On today's PoM podcast episode I sat down with James McLamb, founder of Generation Youth. 

James has spent years sitting with young people who are watching the men in their lives closely, not for perfection, but for honesty, steadiness, and integrity. He has also spent time with men who love their families deeply yet feel the unspoken pressure to always be strong, certain, and composed. Through these experiences, James speaks powerfully to the gap many men feel between who they believe God is calling them to be and how they actually experience daily life as a husband, father, and leader.

On today's PoM podcast episode we talk about "The Most Important Message of All Time" the ressurection of Jesus. 
If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then we are people to be pitied. But if He is alive, and I believe He is and the first century followers believed He is, then that changes everything.

On today's PoM podcast episode I sat down with Luke Detraz, author of "The War For Men, What The World Is Trying To Strip Away."

Everywhere you look, men are drifting, discouraged, or defeated. Some are crushed by wounds that never healed. Others numb themselves with habits that never satisfy. Too many shrink back, living passive lives in a world that desperately needs their strength.

But this isn’t who men were created to be.
From the beginning, God called men to lead with courage, fight with honor, and leave a lasting legacy.

This book is not about empty hype. It’s about transformation.Each chapter combines biblical stories with real-life struggles and victories, followed by reflection questions and action steps that move you from theory to practice.

This isn’t just another book about manhood. It’s a blueprint for becoming whole, the kind of man who changes families, shapes communities, and inspires the next generation.

On today's PoM Podcast Episode I sit down with former University of Notre Dame football player Trevor Ruhland to talk about life beyond the game. Trevor shares his journey through college football, the pressure that comes with competing at a high level, and the hidden battle he faced with an eating disorder.
This conversation goes deeper than sports. We unpack the mental toll that performance, identity, and expectations can have on a man—and what it looks like to confront those struggles head-on. Trevor opens up about hitting a breaking point, doing the hard work of getting his mind right, and finding a healthier path forward.
If you’ve ever struggled with identity, control, or mental health—or know someone who has—this episode is a real, honest look at what it takes to fight back and rebuild.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
The reality of playing high-level college football
How an eating disorder developed behind the scenes
The mental and emotional challenges athletes often hide
Steps toward healing, discipline, and renewed purpose
This is a conversation about strength—not just physical, but mental and spiritual.
