Christian men are in a battle for their lives. Satan will do everything possible to destroy them. The Lion Within Us is a community that provides encouragement to become the leaders God intends us to be. Our main focus lies within three categories: Health (Mental/Physical), Wealth (Careers/Finances) and Self (Husbands/Fathers/Brothers in Christ). By sharpening these areas of our lives, we can find the strength needed to stand firm in our faith and unleash the Lion Within.

    715. Member Spotlight: Terry Debusk

    Send us Fan Mail Isolation doesn’t just feel bad, it makes you vulnerable. When a man believes he’s the only one struggling, the enemy can whisper anything and it sounds like truth. That’s why this conversation with Terry Debusk hit so hard. He shares his testimony of coming to Christ, getting baptized, then walking through divorce, separation from his kids, and moments where the pain felt unbearable and quitting looked easier than continuing. We're going to be at the Nashville Men's Conference on August 8th. We also have our first west coast Lion event called Man Camp in Utah on September 25-27. Head over to https://thelionwithin.us/events/ to learn more and we'd love to see you there!  There are seasons in life where God can feel painfully quiet. Prayers seem unanswered, direction feels unclear, and the silence itself can slowly begin to shape how we view Him, ourselves, and the future ahead.

    714. Building A Known Legacy With Bill Yuhasz

    Send us Fan Mail A lot of men look “fine” on the outside while quietly outsourcing spiritual leadership to someone else and hoping it all works out. My guest Bill from Known Legacy shares his faith journey from a broken home and a painful divorce to the kind of discipleship that actually changes a man. We talk honestly about the traps that steal momentum, including pornography, alcohol, shame, and the isolation that keeps men stuck. Bill explains how Known Legacy began, why so many church men settle for “just trying to not sin,” and what it looks like to come alive again through brotherhood, truth, and tangible action.

    713. Joshua 24:15 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” is not a nice quote for a wooden sign. It’s a line in the sand, and it forces a question every Christian man has to answer with his life, not just his mouth: who am I actually serving? I’m Chris Grainger, and this Spiritual Kickoff digs into Joshua 24:15 and why legacy is built one decision at a time.  We're going to be at the Nashville Men's Conference on August 8th.

    Send us Fan Mail One day you have a solid job, a steady paycheck, and a plan. The next day you’re unemployed, questioning your value, and replaying the same brutal thoughts on repeat. That’s where Michael Otis found himself, and his honesty hits hard because it sounds like so many Christian men I know: fear, worry, anxiety, and that quiet voice that says, “I’m not worthy.” We're going to be at the Nashville Men's Conference on August 8th.

    711. A View Of God's Creation From Space With Colonel Jeffrey Williams

    Send us Fan Mail An astronaut tells the truth about rockets, fear, and faith and it’s not what Hollywood sells. Colonel Jeffrey Williams grew up on a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin, logged 534 days in space across four missions, and still points to one turning point as the foundation of everything: coming to Christ during a marriage crisis that nearly broke his home. We talk candidly about what God used to rebuild trust with his wife, how leadership changes when you stop living for your own scoreboard, and why providence becomes real when your plans keep getting delayed. We're going to be at the Nashville Men's Conference on August 8th. We also have our first west coast Lion event called Man Camp in Utah on September 25-27.

    710. Psalm 146:6 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to exhaust yourself as a man is to live like everything depends on you. We open Psalm 146:6 and let it confront the pressure we carry: God made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them and He remains faithful forever. That single line draws a sharp contrast between the limits of human strength and the limitless steadiness of God, especially when life feels unstable or when God feels quiet.

    Send us Fan Mail A promotion falls through, the disappointment hits hard, and then comes the sentence many of us avoid: “God, I don’t know what you’re doing, but I’m going to give you full control.” That’s where Michael Dickson’s story gets real, because trusting God’s timing isn’t a slogan when you’re trying to provide, lead your family, and keep your faith strong.

    708. Blind Faith With Chad Roberts

    Send us Fan Mail Blindness is not a plot twist most of us plan for, and Pastor Chad Roberts didn’t either. One mission trip, one terrifying moment on a mountain, and a chain of medical decisions later, Chad goes from fully sighted to completely blind.
