  • 146. Financial Fitness: Building Wealth with Kingdom Purpose.
    Jan 28 2026

    Originally released last year, this episode tackles a question many men quietly wrestle with: How much is truly enough? The answer offered here may challenge common assumptions about success, wealth, and purpose.

    Instead of defining “enough” by numbers or milestones, the conversation reframes money as a resource meant to support God’s calling—not the goal itself. When wealth is viewed as a tool rather than a destination, it opens the door to impact that lasts far beyond financial statements.

    The episode includes honest reflections on early financial success, including becoming millionaires at a young age—and the costly lessons learned along the way. Those experiences reinforce a timeless truth: wisdom, not income, determines how money ultimately serves or sabotages a life. As Scripture reminds us, money moves quickly through careless hands.

    Biblical stewardship takes center stage as the discussion explores generosity from a Kingdom perspective. God’s abundance is already complete; giving is not about meeting His needs but reshaping our hearts. A compelling distinction is drawn between generosity from excess versus generosity from what we’ve stored up for ourselves—prompting listeners to examine their own motivations and habits.

    For business owners navigating cycles of growth and uncertainty, this episode offers grounded insight on applying steady principles while staying attentive to what God may be teaching in every season. Examples of companies like Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby illustrate how business, when guided by conviction, can become a force for human flourishing.

    If money has felt like a source of pressure, confusion, or misplaced focus, this conversation offers a grounded and faith-filled way to think differently—one that prioritizes wisdom, stewardship, and generosity with eternal significance.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Viewing wealth through a Kingdom-centered perspective
    • Understanding financial maturity and Biblical stewardship
    • Clarifying when “enough” is truly enough
    • Recognizing and avoiding the pull of greed
    • A practical challenge to steward resources with intention

  • 145. You Don't Have to Face Life Alone: The Value of Male Community.
    Jan 21 2026

    We’re revisiting a conversation from last year that speaks directly to one of the most common excuses men carry: “I just don’t have the bandwidth.”

    In this episode, the focus is on why meaningful friendships rarely happen by accident—and why waiting until life falls apart is far too late to start building them. When work demands and family responsibilities dominate the calendar, relationships are often postponed. But real brotherhood is formed long before it’s needed, through consistency, commitment, and showing up even when it costs time and comfort.

    The discussion highlights how connection among men grows best in natural, shared spaces rather than forced or overly formal settings. Training together, playing a round of golf, serving at church, or committing to a structured brotherhood like ISI all create environments where trust develops over time. These connections don’t stay confined to one area of life—they influence character, faith, decision-making, and even career direction.

    At its core, this episode explores what separates acquaintances from true brothers. The men who know your full picture—home life, pressures, blind spots, and strengths—are the ones who can offer real insight, challenge you when needed, and stand with you through both wins and setbacks.

    If you’ve ever told yourself you’ll focus on relationships “when things slow down,” this conversation invites a different perspective—and a better way forward.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why brotherhood is worth the investment
    • Moving past isolation and self-reliance
    • Understanding trust and openness in male friendships
    • Creating space for relationships in a full schedule
    • Using community as a tool for growth
    • Simple, actionable ways to build strong bonds

  • 144. Investing in Brotherhood: The Power of Male Friendships.
    Jan 14 2026

    This week, we’re bringing back a conversation from last year that continues to hit close to home—especially for men who are building, leading, and carrying a lot on their shoulders.

    In this episode, we unpack why isolation quietly erodes growth and why meaningful male friendships are not optional if you want to live with integrity, faith, and long-term impact. The discussion goes beyond surface-level connection and into what happens when men surround themselves with trusted, objective voices who are willing to challenge them, encourage them, and call them higher.

    We also address a tension many men know all too well: chasing success while unintentionally sidelining the relationships that matter most. Through honest personal stories, we reflect on moments that forced hard perspective shifts—especially the realization that financial wins can never replace missed time with a spouse or children. As one sobering reminder puts it: you can rebuild income, but you don’t get a second shot at being present for your family.

    The episode highlights how brotherhood creates momentum in unexpected ways. When relationships are formed without agendas or transactions, doors often open—personally and professionally. Some men enter community looking to grow their business and discover personal transformation. Others come seeking growth and find opportunities they never anticipated.

    This conversation invites you to take an honest look at the men you’re doing life with. Who sharpens you? Who celebrates your progress? Who has permission to speak truth when it’s uncomfortable? The strength of those relationships may determine the ceiling of your leadership and the depth of your fulfillment.

    If you’re tired of carrying everything alone, this episode is worth another listen—or a first one.

    Key Takeaways:

    • You don’t have to carry life on your own
    • Why isolation quietly undermines excellence
    • Creating margin for what truly matters
    • Keeping family relationships at the center
    • Using community as a catalyst for shared growth
    • Building connections that compound over time
