True Man Podcast

True Man Podcast

The True Man Podcast dares to explore the daily challenges facing men. We are all broken, all searching, and all looking for more of something in our lives. The True Man Podcast is an invitation to radical reconstruction of a man’s masculine heart and soul, and a place of safe community where we dare to ask questions deep-seated in a man.

In a culture that confuses love with comfort, many fathers are avoiding the very thing that builds strength, discipline. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I break down how biblical discipline, clear standards, and consistent leadership shape children into men and women of character, resilience, and faith. #truemanpodcast

 Real conversation is disappearing in our culture, and with it the ability to listen, think, and seek wisdom. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore how fathers can reclaim the lost art of conversation by asking better questions, modeling thoughtful dialogue, and teaching their families how to think, one dinner table conversation at a time.

 If we want to rebuild culture, it doesn’t start in Washington D.C., it starts at our dinner tables. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I challenge fathers to lead their homes with presence, intentional conversation, and lived-out faith, rebuilding the family one meal, one prayer, and one steady decision at a time from our kitchen tables.  #truemanpodcast

 In a culture where division is loud and common sense feels rare, how does a man stand firm in his convictions without becoming part of the chaos? In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore returning to God, Family, and Country, addressing crime, borders, affordability, and the loss of decency, while challenging men to lead with courage, composure, and Biblical wisdom.

After seeking God for wisdom, every man eventually faces the moment when a decision must be made without guarantees.

When life changes unexpectedly and the future feels uncertain, a man must decide whether to panic or seek God first. In this episode of the True Man Podcast, I explore how real strength is found not in having answers, but in trusting God’s wisdom when the path isn’t clear. #truemanpodcast

In a world that rewards loud opinions and fake certainty, today’s episode challenges the belief that strength means having all the answers. I explore why the words “I don’t know” may be the most powerful, honest, and faith-filled statement a man can make, and how humility opens the door to wisdom, clarity, and true leadership. #truemanpodcast

In this episode, I explore how adopting a daily "Giving Thanks" mindset can deepen our faith, strengthen our relationships,...

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.
