    Carlton’s Dad: Living with H.E.A.R.T. | The Bible Belt, Salvation & Leaving a Legacy | EP. 50

    EP. 50 | Can you believe we've made it to Episode 50?! With just THREE episodes remaining, Carlton sits down with his 61-year-old dad, Jay French, for one of the most theological episodes yet! Jay grew up in the “Bible Belt” of rural South Georgia, where he accepted Jesus, but his story did not end there. Jay walks through his personal journey, weaving in what the Bible actually says about salvation, which verses point to it, and even what you can reference if you do not trust the Bible yet. Believing Jay’s testimony will encourage you to take an honest next step toward Jesus. ------------------------------------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesinglemanpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ╰┈➤Want to support The Single Man Podcast?

    Hitting Rock Bottom In Your 20s | New Age, Mushrooms & Alignment With God | EP. 44

    EP. 44 | In this powerful Episode 44, Carlton sits down with Hunter Hanna, a 25-year-old single man who hit rock bottom in his 20s after exploring partying, drinking, drugs, and New Age spirituality. Everything on the outside looked “good,” but when Hunter started asking himself, “Why Am I Alive?”, a small still voice stirred him to seek Jesus and everything began to shift. As he shares how spiritual warfare and strongholds led him into solitude, endurance, and alignment with God, Hunter also unpacks how his view of dating has changed as a single man and what he’d tell any man who feels purposeless or like there has to be more to life. ------------------------------------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thesinglemanpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ╰┈➤Want to support The Single Man Podcast?
