In this episode, Luke, Neil, and Matt talk about a shift we all need: not just chasing what we don’t have, but learning to protect what we do have—in our faith, our health, and our everyday decisions.

Using a practical “armor check” framework, the guys unpack the first half of the Armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes of the gospel of peace. Along the way, they hit the pressure of comparison culture, the danger of half-truths, why “simple” doesn’t mean “easy,” and what it looks like to stop striving long enough to let God do the work only He can do.

This is Part 1—and next week they finish the rest of the armor and bring it home with real-life application.

What if your next breakthrough isn’t a new plan… but a new person in your corner?
This week, the guys explore why role models and mentors are non-negotiable if you want to defeat the dad bod mentality—mind, body, and faith. They talk wins, routines, healthspan vs lifespan, and why you can’t imitate someone you only see “when the camera’s on.” Plus: how to choose the right mentor using the 3 C’s—and the simple coffee invite that could change your year.

“I eat pretty good” isn’t a strategy. In this episode we connect spiritual faithfulness with physical stewardship, then get practical: how tracking food (even just for 7 days) builds awareness, removes guesswork, and creates a foundation you can’t unlearn.

Perseverance matters—but so does wisdom. In Episode 3 we talk about plateaus, changing seasons, and having a “tool chest” instead of getting stuck on one tool. Sometimes growth looks like sharpening the ax, asking for help, and adjusting your approach without quitting on your purpose.

Ever miss your goals and feel like you “blew it”? We break down why growth isn’t a pass/fail day, and how learning, adjusting, and staying in the fight produces lasting change. The win is consistency—over time.

This is the start of a new kind of conversation for men who want to grow—mentally, spiritually, and physically. In this intro episode, we share why we launched Father Figures, what we mean by “defeating the dad bod mentality” (it’s way bigger than a number on the scale), and what you can expect each week: real talk, biblical perspective, practical habits, and a few laughs along the way. If you’re ready to lead yourself well, love your family well, and build a stronger life one step at a time—this podcast is for you.
