Summary:In this episode, we tackle one of the most subtle and destructive traps in the Christian life: the fear of man. So many believers live for the approval, acceptance, and applause of others—yet this “disease to please” suffocates conviction, silences our witness, and weakens our walk with God. When people become big and God becomes small, we lose courage, clarity, and calling. But there is a cure: the fear of God.Takeaways: - Living for approval is bondage — When people’s opinions matter more than God’s, we lose spiritual freedom.- The fear of man silences conviction — It keeps us from speaking, standing, and obeying when it counts.- People cannot define your identity — Only God has the authority to say who you are.- Fear kills courage — When fear of people enters, faith and boldness exit.- Every believer will face a moment of choice — Stand with God or blend in with the crowd.- Approval from God is worth more than applause from crowds — The only words that matter in the end are, “Well done.”Subscribe on YouTube @mantalkpod for more content Promoting Biblical Masculinity Follow on Facebook @mantalkpodFollow on X & Instagram @mantalkpodcast Visit www.mantalkpodcast.com to submit questions or learn more.

S3|E8 - The Grind of Godliness (Spiritual Disciplines)
Summary:This episode calls men to embrace spiritual disciplines not as empty rituals or self-improvement projects, but as intentional habits that open us to God’s transforming grace. Many christian men lean too heavily into comfort, but men need challenge, responsibility, and a call to follow God more closely.For men, discipline is crucial: we thrive on structure, goals, and challenge. Just as physical training strengthens the body, spiritual training builds godliness (1 Tim. 4:7-8). The call is to be intentional—growth will not happen by accident. Spiritual disciplines are biblical practices (like prayer, Bible intake, fasting, worship, service, etc.) that help believers grow in Christlikeness through power of the Holy Spirit. Takeaways:- Spiritual disciplines are habits and practices that draw us closer to God and shape us into Christlikeness.- They are not an end to themselves, and do not replace the power of God working in our lives.- Spiritual growth won’t happen by accident—you must be intentional.- You can’t coast into godliness, and no one else can do the work for you.- True manhood requires training in godliness that lasts for both this life and the life to come.Subscribe on YouTube @mantalkpod for more content Promoting Biblical MasculinityFollow on Facebook @mantalkpod Follow on X & Instagram @mantalkpodcastAsk questions and learn more at www.mantalkpodcast.com
