    Aidenn & Thomas White: The Silent Battle of Never Feeling Good Enough

    What happens when you know your father is proud of you—but something inside you still says you're not enough? Sixteen-year-old Aiden White has grown up surrounded by faith. But that hasn't made him immune to self-doubt. Sometimes it's his grades. Sometimes it's the pressure to make his dad proud. Sometimes it's the belief that he should be strong enough to help everyone else without needing help himself. And sometimes the question goes even deeper: Am I enough for God? In this episode, Robert sits down with Aiden, his father Thomas, and Robert's son Justin for an unusually honest conversation between two generations of men. The sons talk about comparison, pressure, hiding struggles and what they actually hear when their fathers speak. The fathers are forced to consider something different: our children aren't only listening to what we tell them. They're watching how we respond to failure, how we ask for help, how we handle our emotions and how we walk with God. Aiden also shares a moment when everything he'd been holding inside came bubbling out. A friend found him sitting alone in his car with tears streaming down his face—and instead of fixing him, his friend simply stayed. It's a moment that leads to a larger conversation about brotherhood and the ministry of presence. Along the way, Aiden shares his desire to become a pastor, offers a powerful perspective on John the Baptist, and reminds everyone at the table that following Jesus doesn't mean we stop struggling. Maybe strength isn't proving we can carry everything. Maybe sometimes strength sounds like: “I need help.” Every man has a story. At God's Glory In Men's Real Stories, we believe healing begins when we stop pretending and start telling the truth. Every week you'll hear honest conversations about faith, identity, mental health, healing, and the stories God continues to redeem. Whether you're walking through loss, addiction, shame, broken relationships, uncertainty, or simply trying to follow Jesus one day at a time, our prayer is that these conversations remind you that hope is real and healing is possible. You're not alone. And your story is not over.

    Abandonment, Rejection & Finally Taking Off the Mask | Elliot Riley

    What if the pain you're reacting to today didn't actually start today? In this episode of God's Glory In Men's Real Stories, Robert sits down with Elliot Riley for an incredibly honest conversation about abandonment, rejection, masculinity, relationships, grief, healing, and surrender. Elliot is a father of eight, a barber of more than 20 years, and author of The Bruh Code: 10 Principles for Building Relationships, Unity, and Honor. He's spent decades behind the barber chair hearing men's stories and watching generations grow up in front of him. This time, however, Elliot tells his own story. His biological mother left when he was young, creating an abandonment wound Elliot would eventually recognize resurfacing throughout his life. Moving away. Heartbreak. Relationships. Divorce. Rejection. Again and again, the circumstances changed, but the feeling underneath them remained: Everybody's leaving. Elliot and Robert unpack how unresolved pain can shape the way men pursue relationships, how culture teaches young men to prove their masculinity, why wounded men sometimes give wounded advice, and how we can unknowingly carry old pain into new relationships. Elliot also shares the heartbreaking final conversation with the woman he calls his mom, the grief that followed her death, and how he wore an incredible mask while privately crumbling and drinking heavily. Eventually, God began asking him for something different: Trust. Submission. Surrender. Today, Elliot is using the very story he once carried privately to help other men become better husbands, fathers, friends, and brothers. Because sometimes the part of your story you wish you could erase becomes the very thing God uses to reach somebody else. 👤 Today's Guest Elliot Riley Instagram: @elliotrileybruh@bruhcltYouTube: BuildwithBRUH 📖 The Bruh Code: 10 Principles for Building Relationships, Unity, and Honor Available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and buildwithbruh.com.

    Creating, Providing & Learning to Ask God First | Emmanuel Threatt

    What happens when you're capable of figuring things out yourself—but God is asking you to trust Him instead? In this episode of God's Glory In Men's Real Stories, Robert sits down with Emmanuel Threatt for an honest conversation about creativity, fatherhood, provision, prayer, surrender, community, and learning to ask God first. Emmanuel shares how raising three-year-old triplets has taught him to slow down and appreciate life's "micro moments," how he and his wife have spent eight years serving Charlotte's unhoused community through Hope Vibes, and how a simple desire to drink coffee and connect with friends grew into Big Drip Revival. But the conversation eventually turns toward something both Robert and Emmanuel realize they're wrestling with in real time: What happens when we ask AI for the plan before we've asked God for direction? They unpack the temptation to immediately turn an idea into a strategy, why creativity doesn't always have to produce income, the pressure men carry to provide, and why trusting God requires surrendering our need for control. Emmanuel also shares something he's learning about prayer: Prayer isn't idle. Prayer is active. Prayer isn't stopping the process. It's allowing God to give us the instructions we need to move correctly. From Hope Vibes and God's provision to fatherhood, spiritual inheritance, AI, community, creativity, and finding God outside the walls of a church, this conversation is a reminder that being capable of making a plan doesn't mean we're supposed to make it without Him. Sometimes the first step isn't figuring it out. It's asking God first. 👤 Today's Guest Emmanuel Threatt Connect with Emmanuel: Big Drip Revival:bigdriprevival.com Hope Vibes:hopevibes.org Creating as worship instead of only for incomeThe pressure men carry to provideFinding peace in fatherhood and chaosBuilding Hope Vibes and serving unhoused neighborsHow Big Drip Revival became a place for authentic communityRethinking the inheritance we leave our childrenTrusting God's provisionWhy surrender requires giving up controlAsking God before asking AIThe danger of an "artificial Holy Spirit"Why prayer isn't passiveFinding God outside the walls of a churchWhy men need real community 🎙️ God's Glory In Men's Real Stories Real men.

    We Are All Barabbas: Grace, Freedom & Why Jesus Took Our Place

    Most of us know the story of Barabbas. A guilty man walks free while an innocent man is led to the cross. It's one of the most familiar moments in Scripture. But what if we've completely misunderstood why it's there? What if Barabbas isn't simply a man from the Easter story... What if Barabbas is every one of us? In this powerful conversation, Robert Moore is joined by Paul McDonald and Christian Hughes for an honest discussion about one of the most overlooked stories in the Bible and why it changes the way we understand grace, freedom, forgiveness, and the Gospel itself. Together, they explore what it means that Jesus willingly took Barabbas' place—and why that same exchange continues to transform lives today. The conversation goes far beyond theology. Paul, Christian, and Robert unpack the struggles every believer wrestles with after salvation: shame, performance, unanswered prayers, consequences, father wounds, old pain, fear, surrender, and the tension between knowing we've been set free while still learning how to live like it. They ask difficult questions many Christians quietly carry: Why do I still struggle if Jesus has already set me free? Am I living from grace or still trying to earn God's approval? How do I trust God's goodness when life doesn't go the way I expected? What happens when old wounds keep resurfacing? And how do we stop living like prisoners when the prison door has already been opened? Throughout the episode, the story of Barabbas becomes more than a historical account. It becomes a mirror. A reminder that every one of us deserved the cross, yet Jesus willingly stepped into our place so we could experience freedom we could never earn ourselves. Whether you've followed Jesus for decades, recently surrendered your life to Him, or you're simply exploring what Christianity is really about, this conversation is an invitation to see the Gospel with fresh eyes. Because the story was never just about Barabbas. It's about us. And it's about a Savior who continues choosing grace over condemnation. Every man has a story. At God's Glory In Men's Real Stories, we believe healing begins when we stop pretending and start telling the truth. Every week you'll hear honest conversations about faith, identity, mental health, healing, and the stories God continues to redeem. Whether you're walking through loss, addiction, shame, broken relationships, anxiety, depression, uncertainty, or simply trying to follow Jesus one day at a time, our prayer is that these conversations remind you that hope is real and healing is possible.

    King Kami: How Grief Led Me to Jesus

    Sometimes the greatest heartbreak in our lives becomes the doorway God uses to bring us home. Before Ryan—better known as King Kami—gave his life to Christ, his faith wasn't in God. It was in people, money, success, relationships, and his own ability to create the life he thought would finally satisfy him. But no matter how much he achieved or how hard he chased the things the world promised would fulfill him, the emptiness never went away. Everything changed when he experienced a devastating loss. What began as grief became an invitation. In the middle of heartbreak, Ryan heard God speak two simple words: "It's time." In this honest conversation with Robert Moore, Ryan shares how the death of someone he deeply loved exposed the emptiness he had been carrying for years and became the turning point that led him into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Together, Robert and Ryan explore how our faith is always rooted in something—even before we know Christ. They unpack what it means to place our confidence in money, success, relationships, lust, and achievement, only to discover that none of those things can satisfy what only God was created to fill. The conversation also dives into the battles many men quietly fight every day: pornography, lust, grief, identity, trauma, mental health, temptation, and learning how to stop coping with pain and finally begin healing from it. Ryan opens up about the transformation that followed surrendering his life to Jesus, how his music changed after his faith changed, and why Christian hip-hop became an extension of his testimony instead of simply another genre of music. This isn't just a conversation about grief. It's about discovering that sometimes God allows our hearts to break because He's preparing to give us a new one. Whether you've been chasing success, struggling with temptation, carrying unprocessed grief, or wondering why nothing in this world seems to satisfy you, this episode is a reminder that hope isn't found in changing your circumstances. Hope is found in the One who changes hearts. Connect with King Kami 📷 Instagram@kingkami.official 🎵 SpotifyKing Kami 🍎 Apple MusicKing Kami ▶️ YouTubeKingKami.Official Every man has a story.

    From Prison to Purpose | Tony "Brother Tone" on Addiction, Prison, Islam & Finding Jesus

    Some stories remind us that God's grace reaches places we never could. Before Anthony "Brother Tone" became a minister, evangelist, and founder of Inside Out Ministry, he was a young man searching for identity, acceptance, and purpose in all the wrong places. Growing up without a father, surrounded by abuse, addiction, gangs, and brokenness, his life eventually led him to spend more than 22 years behind bars. But prison wasn't where his story ended. It became the place where God began revealing who he had always been created to become. In this powerful conversation with Robert Moore, Brother Tone shares how childhood wounds, addiction, violence, and years of incarceration left him spiritually numb, why he searched for God through Islam before encountering Jesus Christ, and the life-changing moment he finally surrendered after realizing God had been pursuing him all along. Together, Robert and Brother Tone have an honest conversation about father wounds, trauma, pain, identity, tattoos, addiction, prison life, surrender, fear, discipleship, therapy, mental health, and what it means to stop merely believing in God and begin living in relationship with Him. This isn't simply a testimony about surviving prison. It's a story about discovering that freedom isn't found when prison doors open. Freedom begins when Jesus changes your heart. Whether you've wrestled with shame, addiction, fear, anger, broken relationships, father wounds, or simply wonder if your past has disqualified you from God's purpose, this conversation is a reminder that God specializes in redeeming the stories the world has already written off. No matter how far you've run... No matter how long you've been carrying guilt... No matter what people have called you... God is still calling your name.

    How's Your Gas Tank? Stewart Essey on Brotherhood, Purpose, and Why Every Man Needs Someone to Check In

    What if the best way to care for someone isn't asking, "How are you?" but asking, "How's your gas tank?" In this conversation, Stewart Essey shares how one simple question has become a doorway to deeper conversations, stronger friendships, and honest brotherhood. Along the way, Stewart opens up about his journey from corporate leadership into ministry, the mission trip that forever changed his understanding of God's calling, and why serving others isn't about earning God's love but responding to it. Whether you're feeling empty, searching for purpose, or simply wondering if anyone notices what you're carrying, this episode is a reminder that God often uses ordinary people and ordinary conversations to accomplish extraordinary things.

    I Didn't Really Love Myself: Adrian White on Healing, Identity, and Learning to Receive God's Love

    For most of his life, Adrian White believed he had everything under control. He was a licensed therapist helping others heal. He had a successful career, a growing family, and a desire to follow God. But beneath the accomplishments was a painful realization: He didn't really love himself. In this powerful conversation, Adrian joins Robert Moore to share how childhood wounds, growing up without the protection he needed, broken trust, divorce, and years of relying on his own strength shaped the man he became—and how God slowly began transforming him from the inside out. Together they discuss why success can hide brokenness, why many men struggle to be vulnerable, the importance of mentorship, learning to receive God's love, healing after divorce, building a healthy blended family, and becoming the kind of man who leads from healing instead of hurt. This episode isn't simply about relationships. It's about identity. Because until we allow God to heal the places we've hidden from everyone else, we'll continue asking the people we love to carry wounds they were never meant to heal. If you've ever struggled with shame, trust, self-worth, vulnerability, or wondering if God could still use your story, this conversation is a reminder that healing is possible—and that God's love reaches deeper than our greatest failures. Every man has a story. At God's Glory In Men's Real Stories, we believe healing begins when we stop pretending and start telling the truth.
