    Why Self-Help Fails Men (ft. Russ Ewell)

    Send us Fan Mail Why are so many men trapped in isolation and feeling like failures? In this episode, Russ Ewell breaks down why behavior modification fails, how to overcome secret struggles like porn addiction, and how real mentorship changes everything. Checkout Russ Ewell and all that he's up to 👇 Newsletter: https://deepspirituality.com/the-spiritual-frontier-introduction/ Book: https://deepspirituality.com/book/ Church: https://bacc.cc/team/russ-ewell/ Men of Iron president Ryan Zook sits down with Russ to get into the part of faith nobody preaches: the difference between "religious Christianity" and "spiritual Christianity," why behavior change without heart change just makes you better at managing your bank account, and the day a church program put Russ's son — who has Down syndrome — on a separate field. Russ didn't leave. He built a school, the technology, and inclusive leagues so no other kid would sit out. Then he wrote a book saying the rest of us have God wrong too. If you're the man who does everything right and still feels like God is disappointed in you, start here. WHAT WE GET INTO • Why most men want an older man in their corner — and almost none go looking • "Religious" vs. "spiritual" Christianity, and how to tell which one you're living • The real reason behavior change never sticks • What actual mentorship looks like — including the phone conversation everyone's going to argue about • Raising sons, inherited patterns, and the fear of becoming your parents • Formation vs. destruction: what to do with failure • How one man investing in one man built everything Russ has TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP WITH MEN OF IRON Score your Core5 Assessment https://menofiron.org/score-your-core5/ 🧗 BASECAMP — Daily devotionals built for men who want to grow: https://menofiron.org/basecamp-free/ 🏔 RIDGELINE — go through it with other men.
