    An Interview with Former Police Officer Jeremy Schwentker on Addiction, Faith, and Recovery

    Most men battling addiction don’t look addicted. They look functional. They go to work. They provide. They smile in public. But behind closed doors, many are quietly drowning in alcohol, pornography, gambling, drugs, isolation, anger, and escapism. In this episode of Men Moving Mountains, Christopher Stone sits down for an interview with Jeremy Schwentker, a former police officer turned faith-based addiction counselor, to unpack the hidden addiction crisis affecting men today. Jeremy opens up about his own journey through alcoholism, trauma, brokenness, identity loss, and recovery after reaching what he describes as “the bottom of a bottle and the end of a barrel.” Together, they discuss: • Why men suppress emotions instead of talking • The identity crisis behind addiction • Alcohol, pornography, and escapism in modern culture • Trauma, shame, and isolation • Why successful men still feel empty • The pressure men carry silently • Why addiction thrives in secrecy • Brotherhood, healing, and rebuilding purpose • Faith, masculinity, and transformation Jeremy also shares how faith, accountability, structure, and brotherhood helped completely rebuild his life and led him into helping other men through recovery and counseling. If you’re a man struggling silently, or know someone who is, this episode could be the conversation that changes everything. This is more than a podcast. This is a movement.

    From Loss, and Fatherlessness to Leadership | An Interview with Jonathan Gray

    Most men don’t say it out loud. They’re overwhelmed. They’re tired. They’re carrying pressure they don’t know how to explain. And they’ve gotten so used to holding it in that silence feels normal. In this episode of Men Moving Mountains, Christopher Stone sits down with Jonathan Gray for a raw conversation about what men are really dealing with behind the scenes. Jonathan shares his story of growing up in rural Missouri in a fatherless home, being raised by a young single mother, stepping into responsibility early, battling anger, going through trouble as a young man, and learning how discipline, mentorship, and structure helped change the trajectory of his life. This conversation dives into: fatherlessness and male identity pressure, silence, and emotional bottling the loneliness men face after marriage, kids, and responsibility grief, loss, and the importance of checking on your people why routines, fitness, and structure matter and how brotherhood can help men stay between the rails Men Moving Mountains Men Moving Mountains is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on helping men rebuild through faith, family, fitness, finance, friendship, and fun.

    Why Men Can’t Relax (Even When You Finally Stop)

    Most men don’t know how to shut their minds off. Even when the work is done… Even when the house is quiet… Even when they finally sit down… Their brain is already somewhere else. Planning. Solving. Anticipating. This episode breaks down why that happens, how it’s wired into you, and what it’s quietly costing you over time. If you’ve ever felt like you’re always “on”… this is for you.   Sign up at MenMovingMountains.org and plug into Uplift Men University, where we are building classes, brotherhood, tools, and conversations for men navigating real life transitions.

    The Identity Crisis No One Warned Men About | Divorce, Loss, Purpose & Rebuilding Who You Are

    What happens when the role that defined you is gone? In this episode of Men Moving Mountains, we talk about the identity crisis no one really prepares men for... the silent season that hits after the divorce, after the business fails, after the kids grow up, after retirement, after the loss, after the title disappears. Because for a lot of men, it is not just the end of a chapter. It feels like the erasure of who they were. This conversation dives into the reality that many men are living through right now: the quiet loss of identity, the pressure to stay silent, the tendency to overwork, isolate, numb out, or rush into the next thing without ever rebuilding from the inside out. Inside this episode, we cover: • Why divorce, career loss, retirement, and transition hit men so hard • How men unintentionally tie their worth to titles, income, marriage, and performance • Why so many men feel lost when the role they built their life around disappears • The danger of trying to fix pain through work, drinking, isolation, or distraction • Why brotherhood matters when life shifts and old identities fall apart • How hobbies, purpose, faith, and personal passions help men rebuild • What it looks like to stop living in reaction and start rebuilding with intention • Why the second half of life can still become the strongest chapter yet This episode is honest, personal, and built straight from the conversations happening inside the Men Moving Mountains community. If you are in a season where life looks different, where the old version of you is gone, or where you are trying to figure out who you are without the thing that used to define you, this one is for you. You are not done. You are not buried in your past. And you are not the title you lost. Sometimes the end of one role is the beginning of the man you were actually meant to become.

    As a Man Thinketh – Rewriting the Mind, Rebuilding the Man

    Everything in your life started as a thought. In this episode of Men Moving Mountains, we break down one of the most powerful personal development books ever written—As a Man Thinketh by James Allen—and apply its principles directly to the modern man’s life. This is not a motivational talk. This is a blueprint for transformation. From high school dropout to business owner, this episode walks through the raw reality of how personal development, discipline, and thought control can completely change the trajectory of a man’s life. Because the truth is simple: Your external world is a reflection of your internal world. If your thoughts are filled with doubt, comparison, scarcity, or resentment… you will build a life that reflects it. But if your thoughts are grounded in ownership, growth, faith, and purpose… you build something unshakable. In this episode, we break down: Why your thoughts are the foundation of your actions, habits, character, and destiny How negative internal dialogue quietly destroys your purpose The six pillars of Men Moving Mountains and how your mindset shapes each one (Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance, Friends, Fun) Why most men feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected—and how to break that cycle The concept of your mind as a garden—and why discipline is required to grow anything worthwhile How to conduct a daily thought audit to reclaim control of your direction This episode will challenge you to take full ownership of your life—no blame, no excuses, no victim mindset. Because mountains are not moved by wishing. They are moved by becoming the man capable of climbing them. If you feel stuck… this is your starting point. If you feel lost… this is your direction. If you’re ready to rebuild… this is your framework. You are not your past. You are your patterns. And patterns can be changed. Join the movement. Rewire your thinking.

    The Silent War Men are Fighting and How to Fight Back

    Most men are fighting a war no one can see. In this episode of Men Moving Mountains, we confront The Silent War—the internal battles men carry in silence. The pressure to provide. The weight of responsibility. The loss of purpose. The isolation that slowly pulls men away from their families, their work, and themselves. This isn’t about weakness. It’s about a system that never taught men how to be supported. We break down the real reasons men are struggling today—from fatherlessness and burnout to identity loss and disconnection—and why so many men feel like they’re living on autopilot, stuck somewhere between surviving and truly living. But we don’t stop at the problem. This episode gives you a framework to fight back: How to rebuild purpose and find your “North Star” Why brotherhood is essential to a man’s survival The daily physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines that restore clarity How to audit your life, your circle, and your direction And how to begin reclaiming your identity as the man you were created to be Men don’t need to be fixed. They need structure, brotherhood, and purpose. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, unseen, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions—this episode is for you. And if you haven’t, there’s a good chance a man in your life has. This is more than a conversation. This is a call to rebuild. Join the movement. Step into brotherhood. Start climbing again.
