Today, we’re talking to men about men. Many men in culture today are in crisis. From every direction, they are presented with a deformed masculinity. One that sees women as conquests rather than partners. One that values success at work over success at home. One that hinders true and open friendships with other men who hold them up and hold them accountable. But we were made for more than this. It's time to rekindle the fire living inside of them and awaken them to the value of valiant, righteous manhood. Adding a lot of value to the conversation this week is New York Times bestselling author, Stephen Mansfield.

This week’s conversation is with Jason Vallotton, whose life resonates with the proof that you can win the war against your inner critic and against the lies that keep you from living fully alive. Most people go through life trying not to get hit. But that reactionary posture of avoiding pain is exactly what will keep you from living a strong and successful life in the here and now. So, in today’s conversation, you’re going to walk away with some practical strategies to win in your mental and emotional health and stop the up-and-down inconsistencies that I know you wish you could change if you had a plan.

Coming out of the height of the coronavirus pandemic, there’s a word none of us can ignore, and that word is “trauma.” Dr. James Gordon, one of the world’s foremost psychiatric experts and trauma specialists, learned firsthand that trauma will come to all of us sooner or later. But amidst this fact, each of us has the capacity to understand and heal ourselves. And so in today’s conversation with Dr. Gordon, we’ll talk about the movement from trauma to healing and wholeness and how you can live a transformed life from the inside out.

Right now, one of the things many of us have had to let go of is that comfort of familiarity. People want to get back to “normal” life, even if the “normal” life before COVID was anything but life-giving. Attachment to the comfort of familiarity is hard to break, especially when we’re feeling the budge to change the direction of our life and do something different. What gets in the way of making that decision, of pulling the trigger and taking a risk? Fear? Inadequacy? Lack of preparation? In today’s conversation with former co-host of ABC’s “The View” and co-anchor of “Good Morning America,” Paula Faris, we’ll walk through the steps necessary to make a life-altering change. We’ll also talk about burnout, people-pleasing, the Enneagram, and so much more. How do you know if you should be doing something different with your life? That’s the question we’ll tackle today in my conversation with Paula Faris.

While we hear all about achieving our goals, I think the preeminent goal every one of us should embrace is the goal to finish well in life. And so in today’s conversation with Jo Saxton, we’ll unpack what it means to finish well in life, how fear grows in the dark and sabotages your “today,” and even how to unhook the reflex of self-promotion and self-protection from our pursuits and our relationships.

According to today’s guest, co-author of the massively successful book, “Every Man’s Battle,” Steve Arterburn, sexual temptation and sexual addiction is a fight to be won. Today, we’re taking a deep-dive into the subject of sexual addiction, and how to break-free from the brain-altering, relationship-crushing weight of this insidious trap. This conversation isn’t for the faint of heart, as we get quite raw and vulnerable, but I do believe that after having listened today, you’ll take steps to total victory in this area of battle…for every man.

Amidst a global crisis, and even challenges in our personal lives, how do we cope with anxiety in a healthy fashion? How do we grieve the loss of “normal” life; life as it was? And, how do we care for our soul so that we flourish for the long-haul? That’s the conversation I’m having today with Dr. John Delony, one of Dave Ramsey’s key team members and personalities.

Today’s conversation offers an invitation amidst this frenetic time in culture. And the invitation is to answer this question: “Are you a problem or are you a solution?” When it seems like days are piling atop one another and there’s nothing to do, who are you becoming? You see the point of designing our roadmap to wholeness doesn’t end with ourselves, but instead, aims your life at being a solutions-provider to a world desperate for answers to life’s daily challenges. And that’s the conversation I had with one of my closest friends, Drew Neal. Please lean-in to this conversation with an open ear and a ready heart. It could change…everything.

Today, we’re stepping into Katherine and Jay Wolf’s story, which began when Katherine experienced a debilitating stroke 12 years ago. Coming out of that were a lot of questions, post-traumatic stress, and a myriad of complications. But also, an opportunity. We’re going to talk about what hope really is, how shame manifests in men and women differently, how to walk through post-traumatic stress, how to approach the unknown, and how a marriage survives repeated crisis. We’ll also take a look into the deep desire to be fully known and fully loved as well as the modulation of our spirit and soul through trauma and loss. This conversation takes a pretty cool journey through the soul, so I’m excited to share it with you right now. And don’t forget, you can watch this very conversation on YouTube, too.

Today, we’re talking about the dreams and desires of your heart. The dreams in your heart are often birthed through what is in your hands today. Too many people get burned-out on their dreams and unfortunately fall off the deep end and flat-out quit. But there’s a better way. In this week’s conversation with Ryan Romeo, co-founder of the wildly successful Outcry Tour, you’ll learn how to stay emotionally healthy as you pursue your dream. In addition, we’re going to step into Ryan’s step-by-step playbook from taking your dream from your heart, to paper, to reality. Many of us are working from home and have more time on our hands. Maybe now is the time to slow-down, to shut down, and audit the dreams in your heart and begin to put plan to paper so that when we rise out of this crisis, you’ll have new-found hope to share with the world.

In today’s conversation with Facebook Executive, Nona Jones, we’re talking all about success from the inside out, how to achieve success that carries across work and home life so that you’re not depleted in any one domain of your life, and even the difference between bad success and good success. Nona’s story, through the lens of her very difficult upbringing, is going to challenge you to audit the behaviors and beliefs that are holding you back from experiencing consistent success in your life. In fact, Nona said, "I've discovered that the only thing stronger than the power trauma has to change you is the power you reclaim when you acknowledge its effect on you.”

A couple weeks ago, we stepped into a conversation with Danny Silk about navigating through difficult relationships and moving toward connection and reconciliation. But this week, we’re taking a deeper dive into the nitty gritty of betrayal in relationships. We’re talking with Phil Waldrep about the secondary repercussions of experienced betrayal in a relationship, how that experience can shape our identity, and also, steps to walk through to healing, including how to care for your body’s health through this process. This is a practical conversation that I believe is going to add a ton of value to your life.

Disappointment and expectations for the future often go hand-in-hand. And after a series of disappointments, it’s easy to normalize a paradigm for life about what didn’t happen. But in today’s conversation with Joshua Gagnon, you’ll hear first-hand about navigating through disappointment, but also, how to determine what your dreams actually are, how dreaming helps you discover your purpose, and how to navigate your life through moments of indecision.

One aspect of trauma that is important to discuss is sexual trauma, especially exacerbated by our overly sexual, pornography-laced culture. Trauma in and of itself is difficult to hurdle, but there’s something about sexual trauma that affects the deepest part of our being, the spirit. In today’s conversation with Rebecca Bender, we’re going to hear about her multi-year imprisonment as a slave of the sex trafficking industry, how she found freedom, and the steps she took to get there. This conversation isn’t for the faint of heart, but I believe it is one that will illuminate hope for freedom for whatever you’re walking through today.

Whether you realize it or not, your subconscious mind is 1,000,000 times more powerful than your conscious mind. And that subconscious program runs 95-99% of every day of your life. To that, we all have had negative experiences in our lives, the memories of which can cause shame, embarrassment, fear, trauma, and worse. Those memories often prevent us from reaching our goals, whether they be related to health, career, relationships, or success in other areas. And so in today’s conversation with international bestselling author, Dr. Alex Loyd, we’re going to unpack the brilliance of the mind, how to reprogram traumatic subconscious memories, and how to set a course for effective, lasting personal growth.

Living with humans is messy. Our kids make messes. Our spouses and friends make messes. So do our coworkers, bosses, and leaders...and so do we. Messes are scary, painful, and offensive. And whether we're dealing with the pain of a personal failure, the frustration of a relationship turned sour, the devastation of a major betrayal, or the stress of a workplace conflict, classically we react the same way--with fear, shame, and punishment. These reactions are understandable, but they don't do anything to fix the problem. In fact, they only perpetuate a culture of fear, unforgiveness, retribution, and disconnection. But there is another way, and that way is what Danny Silk will share with us in today’s featured conversation.

Today’s conversation is with one of my favorite people in the world, John Eldredge. And I want to set today up by asking you a few questions:

  • Are you happy most of the time?
  • Do you feel deeply loved?                                            
  • Are you excited about your future?
  • How often do you feel lighthearted?

If your answer to any other those is “no” or “not really,” John is here with me and ready to help you get your life back.
