The Endangered Species

God has placed the desire for true manhood in the heart of every man. In this episode, Sean & Logan break down 4 historical & 4 modern enemies of true, godly manhood. 

“Satan would love nothing more than for boys not to become Christ-following, godly men..." 

It's important to look back historically & to recognize our current cultural moment so that we can thwart the enemies seeking to hinder us from growing in true, godly manhood. Join us, aspiring men!

Sean & Logan made a recent trip to Fort Collins, Colorado where they had the privilege of sitting down with a group of young men from Colorado State University to have a conversation about love, sex, and dating.

In baseball, scouts are always on the lookout for a player who can hit, hit for power, run (fast), field, and throw. If you can do all five of these at a high level, you are what's known as a “five-tool player,” and teams will do whatever they can to add you to their roster. Because five-tool players are extremely rare.

As we've studied godly men over the years, we’ve realized that godly men are five-tool players. The godly man must consistently have these five tools in his life:

1. Peers to push him
2. Models to mentor him
3. A training plan to transform him
4. God’s Word to guide him
5. The Holy Spirit to strengthen him

In the fifth episode of this five part series, Sean & Logan unpack the absolutely vital role God's Word plays in the life of a believer, as well as some practical tips for how to get the most out of it.

It’s not very often that you spend time with someone & they make you want to be better in every way. Our guest today, Lewis Greer, is a better golfer than us, a better businessman, a better Christian & a better man. Lewis is the founder of Do Good University, a company that consults with for profits. He evaluates how much good the company is doing in the world & he coaches the leaders to increase the good they’re doing internally toward team members & externally toward customers & the community at large. Lewis is one of those guys that just lives it. One of the things that stuck out to us from the first day we met Lewis was his commitment to thoughtful speech. We’ve witnessed Lewis in countless situations where he could have chosen to slander or chop someone else down with his words & he refuses to do it. Turns out, this is all very intentional. We can’t wait for you to hear this life changing discussion with Do Good U’s Lewis Greer.

Globetrotting speaker & Dubai resident Hudson Smith came on the pod to talk about the importance of doing hard things as a follower of Jesus. Godly men don’t shy away from challenge. They’re fearless. We need more men like Hudson. You’ll see what I mean shortly.

What comes to mind when you think of today’s 22 year old American male? For me, I think of a guy who doesn’t read, spends much of his life watching Netflix and gaming online, probably hasn’t moved out from living with mommy and daddy, and has a lot of tendencies toward passivity. 22 year old Logan is none of these things. Logan didn’t grow up wise, but he’s wise now. Logan didn’t grow up a reader, but he’s a reader now. He’s highly competent socially and has a high emotional quotient. And he’s a godly man.

One of the marks of a godly man is he stands his ground, even if he has to stand alone. How do we speak truth in a cancel culture society? What’s it like to stand for what scripture says when almost no one’s got your back? What if you posted something on social media that almost a million people viewed and MANY disagreed with vehemently? What if you’re only twenty years old and you had to live with the backlash? Austin Wales is a college student at the university of Arizona and (more importantly) a godly man. He joins us to share thoughts on how to deal with your critics and doing a dating relationship differently from everyone around you.

What do you do when the girl you love informs you that if you marry her, along with her you’re marrying into a mountain of debt? I don’t know many young men who would handle it like today’s guest did. Cam Christian is a media specialist, videographer, gig economy opportunist extraordinaire in Fort Worth, TX.  He’s also a godly man. Cam details how he and his best friend/wife Jenna, attacked what he calls “our debt.”

I love talking with athletes. Once an athlete, always an athlete. And our guest today will always be an athlete. Mike played quarterback for the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. He’s a very successful businessman and entrepreneur.  He’s a native Hawaiian and he’s a competitor. Mike loves to compete. He’s an investor, a speaker and an author. He’s a screenplay writer. He loves the Lord. I’ve never met anyone who invites as many people to church. And he’s an incredible interview. You’re gonna enjoy Mike.

I’ve been wanting to talk with a godly, manly artist for a long time. I got my chance with Tim Sears. Tim shares fresh thoughts on God, art, the masculinity of duty, and the eerie and awesome feeling of running alone into battle. He also talks functional saviors that we go to when we should be putting our trust in Christ instead.
