593: Matt Chandler | Awake & Alive Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

On today’s PoM podcast I sat down and spoke with Matt Chandler, the senior pastor of Village Church, based in Flower Mound, Texas, the executive director of the board of the Acts 29 Network and author of "Awake and Alive: A 30-Day Challenge to Revive Your Faith."
With the demands of jobs, relationships, parenthood, paying bills, and church activities, many of us find ourselves up sleepwalking through life, scarcely paying attention to our connection to the God who created us. But there is a better way—a path to living fully awake and fully alive to God's presence.
In Awake and Alive: A 30-Day Challenge to Revive Your Faith, respected pastor, speaker, and author Matt Chandler calls you to wake up, guiding you through a series of bold challenges to revitalize your spiritual life.

On today's PoM podcast we going to talk about how difficult it can be for men to get over the hurdle of friendship.

For many men the time we reach our 40s or 50s, our world is usually full of work, family, church, obligations etc, but our soul can still feel empty when it comes to real brotherhood. Today we are going to give a roadmap for how a Christian man can begin to build genuine friendships at this stage of life.

On today’s PoM podcast I sat down and spoke with Jon Seidl author of “Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic: A Candid Conversation on Drinking, Addiction, and How to Break Free.”

In Confessions of a Christian Alcoholic, Jonathon M. Seidl vividly tells his own story of disordered drinking. Not only does he address the roots of addiction, trauma, and the often-overlooked reality that Christians aren't immune to sin struggles, he also reframes the term alcoholic and shares the practical yet spiritual four-step process he used to break free—a process readers will find helpful for working through many of life's struggles.

587: Out In The Garage | Discerning The Call to Ministry Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On today's Out In The Garage podcast I am going to repond to a question I received recently about discerning the call to full-time ministry. When it comes to ministry there is vocational ministry and then there is the ministry of every believer wherever they are planted. We are going to attempt to address both of those to give us a better idea of God's plan and purpose in all seasons of life.

Show notes

On today's PoM podcast we going to talk about how as men of God we can be on the offensive when it comes to winning the battle against lust & temptation. For far to long we have bought into the idea of the only way to have victory in this is to be retreating the whole time, that is simply not the case.

On today's PoM podcast I sat down with Joby Martin, founder and lead pastor of the Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville Florida and author of "Stand Firm and Act Like Men: Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You Are."

In this new book, Pastor Joby walks through what the Bible means when it says, ‘be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that you do be done in love’ (1 Corinthians 16:13). He guides readers through what scripture says about who men are, how they should act, and what it means to be a man in today’s culture, and he asks tough questions about how God calls men to respond.
