  1. When Prey Become the Predator: It's Time For Men To Fight Back

    When Prey Become the Predator: It's Time For Men To Fight Back

    At a recent men’s retreat in southern Indiana, something powerful happened. Men from every walk of life—veterans carrying PTSD, men recovering from addiction, pastors, steel workers, fathers walking through divorce, and men battling shame—gathered together with one goal: freedom. During the retreat we confronted the lies that quietly destroy men’s lives. We talked about identity in Christ, the Five Phases of the Warrior, and the spiritual battle that takes place in the mind. We exposed the Big Five Mankillers—lack of purpose, lack of respect, anger, lust, and shame—and the powerful weapon the enemy uses to keep men silent and stuck: fear. But this episode isn’t just about a retreat. It’s about the moment when men decide they are done living defeated. At the end of the weekend, every man stood with an imaginary sword raised in his hand and drew a line in the dirt—a line representing the moment he chose to stop letting the enemy cross into his life, his marriage, and his family. What happened next was unforgettable. It wasn’t one man stepping forward at a time. It was an army stepping forward together. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 that the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. But when those men crossed that line, the enemy didn’t find prey. He found warriors. Men who had rediscovered their identity in Christ. Men who had learned how to declaw the lies of the enemy. Men who had decided it was time to fight back. This episode is a call to every man listening: You were not created to live defeated. You were created to live unleashed.

  2. The War Beneath The War

    The War Beneath The War

    The War Beneath the War The war on the news isn’t the one destroying most homes. While headlines scream of war, conflict, division, and uncertainty, the real battle is quieter, often hidden, and far more personal. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12), but against spiritual forces that seek to divide marriages, families, and identity. In this powerful episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson and Kevin Huff unpack The War Beneath the War — the unseen spiritual warfare targeting marriages, masculinity, leadership, and a man’s sense of worth and value. This isn’t about red vs. blue. It’s about light vs. darkness. The enemy’s strategy is division — dividing husbands from wives, parents from children, and men from their God-given identity. If he wins the war inside the home, he never has to win the war outside of it. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the most dangerous battles are the ones no one seesHow misplaced identity quietly erodes marriagesWhy chasing respect can cost you peaceHow to recognize the real enemyHow to fight the right war — with truth, grace, courage, compassion, and empathyThis episode will challenge you to look beyond what’s visible… and lead where it matters most. Because the greatest battles are rarely visible. If you are a husband, father, pastor, or leader, this conversation will strengthen your foundation and clarify your focus.

    If You Bury It...You Carry It

    In this powerful episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson shares two real stories that expose a hard truth every man must face: if you bury it, you carry it. One man openly shared his childhood sexual abuse and how bringing shame into the light saved his marriage. Another man buried resentment, anger, and lust, and ultimately lost his. What was the difference? Exposure versus secrecy. Trust versus control. Freedom versus fear. In this episode you’ll learn: • Why secrecy fuels addiction and resentment • How fear keeps men silent • The difference between control and healthy boundaries • Why guilt and shame destroy trust • How confession breaks the enemy’s hold • Why vulnerability is a pathway to freedom in Christ The enemy wants you isolated and hiding. Jesus calls you into the light. If you bury anger, you carry resentment. If you bury lust, you carry shame. If you bury fear, you carry insecurity. But when you expose what you’ve been hiding, you stop carrying it alone. This episode will challenge you to confront what you’ve buried, draw healthy boundaries around yourself, and walk in the identity and freedom God designed for you.

From leading men’s retreats in the Idaho wilderness… to hitting rock bottom in his own life… to walking through a decade of intense discipleship that reshaped everything — Brent shares what sparked his personal awakening and why this new book matters so much.

    It's Time To Crank It Up

    February can leave men stuck in neutral—cold weather, low motivation, and “nothing going on” can quietly turn into spiritual and emotional hibernation. In this episode of Unleashed, Brent Henderson shares a powerful conversation with world-champion whitetail hunter Kyle Burch, a brown bear story from Alaska’s Russian River, and a practical biblical challenge to prepare in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). You’ll learn how to use this “off-season” to build momentum, replace lies with truth, and get ready for what’s ahead—because you don’t rise to the moment; you fall back on what you prepared for. Includes a personal update from Brent’s cardiologist after his quadruple bypass and a clear action plan to help men break free from unhealthy thoughts and live Unleashed.

    Following the Call

    Following the Call Unleashed Podcast – Episode 134 What makes you tick? In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson shares how following God’s call becomes something you can’t not do. From a high school counselor who said he wasn’t college material, to working in a steel mill believing a lie about his worth, Brent unpacks how God used adversity, danger, and unexpected moments to awaken his true purpose. Brent reflects on his early music career—including touring with Steven Curtis Chapman and his college roommate Eric Horner—and how all three men stayed true to their calling by serving Jesus through music with their lives. Their stories reveal a powerful truth: when a man aligns with how God uniquely created him, he comes fully alive. This episode challenges men to confront the Big Lie—that performance and others’ opinions define their worth—and replace it with God’s truth. Brent explains how real whys give life meaning, while counterfeit whys like money, status, success, and approval only keep men busy and empty. If you’re bored, beaten down, searching for more, or wondering why your life feels stalled, this episode will help you rediscover the call God placed on your life—and the courage to follow it. Because when a man finds his why, he stops surviving and starts living.

    You Never Know Who's Listening

    You never know who’s listening… and you never know how God might use words spoken through a podcast to change a man’s life. In this powerful episode of Unleashed, Brent Henderson reflects on a journey that took him from the SHOT Show in Las Vegas to a historic winter storm back home—and how God used words spoken through the Unleashed podcast to meet a man at the most important crossroads of his life. After the show, Brent and his wife Stacy experienced The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere—an unforgettable reminder of how immersive and powerful words, sound, and story can be. Less than 24 hours later, they returned home through whiteout conditions and dangerous roads, where one wrong move could send you careening off course. At the SHOT Show, a man approached Brent after recognizing his voice. What Brent didn’t know was that this man had found Jesus alone in his truck while listening to an episode of the Unleashed podcast. The episode—“What Are You Willing to Risk”—was about taking risks, and for this man, the risk wasn’t just financial. Having invested everything into his business, he faced the greatest risk of all: trusting that God is real. Through the words he heard on the podcast, faith stopped being theoretical and became personal. God met him right there behind the wheel, changing the direction of his life. This episode also explores how careless words can wound deeply, how unseen listeners are closer than we think, and why Scripture reminds us that the tongue has the power of life and death. Drawing inspiration from William Wallace’s iconic speech in Braveheart, Brent speaks directly to men who have been talked down to, dismissed, or silenced—and calls them to rise again with courage, identity, and freedom. If you’ve ever wondered whether your words matter… If you’ve ever been hurt by what someone said about you… If you need courage to take a step of faith… This episode is for you.

    The Cost of Taking the Bait

    In this episode of Unleashed, Brent Henderson shares a powerful message about discernment, emotional triggers, and what to do after you’ve already “taken the bait” in a conflict. Using a SHOT Show setup, a hunting landmine illustration, and the warning of 1 Peter 5:8 (“be alert… your enemy the devil prowls”), Brent unpacks how the Holy Spirit helps us see what we can’t see before a moment detonates. You’ll hear a personal story from a wedding reception that reveals how quickly anger can steal peace—even when the motivation feels justified—and how humility, boundaries, repentance, and empathy can redeem a situation after a misstep. If you’ve ever replayed an argument, regretted your words, or felt trapped in outrage, this episode will help you reset your heart, guard your mind, and walk in step with the Spirit.
