    192: Live Call Q&A: Date Again After Divorce? "I'm Not Attracted to My Wife" & Unity in Church

    In this BraveCo live Q&A, I sit down with a few brave men who ask the questions most guys keep to themselves. We talk about what it really looks like to lead as a single dad, how to know if you are actually ready to date again after divorce, and how to invite someone into your family without sacrificing your kids in the process. I share my own story of betrayal, navigating divorce and eventually blending a family, and the difference between simply “moving on” and truly “moving forward.” We also dive into one of the most vulnerable questions a husband can ask: “What do I do when I am not as attracted to my wife after kids?” Together we unpack how bodies change, how life stress and kids affect desire, and why emotional and spiritual connection are often the real drivers of attraction in a long term marriage. I give practical ways to pursue your wife’s heart again, rebuild connection, and invite her into a health journey without shaming her or shutting down. Finally, we talk about unity in the Church and how to bring pastors and leaders together across denominations for prayer and real relationship. I share how I think about influence, trust and momentum, and give some simple steps to start gathering leaders in your city without it becoming weird, political or divisive. If you are a man who wants to lead your family well, love your wife deeply and stand for your city with other believers, this conversation will speak directly to you.

    191: Should Christians Carry Guns? Violence in America and the Spirit Behind It

    I sat down with my brother and longtime friend Cole Zick, we found ourselves wrestling with one question: What’s the role of a man in a world that seems to be falling apart? From mass shootings to moral confusion, we’re watching violence rise in ways that test our faith, courage, and leadership. This conversation isn’t about politics — it’s about calling men back to their God-given design to protect, heal, and lead with emotional and spiritual maturity. In this episode, Cole and I dive deep into what real protection looks like — not just carrying a weapon, but cultivating the emotional composure to de-escalate conflict, protect your family, and lead your community with integrity. We talk about how unhealed pain fuels chaos, how churches can prepare wisely without fear, and why it’s time for men to master both strength and tenderness. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a wake-up call to become the kind of men the world actually needs right now — men who carry wisdom, humility, and power under control. Stick around to the end; I share a personal story that’ll make you laugh and think about what courage really looks like when your family’s on the line.

    190: Wealth & Finances Series: What If Your Money Problems Aren’t About Money? | Stephen De Silva

    I sit down with my friend Stephen De Silva, creator of The Prosperous Soul and former CFO at Bethel Church. We talk about something most men never realize — that our financial struggles are rarely about money. They’re about what’s happening inside our hearts and minds. Stephen helps us unpack the connection between the soul and wealth, revealing how your mindset and theology can either limit or multiply what God wants to do in your finances. I share a bit of my own story — moments when I thought “we just need more money,” but the truth was, I hadn’t planted any new seeds. There was no stewardship, no multiplication, just waiting for a miracle. Stephen challenges that mindset head-on, teaching how to align our internal world with the mind of Christ, and how to grow capacity through protection, provision, and identity. We talk practicals too: creating multiple streams of income, overcoming fear around money, and learning to be both shrewd as a serpent and innocent as a dove. If you’ve ever felt stuck financially or wondered how to build true prosperity that lasts for generations, this conversation will light a fire in you. Whether you’re trying to climb out of debt, launch a new income stream, or teach your kids how to steward money God’s way, this is your roadmap to becoming a man who prospers from the inside out. 👉 Subscribe, comment your biggest takeaway, and check out Stephen’s resources at prosperoussoul.com Chapters: 00:00 – Welcome to the BraveCo Podcast 00:15 – What if your financial struggle isn’t about money? 02:10 – How your internal world shapes your wealth 04:00 – The serpent and the dove: Jesus’ financial wisdom 06:50 – Getting bold about your budget and debt 09:00 – Creating new streams of income 12:10 – You can’t save your way to prosperity 17:10 – Building capacity: protection, provision, identity 23:30 – Passing financial wisdom to the next generation 27:45 – Teaching your sons and daughters about money 35:00 – Final challenge: multiply what God’s given you CONNECT WITH BRAVECO Website: https://www.braveco.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.men Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/ Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

    189: Wealth & Finances Series: The Skillset That Can Increase Your Income // Ryan Pineda

    When I sat down with my friend @RyanPineda , I knew this episode was going to be packed with truth, but I didn’t expect the level of raw honesty and practical wisdom he brought. Ryan’s story starts where a lot of us have been—broke, uncertain, and wondering what God’s plan really looks like when the dream we’ve been chasing falls apart. From playing professional baseball to flipping couches just to survive, Ryan shows what it looks like when faith collides with grit. Connect with Ryan: https://ryanpineda.com/ What I love about this conversation is how real Ryan is about risk, failure, and obedience. He talks about maxing out $50,000 in credit cards to flip his first house—trusting that if it didn’t work out, God would still provide. That decision became a turning point, birthing multiple businesses, social-media influence, and a mission to raise up Kingdom entrepreneurs through Tentmakers. His success didn’t come from playing it safe; it came from partnering with God and being willing to move even when it didn’t make sense. If you’ve ever felt stuck—financially, spiritually, or emotionally—this episode will challenge you to take inventory of your skill set, your mindset, and your faith. We talk about how to identify the next skill that will multiply your income, how to break the fear of risk, and how obedience always leads to blessing. This one’s for every man who knows there’s more in him, but just needs the courage to take that next step.

    188: Wealth & Finances Series with Kris Vallotton: Unlocking the Secret to Building Wealth God’s Way | Practical Steps for Every Man

    Welcome back to the Brave Co Podcast, men. This week, we're diving into an essential topic that can transform your life: wealth and prosperity. For so many of us, the idea of wealth might have been twisted through negative experiences, bad teachings, or a lack of understanding. We’ve all heard that money is the root of evil, but what does the Bible really say about wealth? Is there a difference between greed and prosperity? In this episode, we’re not just talking about the financial side of prosperity, but also the deeper, spiritual aspects of wealth. Wealth, according to scripture, isn’t just money—it’s a mindset and a way of living that affects every part of who you are. As I talk with my dad, Kris Vallotton, we break down the real meaning of wealth in God's eyes and how to shift your mindset. We also explore the importance of having a clear plan for your financial future, as well as a powerful perspective on stewardship and generosity. One of the key takeaways from today’s episode is the need to embrace prosperity in every area of life—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Prosperity isn’t just about accumulation; it’s about freedom, peace, and the ability to bless others. God wants to partner with you in building wealth, but first, you must learn to steward it well and let go of limiting beliefs that have held you back. In this conversation, we tackle the practical side of prosperity. From giving generously to understanding how money works for you (and not the other way around), we lay out actionable steps to start building wealth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of scarcity, this episode is for you. We're going to help you break free from those limiting mindsets and start living in the abundance God has designed for you. Take the first step today toward transforming your mindset, finances, and life. Get ready to dive in!

    186: The Difference Between Man’s Quick Fixes and God’s Purposeful, Slow-Burn Anointing

    In this powerful message from the Brave Co. Conference, I dive into the life of David, exploring the incredible journey from being an unseen shepherd to a king chosen by God. If you've ever felt overlooked or underappreciated, this message is for you. We’ll examine the life lessons David teaches us about faithfulness when no one is watching, trusting God’s perfect timing, and how God chooses the least likely to succeed. I share a raw, personal reflection of my own high school days, feeling overlooked and not fitting into the mold of success others expected of me. Just like David, I didn’t look the part, but I’ve learned that it’s not about how we appear to others—it’s about being faithful in the moments that matter, even when no one is watching. God sees the heart, and that’s what He’s looking for in you. As we journey through David’s life, we also confront the lessons of insecurity, fear, and pride. Saul’s story of anointing with the flask contrasts sharply with David’s anointing with the horn, symbolizing a process of perseverance and obedience. God isn’t after instant success or popularity; He’s after a heart that’s been tested, shaped, and ready to carry His anointing into the kingdom. This episode will encourage you to trust God’s timing, remain faithful through the seasons of life, and believe that God sees you, even when you feel unseen.

    185: How to Stay Strong When Your Family Needs You Most with Jason Vallotton

    This week on the BraveCo Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most important callings we have as men: becoming the anchor in the middle of life’s storms. A few years ago, my wife and I walked through the devastating loss of her mom, and in the middle of grief, chaos, and family challenges, I had to learn what it meant to show up differently. Not to fix everything, but to become the steady presence my family could rely on. Being the anchor doesn’t mean having all the answers. It means learning to reprioritize, to shift from self-focus to family-focus, and to build emotional safety in your home. I share the hard lessons I learned in that season, the sacrifices I had to make, and the mindset shifts that helped me walk through it with strength and faith. If you’re in the middle of financial struggles, relational challenges, or even spiritual battles, this message is for you. You don’t have to solve every problem overnight—but you can choose to be the steady force your family needs. In this episode, I’ll give you practical steps to reset your priorities, bring peace into your home, and step into the role God has called you to as a man. 10 Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome & Free BraveCo Courses for Men 01:25 – Why Becoming the Anchor Matters Most 02:48 – Facing My Mother-in-Law’s Battle with Cancer 04:35 – Trying to Balance Grief, Kids, and Leadership 06:08 – The Powerless Feeling in Life’s Storms 07:44 – Shifting Priorities When Your Family is Hurting 09:55 – Consistency & Presence: What Being the Anchor Really Means 12:37 – Creating Emotional Safety at Home 15:14 – Small Daily Habits That Build Strength and Stability 18:33 – Finding a Clear Target to Stay Anchored in Chaos CONNECT WITH BRAVECO Website: https://www.braveco.org/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.men Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/ Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.
