The damn Liberal goon squad are trying to demonize Mike!!!! Just saw a bunch of videos on Tiktok and X talking crap about Mike being a unholy American! FK The DEMOcrat goons targeting good Conservatives like MIKE!
Biblical masculinity is Jesus. 100%. He loved everyone but didn’t hold back in pointing out people’s sins. He healed the sick and afflicted, but confronted corruption.
I got married to my wife at 18, I’m 20 years old now. My biggest goal is to be just like my dad. One of the most godly manly men I’ve ever had the honor to know and learn from. Got big shoes to fill
I got married at 19 and am 26 now. 2 children and I’m more in love with my wife now than ever before. This has only been possible through our savior Jesus Christ and with the help of our church. Keep goin brotha! You’ve got this man!
I'm 29, just got my hunters safety.. Been out with a bow a few times, started shooting skeet on weekends, started Taekwondo a few months ago, started bushcraft/backpacking.. These are all things I never grew up doing, that I want to at least become semi-competent to teach my kid who will be born a month from now :D never too late to start, I'm a year sober and never felt better in my entire life! Oh, also got pretty good at baking bread.. smoking meat, and canning in the last couple months too. Christ is #1, Diet is #2.. Another thing that has been the primary focus of my life this past year, learning how to worship, pray, and serve Jesus. Edit! My baby girl has been home for 2 weeks now! Shes healthy, smart, and makes me want to slam weights harder at the gym, getting strong to protect her :) Update. Baby girl is 3months old, strong, chubby, and happy! I also went from 148lbs body weight to 175lbs! Been at the gym 4 days a week, Squat 250, Deadlift 250, bench 200... Let's go!!!!
Absolutely, luckily I've always had my nose in books, books are invaluable. Recently built a book shelf and makes me happy seeing them on display@@lvrrylxrd232
I'm so confused. Does it mean I'm not a man if I'm not assertive, dominant, aggressive. I can't fight at all. I don't know how to be tough. I'm soft and passive. I cry alot. No experience with women at all. I mean what woman would want to date a guy like me?

@@bipslone8880so you have made no plans for tomorrow? No plans for a family? No plans for retirement? Since only an idiot would use faith that he will be alive tomorrow to form a belief that he must prepare for the future.
I’ll say this is subjective. He has a different way of introducing himself to each individual. Having kids brought me to God. Holding my son on the day he was born completely changed me. I did a complete 180. I didn’t have a great father figure to model being a father off of. I only knew how I wouldn’t be as a father. I started reading books and seeking out good fathers. And then I was lead to the Bible - the ultimate guide to being a great father.
This is very accurate, I claimed to be saved but did Not live a Christ led life. However, since learning I’m having a son, it has really opened my eyes up to what I’ve done. Almost like it was His way of bringing me closer to Him since I didn’t have a father figure in my life.
The only thing missing from this podcast is grace. A real man forgives quickly and shows grace. A real man also embraces grace knowing they will never meet the standard set by God. We can try and try and we should try every day but the standard is Christ and we will never reach it. So the grace and mercy of Christ is an essential part of our gospel that I didn’t hear in this podcast. Edit: I want to add to this a little bit to clarify some things for people. My point in commenting this was that it’s important to fully represent Christ if we are going to at all. We as believers don’t get to pick and choose what we believe or overemphasize the points that fit our lives and make us feel good. It’s easy to focus on a particular aspect of Christ and use it to justify our actions rather than changing our actions to reflect Him as completely as we can. We obviously won’t ever get there but that’s what it means to be sanctified, to become more like Christ. So while they highlighted an important piece of being a god fearing man they left out one of the most crucial pieces that is the center of our Gospel. If God had the attitude many of us do in these comments we’d be roasting for eternity. Graciousness and patience is every bit as manly as strength and righteous aggression. Our primary goal should always be to point people to Christ in everything we do whether it be protecting the innocent or showing mercy to those who don’t deserve it.
Um forgiving quickly is not always an indicator. If you slaughter my family and I instantly forgive you the next day, there is something either wrong with me or I am lying.
I'm not a masculine man at all and I don't know how to be masculine. I'm not tough, assertive, dominant or aggressive. I need help. I don't know what else to do.
@@burtonjernigan1997 read the Bible first and foremost. Everything about being a GOOD man can be gone in scripture. You don’t need to be some crazy mountain man or quit your job if you work in an office. Love deeply and protect those you love fiercely. Aggression also does not equal masculinity. Controlled righteous aggression does. John Lovell is a great resource on biblical manhood. There is much more to being a good man than being “masculine” that’s a small part of it.
I’m a man’s man, God broke me. You have to repent and go to war with your sin first. The Bible is paramount. I am still a man’s man, completely reliant on Christ.
This. ⚔️🛡🙌🏻 ALL of this!! As a female, I know I'm not really the intended audience, but I felt like it gave me a deep insight for how to pray over the warrior man God has in mind for me while I'm likewise busy focusing on my own purpose & bettering myself too. And a prayer over my Godsons. Thank you for this. Powerful & timely for this war season.
I'm am nothing the men described in this video and it just makes me feel like God made a huge mistake by making me a male. I'm supposed to be a woman. I'm not masculine at all. I'm weak, not assertive, not aggressive and not dominant. I can't even fight.
@@burtonjernigan1997no, don’t think like that in this time of age.. you are a man, period. god made no mistakes making you. He makes no mistakes at all. Everyday you wake up is gods decision, that he needs you, he loves you, and he will NEVER forsake you. I want you to have more faith in him, pray to him about what bothers you, look into the other masculine traits that you have instead of the ones you don’t. Pray that he gives you the traits that you want. (You don’t need to learn how to fight, violence is unnecessary and childish 😉) I pray for you, and I love you. ❤
@@burtonjernigan1997 Please don't cut your dick off and believe in nonsense like being born in the wrong body. Everyone has their own way to achieve masculinity. I live in a 3rd world country in Asia, most of the manliest men I know don't look like bearded veterans that came home from deployment. They show their masculinity by being a damn good leader, provider and honest to god person. You don't have to be the stereotypical bearded aggressive 300lb bench pressing guy to be "a man". Also being assertive and standing up for yourself is a skill that can be learned.
@@burtonjernigan1997that’s a lie from the pit of hell God made you a biological man for a reason all these thoughts of negativity is not from God but stems from demons the devil and this rotting flesh , I pray over you in the name of Jesus that God will ignite a fire inside that you are a man !! In the name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏽
@@burtonjernigan1997who’s telling you that? Men and women can have opposite sex traits but that should be the bottom line. If you are a Christian, you know the devil loves to confuse
I'm 52 years old, first time I ever heard your podcast, God bless both you men... I wish I had your wisdom at that age. Your parents must be proud of you!! 👍🙏
My parents always told me they didn't care what everybody else was doing I wasn't doing it. And they told me if I wanted a car and license I had to have a job to pay for gas and insurance. They taught me if you want something you have to work to earn it, don't depend on someone else to support you. It wasn't the most fun as a child but I'm thankful today!!
It's honestly for your best, it teaches you a valuable lessons.( even if your parents motivation to do so came from selfishness) But are you a christian? Because i struggle immensely on trusting someone else for anything and you can't live the Christian life that way.
I'm sure God guided me to this video. Cuz I'm not a typical looking Christian and I'm nowhere near perfect I'm pretty bad but I'm loving how this guy doesn't sissyfy Jesus :)
BEEN PRAYING FOR MIKE THAT JESUS WOULD ARREST HIS HEART COMPLETELY!!! MIKE IS ALREADY AN AMAZING MAN BUT WITH JESUS!!!! HOLY SMOKES..LOL IM IN LOVE!!!...LOL
Wow I’m 19 years old I can’t even explain how this made me feel better about keeping my virginity. Sometimes I get these thoughts that I’m doing something wrong saving myself. Thank Jesus I came across this video💯
That is very respectable coming from a guy, it’s so precious and shouldn’t just be given to anyone. Just like you wouldn’t want your wife to throw herself around, expect the same from yourself, your going the right way!❤
Keep going young brother i was fool and let those around me influence me, keep your virginity. Read the word of God, pray and praise! Train fitness and martial arts, and you will do well!
I grew a whole new respect for you Mr. Glover as a 21 year old man in this weak ass generation who does his best to follow Jesus Christ and study preparedness, I love that a man of your caliber is having this conversation. I do hope this reaches others in my generation as well as many others because there are a bunch of pussies who allow the mistreatment from our government and stand by while believing that false God's will save them however I also try to spread word in the sense of Biblical masculinity and world knowledge to get ready for WW3 and the second coming now I have reached a small amount of people compared to you but I stand with you and you got a soldier right here ready to learn and fight from Texas stay strong and we support you brother ✊️
Really there speaking on biblical masculinity on connecting with god So your negativity toward this is not needed of course that's my own personal opinion. So often religious people are so judgmental. I am not saying by no means that a man does not need to read the Bible but this is not about reading the Bible as Glover said pick up on what there putting down instead of trying to put them down. So not cool at all.
In the Bible God doesn’t argue about His existence either. It’s obvious as a Godly man your foundation is Gods word. I believe he is striving to explain his view on what makes a strong Godly man who can lead, provide, protect, and build Gods kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven and that starts with a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
My father passed away very suddenly when I was 12 and left a huge gap in my life regarding masculinity. I had to learn from other men around me and at 43 I’m still on that journey. But I’m teaching my sons the things I’ve learned so they don’t miss out. I’m thankful to the Christian men who discipled me and taught me how to be resilient and also compassionate. And also, amazing conversation!
Man I felt this comment so hard brotha. May the Lord our God, the one and only God, the God who sacrificed his only son Jesus Christ for all of us, the God who with his own hands made you and me, may he bless you.
My dad passed away when I was 23 and had 4 mouths to feed. I was not ready and did not have anyone guide me or help me. So I am 35 now and still learning what it is to be a man in gods eyes and for myself that it is not toxic or demeaning to myself and people around me. It’s been a rough journey and felt bad at some point because I felt behind tremendously. Now I am making up for it at my own pace and learning. Still to this day wish I had a real man driven by god to teach me and guide me. I don’t trust a lot of these RUclipsrs to be honest. For now the Bible and the lord is my guide. 🙏🏼
@@juanmaldonado2096 I hear you man. I'm reminded of these verses from Psalm 68... 5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. 6 God sets the lonely in families,[a] he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
This entire podcast resonated so deep in my soul I can't explain it. And I was in need of a reminder, of someone to have the right words to say "man, you got to put in the work for things to work out. Stop buying into the social bullshit and be a man, go to work, work out, study, read and conect with god, remember who you are and why you are here and get after it".
BTW, I feel like this podcast should be repeaded but inviting John Lovel to the show, it would make for 3 hours of deep conversations with so much meanning...
It’s funny. I have been wrestling with this for the last year, wishing Christians weren’t always so weak, and how we lost the other side of the coin to what Jesus was, this made my day and week and year, thank you for all the good work your doing
Don't hesitate to check out Catholicism (mostly Eastern Catholics) and Eastern Orthodoxy.... they're polar opposite of the wimpy American Protestant Churches.
@@tylerwynn1646 I don’t want all the different sides of religion to push me to their side. I want the truth of what Jesus was. The objective truth, not subjective. To be what we all spread and deeply come to understand.
@@Juttargoe I tell you this because orthodoxy is the true ancient church from over 2 thousand years ago. It stands unchanged. Just look into it and you can decide for yourself. I understand what you’re saying though, I went through that too. It’s very irritating.
@@tylerwynn1646 my bad didn’t mean to come off like a a hole. I appreciate it- I’m gonna check it out now lol thanks for showing a helping hand. I just don’t understand how as Christian’s in the west we have drifted so far off course
I grew up in an atheistic household and most of my family are atheists. I found Christ on my own in my 20's especially after my first daughter was born. I found Christ and wasn't even looking or trying.
@@bipslone8880that’s why we don’t preach religion. But relationship with Christ. I urge you to look at “Man on the middle Cross” by Alistair Begg. 3 minute video. Summary…. We make it to heaven not because of me or I….. but because of Him, Jesus Christ God bless you.
"Jesus comes back with his sword in his mouth, his robe dipped in blood and a tattoo on his leg." That tattoo says KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Yeah....THAT'S my JESUS.
I grew up Atheist, mom & grandparents are Catholic. The older I get, the more I find myself looking to religion for guidance on how to think about things, not having a dad around I’ve learned allot of things later in life..
Stay out of religion and pursue faith... i used to think people were nuts when they said it's a personal relationship with God and while i kinda believed how the Bible could be true, i asked myself how do you have a relationship with character in a book...😂 how little did i know...
I'm a 32-year-old woman, and I'm SO happy to hear this conversation. I'm praying for a Christian man exactly as you're describing here to come into my life on God's terms. Thanks for the conversation, I appreciate you both.
Just remember God gives you what you need. Don't pile a lot of requirements on the list. God may send you a man you have to help to the right place to become more. But never settle. Wanting a Godly man is a fair ask... But keep faith.
Mike you are one of the guys I really look fwd to listing to. I'd like to see you on other free speech platforms. R..... Keep it up. Look up to you. TY for sharing with us civilians. Never know. Could have each other's backs one day being fellow Americans.
A man is a natural leader, especially within his house hold & family. A man must be brave in the face of evil & danger. A man would sacrifice himself to save a life of his family. You give a man unconditional loyalty, he’s yours forever.
This is what I need help with because I'm not masculine at all. I can't fight. I don't know how to lead, provide and protect. I'm not assertive, dominant or aggressive. I'm very feminine. I think God intended to make me a woman but never did.
@burtonjernigan1997 hi, I believe you made a similar comment elsewhere, I saw that someone replied to you that being a good man - biblically- is more than just being "masculine" or "assertive" or whatever. I just wanted to know if you saw that reply and if it helped you see things from a different perspective. And of course, our most accurate source of what God wants us to be is the Bible. I encourage you to read the letters of Paul. Paul's letters are essential for any believer male or female. Thank you and have a great day!
Sometimes it's the things nobody notices like making sure your kids aren't hungry for 2nds before you do, eating the bruised parts of bananas or cold scrapes from your kids plates and treating their mother well and pulling her weight while she is injured or ill (dishes, laundry, cleaning) Sometimes being a manly father is simpler then being Rambo. Not to be misunderstood, I completely agree with most of the points they bring up.
I actually never heard of this podcast I was going to click on PBD interviewing Tristan Tate this caught my eye and I’m so glad I watched it thank you for this new subscriber!
Read the Bible - Hebrews 11 is the chapter of faith - Packed full of warriors! In my large Ranger Ruck (Served as an Army SF guy for 21 yrs 21 days) was always packed a Gideon Bible. My body is broke - bad knees, back, neck, feet, but I still do what I can do. No longer can I hump a large Alice pack but I still can hump a Mysteryranch Bridger 35!
I've been screwed over by people I once called friend. So now I'm a loner with trust issues. My kids want to watch TV all the time and play video games. I do my best to limit their timing doing these things. They don't like it because they want to half ass their way thru life even though I'm not the type of person to half ass anything. So it's a struggle being the backbone of my household but I stand strong so maybe one day my children will see the man they want to be.
Single Dad here, my son lives with me full time. I get no help. I am a blue collar construction worker. My son is very intelligent and I have him in a highly respectable private Christian school. He is my only child. If I had 2 or more children I could not afford it. Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me I only have 1 child, but he will not be indoctrinated by these scumbags in public education. Besides that, he is also receiving a first rate education. The kind I did not receive. His schooling is a sure enough sacrifice, but I manage, thanks to God’s grace. How unfortunate we can no longer send our children to public schools because of the situation we find ourselves in…And I still live in a conservative state. Whatever it takes…Great conversation here, men. Thanks.
This man is a blessing. He’s led me to push back darkness and become a better father, husband, and teacher. Now I’m practicing BJJ because of him and I’m hitting the gym repeatedly because my family deserves the best of me. Thanks, Kyle.
I'm about 15 minutes in and loving this conversation. I'm 40 and discovering the same things. I'm a pastor and John Eldredge's books have been speaking to me recently about what it means to be a man and a Christian. I'm in a doctoral program working on a thesis and thinking about how I can focus on men's ministry.
I recommend checking out Richard D. Phillips book, Masculine Mandate. You'll have to determine whether Adam was created to live in the wilderness or created to rule and subdue the wilderness. I happen to think John Eldredge is applying the world's definition of a man onto Scripture.
@@twowheelventure If you see a theological problem running rampant, it's an opportunity to fight for biblical truth. We, as men, are called to raise our voice and act when needed. It's okay to be disagreeable with the groupthink. You should first raise the issue with your pastor/elders as they have been given authority to shepherd the flock.
@@mklite Yes sir. I have spoken up. It's not officially sponsored by the church. It's spreading in our small groups. I continue in prayer for boldness and discernment.
This was a great podcast Mike and Kyle! It was uplifting and challenging. Made me set some new goals and realize I have been letting some things slip. God bless y’all and your families
Young men all around the world need to sit around and listen to conversations just like this one .. conversations just like this is what helps turn young boys into respectable men … i grew up in east Tn amongst a bunch of drunks who didnt work and had absolutely nothing to offer … God seen fit for me to realize thats not the adult i wanted to be … thank God i never became a alchaholic and always worked at something wether i was paid or not . When i was a young boy all i wanted to be was a Man !!!! Then later on i realized i wanted to h be a good man a working man then when i got wise ..a Christian man .
I don't feel like a man at all and I think about hurting myself all the time. I'm weak, cowardly, not assertive, dominant or aggressive. I can't fight. I'm very emotional and passive. I think I'm gay also. I can't see any woman finding me attractive.
This is the first time I heard of Kyle Thomson. John Lovell with WPS (Warrior Poet Society) also a great choice for being a man warrior and poet in today's world. Thanks Mike for having Kyle. PTL Jesus!
Check out Eddie Penny also, great guy. He did an awesome interview with Shawn Ryan. Chadd Wright is another one. Bill Rapier is a righteous team 6 guy.... many godly warriors out there.
This topic is the life of my life. I walked away from the American Church and cling to Jesus deeper to teach me to be a man. I live in the wild. I love the wild. It is my home and Christ is my keeper.
Only half way in the video. This is awesome and good to hear I’m not crazy with some of the ways I’ve been preparing my kids. Having a teenage girl in public school constantly getting pulled this/that way is 100% a struggle. We talk out a lot of struggles though and most of the time she sees things from our perspective, thank you Lord!
I am in my 40s been through a lot of evil forces in my life. I have had a rough time lost my faith at one point, but I have experienced legitimate Devine intervention. Now I am trying to work on myself and my flaws and mental illness. I am reading books listening to audiobooks as well as RUclips and podcasts such as this. It is a good breath of fresh air to see regaurdless of where our majority of the people these days. Often times people are scared to speak on topics that have been forgot about or just issues related to ones faith. People seem to hide it or are scared to talk publicly about now like Christianity etc. content like this is stuff I’m into to try and learn more about myself how to live with my mental issues and be a better version of myself for my family. Great topic guys!!! Thank you!!
It’s funny bc majority of what guys were talking about , I match that very description. Literally scrolling around on RUclips at 5am mentally asking God for direction and your reel popped up. Did not feel like an hour podcast. I was locked in . Thanks so much I’m definitely subscribing for more.
Ive never heard a Christian speak this openly abt the harsh realities of being human. And of course the amazing opportunities we have as humans. Thanks boys.
As a 26 year old involved in the church as a musician and occasionally as a preacher, I’ve seen the dichotomy first hand. I was recently asked to speak at a men’s conference and I heavily touched topics about fatherhood, accountability, being protectors and providers, and when I tell you I was getting dead fish eyes from the vast majority of the audience. Maybe I’m too young to earn the attention and respect of others on these topics, but I don’t think the church has a done a great job even telling men they should care about these things. Let’s keep fighting for it to get better though 🙏🏽 you’ve got a new fan Kyle!
I hear you man. It’s not just your church it’s around the country dude. And your calling is to keep pushing through that sleeping church and build your ministry. These are experiences that you have to be exposed to.
This is an important episode for every man with children to listen to. My son's boyscout meeting was virtual last night. The topic of discussion was online safety. i was upset to see that I was the only adult that was on screen with my child, Paying attention to the content. Every parent needs to know how to access any messaging through their child's phone including game chat. There's no such thing as being too invasive in your child's life. It's up to you to protect them
Be Based Bros😎😁 The way to make it, is to love God with all your hearts, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, and then you'll be able to love your families, your wife, children and be better for yourself and the community. As a bonus, you'll be also filled with purpose, so better yourselves and run the race. Don't be driven by lust, pride, ego, anger, revenge, defeat porn, defeat weak and negative mind, be strong and courageous. Be a soldier of God. Don't be weak and wimp enough to fail your family, and everyone else. Don't let your weakness get you. A man of God is much much much more stronger than anyone who is just weak to their lust and succumbing to alcohol, drugs and adultery. Lift weights, run everyday, shut down strongholds of confusion and negative mind, fight wokeness, encourage the weak, help the needy, love and protect your children and wives, be like more Jesus, deny your fleshly wants as always, read the bible and pray everyday
I was a firefighter from 1982 to 1986 and have been a law enforcement officer from 1987 to the present. I have never felt comfortable in church and I think Kyle just explained why. I'm so happy that I'm not alone when it comes to church.
I encourage you to find a Bible believing church It's important for us to worship in a church. God didn't save us for ourselves alone. We are called the body of Christ. Every member is important and shouldn't be outside the body
The bible clearly states God hating evil things! Also, peter cut someones ear off in front of The Lord! Christ knew Peter had it and its pretty hard to conceal a sword from God. Christ told them to buy swords earlier too. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace." -Its important to remember Christ's followers are to be together and support one another.
Outstanding podcast, Mike and Kyle! Please never lose your faith and never stop doing what is right, no matter how bad evil men attack you. God Bless everyone who listens to this.
It’s our society for the most part. Guys are so soft because everything is easy.. work from home,order doordash,order groceries,inside all day.. and a complete lack of knowledge of how to provide food for yourself and how to protect yourself. Protect,provide.. the 2 basic principles of starting to be a man. Get. Off. The. Phone. Fellas. Get active outside. Go hunt. Go fight in a gym. No more porn. No more sleeping around. I’m not religious but use it if you have it. You got this fellas.
What is the problem fron working from home? I have more time with my wife and kids. I am much happier with my WFH schedule. We go places way more often now than when I was stuck at my worksite Mon-Fri. If you buy groceries via order online or going to the store. That is providing for your family. Thanks to my job, I was able to buy half a cow which will provide for my family. How about we push people to figure what works for them and their interests? Proper communication between partners and children?
You're right but not everything is about "muh maternal conditions"; we gotta take responsibility for destroying the nuclear family (which both liberal capitalism and socialism did OK, not just 1 or the other) for building up this consumerism based economy and for normalizing moral relativism.
@@ShiniGuraiJoker that’s great. I’m not really criticizing you. I’m criticizing what wfh usually cultivates. You hear what mike says about losing community and losing the ability to talk to each other? People staying in their houses more and more is causing this. I’m not saying it’s an absolute. I’m saying I’ve seen it over and over again that people tend to just stay stuck in their own home with this. You lose something by trying to make your life more efficient and ordering food and groceries online isolating yourself from people more. You missed those interactions by not going out. Socializing skills decrease. As we’ve learned since the internet has gotten bigger, talking online does not transfer to in person conversation. I think that’s abundantly clear with our general feeling in America. Kids go outside less. Everyone goes outside less. That results in what mike is talking about.. less masculine and weaker men. I really don’t think I’m wrong.. humans in general in America have kind of decreased in socialization and total outdoor time. I’m almost positive my social skills have decreased with all the automation. I would bet 90% of everyone else’s has too. The internet does absolutely have good in it but us humans are just lazy. 99% of us abuse it and use it for laziness. We also try to gain efficiency but don’t realize we lose something in the process.. the ability to communicate with each other like humans for 1000s of years have mostly done. This has birthed the toxic online thing you see now. Worse than ever. People depressed in mass and the new generation is statistically the most lonely. Millions of men severely weakened from being chronically online and refusing to go outside and workout.. or to just learn to be men by cultivating in real life experiences. I would say work from home people are interacting less,going outside less, and in general become a much more soft human being. Sensibilities are more fragile from it. Your completely safe in your home where nothing can get you and no one can challenge you. Sensibilities weakened.. why were our grandfathers so damn tough? Friction. Conflict. In general, more challenges cultivated them to have stronger resolves. Much more masculinity about them because of it and the physical labor they endured. I’m not saying they were perfect but we are a far cry from them in terms of toughness and masculinity. Sorry this is way to long of a thing to condense. I’m only just seeing people starting to talk about this. I’ve been internally freaking out about but people are so engrossed in their bubble online that they don’t want to talk about it being a problem. it’s not an attack on you I promise and it’s not just working from home. It’s everything that has to do with being online. But being a fire fighter, a soldier.. typically cultivates tougher more masculine men. Doing something physically and mentally tough in person. I’m not saying it can’t be done.. it just doesn’t typically cultivate it.
Wow really awesome going into these topics on your podcast. I love seeing the shift to talking about these very real, core issues. Shawn Ryan Show, Warrior Poet Society, Fieldcraft, everyone is really getting to the core of the problem now. This is great stuff.
I'm always striving to be a "Mighty Man of God"... a "Warrior Poet". I'm far from perfect, but I'm always striving to learn from the examples of those who the Bible identifies as "Mighty Men" or "Righteous Men". ...learning from both the good that they did, as well as the mistakes that they made.
Thanks to the host and guest for standing I'm the gap. Real MEN who love a REAL GOD. As an African American who grew up in the suburbs, Christianity and sports gave me a solid foundation to virtuous manhood. Got married at 25, and I've been wrestling with the institutions and perception of racism in society and the church. I've lived and worked by more ethnic groups via the military than most people, that not being surrounded by diversity feels odd. To add, orthodox Christianity cast a shadow on church history and the origins of diversity in regard to the lineage of Messiah. At times, it's difficult to embrace Christianity in American culture when one feels rejected by it.... Likewise, sometimes it feels like I don't fit in with this group or that group. Only the love of Christ can reconcile and redeem the hearts of men.
Mike a great movie to watch that is based on what youre talking about is 'Risen'. Of a Roman guard, a fighting man of leadership in the Roman legion at the time of Christ. He has authority, hes a badass warrior and the scene toward the end when he speaks to Jesus makes me tear up every time.
I get your point but it’s way over to the other side. It’s about the right attitude at the right time. Imagine Jesus having been all rough with the prostitutes he helped? There’s a time to be a warrior and a time to be a gardener. That’s what a man is
This podcast really hit home... I'm 35, never married, no kids. I've always believed in the lord, but definitely a heavy sinner and chose to not walk with Jesus. I've slept with loads of women. And honestly it's my biggest regret. I wish I could roll back the clock and would have pursued marriage years ago instead of chasing women for sexual conquest. It's disgusting and I hope you younger men don't fall into the trap of modern society. Be a godley man, build yourself, build a family.
EXCELLENT episode! I stumbled upon this video today and wow, I am subscribing. As a woman who seeks to be godly, wise and feminine, it's so encouraging to see men like you both talking about godly masculinity. Such good insight on the type of men we need in our world. Thank you so much!
awesome conversation! we definitely need to encourage more men to have a solid biblical foundation not only in marriage but in everyday life. The Bible is not for the weak, keep posting!!
LEARN TO BEND THE KNEE. You can be a man and still WORSHIP GOD and SUBMIT WHOLEY TO THE LORD. Singing songs of praise does. Not make you soft at all. Maybe of you feel that way you have some insecurities to workout
Revelation 3:15 “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.” Revelation 3:16 “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
How you described walking into church and not feeling like you can fit in, is exactly how I felt most of my chirstian life. It passed, I found the Catholic church works for me. But in collage, all the dudes were how you described, and it pushed me away from the church.
My wife and I homeschooling our kids through high school. We covered Latin, but used a Christian Worldview as the filter we ran everything through. I retired from the military, was the sole wage earner and in my off time, we hunted, fished, hiked, camped, taught my kids basic car maintenance, how to shoot, when to shoot. Looking at what government schools put out today, we thank God, we homeschooling our kids.
Married at 29: wife was 23. Two awesome kids and 24 years later still going strong. I agree iron sharpening iron a good thing. Do not be scared of public school and f you raise lions not sheep the world you should not fear but shape it instead.
Read the Bible
That’s it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 say no more.
Amen
Enough said brother
The damn Liberal goon squad are trying to demonize Mike!!!! Just saw a bunch of videos on Tiktok and X talking crap about Mike being a unholy American! FK The DEMOcrat goons targeting good Conservatives like MIKE!
It’s mad long, paws
Biblical masculinity is Jesus. 100%. He loved everyone but didn’t hold back in pointing out people’s sins. He healed the sick and afflicted, but confronted corruption.
Amen.
I got married to my wife at 18, I’m 20 years old now. My biggest goal is to be just like my dad. One of the most godly manly men I’ve ever had the honor to know and learn from.
Got big shoes to fill
Yo,I’m literally 18.This is extremely inspiring 🙏🔥🔥🔥
What a great blessing to have a father like that, I'm sure you will follow his footsteps!
good for you brother, pray for wisdom, don’t be stupid. much love man
I got married at 19 and am 26 now. 2 children and I’m more in love with my wife now than ever before. This has only been possible through our savior Jesus Christ and with the help of our church. Keep goin brotha! You’ve got this man!
My 2 cents here. Be like him in some ways but be your own man/ version of yourself.
I'm 29, just got my hunters safety.. Been out with a bow a few times, started shooting skeet on weekends, started Taekwondo a few months ago, started bushcraft/backpacking.. These are all things I never grew up doing, that I want to at least become semi-competent to teach my kid who will be born a month from now :D never too late to start, I'm a year sober and never felt better in my entire life! Oh, also got pretty good at baking bread.. smoking meat, and canning in the last couple months too. Christ is #1, Diet is #2.. Another thing that has been the primary focus of my life this past year, learning how to worship, pray, and serve Jesus.
Edit! My baby girl has been home for 2 weeks now! Shes healthy, smart, and makes me want to slam weights harder at the gym, getting strong to protect her :)
Update. Baby girl is 3months old, strong, chubby, and happy! I also went from 148lbs body weight to 175lbs! Been at the gym 4 days a week, Squat 250, Deadlift 250, bench 200... Let's go!!!!
Good for you man, congrats on your new chapter as a father. Don’t forget to get started on reading if you haven’t already!
This is the way.
Pass on this legacy
Absolutely, luckily I've always had my nose in books, books are invaluable. Recently built a book shelf and makes me happy seeing them on display@@lvrrylxrd232
That's the goal! I've made it my goal that my wife doesn't have to work, also we WILL be homeschooling our kids :)@@ianclark1674
I’m really glad to hear you guys speak about Godly things. All Glory & Honor to King Jesus✝️
Thanks John
Hail LORD Jesus Christ ❤
Amen, brother
@@AznboyzWangWang Christianity is blind obedience to a fictional, evil authoritarian figure. Might does not make right.
I'm so confused. Does it mean I'm not a man if I'm not assertive, dominant, aggressive. I can't fight at all. I don't know how to be tough. I'm soft and passive. I cry alot. No experience with women at all. I mean what woman would want to date a guy like me?
More faith based content 🙏🏽🫡
The damn Liberal goon squad are trying to demonize Mike!!!! Just saw a bunch of videos on Tiktok and X talking crap about Mike being a unholy American! FK The DEMOcrat goons targeting good Conservatives like MIKE!
Why are people using the term faith-based when they mean Christian?
@@papayama3678they try to make it politically correct lol
Faith....LMAO.... Faith is just believing what you hope is true despite evidence.... only an idiot would use faith to form a belief.
@@bipslone8880so you have made no plans for tomorrow? No plans for a family? No plans for retirement? Since only an idiot would use faith that he will be alive tomorrow to form a belief that he must prepare for the future.
Do not have kids until you have an intimate relationship with God.
I’ll say this is subjective. He has a different way of introducing himself to each individual. Having kids brought me to God. Holding my son on the day he was born completely changed me. I did a complete 180. I didn’t have a great father figure to model being a father off of. I only knew how I wouldn’t be as a father. I started reading books and seeking out good fathers. And then I was lead to the Bible - the ultimate guide to being a great father.
This is very accurate, I claimed to be saved but did Not live a Christ led life. However, since learning I’m having a son, it has really opened my eyes up to what I’ve done. Almost like it was His way of bringing me closer to Him since I didn’t have a father figure in my life.
The only thing missing from this podcast is grace. A real man forgives quickly and shows grace. A real man also embraces grace knowing they will never meet the standard set by God. We can try and try and we should try every day but the standard is Christ and we will never reach it. So the grace and mercy of Christ is an essential part of our gospel that I didn’t hear in this podcast.
Edit: I want to add to this a little bit to clarify some things for people. My point in commenting this was that it’s important to fully represent Christ if we are going to at all. We as believers don’t get to pick and choose what we believe or overemphasize the points that fit our lives and make us feel good. It’s easy to focus on a particular aspect of Christ and use it to justify our actions rather than changing our actions to reflect Him as completely as we can. We obviously won’t ever get there but that’s what it means to be sanctified, to become more like Christ. So while they highlighted an important piece of being a god fearing man they left out one of the most crucial pieces that is the center of our Gospel. If God had the attitude many of us do in these comments we’d be roasting for eternity. Graciousness and patience is every bit as manly as strength and righteous aggression. Our primary goal should always be to point people to Christ in everything we do whether it be protecting the innocent or showing mercy to those who don’t deserve it.
Um forgiving quickly is not always an indicator. If you slaughter my family and I instantly forgive you the next day, there is something either wrong with me or I am lying.
@@IffyEdem Grace is much more complex than forgiveness but yes I agree. That being said I didn’t hear him mention it AT ALL.
I can forgive, but I will never forget.
I can love my enemies, but only enough to tell them the truth.
I'm not a masculine man at all and I don't know how to be masculine. I'm not tough, assertive, dominant or aggressive. I need help. I don't know what else to do.
@@burtonjernigan1997 read the Bible first and foremost. Everything about being a GOOD man can be gone in scripture. You don’t need to be some crazy mountain man or quit your job if you work in an office. Love deeply and protect those you love fiercely. Aggression also does not equal masculinity. Controlled righteous aggression does. John Lovell is a great resource on biblical manhood. There is much more to being a good man than being “masculine” that’s a small part of it.
This is great and all, but read the Bible.
I’m a man’s man, God broke me. You have to repent and go to war with your sin first. The Bible is paramount. I am still a man’s man, completely reliant on Christ.
This. ⚔️🛡🙌🏻 ALL of this!! As a female, I know I'm not really the intended audience, but I felt like it gave me a deep insight for how to pray over the warrior man God has in mind for me while I'm likewise busy focusing on my own purpose & bettering myself too. And a prayer over my Godsons. Thank you for this. Powerful & timely for this war season.
I'm am nothing the men described in this video and it just makes me feel like God made a huge mistake by making me a male. I'm supposed to be a woman. I'm not masculine at all. I'm weak, not assertive, not aggressive and not dominant. I can't even fight.
@@burtonjernigan1997no, don’t think like that in this time of age.. you are a man, period. god made no mistakes making you. He makes no mistakes at all. Everyday you wake up is gods decision, that he needs you, he loves you, and he will NEVER forsake you. I want you to have more faith in him, pray to him about what bothers you, look into the other masculine traits that you have instead of the ones you don’t. Pray that he gives you the traits that you want. (You don’t need to learn how to fight, violence is unnecessary and childish 😉) I pray for you, and I love you. ❤
@@burtonjernigan1997 Please don't cut your dick off and believe in nonsense like being born in the wrong body. Everyone has their own way to achieve masculinity. I live in a 3rd world country in Asia, most of the manliest men I know don't look like bearded veterans that came home from deployment. They show their masculinity by being a damn good leader, provider and honest to god person. You don't have to be the stereotypical bearded aggressive 300lb bench pressing guy to be "a man". Also being assertive and standing up for yourself is a skill that can be learned.
@@burtonjernigan1997that’s a lie from the pit of hell God made you a biological man for a reason all these thoughts of negativity is not from God but stems from demons the devil and this rotting flesh , I pray over you in the name of Jesus that God will ignite a fire inside that you are a man !! In the name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏽
@@burtonjernigan1997who’s telling you that? Men and women can have opposite sex traits but that should be the bottom line. If you are a Christian, you know the devil loves to confuse
I'm 52 years old, first time I ever heard your podcast, God bless both you men... I wish I had your wisdom at that age. Your parents must be proud of you!! 👍🙏
Thanks man! You’re the age of my dad I’m 21 I love you.
My parents always told me they didn't care what everybody else was doing I wasn't doing it. And they told me if I wanted a car and license I had to have a job to pay for gas and insurance. They taught me if you want something you have to work to earn it, don't depend on someone else to support you. It wasn't the most fun as a child but I'm thankful today!!
It's honestly for your best, it teaches you a valuable lessons.( even if your parents motivation to do so came from selfishness) But are you a christian? Because i struggle immensely on trusting someone else for anything and you can't live the Christian life that way.
Real men read and are lead by the Bible 🤍
I am a Christian, Conservative, color woman. 💛🦅✨
I truly enjoyed this Godly grownup conversation. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Keep on keeping on 🔥🔥🔥
Imagine Mike had a 1/2 hour weekly Bible study !!
That would be awesome. I'd love it if men like this would do a Bible study and relate The Word with what it is to be a man.
If not its own thing I'd love for him to open his podcasts with biblical messages of strength, perseverance, and the like
I'm sure God guided me to this video. Cuz I'm not a typical looking Christian and I'm nowhere near perfect I'm pretty bad but I'm loving how this guy doesn't sissyfy Jesus :)
BEEN PRAYING FOR MIKE THAT JESUS WOULD ARREST HIS HEART COMPLETELY!!! MIKE IS ALREADY AN AMAZING MAN BUT WITH JESUS!!!! HOLY SMOKES..LOL IM IN LOVE!!!...LOL
Verse by verse would be amazing
Wow I’m 19 years old I can’t even explain how this made me feel better about keeping my virginity. Sometimes I get these thoughts that I’m doing something wrong saving myself. Thank Jesus I came across this video💯
Keep it bro‼️ my biggest regret ever was losing it
Hey homey. I’m 36. If I could go back and save myself for marriage, with somebody who also saved themselves for marriage, I would. Stay strong.
That is very respectable coming from a guy, it’s so precious and shouldn’t just be given to anyone. Just like you wouldn’t want your wife to throw herself around, expect the same from yourself, your going the right way!❤
Keep going young brother i was fool and let those around me influence me, keep your virginity. Read the word of God, pray and praise! Train fitness and martial arts, and you will do well!
Hold on to that virginity kid! Trust me but most importantly trust Gods initial and ultimate plan for that desire.
I grew a whole new respect for you Mr. Glover as a 21 year old man in this weak ass generation who does his best to follow Jesus Christ and study preparedness, I love that a man of your caliber is having this conversation. I do hope this reaches others in my generation as well as many others because there are a bunch of pussies who allow the mistreatment from our government and stand by while believing that false God's will save them however I also try to spread word in the sense of Biblical masculinity and world knowledge to get ready for WW3 and the second coming now I have reached a small amount of people compared to you but I stand with you and you got a soldier right here ready to learn and fight from Texas stay strong and we support you brother ✊️
All the young men from 15-20 👇👇
Jesus Christ IS the prototype. Be like him and you'll be fine.
Walk with Him and you will become like Him♥️
I can't believe i listened to all of this and they never said read the bible. I love you guys but get it together.
Really there speaking on biblical masculinity on connecting with god So your negativity toward this is not needed of course that's my own personal opinion. So often religious people are so judgmental. I am not saying by no means that a man does not need to read the Bible but this is not about reading the Bible as Glover said pick up on what there putting down instead of trying to put them down. So not cool at all.
In the Bible God doesn’t argue about His existence either. It’s obvious as a Godly man your foundation is Gods word. I believe he is striving to explain his view on what makes a strong Godly man who can lead, provide, protect, and build Gods kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven and that starts with a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
They can't tell you what you want to hear, but what they think you need to hear. There's a difference
Excellent comment. Amen brother. A Christian man needs to regularly and often read The Word or listening to it.
So what you are saying is that man could teach us to be real men, and not the Bible. @@realdeal1512
My father passed away very suddenly when I was 12 and left a huge gap in my life regarding masculinity. I had to learn from other men around me and at 43 I’m still on that journey. But I’m teaching my sons the things I’ve learned so they don’t miss out. I’m thankful to the Christian men who discipled me and taught me how to be resilient and also compassionate. And also, amazing conversation!
All the way sir
Man I felt this comment so hard brotha. May the Lord our God, the one and only God, the God who sacrificed his only son Jesus Christ for all of us, the God who with his own hands made you and me, may he bless you.
AMEN!@@spencerdonaldson6023
My dad passed away when I was 23 and had 4 mouths to feed. I was not ready and did not have anyone guide me or help me. So I am 35 now and still learning what it is to be a man in gods eyes and for myself that it is not toxic or demeaning to myself and people around me. It’s been a rough journey and felt bad at some point because I felt behind tremendously. Now I am making up for it at my own pace and learning. Still to this day wish I had a real man driven by god to teach me and guide me. I don’t trust a lot of these RUclipsrs to be honest. For now the Bible and the lord is my guide. 🙏🏼
@@juanmaldonado2096 I hear you man. I'm reminded of these verses from Psalm 68... 5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
6 God sets the lonely in families,[a]
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
I respect this show and the dude was straight forward
Thank you, guys. I'm so down right now. I needed to hear this today.
This entire podcast resonated so deep in my soul I can't explain it. And I was in need of a reminder, of someone to have the right words to say "man, you got to put in the work for things to work out. Stop buying into the social bullshit and be a man, go to work, work out, study, read and conect with god, remember who you are and why you are here and get after it".
BTW, I feel like this podcast should be repeaded but inviting John Lovel to the show, it would make for 3 hours of deep conversations with so much meanning...
@@69sound81I second that!!!! I’m there for this whole idea!!!!
Amen 🙏
It’s funny. I have been wrestling with this for the last year, wishing Christians weren’t always so weak, and how we lost the other side of the coin to what Jesus was, this made my day and week and year, thank you for all the good work your doing
Don't hesitate to check out Catholicism (mostly Eastern Catholics) and Eastern Orthodoxy.... they're polar opposite of the wimpy American Protestant Churches.
The Orthodox Church is what you are looking for, Brother.
@@tylerwynn1646 I don’t want all the different sides of religion to push me to their side. I want the truth of what Jesus was. The objective truth, not subjective. To be what we all spread and deeply come to understand.
@@Juttargoe I tell you this because orthodoxy is the true ancient church from over 2 thousand years ago. It stands unchanged. Just look into it and you can decide for yourself. I understand what you’re saying though, I went through that too. It’s very irritating.
@@tylerwynn1646 my bad didn’t mean to come off like a a hole. I appreciate it- I’m gonna check it out now lol thanks for showing a helping hand. I just don’t understand how as Christian’s in the west we have drifted so far off course
I grew up in an atheistic household and most of my family are atheists. I found Christ on my own in my 20's especially after my first daughter was born. I found Christ and wasn't even looking or trying.
He was searching for you 🙌
To be called out from the dead is an amazing testimony! He has a select purpose for you here on earth bröther
Well said Kyle. To borrow from a fellow believer, it’s the warrior poet model. This world desperately needs this now.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
@@bipslone8880that’s why we don’t preach religion. But relationship with Christ. I urge you to look at “Man on the middle Cross” by Alistair Begg. 3 minute video. Summary…. We make it to heaven not because of me or I….. but because of Him, Jesus Christ
God bless you.
We need to hear more men speaking about true masculinity you both look tough enough to handle major issues so that’s refreshing God bless you both
God is doing a work in Mike Glover 🙏🏽 all praises to the Most High, our Lord and King, Jesus the Messiah!
Man oh man. This interview was awesome. Was anybody else sharpened (Prov 27:17) by this podcast?
There’s only light or darkness. Choose light.
Wise man
Light = Jesus. Any other light is deceit
Sleep with light on
"Jesus comes back with his sword in his mouth, his robe dipped in blood and a tattoo on his leg." That tattoo says KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Yeah....THAT'S my JESUS.
I grew up Atheist, mom & grandparents are Catholic. The older I get, the more I find myself looking to religion for guidance on how to think about things, not having a dad around I’ve learned allot of things later in life..
God (Jesus) is for you. Not against you. ✝️
Don’t be deterred by the modernist filth we’re seeing in public Catholicism today. It’s a smoke screen. Dedicate time daily to prayer.
Don't look to religion. Look to Christ.
Accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, as one who did, I never regretted it, and no one who truly did. I hope you also do that.
Stay out of religion and pursue faith... i used to think people were nuts when they said it's a personal relationship with God and while i kinda believed how the Bible could be true, i asked myself how do you have a relationship with character in a book...😂 how little did i know...
I'm a 32-year-old woman, and I'm SO happy to hear this conversation. I'm praying for a Christian man exactly as you're describing here to come into my life on God's terms. Thanks for the conversation, I appreciate you both.
You need to get what you can get at your age. Women's chances of deciding what type of man they want slim down as you age
Just remember God gives you what you need. Don't pile a lot of requirements on the list. God may send you a man you have to help to the right place to become more. But never settle. Wanting a Godly man is a fair ask... But keep faith.
Mike you are one of the guys I really look fwd to listing to. I'd like to see you on other free speech platforms. R.....
Keep it up. Look up to you. TY for sharing with us civilians. Never know. Could have each other's backs one day being fellow Americans.
A man is a natural leader, especially within his house hold & family. A man must be brave in the face of evil & danger. A man would sacrifice himself to save a life of his family. You give a man unconditional loyalty, he’s yours forever.
This is what I need help with because I'm not masculine at all. I can't fight. I don't know how to lead, provide and protect. I'm not assertive, dominant or aggressive. I'm very feminine. I think God intended to make me a woman but never did.
@burtonjernigan1997 hi, I believe you made a similar comment elsewhere, I saw that someone replied to you that being a good man - biblically- is more than just being "masculine" or "assertive" or whatever.
I just wanted to know if you saw that reply and if it helped you see things from a different perspective.
And of course, our most accurate source of what God wants us to be is the Bible.
I encourage you to read the letters of Paul. Paul's letters are essential for any believer male or female.
Thank you and have a great day!
@burtonjernigan1997 adding to the previous reply, the book of Proverbs is also a good place to start, Psalms too
Sometimes it's the things nobody notices like making sure your kids aren't hungry for 2nds before you do, eating the bruised parts of bananas or cold scrapes from your kids plates and treating their mother well and pulling her weight while she is injured or ill (dishes, laundry, cleaning)
Sometimes being a manly father is simpler then being Rambo. Not to be misunderstood, I completely agree with most of the points they bring up.
Funny I found this podcast after randomly listening to the Bible early
There are no coincidences when it comes to God.
I actually never heard of this podcast I was going to click on PBD interviewing Tristan Tate this caught my eye and I’m so glad I watched it thank you for this new subscriber!
Read the Bible - Hebrews 11 is the chapter of faith - Packed full of warriors! In my large Ranger Ruck (Served as an Army SF guy for 21 yrs 21 days) was always packed a Gideon Bible. My body is broke - bad knees, back, neck, feet, but I still do what I can do. No longer can I hump a large Alice pack but I still can hump a Mysteryranch Bridger 35!
Christ is king
Amen
Biblical wisdom! This is the message that the world needs right now.
I've been screwed over by people I once called friend. So now I'm a loner with trust issues.
My kids want to watch TV all the time and play video games. I do my best to limit their timing doing these things. They don't like it because they want to half ass their way thru life even though I'm not the type of person to half ass anything.
So it's a struggle being the backbone of my household but I stand strong so maybe one day my children will see the man they want to be.
Dude just brought others like me wanting to read the Bible even more now haha good stuff
Single Dad here, my son lives with me full time. I get no help. I am a blue collar construction worker. My son is very intelligent and I have him in a highly respectable private Christian school. He is my only child. If I had 2 or more children I could not afford it. Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me I only have 1 child, but he will not be indoctrinated by these scumbags in public education. Besides that, he is also receiving a first rate education. The kind I did not receive. His schooling is a sure enough sacrifice, but I manage, thanks to God’s grace. How unfortunate we can no longer send our children to public schools because of the situation we find ourselves in…And I still live in a conservative state. Whatever it takes…Great conversation here, men. Thanks.
Good stuff, Papa. Keep it up. Your boy will appreciate it all someday
This man is a blessing. He’s led me to push back darkness and become a better father, husband, and teacher. Now I’m practicing BJJ because of him and I’m hitting the gym repeatedly because my family deserves the best of me. Thanks, Kyle.
I'm about 15 minutes in and loving this conversation. I'm 40 and discovering the same things. I'm a pastor and John Eldredge's books have been speaking to me recently about what it means to be a man and a Christian. I'm in a doctoral program working on a thesis and thinking about how I can focus on men's ministry.
I recommend checking out Richard D. Phillips book, Masculine Mandate. You'll have to determine whether Adam was created to live in the wilderness or created to rule and subdue the wilderness. I happen to think John Eldredge is applying the world's definition of a man onto Scripture.
I also recommend Masculine Mandate, it builds a picture based on Scripture.
@mklite I agree. Wild at Heart is running rampant in my church. It's heart breaking.
@@twowheelventure If you see a theological problem running rampant, it's an opportunity to fight for biblical truth. We, as men, are called to raise our voice and act when needed. It's okay to be disagreeable with the groupthink. You should first raise the issue with your pastor/elders as they have been given authority to shepherd the flock.
@@mklite Yes sir. I have spoken up. It's not officially sponsored by the church. It's spreading in our small groups. I continue in prayer for boldness and discernment.
Few find the narrow path…
This was a great podcast Mike and Kyle! It was uplifting and challenging. Made me set some new goals and realize I have been letting some things slip. God bless y’all and your families
Young men all around the world need to sit around and listen to conversations just like this one .. conversations just like this is what helps turn young boys into respectable men … i grew up in east Tn amongst a bunch of drunks who didnt work and had absolutely nothing to offer … God seen fit for me to realize thats not the adult i wanted to be … thank God i never became a alchaholic and always worked at something wether i was paid or not . When i was a young boy all i wanted to be was a Man !!!! Then later on i realized i wanted to h be a good man a working man then when i got wise ..a Christian man .
I don't feel like a man at all and I think about hurting myself all the time. I'm weak, cowardly, not assertive, dominant or aggressive. I can't fight. I'm very emotional and passive. I think I'm gay also. I can't see any woman finding me attractive.
This is the first time I heard of Kyle Thomson. John Lovell with WPS (Warrior Poet Society) also a great choice for being a man warrior and poet in today's world. Thanks Mike for having Kyle. PTL Jesus!
John is also a pastor at a church and has a channel on here called Grace City Rome.
ruclips.net/video/w8ARTfmAuXI/видео.htmlsi=qmfcPxbb3Fg2pwFj
Came here looking for the John Lovell/WPS recommendation. Idk if Mike and John have done a colab, but they should.
Lovell is great and all, but his blind support for Israel and Zionism (current Israel government) is cause for concern.
Check out Eddie Penny also, great guy. He did an awesome interview with Shawn Ryan. Chadd Wright is another one. Bill Rapier is a righteous team 6 guy.... many godly warriors out there.
@@jayraymond9707.. Is he blind, or does he see something you don't?
This isn't the time and context for that discussion. Maybe go have it with John.
As the oldest of Two brothers that past. I miss have real guys by my side. I appreciate the show brother. 🇺🇸 🙏
This topic is the life of my life. I walked away from the American Church and cling to Jesus deeper to teach me to be a man. I live in the wild. I love the wild. It is my home and Christ is my keeper.
Our world needs more of this thanks Mike.
Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions

The only time the word binary should be brought up is when we are talking about AR triggers
Only half way in the video. This is awesome and good to hear I’m not crazy with some of the ways I’ve been preparing my kids. Having a teenage girl in public school constantly getting pulled this/that way is 100% a struggle. We talk out a lot of struggles though and most of the time she sees things from our perspective, thank you Lord!
I am in my 40s been through a lot of evil forces in my life. I have had a rough time lost my faith at one point, but I have experienced legitimate Devine intervention. Now I am trying to work on myself and my flaws and mental illness. I am reading books listening to audiobooks as well as RUclips and podcasts such as this. It is a good breath of fresh air to see regaurdless of where our majority of the people these days. Often times people are scared to speak on topics that have been forgot about or just issues related to ones faith. People seem to hide it or are scared to talk publicly about now like Christianity etc. content like this is stuff I’m into to try and learn more about myself how to live with my mental issues and be a better version of myself for my family. Great topic guys!!! Thank you!!
Man created God in his image : intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent.
It’s funny bc majority of what guys were talking about , I match that very description. Literally scrolling around on RUclips at 5am mentally asking God for direction and your reel popped up. Did not feel like an hour podcast. I was locked in . Thanks so much I’m definitely subscribing for more.
Ive never heard a Christian speak this openly abt the harsh realities of being human. And of course the amazing opportunities we have as humans. Thanks boys.
This didn’t age well
As a 26 year old involved in the church as a musician and occasionally as a preacher, I’ve seen the dichotomy first hand.
I was recently asked to speak at a men’s conference and I heavily touched topics about fatherhood, accountability, being protectors and providers, and when I tell you I was getting dead fish eyes from the vast majority of the audience.
Maybe I’m too young to earn the attention and respect of others on these topics, but I don’t think the church has a done a great job even telling men they should care about these things.
Let’s keep fighting for it to get better though 🙏🏽 you’ve got a new fan Kyle!
I hear you man. It’s not just your church it’s around the country dude. And your calling is to keep pushing through that sleeping church and build your ministry. These are experiences that you have to be exposed to.
It's crazy though..sometimes you have to leave an apostate church and find a real Jesus centered biblical church.
I just found this channel by the videos headline. Just subscribed as well. This content is SO refreshing and very much needed. Thank you for this.
This is an important episode for every man with children to listen to. My son's boyscout meeting was virtual last night. The topic of discussion was online safety. i was upset to see that I was the only adult that was on screen with my child, Paying attention to the content. Every parent needs to know how to access any messaging through their child's phone including game chat. There's no such thing as being too invasive in your child's life. It's up to you to protect them
Be Based Bros😎😁
The way to make it, is to love God with all your hearts, accept Him as your Lord and Savior, and then you'll be able to love your families, your wife, children and be better for yourself and the community. As a bonus, you'll be also filled with purpose, so better yourselves and run the race.
Don't be driven by lust, pride, ego, anger, revenge, defeat porn, defeat weak and negative mind, be strong and courageous.
Be a soldier of God.
Don't be weak and wimp enough to fail your family, and everyone else. Don't let your weakness get you.
A man of God is much much much more stronger than anyone who is just weak to their lust and succumbing to alcohol, drugs and adultery.
Lift weights, run everyday, shut down strongholds of confusion and negative mind, fight wokeness, encourage the weak, help the needy, love and protect your children and wives, be like more Jesus, deny your fleshly wants as always, read the bible and pray everyday
I was a firefighter from 1982 to 1986 and have been a law enforcement officer from 1987 to the present. I have never felt comfortable in church and I think Kyle just explained why. I'm so happy that I'm not alone when it comes to church.
Check out Eastern Catholic or Eastern Orthodox Churches.... they're the polar opposite of wimpy American Protestant Churches.
Yeah, it's hard to find a church that isn't a Zionist church.
I encourage you to find a Bible believing church
It's important for us to worship in a church. God didn't save us for ourselves alone.
We are called the body of Christ. Every member is important and shouldn't be outside the body
People at church always felt disingenuous and surface level to me.
Can I ask what type of Church you attended?@@Jiraiyashouse666
The bible clearly states God hating evil things! Also, peter cut someones ear off in front of The Lord! Christ knew Peter had it and its pretty hard to conceal a sword from God. Christ told them to buy swords earlier too.
"There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace."
-Its important to remember Christ's followers are to be together and support one another.
Outstanding podcast, Mike and Kyle! Please never lose your faith and never stop doing what is right, no matter how bad evil men attack you. God Bless everyone who listens to this.
How do I not know this dude???? PREACH KYLE PREACH!!!
It’s our society for the most part. Guys are so soft because everything is easy.. work from home,order doordash,order groceries,inside all day.. and a complete lack of knowledge of how to provide food for yourself and how to protect yourself.
Protect,provide.. the 2 basic principles of starting to be a man. Get. Off. The. Phone. Fellas. Get active outside. Go hunt. Go fight in a gym. No more porn. No more sleeping around. I’m not religious but use it if you have it. You got this fellas.
I am religious and agree with this message
What is the problem fron working from home? I have more time with my wife and kids. I am much happier with my WFH schedule. We go places way more often now than when I was stuck at my worksite Mon-Fri.
If you buy groceries via order online or going to the store. That is providing for your family. Thanks to my job, I was able to buy half a cow which will provide for my family.
How about we push people to figure what works for them and their interests? Proper communication between partners and children?
You're right but not everything is about "muh maternal conditions"; we gotta take responsibility for destroying the nuclear family (which both liberal capitalism and socialism did OK, not just 1 or the other) for building up this consumerism based economy and for normalizing moral relativism.
@@ShiniGuraiJoker that’s great. I’m not really criticizing you. I’m criticizing what wfh usually cultivates. You hear what mike says about losing community and losing the ability to talk to each other? People staying in their houses more and more is causing this. I’m not saying it’s an absolute. I’m saying I’ve seen it over and over again that people tend to just stay stuck in their own home with this. You lose something by trying to make your life more efficient and ordering food and groceries online isolating yourself from people more. You missed those interactions by not going out. Socializing skills decrease. As we’ve learned since the internet has gotten bigger, talking online does not transfer to in person conversation. I think that’s abundantly clear with our general feeling in America. Kids go outside less. Everyone goes outside less. That results in what mike is talking about.. less masculine and weaker men. I really don’t think I’m wrong.. humans in general in America have kind of decreased in socialization and total outdoor time. I’m almost positive my social skills have decreased with all the automation. I would bet 90% of everyone else’s has too. The internet does absolutely have good in it but us humans are just lazy. 99% of us abuse it and use it for laziness. We also try to gain efficiency but don’t realize we lose something in the process.. the ability to communicate with each other like humans for 1000s of years have mostly done. This has birthed the toxic online thing you see now. Worse than ever. People depressed in mass and the new generation is statistically the most lonely. Millions of men severely weakened from being chronically online and refusing to go outside and workout.. or to just learn to be men by cultivating in real life experiences. I would say work from home people are interacting less,going outside less, and in general become a much more soft human being. Sensibilities are more fragile from it. Your completely safe in your home where nothing can get you and no one can challenge you. Sensibilities weakened.. why were our grandfathers so damn tough? Friction. Conflict. In general, more challenges cultivated them to have stronger resolves. Much more masculinity about them because of it and the physical labor they endured. I’m not saying they were perfect but we are a far cry from them in terms of toughness and masculinity.
Sorry this is way to long of a thing to condense. I’m only just seeing people starting to talk about this. I’ve been internally freaking out about but people are so engrossed in their bubble online that they don’t want to talk about it being a problem. it’s not an attack on you I promise and it’s not just working from home. It’s everything that has to do with being online. But being a fire fighter, a soldier.. typically cultivates tougher more masculine men. Doing something physically and mentally tough in person. I’m not saying it can’t be done.. it just doesn’t typically cultivate it.
Wow really awesome going into these topics on your podcast. I love seeing the shift to talking about these very real, core issues. Shawn Ryan Show, Warrior Poet Society, Fieldcraft, everyone is really getting to the core of the problem now. This is great stuff.
I'm always striving to be a "Mighty Man of God"... a "Warrior Poet". I'm far from perfect, but I'm always striving to learn from the examples of those who the Bible identifies as "Mighty Men" or "Righteous Men". ...learning from both the good that they did, as well as the mistakes that they made.
There is no god. Good luck with the cult
I need something like this but for a woman trying to become a good wife and mother.
1. Origin
2. Meaning
3. Morality
4. Destiny
Good points!
Thanks to the host and guest for standing I'm the gap. Real MEN who love a REAL GOD.
As an African American who grew up in the suburbs, Christianity and sports gave me a solid foundation to virtuous manhood.
Got married at 25, and I've been wrestling with the institutions and perception of racism in society and the church. I've lived and worked by more ethnic groups via the military than most people, that not being surrounded by diversity feels odd.
To add, orthodox Christianity cast a shadow on church history and the origins of diversity in regard to the lineage of Messiah. At times, it's difficult to embrace Christianity in American culture when one feels rejected by it....
Likewise, sometimes it feels like I don't fit in with this group or that group.
Only the love of Christ can reconcile and redeem the hearts of men.
Mike a great movie to watch that is based on what youre talking about is 'Risen'. Of a Roman guard, a fighting man of leadership in the Roman legion at the time of Christ. He has authority, hes a badass warrior and the scene toward the end when he speaks to Jesus makes me tear up every time.
I get your point but it’s way over to the other side. It’s about the right attitude at the right time. Imagine Jesus having been all rough with the prostitutes he helped? There’s a time to be a warrior and a time to be a gardener. That’s what a man is
This podcast really hit home... I'm 35, never married, no kids. I've always believed in the lord, but definitely a heavy sinner and chose to not walk with Jesus. I've slept with loads of women. And honestly it's my biggest regret. I wish I could roll back the clock and would have pursued marriage years ago instead of chasing women for sexual conquest. It's disgusting and I hope you younger men don't fall into the trap of modern society. Be a godley man, build yourself, build a family.
EXCELLENT episode! I stumbled upon this video today and wow, I am subscribing. As a woman who seeks to be godly, wise and feminine, it's so encouraging to see men like you both talking about godly masculinity. Such good insight on the type of men we need in our world. Thank you so much!
Phenomenal podcast/ we’re trying to do the same thing. Teaching prepping sustainable living on a homestead as a family and man
Great conversation, guys.
Having a broken nose or cauliflower ear doesn't make you tough or a man.
This might be the most important one hour long dialog on RUclips. Thank you to both of you for this.
Mike! Where did you get that hat!? Lol
Awesome podcast. Shared it with the boys 💪
awesome conversation! we definitely need to encourage more men to have a solid biblical foundation not only in marriage but in everyday life. The Bible is not for the weak, keep posting!!
Fantastic!
Don't be surprised when you send your kids to Caesar and they come back Romans.
Great conversion sir.
Good on you for putting it out.
LEARN TO BEND THE KNEE.
You can be a man and still WORSHIP GOD and SUBMIT WHOLEY TO THE LORD.
Singing songs of praise does. Not make you soft at all. Maybe of you feel that way you have some insecurities to workout
More thumbs up fellas!
Revelation 3:15
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.” Revelation 3:16
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
How you described walking into church and not feeling like you can fit in, is exactly how I felt most of my chirstian life. It passed, I found the Catholic church works for me. But in collage, all the dudes were how you described, and it pushed me away from the church.
My wife and I homeschooling our kids through high school. We covered Latin, but used a Christian Worldview as the filter we ran everything through. I retired from the military, was the sole wage earner and in my off time, we hunted, fished, hiked, camped, taught my kids basic car maintenance, how to shoot, when to shoot. Looking at what government schools put out today, we thank God, we homeschooling our kids.
That's great a kind of life that I would love to have with my family.
Such a great message. Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏🏽
Married at 29: wife was 23. Two awesome kids and 24 years later still going strong. I agree iron sharpening iron a good thing. Do not be scared of public school and f you raise lions not sheep the world you should not fear but shape it instead.
Currently struggling. Needed to hear this. Thank you.
Grow in love & strength 💪🤟
Phenomenal podcast!!! Jesus saves!!! Do the possible and God will do the impossible!!!!
