    EP 107: The Surprising State of Bible Engagement in Canada with Father Matthew Francis

    Lots of Canadians have access to a Bible. Far fewer actually open it. And even fewer experience what God wants to do through it. In this compelling conversation, Father Matthew Francis, an Orthodox priest in Chilliwack, B.C., and a Regional Director with the Canadian Bible Society, shares with Dean why so many men struggle to engage with Scripture—and why it's never too late to start again. Dean and Matthew dig into the power of simple, consistent habits that shape a man's faith and offer practical, encouraging wisdom for men who feel stuck, distracted, discouraged, or even disqualified from drawing near to God. You'll also hear some fascinating insights from recent research on Bible engagement in Canada, discover why newcomers to this nation are often more engaged with Scripture than lifelong Canadians, and learn about the incredible work being done to translate the Bible into Indigenous languages in our land. If you're a man who's ever struggled to maintain a daily time with God, wondered how to make Bible reading more meaningful, or just want to hear about what God is up to across Canada, this conversation will bless and encourage you!

    EP 106: Should the Church Be Talking About UFOs? with Nathan Zieber

    Why are so many people suddenly talking about UFOs, UAPs, aliens, and the supernatural? And how should Christian men respond? In this fascinating conversation, Jordan is joined by pastor and former private investigator Nathan Zieber, who has spent more than a decade ministering to people wrestling with unexplained phenomena in our world. Together, they explore why the current wave of interest in UFOs and the supernatural presents both challenges and opportunities for the Church. Most importantly, this episode challenges the Church to engage spiritual seekers rather than avoid difficult conversations. As people in our time search for meaning, mystery, and transcendence, Christians have a unique opportunity to point them toward Jesus. Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of faith, unexplained phenomena, and the supernatural, and how Christian men can engage with these matters thoughtfully and biblically.

    EP 105: When Faith Gets Dangerous with Chris Chase

    Let's honestly try to answer a very hard question: What price are you actually willing to pay to follow Jesus? While we in the West generally don't need to grapple with that question to the fullest, we have brothers and sisters all over the world for whom that question is a life-or-death daily reality. In this powerful episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris sits down with Chris Chase of Open Doors Canada to confront what most Western men don't really want or need to face. Through the remarkable legacy of Brother Andrew—"God's Smuggler" who risked everything to deliver Bibles behind enemy lines during the Cold War—Chris and Chris delve into the ongoing story of a global Church under intense pressure, yet also, amazingly, thriving and alive. You'll hear firsthand insights into the lives of believers in places like North Korea, Nigeria, and Iran, where faith can mean imprisonment, violence, or death. Yet instead of fear, these fellow believers choose courage, joy, and unshakable conviction. Their example powerfully challenges our comfort-driven faith that is so common in North America, and invites men to reconsider what trusting and following Jesus really looks like. Don't miss it!

    EP 104: Facing the Future Like a Man with Dr. Joel Murphy

    The future is coming for all of us. It can be scary to think about—but does it need to be? In this thought-provoking conversation, Dean talks with Dr. Joel Murphy of Acadia Divinity College, who invites us into the world of "futuring"—a disciplined, hope-filled way of discerning where culture is headed and how Christian men can respond with wisdom and intentionality. Rather than simply reacting to change, Joel challenges men to recognize emerging trends, imagine possible futures, and step into their God-given calling to help shape what's next. From the rise of AI and the "attention economy" to the growing influence of the online manosphere, Dean and Joel dive into some of the realities shaping modern masculinity. But grounded in a deep confidence in Christ, Dr. Murphy holds the tension between realism and hope—reminding us that while the world is shifting rapidly, God is not. The future is coming for all of us. The question is—what kind of men will face it?

    EP 103: Facing the Friendship Crisis with Steve McCready

    It turns out one of the toughest things about being a man is not one of the most obvious things: How hard it can be to make and keep a friend. When we were boys, friendship often came easier—between school, church, sports, etc., there were just other guys around, and if you were to try and define "how" your best boyhood friendships developed, it would likely be challenging. They just kind of "happened." Fast-forward to adulthood, and those friendships don't seem to "just happen" in the same way anymore. In a time when our online lives often eclipse our in-person encounters, more and more men are finding it hard to meaningfully connect with other men socially. And yet every man knows that he needs brothers around him to journey through life with, to lean on and depend on, to be encouraged and challenged, and to grow. It is a massive problem in our culture, even within the Church—so what are men to do? Enter Steve McCready, a pastor, leader, and friend of Impactus, who was so fascinated by the issue of friendship and faith that he devoted an entire doctorate to researching and writing on it. Steve and Jordan jump into this important conversation, exploring why friendship is so crucial, why many men find friendship so challenging, what the Bible says about it, and some simple, practical steps a man can take to connect with others. This is a common problem with good, easy solutions—don't miss this episode!

    EP 102: Fields, Faith & Father Wounds with Luke Detraz

    Luke Detraz lost his father at an early age, first through divorce and then through his dad's premature death. The loss sent Luke on a journey of pain, loneliness, self-destruction, and wondering where God was in all of it. For years, he carried questions about his identity, his masculinity, and whether he would ever have what it took to make it in this world. God met him powerfully in his brokenness, and through healing, discipleship, restoration, and people placed in his life, Luke was rebuilt into the healthy and godly man he is today. Out of this journey of loss and redemption, Luke has a deep burden for other hurting men and has given his life to helping them find the same healing and grace that Christ extended to him. Luke sits down with Chris on this episode of the Impactus podcast to share his story, his ministry, his new book on masculinity, and to talk about how God meets men in their pain and brings them back to life again.

    EP 101: How to Flourish in a Fragmented World with Heath Hardesty

    In a world of burnout, divided attention, digital overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection, many men have lost sight of the greater story they were meant to inhabit. To help us solve this problem, Heath Hardesty, pastor of Valley Community Church in California, has written All Things Together, a winsome and timely invitation to rediscover that divine story through a reimagined vision of apprenticeship to Jesus—one that brings together the scattered pieces of our lives and cultivates peace in an increasingly divided world. In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Dean and Heath discuss Heath's personal journey, the importance of community, and the role of both gentleness and strength for men in discipleship. The conversation emphasizes the need for spiritual formation rooted in grace and the significance of being present in our relationships with God and others. Whether you're a seeker or a seasoned follower of Jesus, this conversation is worth listening to!
