Men After God is a Christian podcast for men who want to lead well at home, at work, and in their own hearts. It's for husbands and fathers who work hard, go to church, and still feel like nobody ever showed them how to lead the people they love. Three hosts bring plain, Bible-grounded conversation on God, marriage, fatherhood, work, and brotherhood, with one thing you can put into practice this week. Don't be a perfect man. Be a pursuing man. WHO IT'S FOR The man who loves his family and wants to lead them better. The dad who snapped at his kids again and wants to know why. The husband who keeps fixing problems when his wife needs him to listen. The guy with plenty of acquaintances and nobody to call when it falls apart. The pastor or men's ministry leader looking for something honest to hand the men in his church. HOW IT WORKS Each host records on his own, so every episode goes deep on one idea from one man's lane instead of skimming ten. Every so often all three sit down together. No hype and no performance, just men telling the truth about where they are and pointing other men back to Christ. MEET THE HOSTS Adrian Ferrari: Wisdom and Daily Discipline Adrian pastors a church, planted churches before that, and served as a missionary in Argentina. He teaches straight through the text, verse by verse, most often in Proverbs: integrity, self-control, the tongue, humility at home, and the slow drift that takes a man down long before anyone notices. Luke Sorensen: Inner Healing and Relational Repair Luke is an emotional intelligence coach and has co-hosted since season two. He brings a coach's language to the things men carry and rarely say out loud: shame and identity, grief and trauma, forgiveness, boundaries, apology, and rebuilding trust after it breaks. Then he puts Scripture underneath it. Dustin Alley: Leading Yourself, Your Home, and Your Men Dr. Dustin Alley is a Marine Corps veteran, a pastor, and the author of Becoming a Man After God. He teaches the disciplines that hold when nobody is watching, what a wife and children need from a man, and how to go from having friends to having brothers. He also speaks to pastors and church leaders rebuilding their men's ministry. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR Christian marriage: listening, conflict, humility, and loving your wife well Christian fatherhood: being present, handling anger, and passing down something better than you were handed Faith and work: integrity, discipline, and the stewardship of your time Men's emotional and mental health from a biblical view: shame, grief, loneliness, and burnout Brotherhood and discipleship: real friendship between men, mentoring, and men's ministry Bible study for men: Proverbs and practical wisdom for ordinary days WHERE TO START Why Men Feel Alone (Even at Church) Breaking the Lies Men Believe: Shame, Identity, and Freedom in Christ Real Strength Is Self-Control: What Proverbs 15 Teaches Christian Men About Their Words Follow the show so the next one lands in your feed.

    Carrying It Home: Faith for Men Who Served

    Season 3, Episode 3 Some of you came home carrying something other men paid for. On the Marine Corps birthday and the eve of Veterans Day, Dustin Alley, a veteran of two deployments to Afghanistan, takes the man who served and the man a few rows back from him to 2 Samuel 23, where David pours out a cup of water three of his men risked their lives to bring him. Three takeaways: 1. What other men paid for is too costly to waste. You can drink it (live off of it, or numb it), dump it (put it in a box that doesn't stay shut), or pour it out to the LORD: name it out loud before God, with men standing beside you. 2. Some of what you carry is guilt, and you can't pour that out on your own. David's list of heroes ends with Uriah, the man he had killed, and God kept His covenant with David anyway. The cup Jesus poured out in Matthew 26 is the one sacrifice you are meant to receive. 3. Don't stop at thank you for your service. This week, call a man who served: take him to breakfast, write him a note by hand, mow his lawn, sit with him. If you are thinking about ending your life, or you are worried about a veteran who is, dial 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. Scripture: 2 Samuel 23, 1 Samuel 22, 2 Samuel 11 and 12, Matthew 26.

    Drift: How Good Men Wreck Their Lives Slowly

    Season 3, Episode 2 Men don't wake up in the morning and decide to wreck their lives. Adrian Ferrari shows how good men drift a little at a time, and how to interrupt it before everybody else sees the damage. Three takeaways: 1. Drift does not need a plan. Hebrews 2:1 warns that drift is possible. Adrian's picture is a boat that only has to stop correcting its course. Watch for the words that cover it: we're both tired, I've been busy, next week it'll slow down. 2. Small choices set the direction. Adrian used to weigh 400 pounds and had weight loss surgery, and the Kit Kat bar or the protein shake was still his choice. David's public disaster in 2 Samuel 11 began with private decisions. 3. Interrupt it in the next 24 hours. Make a phone call, put one honest conversation on the calendar, and confess one thing. Apologize without a but, and ask for help instead of handling it alone. Scripture: Hebrews 2:1, Proverbs 4:23, 2 Samuel 11, Psalm 51. Chapters: 0:00 Cold open: the greatest myth in manhood 0:49 Welcome 1:47 Even good men drift 2:36 Hebrews 2:1 and the boat that stops correcting 3:02 What drift sounds like 4:51 Your marriage is not on autopilot 5:21 400 pounds and the little choices 6:18 On fire after a conference, quiet a month later 7:42 Snapping at his wife over the windows 8:26 Home, but not present 8:52 When a pastor drifts 9:21 What repeated choices are shaping you? (Proverbs 4:23) 10:18 David in 2 Samuel 11 11:59 Hiding is not the way back (Psalm 51) 12:26 Name it before the consequences grow 13:23 The greatest myth in manhood 13:51 What change will cost you 14:46 Listening but not hearing 15:11 Drift can be interrupted 15:40 Make the phone call 16:38 Your next 24 hours Hosted by Adrian Ferrari.

    We’re Back: Why Are We Even Qualified to Speak?

    Season 3, Episode 1 Men After God is back with its first new episode since April, and Adrian Ferrari puts a loaded question to all three hosts: if we are not the best fathers, husbands, or Christians, why are we even qualified to speak? Dustin Alley, Luke Sorensen and Adrian answer it from what they have been through, and lay out what changes this time: each man in his own lane, a couple of episodes a week, and less of a script. Three takeaways: 1. Get connected outside the room. Luke's men's ministry has about 40 men engaged in its activities and several hundred men of the church who aren't, so he is moving away from event men's ministry. His rule of 33: one man ahead of you who can mentor you, one beside you who holds you accountable, and one you pour into. 2. Ask the question under the question. At a young pastor's ordination, Adrian asked who was investing in him, then pushed further: what has he told you that you didn't like to hear, and how did you handle it? 3. Where you have failed and grieved is where you can help. Adrian's backslide and the loss of his father are what let him sit across from a man in the same place. In his words, "the only person that's been able to walk with us and take us there is the Lord."

    The 5-Pillar Framework Every Christian Man Needs (Ditching Cookie-Cutter Faith)

    Are you tired of "cookie-cutter Christianity"? Many Christian men feel exhausted and guilty, trying to squeeze their life into a rigid spiritual system that wasn’t designed for their wiredness or current season of life. In this powerful transition episode, Dr. Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen address the dangerous distinction between a rigid "system" and a customizable "framework." Using examples from bad marriage counseling to the ideal time for devotions, they explore how to stop copying other people's spiritual habits and start following Jesus as the man God uniquely made you to be. If deepen your relationship with Jesus is your foundation, this framework provides the architectural necessary to hold up the other essential areas of your life. We introduce the five areas every Christian man must schedule into his week—and if you can't find room for these five, you are overbooked. In this episode, we break down: The "Perfectly Normal" Trap: Celebrated 4,000 downloads and a humbling anecdote from an Easter lunch that confronted Dustin's pride.System vs. Framework: Why cookie-cutter approaches fail under pressure, and how to find freedom in a customizable Biblical framework.A philosophical Friday night text: Dustin dives deep on why we must learn to live from the love of Jesus rather than pursuing it.Luke’s Struggles: Why developing self and delivering value are easy for him, but devoting time to family and "doing nothing" requires intense intentionality.The Permission Slip: Giving you permission to obey the Holy Spirit’s promptings, even when your season of obedience looks different from the man in the pew next to you.The 5-Pillar Framework Identified:We define the five pillars you need to maintain balance, authority, and peace: Deepen your relationship with Jesus (The Foundation)Devote time to your familyDevelop yourselfDeliver value to othersDo nothing for Jesus (The essential "brain glitch" statement on Sabbath and Rest).Have a question or want to share how the framework is working for you?
