In this episode of the I Like Birds Podcast, Dr. Jim Bob shares his raw journey through child loss, grief, and the miracle of becoming an adoptive family.

What if the struggles most men face aren’t random, but the result of living in a shadow version of who they were created to be? In this deep convo, Preston Woody joins Zach to break down the four core roles of a man—King, Warrior, Poet, and Priest—and the eight shadow figures that hijack each one. Through faith, psychology, and the example of Jesus as the perfect man, you’ll discover how to step out of the shadows and become more present, grounded, and whole.🔗 Connect with Preston and Zach 📲 Preston Woodyhttps://www.instagram.com/prestonwoody/📲 Zach Rippeyhttps://www.instagram.com/zachrippey23/Support the Ministry below:🎁 Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/ILikeBirds🕊️ Make a Donationhttps://ilikebirdsministry.com/support📘 21 Days in AfricaAmazon: https://a.co/d/3iFskiYSigned Copy + Free Gift:https://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop/p/21-days-in-africa-signed-paperback🧢 Bird Merchhttps://ilikebirdsministry.com/shop💙 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=C55JZNGUB97EE✊🏽 Venmohttps://account.venmo.com/u/zachrippey23📚 I Like Books — Get 20% Offhttps://www.faithandflame.com/pages/my-shop/zachrippeyUse code: ILIKEBIRDS20🧡 Sponsor a Child | The Suubi Projecthttps://suubiproject.org/🛏️ Cozy Earth — 41% OFFUse code ILIKEBIRDS at checkoutBamboo Sheet Set:https://cozyearth.com/products/bamboo-sheet-set?variant=40965917835444Luxe Bath Sheets:https://cozyearth.com/products/luxe-bath-sheets?variant=42846470013108🔌 Need a New Appliance?
