Schmidt Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

TAKEAWAYS

Your internal world is the internal conversation you’re always having with yourself

Take a day to reconnect with Jesus and get back on track with Him - what good is living water if we’re not drinking it

We tend to be reactionary to our internal state rather than being cultivators of it

Your mind, will, and emotions work together to form your inner state, which is often in a state of chaos

Show notes

TAKEAWAYS

Greg says some pastors are cowards for not addressing the topic of demonic attacks

Sin is usually the starting point of demonic influence, so people just need to deal with sin in their lives, and deliverance isn’t necessary

A key component of addressing spiritual oppression: read the Bible and get serious about prayer

Surround yourself with strong Christians who will pray over you and with you
