The Lion Within Us – Leadership for Christian Men

Christian men are in a battle for their lives. Satan will do everything possible to destroy them. The Lion Within Us is a community that provides encouragement to become the leaders God intends us to be. Our main focus lies within three categories: Health (Mental/Physical), Wealth (Careers/Finances) and Self (Husbands/Fathers/Brothers in Christ). By sharpening these areas of our lives, we can find the strength needed to stand firm in our faith and unleash the Lion Within.

What if the promise of Psalm 37:4 isn’t about getting what you want, but becoming the kind of man who wants what God gives? We walk through the heart-level shift that happens when you delight in the Lord and step into real discipleship, not just good vibes and busy calendars. Along the way, we draw a clean line between fellowship and discipleship, unpack why many church programs stall out, and share a simple, repeatable path that forms steady husbands, present fathers, and courageous leaders.

613. Joy That Doesn't Make Sense - Fun Friday Nov 28, 2025

Trials don’t wait for a convenient time. One week you’re serving thousands at a men’s conference with a full heart, and the next you’re in a hospital bed with a PICC line, two surgeries, and a choice to make: fear or faith. We walk through that sharp turn with James 1:2–3 as our compass, not as a slogan but as a lived reality. Consider it joy, not because pain is pleasant, but because endurance changes the man you become—at home, at work, and in the quiet moments your kids remember.

612. Thankful For This? Nov 26, 2025

A mountaintop weekend can change your language; a hospital bed can change your life. Right after an energizing men’s conference with voices like Joby Martin and John Tyson, I came home, peeled off a sock, and found a small, angry spot on my ankle scar. One Spirit-led decision—don’t eat or drink—opened a door for same-day surgery, cultures, and a new road I didn’t want: MRSA, a PICC line, and weeks of IV antibiotics. What felt like lost progress turned into a deeper lesson on endurance, gratitude, and the kind of brotherhood you can lean on when strength runs out.

611. James 1:2-3 - Spiritual Kick Off Nov 24, 2025

When gratitude feels thin and the table highlights what’s missing, where do you place your hope? We lean into James 1:2–3 and take an unvarnished look at trials, endurance, and the kind of joy that survives the valley. Chris shares the real stories behind the mic—divorce, the loss of a daughter, a recent injury—and how those moments exposed control, deepened reliance on Christ, and built a steady faith that doesn’t hinge on easy days.

A roar shakes the heart before it changes the world. Today we lean into that sound and explore how small, faithful steps shape stronger men, steadier homes, and clearer witness. We start with a jolt of Scripture from Amos 3:8, then move into three practical rhythms that you can put to work before the day ends: surrender a little control to become more present, live out generosity where it’s most visible, and speak life into your marriage with daily encouragement. leave a review, and tell us: what step of obedience are you taking this week?

A 3,000-man roar can shake you awake. We drove to Jacksonville for a men’s conference and came back with hearts on fire and a sharper vision for what real, biblical manhood looks like—prophet, priest, servant, king, provider, protector. Across sermons, panels, and late-night conversations, one theme kept pressing in: godly men don’t drift. They stand firm, confront sin before it grows teeth, and lead their homes with courage and tenderness.

608. Amos 3:8 - Spiritual Kick Off Nov 17, 2025

A single verse can reorder courage. Amos 3:8 pushes us to stop whispering truth while the world shouts its lies. We open up about a personal wake-up call to be a prophet in the biblical sense: not predicting the future, but telling the truth with clarity and love, grounded in Scripture. That identity is not exclusive; it’s available to every believer who surrenders to Jesus and accepts the cost of obedience.

What if the thing you brag about most is the very thing holding you back? We reflect on Jeremiah 9:23–24 and let it challenge our default settings—wisdom, strength, and wealth—so we can boast in what actually matters: knowing the Lord who delights in mercy, justice, and righteousness. From that anchor, we get practical about leading at home and at work with habits that build real momentum.
