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.

    647. Job 1:8 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send a text What if the praise you want from God requires the process you’re trying to avoid? We sit with Job 1:8 and lean into a hard truth: character is forged before the crisis and revealed in the fire. This conversation is for men who want to lead with conviction, guard their homes, and walk with a steady peace the world can’t counterfeit.

    646. Member Spotlight: Jon Rogers

    Send a text Men don’t need more noise; we need brothers who show up. Chris sits down with John Rogers to trace a surprisingly relatable path: a tough year, a big move, a gym next to a church, and the discovery that small, steady community can change everything. John shares how daily Scripture, honest conversation, and a tight mastermind group helped him lead with courage at home and at work—without adding pressure or pretense.

    645. Blame Jesus With Drew Parker

    Send a text A prayer for clarity. A 3 a.m. wake-up call. A career pivot no one saw coming. Drew Parker sat atop a decade of hard-won Nashville success—Grammy and CMA nods, stadium tours with Luke Combs, a label pushing singles at country radio—yet the joy faded when the lights went down. Wrestling with frustration and purpose, he asked God to speak so clearly that denial would be impossible. Five days later, his unbelieving manager called, shaken by nights of being jolted awake with one message: you’re supposed to sing about Jesus.

    644. Psalm 37:5 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us a text Pressure rises, deadlines tighten, and our hands reach for the wheel. We say we trust God, yet we still try to be God. This conversation breaks that cycle with a clear path from Psalm 37:5—commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act—and shows how those words transform real decisions for husbands, fathers, and leaders.

    643. Member Spotlight: Bunky Griffith

    Send us a text A skeptical young husband sits on a pastor’s office floor, reads a passage, and finds the kind of faith that changes a life. That simple, humble start turns into decades of service: deep mentorship in a small church, ministry training, and a leap across the world to plant house churches in post-Soviet Ukraine. Along the way come cold trains, open-air markets, a tense meeting with the local mafia leader, and the unmistakable thread of provision that follows obedience. The mission stays clear: equip locals to reach their neighbors, trust God over comfort, and measure impact by fruit that remains.

    642. From Broken Boy To Mended Man With Patrick Morley

    Send us a text Some wounds don’t fade with time; they hide in our habits, our anger, and the way we lead at home. Patrick Morley joins us to chart a clear, biblical way to heal childhood pain and become a steady, cycle-breaking man. From passive or permissive parenting to outright absence or anger, we unpack how early stories shape adult reactions—and why behavior tweaks alone won’t fix a heart running old scripts.

    641. Lamentations 3:31-32 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us a text When pain won’t let up and prayers feel like they bounce off the ceiling, Lamentations 3:31–32 speaks a quiet, stubborn hope: grief is seasonal, compassion is relentless. Chris opens up about back-to-back surgeries, infections, and the gut-punch of starting over, then walks us through how Scripture reframes suffering without sugarcoating it. The heart of the message is simple and strong—God does not cast off forever, and the same hand that allows a hard season is the hand that lifts you from it.
