    Ep. 82 Sunday Message - Are You Burying What God Gave You?

    Send us Fan Mail Your calendar is full. You work hard. People depend on you. But here’s a question worth sitting with: What are you doing with what God has given you - and whose purposes are you serving? In this Sunday Message, Kevin explores Jesus’ parable of the bags of gold in Matthew 25:14–30. Three servants receive different amounts. Two put their master’s resources to work. One buries what he’s been entrusted with. That story invites an honest examination of our own lives: our abilities, resources, relationships, experience, and the responsibilities we keep putting off. Inspired by a message from Phillip Michael Anthony, Kevin challenges men to recognize where busyness, comparison, and fear may be keeping them from faithful action. He also explores the quiet ways we can serve God through ordinary work, marriage, fatherhood, friendship, and generosity. In this episode: ·      A complete walkthrough of the parable—no Bible knowledge required. ·      What “talents” means in the story and how stewardship applies to your life. ·      How a packed schedule can conceal neglected responsibilities. ·      Why comparing your gifts with another man’s can keep you standing still. ·      How to take a faithful step while you still feel afraid. ·      A challenging question: Do the people closest to you experience your best? ·      What growing patience, integrity, generosity, and love can look like. ·      Why your experience still has value in the second half of life.   Your seven-day challenge: Write down one thing God has entrusted to you, one way you’ve neglected or misdirected it, one person you can serve, and one specific action you’ll take this week. Then ask a trusted Christian brother to follow up. You may already have a name - and an overdue conversation - in mind. Scripture: Matthew 25:14–30 Message inspiration: Phillip Michael Anthony’s teaching on the parable of the talents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0z5upisin4   If this message brings another man to mind, share it with him. It could start a conversation you both need. 📣 Ready to Go Deeper?

    Ep. 81 A Stranger in My Kitchen at 3 AM: Are You Ready to Protect Your Family?

    Send us Fan Mail A stranger in your kitchen at 3 a.m. A gym machine that nearly folds you in half. And a pickleball meme that hits a little too close to home. Just another week on The Alpha Edge Podcast. Kevin English and Coach Russell Medeiros are back with a conversation that moves from gym-floor humility to a serious question: If something happened at home tonight, would your family know what to do? Kevin shares the bizarre true story of waking up to find a stranger standing in his kitchen - wearing a towel and eating his salad. The situation ended without violence, but it raises some uncomfortable questions about preparation, judgment, and the responsibility of protecting the people you love. Drawing on his experience as a police officer, Russell shares his perspective on family emergency plans, staying composed under pressure, and why owning a firearm and being prepared for a crisis are two different things. Along the way, the guys debate what qualifies as a truck, defend their pickleball credentials, and talk honestly about balancing strength training, athleticism, and recovery after 50. Russell also delivers an old-man tattoo rant that probably won’t earn him a sponsorship from your local ink shop. In this episode: Humbled by a squat machine: Kevin’s introduction to the pendulum squat turns into a battle for dignity.Getting a grip: The rope handles Kevin has been using for carries, pull-ups, and jiu-jitsu preparation.Man card: approved or revoked? Cybertrucks and Honda Ridgelines enter the courtroom.Pickleball vs. the 225-pound bench press: A meme sparks a discussion about ego, strength, and training for the life you actually want.The recovery reality: Jiu-jitsu, lifting, and pickleball all sound great—until your body asks to see the schedule.Home protection beyond equipment: Family communication, escape plans, cameras, and an honest assessment of your readiness.Decisions you can’t take back: The human consequences of misreading a dangerous situation.  Your challenge this week Have the conversation you’ve been putting off. Does your family have an emergency plan? Does everyone know how to get out and get help? Then take a look at your screen time. Kevin and Russell are challenging each other to bring theirs down this week. Join them—and put some of those minutes toward something worth doing. Where could your edge use some sharpening?

    Ep. 80 Sunday Message: Who’s Governing Your Strength - Your Ego or God?

    Send us Fan Mail Does being a meek man mean being spineless, passive, or easy to push around? Host Kevin English used to struggle with Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:5: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” He wanted to be strong, courageous, and dependable. Meekness didn’t sound like something to aspire to. In this return of the Sunday episodes of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Kevin explores biblical meekness - and what it asks of men when their pride gets bruised, their judgment gets questioned, or a difficult conversation needs to happen. From Psalm 37 to the example of Jesus, this episode explores strength surrendered to God, governed by the Spirit, and used for the good of others. Because being strong includes taking responsibility for how you use that strength. In this episode: Why Matthew 5:5 makes more sense when you read it alongside Psalm 37.How “be strong” and “let all that you do be done in love” belong together.What Jesus teaches us about courage, gentleness, and restraint.How meekness gets tested in marriage, public disagreements, and necessary confrontations.Three qualities to cultivate: courage to act, humility to submit, and discipline to restrain yourself.Five practical ways to grow in meekness, including “Pause. Pray. Proceed.”How to take responsibility and repair the damage when you get it wrong.A question to carry into your week: When you’re angry, challenged, or criticized, who’s directing your next move—your ego, your fear, or the God you say you follow? Your challenge this week: Read Psalm 37. Identify one area where your strength needs to be surrendered to God. Then choose one practice from this episode and apply it to a specific situation. Maybe you need to listen without immediately defending yourself. Maybe you need to slow down before responding. Or maybe you need the courage to have a conversation you’ve been avoiding. Choose one area. Bring it to God. Take the next faithful step. Share this conversation: If this episode brings a friend to mind, share it with him. And follow The Alpha Edge Podcast for more conversations about becoming stronger men - physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and spiritually. 📣 Ready to Go Deeper?

    Ep. 79 Pheromone Soap, Killer Robots & the Algorithm Stealing Your Life

    Send us Fan Mail The Alpha Edge Podcast is back - and Kevin has $160 worth of pheromone soap to explain  Join Kevin English and returning co-host Coach Russell Medeiros for a conversation that starts with basketball controversy, takes a detour through questionable footwear and killer robots, and lands on a question worth asking yourself: Are you choosing how to spend your time - or is your phone choosing for you? Kevin confesses to falling for an ad promising soap that would drive his wife wild. Spoiler - the subscription worked better than the pheromones. Russell weighs in on when Crocs deserve a man-card review, and an AI-generated Fight Club trailer gets Kevin’s hopes up before reality intervenes. Then the guys get honest about something both are working on - mindless scrolling, the content they consume, and how quickly “just a couple of minutes” turns into another chunk of life they won’t get back. If you’ve ever picked up your phone between tasks and resurfaced 20 minutes later wondering what happened, this conversation is for you.

    Ep. 79 Sunday Message: An Unbeliever's Guide to Christianity

    Send us Fan Mail What if Christianity is true? Not helpful. Not inspiring. Not comforting. True. In this special Sunday episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin speaks directly to skeptics, doubters, agnostics, atheists, and men who have never seriously examined the claims of Christianity for themselves. This is not a debate. It's not a political discussion. And it's not about religion. It's about truth. Together, we'll explore the most important questions a man can ask: Does God exist? Is the Bible trustworthy? Who was Jesus really? What does Christianity actually teach about salvation? What's the difference between religion and a relationship with God? Why does Jesus demand a response from every man? And what does it mean to make Jesus both Savior and Lord? Whether you've spent your entire life in church or you've spent years rejecting Christianity, this episode challenges you to honestly investigate the claims of Christ for yourself. Because at the end of the day, the most important question you'll ever answer isn't political, financial, or even physical. It's spiritual. Who do YOU say Jesus is? Key Takeaways Truth does not require our approval. Christianity isn't man's attempt to reach God. Christianity is God's rescue mission to reach man. Jesus didn't come to make bad men good. He came to make dead men alive. Every man must eventually answer the same question Jesus asked 2,000 years ago: "Who do you say that I am?" The strongest thing a man can ever do is surrender his life to Jesus Christ. Scriptures Mentioned Isaiah 55:8-9Matthew 16:13-17John 3:16Romans 3:23Ephesians 2:8-9Romans 10:132 Corinthians 5:17  If this episode raised questions for you, start by reading the Gospel of John with an open mind and an honest heart. Ask yourself one question: "Is this true?" And don't be afraid to bring your doubts, questions, and concerns directly to God in prayer.

    Ep. 78 - At 61, I Walked Into a Jiu Jitsu Gym… and It Changed My Life

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a 61-year-old man with zero martial arts experience walks into a Brazilian jiu jitsu gym for the very first time? Apparently… he gets smashed, humbled, exhausted, mildly traumatized… and completely hooked.   In this episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin shares the story of stepping onto the mats for the first time at age 61 — and why learning jiu jitsu became one of the most impactful decisions of his life.   This isn’t really an episode about fighting. It’s an episode about challenge. Brotherhood. Growth. Confidence. Humility. And refusing to mentally retire after 50.   Kevin opens up about: The intimidation of starting something completely new later in lifeShowing up to his first class wearing the wrong clothesGetting repeatedly tapped out by younger menExperiencing real panic and discomfort during live roundsWhy modern men desperately need hard things againThe power of brotherhood and shared struggleHow martial arts build confidence, resilience, and composure under pressureWhy becoming “dangerous” is different than becoming aggressiveThe surprising crossover benefits jiu jitsu can have on energy, vitality, and swaggerHow men over 50 can start martial arts safely and intelligentlyWhy you are NOT too old to begin again  Whether you’ve secretly thought about trying jiu jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, or any other martial art — or whether you simply feel stuck, stagnant, or disconnected from challenge — this episode is a call to step back into growth.   Because your best years are NOT automatically behind you.  You are still allowed to evolve. Still allowed to struggle. Still allowed to become stronger. Still allowed to surprise yourself. And maybe your next great adventure starts the moment you stop talking yourself out of it.   Listener Challenge This week, visit a martial arts gym. Watch a class. Talk to the coaches. Try a beginner session.  Go become a beginner again. You might rediscover a part of yourself that’s been waiting a long time to come back to life. And if you do – shoot me an email and let me know how it goes.

    Ep. 77 Why So Many Men Never Become Men

    Send us Fan Mail Men are struggling. Not just physically. Not just financially. But spiritually, emotionally, and developmentally. In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Alpha Edge Podcast, Coach Kevin tackles one of the most uncomfortable — and important — conversations in modern culture: Why do so many males today reach adulthood… without ever truly becoming men? This is NOT another angry “manosphere” rant. And it’s definitely not an attack on women. Instead, this episode explores the growing imbalance between masculine and feminine energy in modern culture — and the devastating consequences of fatherlessness, the collapse of masculine initiation, and the disappearance of grounded male leadership. Coach Kevin shares his own story of growing up in a divorced household, becoming dependent on female validation, and struggling to understand what authentic masculinity actually looked like. Along the way, he breaks down: The fatherlessness crisis in AmericaWhy boys desperately need masculine mentorshipThe feminization of modern institutionsThe cultural suppression of masculine traitsWhy initiation into manhood has disappearedThe difference between healthy masculinity and toxic masculinityWhy so many modern men feel lost, passive, anxious, and directionlessWhat mature masculine leadership should actually look likeHow strong men can help heal culture without becoming bitter or extremeThis episode is thoughtful, nuanced, honest, and challenging — especially for men who know deep down they were built for more than comfort, distraction, and passive existence. If you’ve ever felt like modern culture is confused about masculinity… If you’ve struggled with purpose, validation, passivity, or direction… Or if you simply want to become a stronger, steadier, more grounded man… …this episode is for you.

    Ep. 76 Sunday message: In a World of Lies, People Are Craving Truth

    Send us Fan Mail Something strange seems to be happening right now.   Church attendance is reportedly rising for the first time in decades. More people are openly talking about faith again. And in a culture drowning in confusion, distraction, outrage, and artificial realities… many people seem to be searching for something solid.   Something eternal.   Something true.   In this powerful Alpha Edge Sunday episode, Coach Kevin explores the growing hunger for Christianity and spiritual grounding in modern America — and why so many men seem drawn toward faith, purpose, discipline, and truth right now.   This isn’t a political rant. It’s a deeper conversation about why modern culture feels spiritually exhausting… and why revival may be quietly stirring beneath the surface.   Kevin discusses: Why modern life feels increasingly unstable and disconnectedAI, media manipulation, and the collapse of trustWhy men are starving for purpose, structure, and meaningThe difference between biblical masculinity and internet “alpha male” nonsenseWhy revival starts in homes — not stadiumsHow mature Christian men can lead with strength, humility, courage, and compassionThe danger of confusing outrage with spiritual maturityPractical ways men can become grounded spiritual leaders in chaotic times  This episode is a call for men to reject passivity, stop drifting, and become the kind of calm, disciplined, truth-filled leaders their families and communities desperately need.   Because maybe the world doesn’t need more noise right now.   Maybe it needs more grounded, faithful men willing to quietly live the truth.   Resources & Links Follow Coach Kevin on Instagram: @AlphaEdgeArmyDownload the Alpha Edge Battle Planner Guide: https://app.box.com/s/4pwqjc1dab7cpgmgk7ytj75zw3tpg9cw  If This Episode Spoke to You… Please consider leaving a 5-star review and sharing the show with a friend.
