  • Updated Semiweekly

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.

    734. Psalm 32:3-5 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail Silence can feel like strength, but Psalm 32 says it can slowly crush you. We sit with David’s words in Psalm 32:3-5 and talk like men who have actually carried guilt, shame, and secrets. When we keep silent, the pressure does not stay spiritual. It leaks into our bodies, our marriages, our leadership, and our peace until we feel sapped dry like summer heat.  Come see us at Man Camp in Wanship, Utah on September 25-27, 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.

    733. Member Spotlight: Richard Fletcher

    Send us Fan Mail A prison can harden you, humble you, or both, and Richard Fletcher has lived that tension from the inside. Rick serves as a sergeant with the New Jersey Department of Corrections, and he joins us to share a raw, hopeful testimony of walking away from faith, hitting a moment of absolute powerlessness, and finding God’s grip stronger than his own. If you’ve ever wondered whether God can restore the years you feel you wasted, the promise in Joel 2:25 lands with weight and with real-life proof.

    732. Faith And Forgiveness With Al Robertson

    Send us Fan Mail A marriage can break in a night, but rebuilding it takes years of truth, repentance, and the kind of forgiveness most people only talk about in theory. I’m joined by Al Robertson to pull back the curtain on Faith and Forgiveness, the Lifetime movie inspired by his and Lisa’s real-life story, and why they chose to put their hardest chapter on screen for the sake of other families. Come see us at Man Camp in Wanship, Utah on September 25-27, 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.

    731. Joel 2:25 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail The years can vanish faster than we want to admit. A season of anger. A hidden addiction. A relationship we damaged with pride. A stretch of shame where we stopped believing God could still use us. Joel 2:25 names that kind of devastation with a vivid image, “the years the locusts have eaten,” and it also dares to claim something most of us struggle to believe when we’re in the wreckage: God restores.

    730. Member Spotlight: Keith Read

    Send us Fan Mail Keith Reed joins us for a member spotlight that feels like a movie script. Keith grew up around constant church and Bible teaching, but he also lived through the kind of fear based legalism that can distort the gospel and leave real scars. From there, he ran hard into rebellion and built a decades long career in live sound and touring, working around some of the biggest names in music. He shares what he learned about humility, serving the people in the seats, and staying grounded when your world is built on pressure, travel, and performance.

    729. I'm Just A Guy: Who's Ashamed

    Send us Fan Mail Shame is sneaky because it doesn’t just point at what we did, it tries to rename who we are. I open with Isaiah 61:7, because God’s promise is clear: He doesn’t leave us stuck in disgrace, He restores, He heals, and He gives joy where shame used to sit. We talk about the difference between guilt and shame, why shame makes men hide, and how that hiding quietly benches us from the leadership God intends for our homes, marriages, and daily choices.

    728. Isaiah 61:7 - Spiritual Kick Off

    Send us Fan Mail Shame doesn’t just make you feel bad. It convinces you to step out of the fight, stay quiet at home, and let someone else carry spiritual leadership. We open Isaiah 61:7 and sit with a promise that feels almost too good to be true: God replaces shame with a double portion, disgrace with joy, and broken identity with restored inheritance. That one verse becomes a mirror and a map for Christian men who are tired of hiding but aren’t sure how to move forward.

    727. Member Spotlight: Craig Harris

    Send us Fan Mail A single sentence can expose the whole direction of your life: “Get right or you’re going to lose your family.” That’s the moment Craig Harris shares with us, and it’s the kind of honest turning point many men recognize, even if they’ve never said it out loud. We start with Acts 20:35 and the challenge to serve and give, then follow Craig’s story from early faith to adulthood, where character is tested by temptation, pressure, and the slow drift that can happen inside a “successful” life.
