In this podcast, we explore every aspect of manhood & manliness from a Biblical lens.

    A Christian Vision of the Family, the Household & of the Common Work of Men - Your Work Matters Series

    A Christian Vision of the Family, the Household & of the Common Work of Men - Your Work Matters Series

    My goal in this episode is to contrast the pagan vision of the family, household & work with the Christian vision - and perhaps this is a Christian vision that some of you haven’t considered yet. And so I hope, in doing this, it will bring about some hopefulness. I also have some practical questions to work through for men from young to retired.

    Owning a Business & Changing the World - Your Work Matters Series: Interview with Derek Anderson

    In the episode, I sit down with Derek Anderson, owner of Amber Valley Construction and fellow churchman at Citygate Church in Portage, MI.

    We talk about how a conquering Christian worldview changes how we live, work & rule in this life. Derek tells us about his near-death story, his pathway to owning a successful business, his 500 year plan, and his motivation for running for a civil magistrate position.

I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Dr Jon over the last several years. On a personal level he is honest, levelheaded, and trustworthy. From a physical therapy/fitness perspective I’ve seen him get amazing results for patients. He goes above and beyond in researching potential treatments. Excited to learn from the podcast!
