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.

    659. Genesis 3:12 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send a text What if the most dangerous choice a man makes is the choice to say nothing? We take a hard look at Genesis 3:12 and discover how Adam’s silence and blame set a pattern many of us still follow—at home, in church, and at work. This isn’t finger-pointing; it’s an honest call to trade passivity for Spirit-led leadership that serves, protects, and tells the truth even when it’s costly. Reclaiming the Wild is back — April 24–26 at Abundant Blessings Farm (Stem, NC). This isn’t just a retreat… it’s a reset: brotherhood, faith, outdoors, bonfires, and real conversations. Theme: we have been commanded to unite. Bring your son (or any male kid 5+) and make memories that last. Register now — let’s reclaim the wild.  It’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines. Step into the fight and become the man God called you to be. Join a brotherhood built on truth, strength, and action. Visit thelionwithin.us right now and start leading with boldness and purpose.

    Send a text Ever felt like you’re swinging harder with a dull axe? We open with Ecclesiastes 10:10 and sit down with Benjamin Matteson, a veteran law enforcement officer, to explore how wisdom, mentorship, and brotherhood sharpen a man’s life.

    657. Men Of Iron With Ryan Zook

    Send a text Ever feel like you’re swinging harder but not getting anywhere? We anchor this conversation in Ecclesiastes 10:10—if the axe is dull, more strength won’t save you—and explore how sharpening through mentorship and discipleship turns effort into impact.

Mark Mitchell joins us to share a raw, hopeful journey from buried trauma and box-check faith to a daily walk with God that actually changes how he leads his home.

    654. The Road Less Triggered With Dr. Kelly Flanagan

    Send a text Pressure rises, words sharpen, and suddenly your chest tightens—you’ve left connection and slipped into protection. Dr. Kelly Flanagan joins us to unpack that exact moment and show how a single decision can change the outcome: notice your heart closing and choose to open it. We trace the real mechanics of being triggered—how the nervous system mistakes small threats for mortal danger, why our best communication tools vanish, and how both silence and aggression can be clever forms of control.
