    S1 E43: The Restoration of Man: A Journey Into Identity, Healing and God-Anchored Masculinity

    What happens when a man realizes that achievement, performance, and simply pushing through are no longer enough? Eli Brackenbury returns to Lead Empowered TV for a deeply personal conversation about identity, healing, faith, masculinity, and what it means for a man to be restored from the inside out. Building on the spiritual awakening that began at age 50, Eli shares the message behind his new book, The Restoration of Man: A Journey Into Identity, Healing and God-Anchored Masculinity. We explore why so many men reach midlife feeling disconnected or uncertain about who they have become, how unresolved wounds can shape relationships and leadership, and why midlife can become the beginning of a new calling rather than simply a crisis. Eli also discusses identity in Christ, purpose, spiritual strength, and the importance of moving beyond performance toward genuine wholeness. We also celebrate a new chapter in Eli’s journey as the Founding Speaker in the Faith & Purpose category at Speak Empowered. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to rediscover your identity, purpose, or faith, this conversation is for you.
