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?

Pastor Marcus Rogers opens up like never before. At 12 years old, he stood on a bridge ready to end his life — until he heard God speak the words: “Don’t do it, son.” That moment marked him forever.God spared him multiple times — through war, street violence, heartbreak, betrayal, and spiritual warfare. This is the raw testimony behind the boldness millions see online. Marcus shares how God broke him into a million pieces, rebuilt his purpose, and called him into ministry with fire, clarity, and compassion.“I had to break you into a million pieces to feed you to a million people.”We also dive into major conversations in Christianity today: Maverick City, Diddy, Charlie Kirk, Philip Anthony Mitchell, the American church, spiritual deception, Nigerian persecution, Trump, college indoctrination, and holiness.If you’ve ever wondered what Marcus really thinks, what he’s seen behind the scenes, or why he speaks the way he does — press play.Bold. Honest.
