    Heart Set: Living in Surrender and Faith

    Episode DescriptionIn this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen continue Season 2 by exploring what it means to have a heart that is truly set on God. Building from Chapter Two of Becoming a Man After God, they introduce the idea of “heart set” versus mindset—arguing that while the mind may be easier to manage, the heart is what ultimately shapes who we become. Through the life of George Müller, Dustin and Luke examine what surrender looks like in real life, especially when obedience requires stepping away from what is safe, expected, or culturally approved. They discuss faith as an action, not just a belief, and wrestle honestly with the tension between trusting God and trying to meet your own needs. The conversation challenges men to stop living on autopilot, stop blaming circumstances or counsel for inaction, and instead live with a heart fully surrendered to God’s leading. The episode closes with a strong call to personal responsibility, cheerful obedience, and giving God not just your behavior—but your heart.

    From History to His Story: Repentance Is the Doorway to Growth

    In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen continue Season 2 by diving into Chapter One of Becoming a Man After God. They reflect on the joy of recording together again, share gratitude for the Men After God community and Patreon supporters, and explain the renewed direction of the ministry—producing free, accessible content while staying surrendered to where God is leading. The conversation centers on what it truly means to be a “man after God’s heart” by examining the life of David. Rather than viewing David as a flawless spiritual hero, Dustin and Luke unpack how David’s identity was shaped by repentance, humility, and persistent pursuit of God—even in failure. They challenge the idea that background or upbringing determines spiritual potential and emphasize personal responsibility, repentance, and ownership as key markers of spiritual maturity. The episode closes with a direct challenge to men: stop blaming your past, take responsibility for your walk with God, and recognize that your relationship with Him will only grow as deep as your willingness to repent.

    Becoming a Man After God in 2026: The 5 Disciplines That Actually Change You

    In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen talk about why most New Year goals die fast and what to do instead. They unpack the difference between setting goals and building daily disciplines, then pull back the curtain on the origin story of Dustin’s book Becoming a Man After God. Dustin shares how a season of overload pushed him to the edge and how one question shifted everything from doing things for God to learning how to do life with God. Together, they challenge men to prioritize what matters, build rhythms that protect their walk with Christ and their families, and pursue holistic stewardship that includes spiritual, mental, and physical health. They close with a simple reflection tool that turns listening into action so growth becomes real and repeatable.

    Season 1 Finale!

    In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen kick off Season 2 by looking back on what God did in Season 1 and casting vision for what is next. They talk honestly about real life constraints, why they are shifting toward shorter episodes, and how the goal stays the same: serve men, strengthen families, and equip leaders with practical, biblical help. A major focus is Dustin’s book Becoming a Man After God and how churches can use it as a mens ministry resource through the included group facilitation guides. They also highlight the value of reflection after listening, the need for rest as worship, and how God sometimes leads by stopping you, not just by accelerating you.
