    Does Christianity Make Men Weak? | with Ryan Miller

    Have men become weak, or have we simply forgotten what real strength looks like? Culture keeps handing men two bad options: be loud, aggressive, and impossible to control, or be quiet, passive, and out of the way. Neither one looks like Jesus. In this episode of the Gaining Ground podcast, Landon sits down with Ryan Miller, author of Meek Is a Mustang, to unpack the confusion so many men feel about their own identity. They talk about the "pendulum" men swing on between toxic masculinity and passivity, why testosterone and physical fitness have declined so sharply in young men, and how the enemy uses passivity (not just aggression) to sideline men from the fights that matter most — in their homes, their marriages, and issues like abortion. Ryan shares his own story: growing up in isolation, chasing validation through baseball and a Hollywood documentary deal, and the moment God told him to walk away from a project worth millions. That obedience led him to discover that the biblical word for "meek" is the Greek word used to describe taming a wild Mustang — not weakness, but strength fully surrendered and made useful. This is not a call to soften up. It's a call to get off the pendulum, stop performing manhood, and let God do the taming so you can actually be useful to Him. If you've ever felt like following Jesus meant losing your edge, this conversation will change how you see biblical strength for good.

    The NEW Fitness Blueprint for Christian Men

    Fitness is not just about looking better. For Christian men, it is about stewardship, discipline, leadership, and learning to bring every part of your life under the lordship of Jesus. In this episode of the Gaining Ground podcast, Landon sits down with Hunter Sprague from Monolith Movement to talk about why so many men neglect their physical health, what the Bible actually says about bodily training, and why taking care of your body is not vanity; it is discipleship. They talk about dad bods, gluttony, discipline, weight loss, lifting, diet, steps, hormones, CrossFit, GLP-1s, TRT, and the deeper mindset shift Christian men need in 2026. This is not a shame-filled conversation. It is a wake-up call. If your body is out of order, it will eventually affect your energy, your leadership, your marriage, your parenting, your ministry, and your ability to carry the weight God has placed on your life. You do not need to become obsessed with fitness. But you do need to stop pretending your body does not matter. It is time to take ownership, build discipline, and start gaining ground physically. IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 - Why Christian Men Need a Fitness Wake-Up Call 01:30 - Fitness, Stewardship, and Following Jesus 07:17 - Hunter’s Story and the Start of Monolith Movement 11:23 - Why So Many Men Are Physically Unhealthy 19:33 - What the Bible Says About Bodily Training 26:36 - Why Your Body Is a Discipleship Issue 32:37 - Fitness, Discipline, and Avoiding Extremes 39:04 - How to Start Getting Healthy Today 44:12 - Simple Fitness Habits for Busy Men 54:20 - Diet, Calories, and Enjoying Food with Discipline 01:01:03 - CrossFit, 10,000 Steps, Creatine, GLP-1s, and TRT 🚀 START HERE!

    Men's Mental Health Expert: Why Men Aren't Happy In 2026

    A lot of men look successful on the outside but feel stuck, angry, anxious, or empty on the inside. They have the job, the family, the goals, the discipline, and the image of strength, but still find themselves wondering why none of it seems to produce peace. In this episode of Gaining Ground, Landon and Drew sit down with Trey Tucker, founder of Rugged Counseling, to talk about men’s mental health, identity, purpose, anxiety, emotional maturity, and what it actually looks like for men to get healthy without becoming soft, passive, or self-absorbed.

He explains why success cannot become your identity, why distraction keeps men from becoming who God called them to be, and how anxiety and depression often function like a check engine light for the soul.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be happy but you’re not, this episode will help you slow down, look under the hood, and take the next honest step toward health.

    I went to PRISON…& got uncomfortable with GRACE! | ft. Jake Bodine, God Behind Bars

    Most people think prison is where freedom ends. But for MILLIONS of incarcerated men and women, prison became the place where they finally encountered the grace of God.

    Don't WASTE Your Life Chasing Success (It's NOT Worth It!)

    Success today does not guarantee fulfillment tomorrow. A lot of men are exhausted, constantly connected, and quietly running on empty. We live in an age of hustle culture, nonstop productivity, and always being available, but the truth is many men are burning out while chasing a version of success that still leaves them restless. In this episode of Gaining Ground, we talk honestly about burnout, pressure, rhythm, and the pace of modern life. We unpack why so many men feel emotionally exhausted, spiritually drained, and constantly behind, even while accomplishing more than ever before. This conversation explores how technology, work culture, and misplaced priorities can slowly pull men away from what matters most. We also discuss the biblical idea of Sabbath and rest, why stopping is an act of trust, and how healthy rhythms help men lead their families, protect their minds, and build lives that actually last. From Jesus’ example of rest to practical frameworks like “rest weekly, depart monthly, abandon annually,” let’s get some practical wisdom for men who want to overcome burnout without checking out on responsibility. If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, distracted, or emotionally stretched thin, this conversation will help you rethink success, reset your priorities, and build a healthier rhythm for the long haul. IN THIS EPISODE: 0:00 – Do You Trust God Enough To Rest? 1:49 – How Men Define Success and Legacy 6:55 – Why Your Pace Shapes Your Purpose 8:50 – Why So Many Men Are Burned Out 14:52 – Why You Are Not a Robot 16:21 – Advice on Burnout From a Dying Man 19:16 – What the Bible Says About Rest and Sabbath 24:50 – How To Deal With Busy Seasons 30:02 – Men & Purpose: Are You Aiming at the Right Target? 36:58 – 3 Rhythms to Overcome Burnout 🚀 START HERE!

    What The Bible Says About Business | Mukwenda Kandole, Faithustle

    What does the Bible say about business? How should Christian entrepreneurs, business leaders, and professionals think about faith, work, stewardship, integrity, and success in the marketplace? In this episode of Gaining Ground, Ps. Landon and Drew sit down with Mukwenda Kandole, founder of the Faithustle movement, for a practical conversation about building a business God’s way.

We also talk about the temptation to compartmentalize life, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why growing people may be one of the most overlooked keys to lasting impact in business.
