    Why Strong Men Are Losing Their Way

    In a world where truth is twisted, platforms are loud, and every opinion competes for attention, many men have unknowingly lost their grip on discernment. They’re outsourcing conviction to influencers instead of anchoring their beliefs in God’s Word. If you’ve ever felt confused by conflicting voices or uncertain about what’s true, this episode is your wake-up call. Join the Free Men of Greatness Brotherhood here: https://www.skool.com/men-of-greatness Ryan James Miller confronts the silent crisis eroding the foundation of modern manhood—the loss of biblical discernment. He challenges listeners to stop chasing viral opinions and start standing on timeless truth. With candor and conviction, Ryan unpacks how even well-intentioned Christian men have begun to let algorithms, personalities, and cultural noise shape their faith more than Scripture. Through biblical wisdom and real-world reflection, Ryan introduces his STAND Framework—a five-step process for reclaiming spiritual clarity and moral courage: Seek Truth before reacting.Test Voices instead of trusting popularity.Act Boldly on conviction, not convenience.Never Compromise for comfort or approval.Declare Faithfully with love and humility. One powerful insight stands out: “Truth isn’t found in trending topics. It’s found in timeless Scripture.” This episode calls out the dangers of outsourcing conviction, challenges men to think critically and biblically, and reminds us that true leadership begins when we align our lives with God’s truth—not public opinion. If you’re ready to be a man God can trust, a man who leads with strength, wisdom, and integrity, this conversation will show you how to stand firm in faith when the world wavers.
