PODCAST

GreatMan Podcast

Manhood is not merely a product of biology, but rather the result of maturing, learning, and experience. While being born male is a matter of genetics, becoming a man is a matter of choice. The GreatMan Podcast is here to equip men to make that choice by uniquely combining three diverse perspectives, blending academic insight with practical guidance to help men build greatness in every area of life.

Big Calm

GreatMan Podcast ·

2019/11/05

Think of the supercharged world we live in: hyper, nervous, and loud. One of the great gifts a righteous man gives to his friends, family, and world is the power of Big Calm. A man has Big Calm when there is peace in his soul, even in the midst of crisis. He may not know exactly what to do. He may even know there’s a certain amount of danger. But he’s calm and settled. He ponders carefully and radiates his calm into the immediate situation around him. John Wooden had this characteristic. If you have

Stupid About Alcohol

GreatMan Podcast ·

2019/10/29

Why, in today’s men’s movement, is the attitude around alcohol akin to passing a bottle back-and-forth behind the high school gym? Guys, what’s with the centrality of alcohol? The obsession? In this episode, Stephen talks about his own relationship with alcohol – no, he’s not a teetotaler – as well as what he has observed in his travels.

Essential Closure

GreatMan Podcast ·

2019/10/22

Men tend to think in terms of “moving on.” (Get past it, keep some distance, shut it down.) In some sense, “moving on” can be good. The mature man, however, moves on only after saying what needed to be said and doing what needed to be done. Though he can’t make everything right, the mature man brings all negative relationships to the best closure within his ability. Just as your phone’s battery is drained by open, unused apps, your soul can be drained by holding onto unclosed relationships. Here’s

A Secret Life of Good

GreatMan Podcast ·

2019/09/10

You should have a secret life… a secret life of good. If you have read Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men you will remember the Latin word integras, from which we get our English word “integrity.” A soldier with integras would clink his armor with his sword. The commander would hear that nothing was loose; everything was correctly positioned. The soldier had integras. Integrity is wholeness, solidness, connectedness. Do good and noble things for others in secret, without telling anyone else, and you will

Men are made for adventure. Yet so many guys are “over-domesticated.” You know how it goes: gradually, the pressures and duties of daily life begin to take over. We spend our time taking care of our homes, families, cars, and careers, while we neglect attending to our inner zeal and passion. Men, you need to have regular activities in your life that force excitement and adventure upon you.

God and Manhood

GreatMan Podcast ·

2019/07/02

Posit this with us: If there is a God and if He created you, then He created you as a man. Of course, we all sustain wounds and deformities that pierce the soul and heart, keeping us from becoming the men we are meant to be. But, again, if there is a God and if He made you, then He desires for you to fulfill your destiny of becoming a great man. In this episode, Stephen offers encouragement and truth: God can restore you to what you were made to be before the grief, wounds, and hurt. Ask Him to
