Love it

Jim talks to men in “normal talk”. He’s not politically correct, he’s relatable, and he comes from a place of constant learning. He teaching is based from the Bible and from his mistakes.

Came for the quote, stayed for the show

Google brought this podcast up on my search for Men in the Arena, based on a favorite quote. Started listening a few weeks back and now I can’t stop. Solid teaching biblical and real. So wish I’d heard many of these messages when I was younger.

May not have lived it out well to date, but I still have breath in these lungs and until He calls me home .. I’m staying in the arena!
