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.

    744. I’m Just A Guy: Resisting Temptation

    Send us Fan Mail Temptation rarely kicks the door down. More often, it slides in through a thought we don’t challenge, a scroll we don’t stop, or a private habit we keep feeding until it feels bigger than us. We’re opening the Bible and getting honest about what Christian men actually face, using 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 as our anchor: stay humble, stay alert, and trust God to provide a real way of escape when pressure hits.

    743. 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail The most dangerous words a man can say are “I’d never do that.” Temptation doesn’t usually kick down the front door, it slips in through small compromises we excuse, hide, or downplay. We open 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 and get honest about why spiritual overconfidence is a trap for Christian men who want strong marriages, clean integrity, and real spiritual leadership.

    742. Member Spotlight: Scott Spencer

    Send us Fan Mail A secret doesn’t stay small, it grows teeth. Scott Spencer knows that firsthand, and his story is a raw reminder that the darkest part of your past doesn’t get to be the final word. From a childhood shaped by church routines and family love to middle school upheaval after his dad’s deployment, Scott walks us through how bullying, isolation, and shame set the stage for years of hidden pornography addiction and other numbing escapes.

    741. The God Worth Trusting With Ryan Maher

    Send us Fan Mail Some pain doesn’t just hurt, it rewrites what you think God is like. If you’ve ever stared at loss, betrayal, addiction, tragedy, or unanswered prayer and wondered, “Is God really good?”, you’re not alone, and you’re not crazy for asking. We’re joined by Ryan Maher, a digital evangelism leader who’s helped millions engage with Scripture online and who runs a massive daily prayer community on Instagram.  Come see us at the I'm Just a Guy Vision Men's Summit in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 10 and at The Camp For Men in Fall River, Kansas on October 23-25.

    740. Mark 9:24 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail “I do believe. Help my unbelief.” That one line from Mark 9:24 is short, raw, and almost uncomfortably relatable, especially when you’re carrying stress you can’t fix. We slow down and unpack what’s happening in the story, why a desperate father’s prayer matters so much, and how it gives Christian men language for the moments when faith feels fragile.

    739. Member Spotlight: Tom Monck

    Send us Fan Mail We hand the mic to Lion member Tom Monck for a story that moves from a Catholic upbringing and early church involvement to teenage rebellion, addiction, and consequences that stack up fast. Tom shares what it was like getting sober, realizing sobriety did not automatically mean knowing God, and how becoming a husband and father exposed the gap between “religion” and real relationship with Jesus. His turning point comes through community, a Wednesday night class that challenges his assumptions, and a men’s retreat where Scripture finally lands in his bones, leading to prayer, baptism, and a new direction.

    738. Finding Virtue With Reagan Miller

    Send us Fan Mail Most men can name a birthday, a driver’s license, or a first job, but still can’t answer the deeper question: when did I become a man? That silence matters, because boys are asking it anyway, and if fathers don’t answer, the world will. I’m joined by Reagan Miller, founder of Finding Virtue Ministries and author of Finding Virtue, to talk about a practical, biblical rite of passage that helps fathers disciple their sons with clarity.  Come see us at the I'm Just a Guy Vision Men's Summit in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 10 and at The Camp For Men in Fall River, Kansas on October 23-25.
