The Hardest Thing a Man Will Ever Do | Learning to Surrender to God

As men, we want to fix everything. Our relationships, our families, our finances, and the problems life throws at us. But what happens when we face something we simply cannot change? In this episode of Stacking Days, we're talking about one of the hardest lessons a man can learn: surrendering control and trusting God when life doesn't make sense. We'll talk about wrestling with God, learning to let go, and why sometimes the strongest thing a man can say is, "Lord, I can't do this without You." ⚡ Stacking Days — You don't have to stack them alone. 📸 Instagram: @STKNGDYS #StackingDays #ChristianMen #Faith #TrustGod #Surrender #MensGrowth

The thing that keeps wrecking your life | Stacking Days. Pillar 5 Frailty

What's Your Weakness? We all have one. That blind spot we pretend doesn't exist — the thing that quietly sabotages our relationships, our career, our life. Today, we're talking about the fifth and final pillar of the Stacking Days program: Frailty. Faith. Family. Finances. Fitness. Frailty. Five F's because let's be honest — I'm a churchy guy and it's easier to remember. But here's the truth: if you don't know your weakness, it's running your life. Pride tells you there's nothing wrong. Shame tells you you're broken and there's nothing you can do. But humility? Humility says, "I see the good in me AND the bad, and I'm still okay — and I can work on it." In this episode, I get raw about my own struggles, why finding a community of guys who will love you through your mess is game-changing, and why I'd rather say "I'll go first" than pretend I have it all figured out. Plus, I drop my first book recommendation — Bo's Cafe — a story about a man who finds healing through honest community. (Don't send this one to your wife though, boys. This one's for us.) No studio. No polish. Just me, my car, and the truth. Because if you want a perfect podcast, there are plenty of those out there. But if you want a regular dude who's in the trenches with you — you're in the right place. Which pillar are you working on right now? Faith, family, finances, fitness, or frailty?

Fitness is more than just looking good | Stacking Days : Pillar 4 Fitness

You Don't Have Time. Nobody has time. Everybody has time. You just have to decide what matters. In this episode of the Stacking Days podcast, we're breaking down Pillar #4: FITNESS — and why it's about way more than just looking good. I'm talking mental health, emotional stability, and the daily wins that keep you showing up. I've battled with my weight my whole life. I've made excuses. I've said "I don't have time" more times than I can count. But here's what I've learned: when I don't move, I don't feel good — physically OR mentally. When I do? Everything shifts. In this episode: Why going outside and moving your body displaces anxiety, frustration, and depression How I started tracking my food with MyFitnessPal (and why honesty changes everything) The 4:30 AM gym routine nobody "has time" for Why you need to get your bloodwork done (don't be the guy who never goes to the doctor) How stacking small daily wins rewires your brain to feel like a winner The truth about the lies you tell yourself when you're in a dark season You don't have time. But you also do. Something's gotta move. Something might have to die. Let's figure it out together. 📌 The Four Pillars of Stacking Days: 1️⃣ Faith 2️⃣ Family 3️⃣ Finances 4️⃣ Fitness 📲 Follow me on Instagram and send me a message — I want to hear from you.

Stop hiding from your money | Stacking Days : Pillar 3 Finances

Most of us would rather stick our head in the sand than look at our bills, our debt, or our financial future. I get it — I've been there. But ignoring it doesn't make it go away. In this episode of the Stacking Days Podcast, I'm breaking down **Pillar #3: Finances** — and how I went from drowning in debt to paying it off, one stacked day at a time. Here's what I cover: - Why we avoid looking at our money (and why that has to stop) - How I paid off my debt using a simple weekly stacking method - How I used ChatGPT to build a real financial plan (yes, really) - Why going to work every day matters more than you think - How a side hustle changed my entire financial trajectory - The power of not stacking alone — and why guys suck at asking for help **The 5 Pillars of Stacking Days:** 1. Faith 2. Family 3. Finances ← we're on this one 4. Fitness 5. Frailty If this resonates with you, drop a comment below with the pillar you're working on right now.

Stop waiting for your family to change. Start with you. | Ep. 2: Family

What does it look like to show up for your family every single day? In this episode of Stacking Days, Brian Schooley dives into the second pillar — family — and why small, consistent actions matter more than grand gestures. From sending a midday text to your wife to staying connected with your kids after they've moved out, this episode is about being intentional with the people God has placed in your life — even when the dynamics are complicated. We cover: • Why you should reach out with no expectations in return • The 24-hour rule for conflict • How leading your family means living your faith, not just talking about it • Laying down your life for your spouse in the simplest ways • The only person you can actually change (hint: it's you) New episodes drop as Brian drives to work in the morning — pull up a seat and let's stack some days together. Follow on Instagram and reach out if you'd like to join the first community group of 10–15 guys going deeper on these topics. 📸 Instagram: @STKNGDYS #StackingDays #Family #Men #Faith #Fatherhood #Marriage #Podcast

The Five Things Every Man Needs to Fix : But Won't Talk About (intro epidsode)

Most guys are secretly struggling — and pretending everything's fine. In this video, I break down the 5 pillars every man needs to work on: **Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, and Frailty** — that last one being the thing none of us want to talk about. The concept is simple: it's called **Stacking Days**. One workout doesn't change your life. One prayer doesn't change your relationship with God. But stack 30 days, 100 days, a year — and everything changes. This video is for the guy sitting in his truck at the end of the day thinking, *"Nobody gets me. I don't have any friends. I don't know what to do with my life."* You're not alone — and you shouldn't have to do it alone. In this video: ✅ The "Stacking Days" concept and why small daily wins compound ✅ Why faith is the foundation ✅ Family — no matter where you're at in life ✅ Finances — let's be honest about it ✅ Fitness — how it changes everything ✅ Frailty — the one nobody wants to talk about (but the one that matters most) 👉 If this resonated with you, send me a message. Let's build a community of guys who refuse to quit. 📱 Follow on Instagram: [ @STKNGDYS 🔔 Subscribe for more — we're just getting started. #StackingDays #MenGrowth #SelfImprovement #Faith #Fitness #MenCommunity #MensMentalHealth #NoMoreExcuses #BeReal #LevelUp
