We take a brief pause to just have an off-the-cuff, one-sided discussion about the Half Time Show we saw during the Big Game last week. I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts about it.

Listen! This is not a conversation about whether you like the music or the style or the performer... if you don't then it just wasn't meant for you. This is not meant to be divisive in any way; I'm really just curious about the perspective that we, as fathers and followers of Jesus, ought to take when it comes to this type of entertainment-- and to "be in the world, but not of it." Enjoy and leave your comments below!

Buckle up! This is a tough one. I was very fortunate to be able to sit down once again with Micah and discuss how we're walking forward in relationships when TRUST has been destroyed. Betrayal in a relationship can be a great destroyer of connection, intimacy, and trust-- and sometimes it's from a major infraction, but often it's from a thousand tiny betrayals over time. We would all do well to listen to what Scripture has to say about trust, hope, and redemption. I really hope you enjoy this episode and that you are encouraged!

Welcome to Men's Breakfast! In this episode we discuss a clunky, "churchy" word that actually has some major implications for how we spend our time, energy, and resources. Pastor Tom Schutzius from Riverbank Church helps us better understand that this isn't just a money problem; it affects the time we spend and the choices we make each and every day. And in the end, are we accepting what has been given to us with a commitment to grow it and make it flourish? This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast table! In this conversation, we unpack one of the Fruits of the Spirit that tend to get away from many of us as men-- gentleness. It's more than just being a gentleman and holding doors or shoveling snow off cars; we're called to meet discord, conflict, and even aggression with gentleness (in love). It's not easy! Pastor Bob helps us wrestle with the opposing tendencies within us as we look at what it means to balance the tension between our preconceptions of "manliness" with what Scripture shows us. Gentleness is not weakness! Check it out!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast! In this uplifting episode we speak with Nick Hannon, an incredibly insightful man of faith who is also an extraordinary marketer and fitness coach with some excellent first-hand experience with transformation and change. You do not want to miss our conversation because it's just the dose of encouragement we needed to get off the proverbial couch and into the game! Feel free to leave your comments or questions for Nick or the Men's Breakfast Team AND don't forget to find Nick on Instagram: @Strong2start for an even bigger helping of inspiration. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast! We're so excited to be kicking off SEASON 2 with brand new episodes every week to sharpen and encourage! In this episode we look at a couple verses in Ephesians and Colossians about making allowances for other people's faults because God forgave and loved us first! Some real talk from the trenches to kick off our new year 2025!

And STAY TUNED in coming weeks for new guests, authentic and gritty discussions, and hopefully some extra encouragement for all of us. I'm so glad to be BACK with you at the Men's Breakfast table and let's pray that God continues to do a mighty work in the hearts and lives of our listeners out there!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron! In this week's episode we hear the ramblings of a mad-man from deep within his dark basement, discussing with mild coherency the fact that Halloween tends to inspire an awareness of our inherent sense of the NUMINOUS, particularly as described by CS Lewis in his lecture on "The Problem of Pain". Why are we intrigued by and drawn to ghost stories, the "uncanny", and those things that inspire more than the usual fear, but rather dread or awe? We might argue that it's because something within each of us is pulling us toward the spiritual (yes, the very Spirit of our Creator); it resonates inside us and is at the core of who we are, whether we acknowledge it or not. It's about to get weird. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Men's Breakfast Podcast, where we're all about iron sharpening iron! In this episode, we speak with Derek Tsakiris about the tough but prevalent topic of lust, pornography, and finding freedom from sexual sin. We unpack some of the differences between repenting from the sins of the flesh versus the need to renounce demonic influence around our struggle with sexual sin and addiction. Plus Derek shares some steps and recommendations on how to take action TODAY and find freedom from the bondage around lust and sex. Buckle up for this one!
