    Living Life by Design: Break Free from Passivity with Mark Collins | Manlihood

    Too many men find themselves drifting through life, stuck in a cycle of passivity rather than stepping up to take control. But what if you could design your life with purpose instead of just reacting to whatever comes your way? Mark Collins joins us today to challenge men to do exactly that—to lead boldly, break free from self-doubt, and unlock the full potential of who they were created to be. In this episode of Manlihood, host Josh Hatcher sits down with Mark Collins, a business and life coach, pastor, and author of Life Mastery: Living Life by Design, Not by Default. For over 17 years, Mark has helped men break through fear, uncertainty, and limiting beliefs to step into confident leadership in every area of life. He’s sharing the wisdom he’s gained through hard-earned experience—covering everything from faith and marriage to personal growth and mindset shifts that will help you build a life with intention. If you’re ready to stop drifting and start designing the life you were meant to live, this episode will equip you with the strategies and perspective to make it happen. Let’s get into it. Episode Summary: In this episode of Manlihood, host Josh Hatcher sits down with Mark Collins, a business and life coach, pastor, and the founder of Life Mastery. Mark shares how he overcame personal struggles with fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome to develop a framework that helps men break free from passivity and step into bold leadership. Mark discusses the difference between success and fulfillment, how men can overcome disempowering emotions like anxiety and fear, and the importance of identity in personal development. He provides practical tools for creating an identity statement, transforming your thoughts, and building a life by design rather than by default. Throughout the episode, Josh and Mark break down how internal beliefs shape external outcomes, how past experiences can create false identity statements, and how men can shift their mindset to unlock the "hero in hiding." Mark shares wisdom from his Life Mastery course and book, emphasizing the power of self-awareness, personal responsibility, and taking action toward becoming the man you were created to be.

    REPLAY - Saint Nicholas - Testicular Fortitude

    In this replay episode of Manlihood, we’re diving back into the incredible story of Saint Nicholas—a man whose life of courage, conviction, and compassion earned him a rightful place in our Testicular Fortitude Series. Most of us know Santa Claus as a jolly man in red, thanks to 19th-century poets and Coca-Cola ads. But the real St. Nicholas? He was a man of grit, faith, and action—a true example of masculinity worth celebrating. The True Story of St. Nicholas Born in 270 AD in Turkey, Nicholas became a priest, a protector of the vulnerable, and a champion of his faith. Despite persecution and imprisonment under Emperor Diocletian, he never backed down. Miracles and Legends From raising murdered children to life, to calming stormy seas, Nicholas’s life is packed with miraculous stories that highlight his courage and deep faith. The Origin of Stocking Stuffers The tradition of gifts in stockings stems from Nicholas’s compassion. By secretly providing dowries for a poor man’s daughters, he saved them from a grim fate. The Slap Heard Around the World At the Council of Nicaea in 325, Nicholas defended the divinity of Christ so boldly that he slapped a heretic, risking his reputation to stand for the truth. Saint Nicholas wasn’t just about holiday cheer. He was a man of action and courage, using his strength to protect and serve others. His life is an inspiring example of what it means to be a man of character and fortitude. Rediscover the powerful story of the real St. Nicholas, a man whose Testicular Fortitude made him a legend.
