William grew up in Franklin, went to Vanderbilt, and built a life behind screens: insurance and banking by day, a Twitch-partnered streaming career by night, and a porn habit he had accepted as just part of who he was. The near-death experience forced him to admit his human understanding was limited, so the numbers guy went looking at the data. Why are there 25,000 manuscripts about Jesus and only a handful about Julius Caesar? Why did the apostles and even Roman guards die brutal deaths for something they could have recanted? Why do the Dead Sea Scrolls confirm prophecies like Isaiah 53 were written centuries before the cross? Within a month he was all in. The video games, the vaping, and the addiction he calls the hardest thing he ever quit all lost their grip, and his girlfriend Nora came to faith too. Now he reads the news next to Ezekiel 38 and the Book of Revelation and rings the alarm bells to a generation of young men coming to Jesus in record numbers.

JR makes the case that information is not formation, attendance is not spiritual maturity, and the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is the only real indicator that a man is growing. He also shows you how to make disciples the way Jesus did: a mature believer sitting face to face with two or three men, an honest inventory of core truths and spiritual disciplines, and a simple way to tithe your time to God six minutes at a time.

JR's ministry started with the Design Workshop, helping believers discover what God created them to do. Then he noticed the pattern. Men would get their purpose statement, see themselves clearly for the first time, walk back into church, and forget, because nobody was discipling them. On a drive to get a haircut he asked God what else he could do, and the answer was "I didn't create you to do, I created you to be." That moment became two books and a framework. In this conversation we cover why churches count decisions and attendance but never look for fruit, the difference between McDonald's Christianity and the feast God offers, why pastors are overwhelmed and how to make their jobs replaceable, why every 65-year-old mature believer should be mentoring men in their 20s and 30s, and the six self-assessments JR is building, including a fruit of the Spirit test your wife gets to grade. It ends with a word to two kinds of men: the guy who loves Jesus but was never discipled, and the mature man who needs to stop consuming and start investing in someone else.

Shawn has pastored for over 20 years and trained pastors from Nepal to Pakistan to India, and he shows you how walking in the Spirit through humility and faith replaces the performance treadmill with real transformation. We go inside the Ark of the Covenant and the mercy seat, unpack your identity in Christ, and answer the question every honest man is asking: if I stop striving, won't I just get lazy? You're not broken. You're exhausted. There's another way.

Shawn came to Christ at 12 and spent years becoming what he calls a Pharisee, comparing himself to everyone and trying to be the most holy guy in the room, until one question from a Bible study he was leading exposed the whole thing: "That sounds great, but how do we do it?" What he discovered in a Bible college class on the new covenant of grace set him free, and he's spent 28 years since helping men get off the treadmill.
In this conversation we cover why forgiveness is only the beginning of grace, what the law is actually for now, the difference between resting in grace and being lazy, and how grace transforms the way a man loves his wife and raises his kids. We also get into Shawn's ministry translating Simple Grace into Urdu, Sindhi, Hindi, and more to train pastors across Pakistan, India, and Nepal.

Barna found that 39% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials now take spiritual guidance from AI. They treat ChatGPT like a pastor. Ben explains how we got here. The smartphone rewired the dopamine system between 2010 and 2015. Social media was built on the slot machine model of trigger and reward. Now AI has learned enough emotional intelligence to make a lonely man feel seen in a way no human can match.

This is not an anti-technology rant. Ben uses AI every day and builds it into his ministry. His warning is about the line most of us cross without noticing, when a tool quietly becomes a guide, then a god, then a substitute for relationship.

Ben went to Iraq at 21 and lost seven of his guys in his first week. He came home carrying things no 22-year-old should carry, and what saved him was not a screen. It was a mentor who picked up the phone at three in the morning and pointed him to Jesus. That is the whole argument of this conversation. We were built for costly, inconvenient, human connection, and we are trading it for something that feels better and delivers nothing.

He walks through the science without making it a lecture. Why dopamine is a chasing chemical rather than a pleasure chemical. Why social media crashes you when you put it down and a real conversation lets you off gently. Why every third or fifth Reel is deliberately worse than the last one. Why your wife is on her phone in the passenger seat every single time, and what is actually happening in her nervous system when you feel her check out.

In this episode of Stand Up Dude, Stewart White and Pedro LaTorre sit down with combat veteran Ben Peterson, founder of Engage Your Destiny...
Barna found that 39% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials now take spiritual guidance from AI. They treat ChatGPT like a pastor. Ben explains how we got here. The smartphone rewired the dopamine system between 2010 and 2015. Social media was built on the slot machine model of trigger and reward. Now AI has learned enough emotional intelligence to make a lonely man feel seen in a way no human can match.

This is not an anti-technology rant. Ben uses AI every day and builds it into his ministry. His warning is about the line most of us cross without noticing, when a tool quietly becomes a guide, then a god, then a substitute for relationship.

Most men have been handed the wrong tools: more apps, more filters, more white-knuckling, and a weekly accountability check that only ever asks "did you mess up." Stewart and Pedro explain why that keeps failing and what real freedom actually takes. They get into telling God the truth without agreeing with the condemnation, the cross as your sin at its worst and your Savior at His best, the "little monster" craving that impersonates your own voice, and why a craving is not a command and a temptation is not an identity. They cover how the algorithm is built to keep you hooked, why one host walked away from social media entirely, the difference between walls that are wise and walls you start to worship, and the truth that your deepest problem was never porn at all. It was a worship problem only Christ can heal.

This is the final episode of a three-part series. Part 1 exposes the lie that porn is giving you anything real. Part 2 uncovers what porn is really replacing in a man's heart. If you're new here, start with Part 1.

This is an honest, non-graphic conversation about porn addiction, the male loneliness epidemic, shame, and real freedom in Christ. If you feel unknown, exhausted, or numb, and porn has become the fake door you keep walking through, this episode will help you name the real need underneath and bring it to the One who can actually meet it.

Porn never shows up in a vacuum. It grabs a real, God-given need and points it at a fake door. Stewart and Pedro walk through the four counterfeits every man needs to recognize: fake rest for the man who is exhausted on a soul level, fake intimacy for the man who is married and still lonely or single and aching for real brotherhood, fake aliveness for the man who is bored and numb, and fake escape for the man carrying wounds he has never brought into the light. They get into why intimacy without vulnerability is really just control, how numbing your pain works like a spiritual leprosy that kills real connection, why a man with no mission goes looking for stimulation, and the "little monster" you keep feeding that only grows bigger. The shift that changes everything is learning to ask what the craving is really counterfeiting, then bringing that real need to Christ instead of the fake door.

This is Part 2 of a three-part series. Part 1 exposes the lie that porn is giving you anything real.
Part 3 lays out the path to walk free for good.

Most men fighting porn are swinging at the behavior and never landing a hit on the lie underneath it, so willpower runs out and the shame cycle starts over. In this episode we expose that lie head-on. Porn is a trap, and the power of a trap is the bait. It latches onto real, God-given desires for intimacy, purpose, and rest, then hands you a counterfeit that creates the very craving it pretends to cure. Stewart and Pedro get into the empty-calories and tight-shoes analogies from the book that reframe the whole fight, why a divided man loses the strength a free man carries, and the truth that most men are not porn addicts so much as men medicating a deeper pain. There's a raw moment on an accountability partner who counted 90 sober days and still fell, and the question that changes everything: what if God was never counting your days? If you feel exposed listening to this, that conviction is not God rejecting you. It's the Father calling you home.

This is Part 1 of a three-part series.
Part 2 goes underneath the urge to what porn is really replacing in a man's heart.
Part 3 lays out the path to walk free for good.

Most men fighting porn are swinging at the behavior and never landing a hit on the lie underneath it, so willpower runs out and the shame cycle starts over. In this episode we expose that lie head-on. Porn is a trap, and the power of a trap is the bait. It latches onto real, God-given desires for intimacy, purpose, and rest, then hands you a counterfeit that creates the very craving it pretends to cure. Stewart and Pedro get into the empty-calories and tight-shoes analogies from the book that reframe the whole fight, why a divided man loses the strength a free man carries, and the truth that most men are not porn addicts so much as men medicating a deeper pain. There's a raw moment on an accountability partner who counted 90 sober days and still fell, and the question that changes everything: what if God was never counting your days? If you feel exposed listening to this, that conviction is not God rejecting you. It's the Father calling you home.

This is Part 1 of a three-part series.
Part 2 goes underneath the urge to what porn is really replacing in a man's heart.
Part 3 lays out the path to walk free for good.

Manwell's story moves from a military childhood in Germany to a brief life on the streets, to a senior-year encounter with Jesus at a church camp, to twelve years of grinding before Group 1 Crew ever got signed. Along the way he unpacks the vision of two roads that taught him to lead with forgiveness, the day a $50,000 loan turned him into someone else's villain, and what it actually looks like to be the head of a household when your wife is more successful than you are.

This is a conversation about real manhood, contentment, and the freedom that comes from being loved by God before you ever earn it.

Daniel gets transparent about his own path. Childhood wounds, ministry performance, rejection, and the slow grace of God dismantling every false identity along the way. If you've ever wrestled with people-pleasing, burnout from church culture, or the creeping suspicion that your worth is tangled up in what you do instead of who God says you are, this conversation is for you. It's a call for Christian men to stop achieving their worth and start receiving it.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY:

• Daniel's unfiltered story of how wounds, rejection, and church betrayals nearly stole his faith, and how God redeemed all of it
• A clear-eyed look at the subtle idol of "doing for God" and why God will graciously dismantle anything competing for your heart
• Freedom from the pressure to scale, perform, and "build the brand," plus what authentic discipleship actually looks like
• Biblical truth about modern idolatry and how to spot the false gods hiding behind success and approval
• Why the desert seasons (failure, loss of plan B, being stripped down) are often God's deepest invitations
• A practical roadmap for building rhythms of open space with God so you can lead your family and community from overflow instead of empty
• Honest words for men carrying church hurt, and a vision for surrendered leaders who build communities that heal instead of harm

WHO THIS IS FOR:

• Christian men wrestling with identity, performance, and people-pleasing
• Pastors, leaders, and entrepreneurs feeling the weight of "building the brand"
• Anyone carrying church hurt who still longs for authentic faith and community
• Husbands and fathers wanting to lead from intimacy with God instead of exhaustion

This is a battle cry to abandon self-made performance, embrace sonship, and walk as dangerous men of faith in a culture obsessed with achievement. God doesn't want your résumé. He wants you.

Together, they wrestle with the addictive pull of AI, the danger of letting your creativity atrophy, the difference between a craftsman and someone who's just "crafty," the Myth of the Tortured Artist, and the daily fight against compartmentalization that's quietly killing the modern man.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY:

• A rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Disney and Christian music machines from a producer who built hits inside both
• A raw, unguarded testimony of hidden illness, mental darkness, and where God actually showed up
• A clear-eyed framework for using AI without letting it hollow out your creativity, your work, or your soul
• Why "art that looks real but is empty" is the spiritual warning sign for our generation

Jordan opens up about the thought he says he's never confessed publicly—what he found himself thinking about his daughter Emery in the dark months after her Sturge-Weber Syndrome diagnosis—and what God did with that selfish moment.

This conversation goes places. We talk about being "unsuccessful for decades" before any dream comes true, the lie that crushes Christian men until their back finally breaks, why God isn't a vending machine for your wants, and how a father's brokenness becomes a son's inheritance—until somebody decides to stop the cycle. Jordan also shares the heart behind his new singles "Wild Love" and "Storyteller Man" and the full-length record dropping in early 2027.

In this episode of Stand Up Dude, Pedro LaTorre and Stewart White sit down with pastor, church planter, and men's discipleship leader Tony Calabrese for an unfiltered conversation on spiritual formation, fatherhood, and finding your identity in Christ when everything in you wants to perform for it.

Tony opens up about pastoral burnout, the slow work of healing through therapy and biblical counseling, and the daily practices that pulled him out of striving and into abiding.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY

• - Why performance ≠ worth, and how to actually internalize your identity in Christ
• - How to recognize a father wound and start the work of emotional healing
• - What pastoral burnout really looks like from the inside
• - The spiritual disciplines that build daily intimacy with God: solitude, silence, prayer
• - How forgiveness breaks the cycles of shame, pride, and avoidance
• - Tony's daily practice for coping with anxiety and protecting work-life balance
• - Why every man needs honest discipleship, mentorship, and real friendship

🧭 THIS ONE'S FOR YOU IF…

• - You've felt the slow burn of burnout — in ministry, work, or family life
• - You're carrying unhealed hurts from your dad or your past
• - You want to be emotionally healthy in marriage, parenting, and your walk with God
• - You're tired of performing and ready to start abiding
• - You've considered therapy or counseling and don't know where to begin

In this episode of Stand Up Dude, Pedro LaTorre and Stewart White sit down with pastor, church planter, and men's discipleship leader Tony Calabrese for an unfiltered conversation on spiritual formation, fatherhood, and finding your identity in Christ when everything in you wants to perform for it.

Tony opens up about pastoral burnout, the slow work of healing through therapy and biblical counseling, and the daily practices that pulled him out of striving and into abiding.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY

• - Why performance ≠ worth, and how to actually internalize your identity in Christ
• - How to recognize a father wound and start the work of emotional healing
• - What pastoral burnout really looks like from the inside
• - The spiritual disciplines that build daily intimacy with God: solitude, silence, prayer
• - How forgiveness breaks the cycles of shame, pride, and avoidance
• - Tony's daily practice for coping with anxiety and protecting work-life balance
• - Why every man needs honest discipleship, mentorship, and real friendship

🧭 THIS ONE'S FOR YOU IF…

• - You've felt the slow burn of burnout — in ministry, work, or family life
• - You're carrying unhealed hurts from your dad or your past
• - You want to be emotionally healthy in marriage, parenting, and your walk with God
• - You're tired of performing and ready to start abiding
• - You've considered therapy or counseling and don't know where to begin

Matt's comeback story is unforgettable: a car crash that left him flatlined for three minutes, a broken neck, and a long walk out of addiction into 12 years of sobriety. That journey became the foundation for his #1 Amazon bestseller, The Comeback Blueprint — a no-fluff manual for men who are done running the same play.

A former Hollywood director, Tribeca filmmaker, and Prism Award winner, Matt traded the spotlight for a mission: helping men rebuild their identity, kill shame, and live with purpose again. Today he speaks at churches, conferences, and corporate events, hosts the Unfiltered with Matt Farnsworth podcast, leads the Armor Up spiritual warfare app, and coaches both men in recovery and Fortune 500 leaders scaling their businesses.

If you've ever felt stuck, broken, or like your past disqualifies you — this conversation is for you.

Stuck in a cycle of burnout, busyness, and performance—even in ministry? Feeling spiritual numbness, emotional fatigue, or a restless soul that just won’t find peace? If you’ve ever wondered why striving only leaves you empty, or why rest feels impossible, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, Curtis Zackery (CZ)—pastor, author, and founder of "Find Rest"—joins hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White to expose the roots of burnout, suffering, and false rest. Together, we face the lies of identity, control, significance, and productivity that keep men running but never arriving. It’s time to leave behind spiritual depleted seasons and discover true restoration, healing, and sonship in the gospel.

What You’ll Learn:
• How busyness and striving create emotional fatigue and block your true worth and identity
• The hidden dangers of performance, control, and seeking significance through ministry or productivity
• Why “rest” isn’t laziness or failure—and how Sabbath is really about soul assessment and dependence on God, not just time off
• Powerful tools: confession, repentance, and renouncing—dealing with sin, father wounds, and healing for deep restoration
• How to confront spiritual numbness and false rest, so your soul can finally experience true community and wholeness
• What it means to receive—not earn—sonship and worth from God, no matter how depleted you feel
• Real stories of moving from ministry grind and burnout to deep healing and freedom
• A biblical roadmap to lasting rest, rooted in the gospel: practical steps for Sabbath thinking, soul assessment, and learning to trust the Father
• Overcoming the pressures to prove, perform, and hustle—and stepping into life, value, and purpose that’s unshakeable

If you feel stuck, unseen, unappreciated, or afraid to stop—THIS conversation is for you. Break free from striving. Step into restoration, community, and the rest your soul was made for.

In this powerful conversation on the Stand Up Dude Podcast, hosts Tim Bisagno and Pedro LaTorre sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Shelli Norvell to talk about trauma, men’s mental health, spiritual formation, and honesty in marriage. Shelli shares how vulnerability, empathy, boundaries, and accountability become the pathway to recovery from codependency, toxic relationships, shame, depression, and broken self-worth.

Shelli’s story is raw and remarkable. She went from childhood abuse and self-destruction to recovery, resilience, and faith-filled healing. Through radical honesty, grace, forgiveness, and therapy, she now helps people confront pain, rebuild self-worth, and experience real transformation in their marriages, relationships, and walk with Jesus.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
• How unhealed pain and childhood wounds can quietly shape (and sabotage) your closest relationships, faith, and view of yourself—even if you “do all the right things”
• The gripping true story of Shelli’s journey: abuse, secrecy, spiritual confusion, marriage, brokenness, divorce, attempted suicide, and finding God in the darkest depths (00:00)
• Why bravado and religious performance are empty substitutes for emotional and spiritual honesty—and how radical truth-telling opens the door to healing and genuine connection 
• Tools for moving from victimhood and shame into ownership, courage, and hope (even after catastrophic failure, betrayal, or addiction)
• How to recognize, name, and process the “stuck trauma” in your life (and why that matters for real freedom, peace, and lasting change)
• What women actually want to see in Christian husbands—and how softening, confession, and humility can restore marriages and families 
• Why “grace begets grace,” and the secret to breaking the cycle of judgment, numbness, and critical spirit in your home or church 

This episode is for YOU if:
You long to be a better husband, dad, or friend but feel blocked by old patterns or unspoken pain
You grew up with faith but are disappointed, angry, or “deconstructed” by church hurt or trauma
You’re afraid of being truly honest with yourself, God, or the people who matter most
You want to end shame’s rule over your life and break generational cycles for good
This is NOT another “try harder” or “do better” pep talk. This is an invitation—to step into the light, start new stories, and let God finish what He began. As Shelli powerfully declares, “You already are all those things. The Great I Am is already in you.” It’s time to LIVE that truth.

We sit down with Hollywood producer Mark Koch (Lost in Space, Black Dog) for a gripping personal testimony of addiction recovery, repentance, and a radical Christian faith journey shaped by daily prayer and Bible reading. After experiencing the consequences of sin at the height of success, Mark shares how a powerful Holy Spirit encounter led to emotional healing, forgiveness, and marriage restoration.

Through “The First Hour” practice—tithing time to God each morning—he discovered a simple but life-altering path to spiritual discipline, accountability, and overcoming distractions. This is a battle plan for men facing spiritual battles: put on the armor of God, fight for your family, and reclaim joy in Christ.

• Practical, Step-by-Step Blueprint for Men—How to Wash, Armor, and Refill Yourself for Spiritual Battle

You’ll hear how Mark went from two blockbuster movies in the Top 10 to feeling lost, empty, and spiritually dead. Then God grabbed him.

This is not just another inspirational episode—this is your battle plan for becoming a man of spiritual strength, fighting for your family, and leading with faith. Mark’s checklist, proven prayers, and “armor of God” strategy are changing men’s lives across the nation. Are YOU ready to step in?

We sit down with Hollywood producer Mark Koch (Lost in Space, Black Dog) for a gripping personal testimony of addiction recovery, repentance, and a radical Christian faith journey shaped by daily prayer and Bible reading. After experiencing the consequences of sin at the height of success, Mark shares how a powerful Holy Spirit encounter led to emotional healing, forgiveness, and marriage restoration.

If you're a Christian man and you feel like you've struggled to live the kind of life that Jesus promised, you don't want to miss this episode!

If you’ve ever tried to “be a better Christian” by sheer willpower and still ended up frustrated, exhausted, or spiritually dry, then THIS is the message you’ve been waiting for.
Are you struggling to Break Old Habits, Fight Temptation, or Lead Your Family with Strength?
You’re not alone.

In this episode, hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White dismantle the biggest misconceptions about the Christian life, and reveal the one thing Jesus said changes everything: Abide in Me.
What is Abiding? How Can You Actually Live Connected, Not Just Perform for God?
Drawing from John 15, they unpack what Jesus meant by “I am the vine, you are the branches,” and why success, freedom, and real fruit only come from Jesus.

What You'll Experience in This Episode:

• The 3 Myths Christian Men Believe About Abiding—and why “trying harder” doesn’t work anymore
• Jesus’ Radical Solution to Burnout & Fruitlessness: How abiding is active dependence, not passive waiting or striving
• The Fuel Station Lie—and how to break the “Sunday recharge” cycle so you’re full of life, Monday through Saturday
• How Abiding Changes Everything in battling temptation, leading your family, and surviving hardship
• The Difference Between Dead Religion and Real Connection—Are you taping plastic fruit, or is your heart actually changing?
• The 4 Essential Rhythms to Abide in Christ: Word. Prayer. Surrender. Brotherhood.
• What To Do If You Feel Spiritually Dry or Disconnected (Powerful encouragement and a step-by-step reset)
• A Simple, Life-Giving Invitation for anyone who wants to know Jesus personally and stop “performing Christianity”
• Practical tools & a prayer to start fresh—plus free resources for your journey!

This is NOT another “do more, try harder” pep talk.
This is a lifeline for every man who wants to live with peace, power, and purpose; anchored to the only Source that will never let you go.

Ever wondered what it really means to be a disciple—not just a convert? Are you fighting to break free from performance, legalism, and cultural confusion as a man of faith? Longing for practical answers about intimacy with God, real masculinity, and living out your true calling as a follower of Jesus?
This episode is for you.
We’re lifting the hood on our “why”—and inviting you to step into the story…
🚀 WHAT’S INSIDE THIS EPISODE:
Meet Pedro LaTorre: After 20+ years of championing the gospel on stages, in boardrooms, with police departments, and in men’s spaces nationwide, Pedro joins Mission X—not just to talk about discipleship but to live it with authenticity and grit.
Discover the Mission X Difference: The DNA of Mission X Mission and Stand Up Dude isn’t just big events and conversion moments. It’s about growing and multiplying men who look, act, and love like Jesus—everywhere, everyday.
The Great Commission—Demystified: What does “Go and make disciples” really mean in 2024? Pedro, Tim, and Stewart break it down and confront the tension between American performance culture and biblical dependence on God.
Serving, Not Succeeding: Pedro shares vulnerable stories of leadership, fatherhood, and ministry—how the fight to “serve, not be liked” changed his relationships, and how he recalibrates his heart before every talk, tough meeting, or moment with his family.
Grace vs. Legalism: Why do we so easily drift into performance and self-reliance? Learn why growing into dependence—NOT independence—is the true mark of Christlike maturity.
True Masculinity, Real Christianity: Get honest about anger, failure, confession, and why apologizing to your kids might be your greatest witness.
The Power of Abiding: Discover the secret Jesus modeled—why “apart from Me, you can do nothing”—and how that truth transforms every part of your life.
Evangelism AND Discipleship: Why you can’t separate sharing Jesus from walking daily with Him. How Stand Up Dude is raising the bar for what it means to invite men to real faith and spiritual growth, and why Mission X is doubling down on making disciples—not just decisions.
💪 THIS EPISODE WILL HELP YOU…
• Identify and crush the lies of performance, legalism, and cultural distraction
• Find freedom and joy in your identity as a son, not just a servant
• Learn practical habits to recalibrate your heart and serve with humility
• Discover how to fall forward—by owning your mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and modeling grace

Feeling “squeezed between two extremes” and unsure how to stand firm for Jesus without losing your witness—or your mind? In this must-watch episode of the Stand Up Dude Podcast, hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White sit down with Pastor, author, and former SBC President J.D. Greear to tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: How can Christians live boldly for Christ and shape our world, without getting trapped by culture wars, political compromise, or fear?

If you struggle to think biblically about politics, culture, and your own calling, or worry that faithfulness to Jesus might mean standing out or even standing alone, then THIS episode will give you clarity, hope, and a renewed sense of mission.

Pastor J.D. Greear, author of Everyday Revolutionary, pulls back the curtain on what real gospel courage looks and sounds like in an age of chaos, outrage, and moral confusion. Learn why playing it safe isn’t an option, what it means to pursue truth and grace at full strength, and how you can find your footing, no matter what comes next.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• The Two Ditches Every Christian Faces: Why compromise (the "left ditch") and Christless conservatism (the "right ditch") are equally dangerous for the Church—and how to walk the true “gospel road” between them.
• How to Live on Mission—Even When It Costs: J.D. shares raw stories from his own journey relaunching Summit Church, confronting resistance, and watching God turn “failure” into miraculous kingdom momentum.
• Transforming Your World WITHOUT Culture Warring: Practical wisdom from Daniel’s life on how to blend bold public witness, radical compassion, and personal holiness—whatever your career or calling.
• Faith over Fear: Why every man of God WILL face adversity, misunderstanding, or loss—but how you can become “a quiet revolutionary” deeply anchored in Christ.
• A New Vision for Ordinary Christians: Discover the “loud” and “quiet” ways every believer can testify for Jesus, advancing the Kingdom at home, at work, and in the public square.
• How to Stand Firm When You Feel Alone: Battle-tested answers for Christians who feel isolated, discouraged, or tempted to give up in the face of pressure.
• The Deepest Truth: Why being right on all the hot-button issues is not enough if we miss the mission—and how the real revolution begins with Jesus.

This conversation isn’t about which party to support. It’s about the only Kingdom that truly matters, and the assignment every believer has to be a light in darkness, a peacemaker in turmoil, and a courageous “stand up dude” when it matters most.

Are you ready to reject fear, find your purpose, and lead as a man of faith—no matter the cost? The world is watching. Your family is counting on you. The time is now.

If you’ve ever wrestled with discouragement, felt overwhelmed as a dad, or questioned whether you have what it takes to lead your family through hardship—this episode is for YOU. Kris Hammons’ story isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving—and helping other men unlock “ridiculous grit” with Jesus at the center.

👇 What You’ll Experience in This Episode: 👇

From Surgeries to Survival: Hear Kris’ powerful testimony growing up with dwarfism, beating low medical expectations, and undergoing 20+ surgeries—including the heart-wrenching realities of raising a son who spent 10 months in the NICU.

Redefining Grit: Discover why REAL grit is more than just white-knuckling through difficulties. Learn how Kris blends faith, vulnerability, and community into a new, Jesus-centered definition of perseverance.

Overcoming Labels & Living Authentic: The real impact of “labels” and language on kids & families navigating special needs, and why Kris says you must face your story instead of running from it.

Fatherhood On Fire: How to step up when your family needs you most, reclaim your voice, and become the dad your kids desperately need—no matter how beat down or burned out life leaves you.

Battle-Tested Faith: Where was God during Kris’s darkest moments? How do you have faith when there’s nothing left to hold onto but uncertainty?

Practical Steps for Building Grit: Why the “phone down, gratitude up” method could change everything—plus the secret to processing pain as a man, finding your people, and fighting for legacy.

Freedom from Toxic Strength: Redefine masculinity—not as toxic stoicism or hiding weakness, but with courageous self-awareness and love as the anchor.

A Roadmap for Men: Actionable steps anyone can take TODAY to grow true, Christ-centered grit—even if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re letting everyone down.

The Call to Transformation: An invitation to stop sleepwalking through struggles, name what’s hard, and let Jesus lead you into your greatest purpose yet.

This isn’t just another self-help show—this is a brotherhood moment and a rallying cry for every man who’s tired of going it alone. Let Kris Hammons’ raw transparency and hope-infused wisdom spark your courage to face your hardest seasons…and come out stronger on the other side.

Are you searching for hope after loss, juggling your calling with real-life pain, or wondering if faith can bring real redemption—even after heartbreak and defeat? Jason’s story might be JUST what you need. This is more than a rockstar memoir—it's a raw, relatable masterclass in finding resilience, rediscovering your identity, and letting God use your brokenness for something epic.

What You'll Experience in This Episode:

• The true origin story of Paramore—from mowing Hayley Williams’ lawn to joining the band overnight
• Why Jason walked away from stardom at Paramore’s peak and the gut-wrenching family crisis that called him home
• Losing $160,000 in gear in the Nashville flood—and how hitting rock bottom forced a total life's reset
• How God showed up in Jason’s deepest pain, including the tragic loss of his mother, and rebuilt his life step by step
• Finding new identity: from sidelined musician to working actor on TV’s “Nashville” and “9-1-1”
• Lessons on masculinity: why being a “stand up dude” means vulnerability, bringing your mess to God, and loving your family fiercely—even when you feel empty
• Candid talk about addiction, mental health, and picking up the pieces when you’re “supposed” to have it all
• Powerful encouragement for Christian men: how to fight passivity, stop letting the past define you, and make every minute count
• How Jason discovered true purpose in worship, family, and serving others—PLUS: a first peek at new music and projects

This Episode Is For You If:

• You feel like life has sucker-punched you and you’re not sure where to turn
• You’ve had success—and suffered setbacks—that make you question your calling
• You want to know how God can redeem your story, no matter how broken you feel
• You’re looking for practical, honest hope to lead your family and community with authenticity and integrity

We get real about loss, grief, faith, and how a simple idea—fixing a widow’s house—has helped over 1,500 children find their forever homes while serving nearly 2,000 widows. Learn how J.T. Olson’s personal story and God-given passion became Both Hands, a ministry that allows ANYONE to roll up their sleeves and join the solution.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
From Tragedy to Transformation: How the worst day of J.T. Olson’s life became fuel for a ministry that’s helped over 1,500 kids find their forever families and served 1,800+ widows!
The “Golf Roast” That Sparked a Movement: Hear the hilarious and humbling story of how one friend’s honest jab about fundraising catalyzed the genius idea of Both Hands.
A Simple, Game-Changing Blueprint: Step-by-step, J.T. Olson walks us through how anyone can join a widow-serving, adoption-funding project—and why it’s THE alternative to bake sales or GoFundMes.
Healing, Hope & The Power of YES: Discover how God heals deep wounds and uses them—not just for your story, but for the rescue of others.
Why Your Group (or You Alone) Can Make a Difference: Whether you’re longing to serve, love building stuff, or just want to see “the Church in ACTion,” you’ll learn how to get involved—one Saturday at a time.
Spiritual Takeaway: The surprising freedom found in serving when there’s “nothing in it for you”—and why true faith is defined by showing up for orphans and widows.

Join us as Vince Del Monte courageously shares his own story of hitting rock bottom—a dream home, thriving business, and picture-perfect life shattered by brokenness, emotional rejection, and loss. If you’re searching for peace, meaning, and reconciliation in the midst of pressure, THIS episode will hit home.

What You’ll Discover in This Conversation:

• The dark side of winning at work—real stories of men who sacrifice family for hustle, and the devastating wake-up calls that follow 
• Vince Del Monte’s fight for his marriage: What ultimate rejection taught him about masculine identity, control, and the power of humility 
• How performance-driven living triggers anxiety, emotional instability, and relational breakdown even in men with the “perfect life” 
• Why being a provider isn’t enough—and the dangerous myth that success at any cost means love at home 
• The journey from shame and self-medication to true vulnerability: practical steps to reconnect with God, yourself, and the people who matter most 
• Why men avoid the “mirror”—and how facing the hardest truths unlocks authentic healing, freedom, and real strength 
• Building a business (and life) that SERVES you, not consumes you—Vince’s blueprint for sustainable success and fulfillment 
• What the parable of the talents really means for multiplication, faithfulness, and finding purpose beyond money or status 
• The critical importance of rest, surrender, and rooting your identity in Christ—not your achievements (includes a Gospel invitation for men ready to find hope)

This isn’t just another motivational talk—it’s an honest map for every man ready to break cycles of isolation, reclaim lost relationships, and build a legacy that actually lasts.

In this raw and life-changing episode, hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White welcome Dr. Brooks Tiller—a coach, outdoorsman, healer, and brother in Christ—who’s dedicated his life to helping men rebuild and reclaim purpose after divorce, setbacks, and heartache.Whether you’re single, married, or divorced, if you’re a man who’s faced dark nights of the soul or walked through seasons of loss, you’ll discover authentic wisdom, practical steps, and real hope. Dr. Brooks shares his journey through the trenches, why every man needs a “band of brothers,” and how to get up—even when life lands its hardest punches.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The True Battle Men Face After Divorce: Learn why divorce deeply wounds a man’s heart, and discover the spiritual and emotional keys to healing, connection, and moving forward.
• How to Be Tougher Than Life: Dr. Brooks exposes the dangerous myths about “fake toughness” and reveals how perseverance, vulnerability, and real brotherhood unlock the strength men truly need.
• The Power of Band of Brothers: Why every man needs “shovel friends”—men you can call at 2AM when life goes sideways. Discover concrete ways to build genuine, life-giving brotherhood (and how to go FIRST).
• Secrets to Rebuilding with Your Kids: After divorce, most men ache for fresh connection with their children. Hear how Brooks and others have navigated this bittersweet season—and what it means to model courage, presence, and hope.
• Small Steps That Change Your Life: Practical, day-one actions for men stuck in shame, failure, regret, or feeling lost. Learn how to look yourself in the mirror, speak life, and reclaim your self-worth.
• Overcoming the Lie of “Not Enough”: How to recognize—and DEFEAT—the inner critic and the enemy’s lies about your future, purpose, and value.• Living Abundantly—No Matter the Pain: Discover how Jesus’ promise of “life to the full” applies when you’re at rock bottom, and get reminded why your story isn’t over yet. (John 10:10)
• Guided Path Forward: Find out why Dr. Brooks wrote his transformative 30-day journal, FORWARD, specifically for men recovering from divorce, grief, and heartbreak—and how you can use it for the next step on your journey.

Dr. Brooks shares his journey through the trenches, why every man needs a “band of brothers,” and how to get up—even when life lands its hardest punches.

• Secrets to Rebuilding with Your Kids: After divorce, most men ache for fresh connection with their children. Hear how Brooks and others have navigated this bittersweet season—and what it means to model courage, presence, and hope.

(John 10:10)

If you or someone you love has struggled with gaming addiction, rage quitting, anxiety, or the heartbreak of suicide—this conversation could literally change a life. Dr. Gibbs unpacks the real stories behind the headlines, the “why” behind the alarming rise in youth suicide, and shares hope-filled insights for healing, resilience, and victory—from the virtual world to real life.
What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• How a Fortnite tragedy led to a global movement—the true story behind the FREE Good Gamer mental health certification for gamers and parents
• Why suicide rates among 10-14 year olds are soaring—and what you can do to protect your kids (and yourself)
• The truth about gaming rage, perfectionism, rejection, and “catastrophic thinking”—and the simple A-B-C tool that can rewire your mind for resilience
• Powerful mindset shifts for competitive young men—so you can play to win, bounce back from loss, and avoid dangerous emotional spirals
• Why moderation—not outlawing gaming—is the wisest path for parents (and how to talk with your kids, even if you don’t “get” games)
• Real talk about digital dopamine, the trap of instant gratification, and reconnecting with the wild, beautiful world God made
• The soul-deep roots of anger, self-loathing, addiction, and broken identity—and how the gospel answers them all
• • Practical steps dads (and moms) can take today to guide your gamer, build trust, and model Christlike emotional strength
• The one thing every child (and every man) craves—and why Jesus is the only One who truly satisfies
• A clear, hope-filled invitation to start (or re-start) a journey with Christ—if you’ve reached the end of yourself, or just want more from life

This isn’t just a lesson in mental health—it’s a blueprint for fathers, sons, and every man or young person ready to rise above the chaos and find their true identity, strength, and joy. The digital world isn’t going away—so let’s raise a generation equipped to win…and to heal.

Today, we’re joined by leading Christian intellectual and author Nancy Pearcey. 
Nancy is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

If you’re questioning what real masculinity looks like in a world that’s confused, hostile, or suspicious toward men… if you’ve wrestled with shame, regret, or silence because of false narratives (inside and outside the church)… or if you long to discover God’s design for masculinity and leadership—THIS is the episode you don’t want to miss.

In this honest, hope-filled conversation with Nancy Pearcey, you’ll get:

• Real DATA that smashes cultural myths about Christian men, church attendance, marriage, and abuse (it’s not what you’ve been told)
• How secular and biblical “scripts” for masculinity diverged, and why reclaiming the GOOD “software” of manhood matters for generations to come
• Nancy’s insights on the modern “crisis of men,” the dangers of the “manosphere,” and how young men are turning to false teachers like Andrew Tate
• Proven ways churchgoing men can shatter stereotypes by becoming the most loving, engaged husbands and fathers (the science backs it!)
• Why history, sociology, and Scripture agree: men are biologically, spiritually, and relationally built to provide, protect, and prosper others
• Practical encouragement for dads and sons: How to build deep connection in an age that mocks and sidelines fathers—and how the “dad brain” is real
• How fathers matter more than ever in shaping faith and character—and the surprising lifelong power of a present, loving dad
• A biblical call to root our identity, strength, and tenderness in Christ—becoming the kind of men, husbands, and fathers our culture desperately needs

WATCH NOW if you want to:

• Understand the culture war on men and how to rise above it, rooted in God’s truth
• Get equipped to disciple men on the “fringes” and draw them from nominal faith to authentic transformation
• Find your voice, calling, and mission as a Christian man—without shame, confusion, or compromise
• Pass on a legacy of courage, wholeness, and Christlike leadership—for your marriage, your kids, and your community

Are you a guy who’s tired of hiding behind “busy”? Have you ever wished you could be more present for your family, break through isolation, and actually lead with spiritual courage? If you’ve struggled with vulnerability, marriage tensions, or simply feel stuck trying to “fix” everything while running from your own hurt—this episode is going to set you free.

Matt Hammitt holds nothing back as he unpacks the real story behind his chart-topping anthem “Lead Me,” the heartbreak and miracles in his family’s journey through his son’s life-threatening illness, and how God used brokenness to forge deeper love, faith, and authenticity. Learn how men can finally lay down the mask, connect with God and each other, and become the strong fathers, husbands, and friends our world desperately needs.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The honest backstory of “Lead Me”—how Matt’s marriage struggles and moment of truth became the catalyst for genuine change, not just in song but at home 
• Why men run to work and busyness but retreat from real emotional and relational battles—and how to break the pattern 
• Lessons from the fire: How Matt and his wife Sarah’s faith endured years of hospital nights, heartbreak, and nearly losing their son, Bowen 
• Why isolation is the enemy—and why men need brotherhood, vulnerability, and practical community more than ever 
• How sharing your weaknesses can be your family’s greatest shield, raising kids empowered to be honest, resilient, and faith-filled 
• Raw dialogue on grief, marriage tension, fatherhood, and finding hope when your life story isn’t the “highlight reel” 
• A gospel invitation: what it really means to invite Jesus from the “outside” into every part of your life, marriage, and purpose 
• Practical steps for men to step up, get real, and lead by example—plus free resources to help you grow

This is so much more than an interview—it’s a call for every man to lay down fake strength for real courage, and to discover that vulnerability is not weakness, but God’s pathway to strength and legacy. You’re not alone. Your story can be redeemed, and YOU are called to be a Stand Up Dude.

( Support Stand Up Dude and Mission X Mission: http://MissionXMission.org/donate )

If you’ve ever wondered how to speak up when the culture demands you stay silent, felt overwhelmed by today’s shifting values, or yearned to find real purpose as a Christian man—THIS is the conversation you need. We get brutally honest about what it means to live boldly for Jesus in a world desperately searching for answers, and how Charlie’s courageous example is sparking a movement of men who aren’t afraid to stand up, pray up, and speak up.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The story of Charlie Kirk—a modern-day martyr and why his life & death are igniting a spiritual awakening in millions of hearts
• How to find your voice and purpose in times of darkness—even if you’ve felt silenced or discouraged by the world around you
• Why real masculinity is about truth, repentance, and leading with boldness (even when it means standing alone)
• Powerful testimonies of men and young people turning to Jesus, coming back to church, and reclaiming what it means to be unashamed of the Gospel
• How you can rise above cultural confusion and become part of the greatest spiritual harvest of our time
• Practical wisdom on confronting tough issues, being authentic, and influencing your generation with love and clarity
• A call to action: reject the silence, repent from crowd-following, and take up the mantle to lead as men of faith
• The essential message of the Gospel—straight from Charlie Kirk’s final words—and how you can begin (or restart) your journey with Jesus today

This isn’t just another tribute episode—it’s a rally cry for YOU to live anchored to truth, empowered by the Spirit, and emboldened for action. The awakening has begun. Will you answer the call?

( Support Stand Up Dude and Mission X Mission: http://MissionXMission.org/donate )

If you’ve ever wondered how to speak up when the culture demands you stay silent, felt overwhelmed by today’s shifting values, or yearned to find real purpose as a Christian man—THIS is the conversation you need. We get brutally honest about what it means to live boldly for Jesus in a world desperately searching for answers, and how Charlie’s courageous example is sparking a movement of men who aren’t afraid to stand up, pray up, and speak up.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The story of Charlie Kirk—a modern-day martyr and why his life & death are igniting a spiritual awakening in millions of hearts
• How to find your voice and purpose in times of darkness—even if you’ve felt silenced or discouraged by the world around you
• Why real masculinity is about truth, repentance, and leading with boldness (even when it means standing alone)
• Powerful testimonies of men and young people turning to Jesus, coming back to church, and reclaiming what it means to be unashamed of the Gospel
• How you can rise above cultural confusion and become part of the greatest spiritual harvest of our time
• Practical wisdom on confronting tough issues, being authentic, and influencing your generation with love and clarity
• A call to action: reject the silence, repent from crowd-following, and take up the mantle to lead as men of faith
• The essential message of the Gospel—straight from Charlie Kirk’s final words—and how you can begin (or restart) your journey with Jesus today

This isn’t just another tribute episode—it’s a rally cry for YOU to live anchored to truth, empowered by the Spirit, and emboldened for action. The awakening has begun. Will you answer the call?

Pedro shares his incredible story, from experiencing the pain and confusion of a father leaving at age 7, to chasing performance-based worth, and finally discovering what it means to live FROM identity—not FOR it. You’ll get practical, gospel-centered wisdom on escaping the “performance trap,” how to let God’s view of you shape your entire life, and why surrender is the ultimate strength in the kingdom of God.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• Why men often tie their worth to their achievements—and how to break free for good
• The performance trap: How striving and hustle actually keep you from your true purpose
• The biblical blueprint for manhood—strength that looks like surrender, power, and authenticity
• Facing your wounds: How the pain of your story can become power for your life AND legacy
• How to hear God’s voice and anchor your life in His unchanging love (Pedro guides you through a life-changing exercise—don’t miss it!)
• Why your identity in Jesus—not your job, status, or success—delivers real confidence and unshakeable purpose
• How to practically build rhythms of prayer, worship, and brotherhood into your journey
• How to become the man, husband, and father you were MADE to be—even after mistakes or failures

This episode cuts through surface-level “Christian” advice and invites you into deeper transformation. Pedro, Tim, and Stewart get real about their own struggles, victories, and how men can walk in both courage and vulnerability.

If you’re tired of feeling like you never measure up, or you’re hungry to finally live with the purpose God has for you, this conversation brings the hope, truth, and next steps you need.

Today, Brian courageously shares straight talk about spiritual warfare, emotional health, purity, dating in the digital age, and why authentic friendship is the cure to isolation and addiction.

• Eye-opening wisdom on dating in today’s culture—why taking risks, facing rejection, and refusing “discounts” leads to real relationships worth the price
• The secret to experiencing God’s favor and timing (and the story behind Brian’s hope-filled worship single, “On Time God”)
• Powerful encouragement to seek God’s kingdom first, live a life of integrity, and let God work out the details—no shortcuts, no cheap grace

Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White sit down with JT McCraw—a high-end custom home builder, men’s ministry leader, and co-host of the Great Man Global podcast—for a raw, practical, and hope-filled conversation that will challenge you to discover and pursue your God-given purpose like never before. If you’re frustrated by empty promises of “finding yourself,” burned out by chasing success, or just craving a sense of meaning that goes deeper than a paycheck—hit play. This is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Together, we get real about why so many men feel stuck, restless, or like they’re meant for “more”—and how God’s design unlocks true purpose, courage, and fulfillment for every season. JT shares hard-won wisdom about breaking out of the “provider” trap, overcoming the myth of being good enough, and learning to build your life on a solid foundation of identity in Christ—not just duty or achievement.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The four reasons you can be absolutely certain God has you here, now, for a purpose—and how to find it 
• Why purpose changes with every season—and how to know if you’re settling for less than God’s best 
• The practical steps to stop drifting and start serving—the secret of discovering real purpose through service and trust 
• How shame, fear, and busyness keep men from living out their God-given legacy 
• JT’s powerful “Great Man Cards” tool and how it can help you assess your life—with real focus and traction (no more navel-gazing) 
• Overcoming the biggest lies: “I have to be perfect” and “I have to have it all together before God can use me” 
• Why building character is more important than chasing platform—and how to grow a life that won’t collapse under pressure 
• How to start fresh if you’re new to faith, stuck in old patterns, or just tired of “trying harder” and seeing no real change 
• An honest look at Christ’s model of service, David’s story, and what it means to live for “such a time as this” 
• What to do when purpose feels massive and overwhelming—plus encouragement if you’re in a mundane season or fighting to persevere
This isn’t self-help fluff. It’s a blueprint for men willing to get real, go deep, and let God build something meaningful in their lives, starting right now.

Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White take on one of the biggest challenges men face today: knowing the difference between genuine kindness and the trap of people-pleasing. Special guest River Bisagno (yes, Tim’s son) gets raw and real, sharing a deeply personal testimony from his own life—a story of identity, anxiety, and being set free at the heart level by Jesus.

Ever feel like your kindness is never enough? Wonder if “being the nice guy” is actually costing you your strength, your purpose, or your peace? You’re not alone. So many men are exhausted from trying to win approval, keep everyone happy, or build an identity on what others think—only to find it all coming up empty. This episode isn’t just a story—it’s a roadmap for every man stuck in the cycle of doing more and feeling less.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The real difference between Christ-like kindness and people-pleasing (and why one brings freedom, while the other chains you up)
• How River broke free from an identity built on approval, perfectionism, and fear—and why his old way of “kindness” was destroying him
• The hidden danger of building your life on good things (like kindness) instead of on God’s truth—and why even good things can become idols

Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White take on one of the biggest challenges men face today: knowing the difference between genuine kindness and the trap of people-pleasing. Special guest River Bisagno (yes, Tim’s son) gets raw and real, sharing a deeply personal testimony from his own life—a story of identity, anxiety, and being set free at the heart level by Jesus.

Ever feel like your kindness is never enough? Wonder if “being the nice guy” is actually costing you your strength, your purpose, or your peace? You’re not alone. So many men are exhausted from trying to win approval, keep everyone happy, or build an identity on what others think—only to find it all coming up empty. This episode isn’t just a story—it’s a roadmap for every man stuck in the cycle of doing more and feeling less.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The real difference between Christ-like kindness and people-pleasing (and why one brings freedom, while the other chains you up)
• How River broke free from an identity built on approval, perfectionism, and fear—and why his old way of “kindness” was destroying him
• The hidden danger of building your life on good things (like kindness) instead of on God’s truth—and why even good things can become idols
• How to recognize when people-pleasing is sabotaging your relationships, your joy, and your calling as a man
• Why standing on the unshakeable foundation of Jesus—rather than the shifting opinions of others—changes everything
• A transparent look at shame, failure, courage, and the relentless kindness of God that takes us from death to new life
• Scripture-based wisdom from Galatians, practical advice, and honest dialogue about recovering from anxiety, perfectionism, and approval addiction
• How to step out of shame, break the cycle, and become the man God created you to be—strong, honest, free, and rooted in real love

If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity, felt trapped by trying to make everyone happy, or wondered if your “niceness” is really strength—this episode is your invitation to step out of the shadows and into freedom.

Have you felt stuck, searching for purpose, or waiting for someone to give you permission to step up? If you know deep down you were made for more—but aren’t sure where to start—this episode is for you!

Tim and Stewart revisit the foundational question: What is a Stand Up Dude? Get ready for an honest, eye-opening conversation that will reset your view of masculinity, challenge culture’s lies, and point you to the only Source strong enough to carry you—Jesus Himself.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• The core DNA of a Stand Up Dude—why you don’t need anyone’s permission to become the man God created you to be
• How real transformation starts—not by changing the world first, but by letting God change YOU from the inside out
• Why most guys settle for less, stay stuck, or get offended by the call to true manhood…and how to break free
• The danger of isolation and how authentic brotherhood sharpens & strengthens you (iron sharpens iron!)
• Shattering the culture’s “emasculating lies” about manhood and reclaiming your God-given strength
• How to deal with fear, face your wounds, and step into your calling with confidence—knowing God NEVER lets you down
• The difference between calling men ‘out’ versus calling them ‘forward’—and why grace beats shame every time
• Why Jesus is the ultimate standard for manhood: conviction, strength, humility, compassion, and sacrificial love
• Practical steps to begin (or deepen) your relationship with Jesus, and become a man who leads, protects, and loves selflessly

If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission… and start living with purpose, courage, and faith, this episode brings you the clarity, encouragement, and tools you need.

Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this powerful episode, hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White dive deep into one of the most urgent crises facing men today: the epidemic of loneliness and the collapse of true brotherhood. Are you scrolling through your contact list, but realize your circle feels empty? Do you feel isolated—even in a world more “connected” than ever? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. This episode is your invitation to step out of the friendship recession and reclaim genuine brotherhood, purpose, and connection—right where you are.

Tim and Stewart pull back the curtain on why men are lonelier than ever—breaking down the cultural lies, the work-and-grind mentality, geographical drift, and the shame around true vulnerability that’s robbing men of life-giving friendships. Forget empty social media “connections.” Forget the myth that “real men go it alone.” This is about rekindling real relationships, becoming the kind of man who stands with and for his brothers, and experiencing the kind of connection you were designed for.

What You’ll Experience in This Episode:

• The shocking truth: Why friendships among men have collapsed—and what it’s costing your health, heart, and soul
• How work culture, digital connection, and moving cities sabotage real friendships
• Why only having your wife as your best (or only) friend creates risk for you both—and what to do about it
• The damage of “lone wolf” masculinity, and why vulnerability is true strength
• God’s design for brotherhood—from Genesis, through the life of Jesus, and the early Church
• Practical game plan: How to move from crowds to crews, and build your core group of true friends
• Why serving together isn’t just good for others—it forges unbreakable bonds among brothers
• Real-life stories, actionable challenges, and steps to reach out, reconnect, and build the 3am friendships you need
• Soul-level encouragement: What it means to be truly known, loved, and never orphaned in Christ’s Kingdom
• A free resource download: Brotherhood Playbook to jump-start your journey

Whether you’re struggling with isolation, want deeper spiritual friendships, or just want brotherhood you can count on—this is the episode for you.

  Join us as Stewart White shares his raw, honest testimony of seeking meaning, wrestling with brokenness, and discovering how Jesus is not just present in dramatic “movie-moment” conversions, but in the everyday struggles, hurts, and victories of real life. From growing up in church to facing winding roads of identity, trauma, and faith, Stewart reveals how God’s grace is bigger than our performances, and why every man’s story is meant to glorify the only Hero: Jesus.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  
  • The myth of the “boring” testimony—why every true encounter with Jesus is powerful and unique
  • How childhood wounds, instability, and shame can shape us—and how Jesus transforms those places for His glory
  • The search for the meaning of life—and why the answer is not more effort, but deeper surrender
  • The beauty and freedom of living by grace, not by striving or religious performance
  • How God uses our weaknesses and brokenness to display His strength and love
  • Real talk about trauma, sexual brokenness, and the lies we believe—plus the road to healing and freedom
  • Why your entire life—not just your Sunday mornings—belongs to Jesus, and how that changes everything
  • Simple, biblical truth about how to start (or deepen) your relationship with Christ—and why it’s the foundation for real purpose and peace
  • Practical next steps to walk with Jesus, get connected, and begin living out your testimony today
  Whether you’re feeling unseen, weighed down by the past, or unsure if faith is worth it, this episode will meet you where you are and help you see how the ordinary moments of your journey can be used for extraordinary impact.
  
  Discover the deep joy, rest, and power that comes when you stop compartmentalizing God and start letting Him write your story.

From a youth pastor high on drugs and running from God’s voice, to a man now celebrating 36 years of sobriety and having helped nearly 2 million people find Jesus, this conversation is proof that your past does not disqualify you—God writes the most incredible stories out of surrendered hearts.
  
  Forget shallow surface-level advice. We’re diving deep into the messy middle—the pain, the shame, the real struggle, and the supernatural breakthrough. You’ll hear why your testimony is more important than you think, how God delights in giving new desires to surrendered men, and why second chances are not just possible—they’re God’s specialty.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  • The terrifying moment Tim heard a voice in the mirror predict his death—and what happened next
  • Why running from God's calling only leads to “sleepless slavery,” and how true freedom is found
  • How the relentless prayers, kindness, and follow-through of one friend changed Tim’s eternity—and why your one act of faith could do the same
  • The secret to lasting transformation: how time in God’s presence leads to both healing and purpose
  • What the Bible really means when it says "delight yourself in the Lord—and He will give you the desires of your heart”
  • Why real freedom is found not in trying harder, but in letting Jesus be the boss of your life
  • How to walk out sobriety, purpose, and calling—one day at a time
  • Tim’s hard-won lessons from 36 years sober, including practical wisdom you can use TODAY
  • The real truth about God’s approval: why you already have it, long before you ever “get your act together”
  
  Whether you’re stuck in addiction, striving for purpose, longing for transformation, or just curious how God can use your story—this episode is for you. It’s raw, unfiltered, and packed with the hope, courage, and practical steps you need to experience God’s best.

  Have you ever wondered if God really sees you—or if He’s truly with you in the toughest, darkest moments of your life? If you’ve felt alone, overwhelmed, or driven to fix things in your own strength, you’re not alone—and this episode is for YOU.
  
  Tim and Stewart unpack what it means to have “the Lord as your Shepherd,” and why that ancient truth is radically relevant to men (and women) today. Through honest stories, practical wisdom, and raw vulnerability, they show how God’s presence, protection, and provision are available right now—no matter how messy, broken, or doubtful you might feel.
  
  What You’ll Find in This Episode:
  
  
  
  • Why David—himself a shepherd and a king—chose to identify as a sheep and what that means for your everyday struggles
  • How God’s guidance, discipline, and abundance are real, even when you walk through the “valley of the shadow”
  • Why Jesus Himself quoted Psalm 22 on the cross—and the staggering truth about suffering, separation, and God’s love for you
  • How to recognize—and resist—the “voices of the wolves” (doubt, fear, and lies) that tempt you to run from your Shepherd
  • Unfiltered stories from Tim and Stewart’s own lives about trusting God when everything feels out of control
  • Practical steps for finding stillness, real rest, and healing—even in chaos
  • What it actually looks like to “be real” with God, process tough emotions, and let Jesus restore your soul
  • A fresh perspective on abundance—why God’s blessings often overflow, and how you can build a greater capacity to be loved
  
  
  This isn’t self-help dressed up in scripture. It’s a call to true freedom, honest faith, and letting God be the Shepherd who never leaves or forsakes you. If you’re ready for deeper purpose, clarity, and the confidence that only comes from being fully known—and unconditionally loved—by your Creator, don’t miss this episode.

  We dive headfirst into the truth about masculinity, identity, shame, and the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Forget quick fixes and surface-level tips—let’s talk about being anchored to the Creator, set free from shame, and equipped to lead, love, and live with boldness.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  
  • Why most self-help advice fails—and what God’s design for manhood actually is
  • How shame, guilt, and pride keep you stuck (and how Jesus sets you free from every one)
  • The real story of Jesus: not just a Sunday ritual, but the King, Creator, and sustainer of your whole life
  • How culture’s message of “find your own truth” is sabotaging men’s purpose and strength
  • Practical wisdom for breaking free from empty religion and walking in true victory
  • The power of surrender, the difference between shame and guilt, and why Jesus is the hero of your story
  • How to start (or deepen) your relationship with Jesus—and why it changes everything from the inside out
  • Real talk on purity, purpose, accountability, and living a life you’re proud of
  • Clear, biblical answers to help you find unshakeable confidence and lead your family well
  Whether you’re new to faith, struggling with shame, or just ready to level up as a man of God—this conversation brings the straight talk, hope, and practical steps you need.

  We dive headfirst into the truth about masculinity, identity, shame, and the supremacy of Jesus Christ. Forget quick fixes and surface-level tips—let’s talk about being anchored to the Creator, set free from shame, and equipped to lead, love, and live with boldness.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  
  • Why most self-help advice fails—and what God’s design for manhood actually is
  • How shame, guilt, and pride keep you stuck (and how Jesus sets you free from every one)
  • The real story of Jesus: not just a Sunday ritual, but the King, Creator, and sustainer of your whole life
  • How culture’s message of “find your own truth” is sabotaging men’s purpose and strength
  • Practical wisdom for breaking free from empty religion and walking in true victory
  • The power of surrender, the difference between shame and guilt, and why Jesus is the hero of your story
  • How to start (or deepen) your relationship with Jesus—and why it changes everything from the inside out
  • Real talk on purity, purpose, accountability, and living a life you’re proud of
  • Clear, biblical answers to help you find unshakeable confidence and lead your family well
  Whether you’re new to faith, struggling with shame, or just ready to level up as a man of God—this conversation brings the straight talk, hope, and practical steps you need.

  Men, if you’ve ever hit rock bottom, battled addiction, struggled with hidden pain, or felt like you’re trying to climb out of a pit you can’t escape—this is YOUR episode. Michael gets honest about his journey from childhood trauma and high-flying career success, to 27 arrests, homelessness, and ultimately, a prison cell where his life was radically changed by the grace of Jesus Christ.
  
  If you’re a man who’s tired of quick fixes, religious clichés, or just going through the motions, we invite you to hear how redefining “rock bottom” led Michael—and can lead you—to the true foundation: relationship with Christ and becoming the man you’re made to be.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  • Michael’s dramatic testimony: From family trauma, addiction, and 27 mug shots to radical rescue and restored purpose
  • Real talk on shame, brokenness, and the traps men fall into (even “successful” men) 
  • How prison and a simple act of service kickstarted a journey to faith and freedom—even when surrounded by murderers and outcasts 
  • Why forgiveness (for yourself and others) is the breakthrough you’re craving • Redefining “rock bottom”—Discovering God in your lowest moment, trading performance for freedom
  • Dealing with fatherlessness, identity issues, and breaking generational cycles • Why EVERY man is an addict—and how to finally get free from strongholds, not just cover them up 
  • Powerful, practical steps for finding a mentor, becoming a spiritual leader, and taking back your home
  • An invitation to start (or restart) your walk with Jesus—honestly, humbly, and right where you are 
  • How to join a brotherhood of men who are becoming sons, fathers, and leaders God’s way
  And so much more.
  
  If you’re searching for answers, feel like you keep falling short, or just want to learn what it means to step up as a man—don’t miss this bold call to purpose and freedom.

  Nathaniel gets radically honest about everything—from childhood trauma, addiction and fame, to that life-altering moment in a jail cell where he finally met the relentless grace of Jesus.We go deep into what it means to be a true son of God, break down the real barriers that keep men from intimacy with their Heavenly Father, and offer practical wisdom for breaking free from self-reliance, shame, and the “checklist Christianity” that leaves so many men empty.
  
  What You’ll Experience in This Episode:
  
  • Nathaniel’s raw story—from abandonment and fame (MTV’s Real World) to addiction, suicide, and radical rescue by Jesus
  • How “successful” men silently struggle (and why you’re not alone, no matter how it looks on the outside) • The journey from orphan mindset to knowing God as Father—and why most men never get there
  • Why solitude with God changes everything (and why most of us have never truly experienced it) • How to break the cycle of shame, secrecy, and performance-driven faith
  • What father wounds do to a man—and how to find true healing and identity as a beloved son
  •  Real talk on originality, comparison, and why you don’t have to have it all together to be used by God
  • Nathaniel’s calling to set the table for other men: the story behind True North Retreats
  • Practical steps for making space for God in the chaos, hearing His voice, and letting Him father you
  • An invitation to radical grace: why you can finally stop performing and start receiving…and much more!
    
    Men, if you’re ready for more depth, more freedom, and more of God’s relentless love—this is your invitation. Don’t settle for distraction, overwhelm, and going through the motions. Join us for real talk that will help you step into sonship and become the man you were created to be.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Join us on this episode of the Stand Up Dude Podcast as we sit down with Brock Gill, a former world-renowned illusionist turned motorcycle missionary. Brock shares his incredible journey of full surrender to God’s calling, from performing magic tricks, illusions, and stunts on global stages to riding motorcycles across the country and around the world to spread the Gospel.
  
  In this powerful conversation, Brock opens up about:
  
  
  
  
  
  • How he transitioned from a 26-year career as an illusionist to a life of adventure and ministry on two wheels.
    
    
  • The moment God whispered to him during a cross-country motorcycle ride, leading him to start Moto Mission, a ministry that combines his love for motorcycles with evangelism.
    
    
  • The challenges of leaving behind a successful career and stepping into the unknown, trusting God’s plan even when it didn’t make sense.
    
    
  • His recent mission to Ukraine, where he rode motorcycles, shared the Gospel, and even gave away a bike to a man who had been praying for one.
    
    
  • The importance of hearing God’s voice and how to discern His direction in your life, even when it feels risky or unconventional.
    
    
  • Brock also teases his upcoming book, "The Adventurist: Full Surrender, All Adventure", where he dives deeper into his story and the lessons he’s learned about faith, surrender, and living a life of purpose.
  
  Whether you’re a believer, a seeker, or just someone who loves a good adventure story, this episode will inspire you to tune in to God’s voice and take bold steps of faith.
  
  Key Takeaways:
  
  1. Full Surrender: Brock’s story is a testament to what happens when you fully surrender to God’s plan, even when it means leaving behind what’s comfortable.
     
     
  2. Adventure in Faith: Faith isn’t just about belief—it’s about stepping into the unknown and trusting God to lead the way.
     
     
  3. Hearing God’s Voice: Learn how to discern God’s voice through scripture, community, and the opportunities He places in your path.

  In this episode, we uncover the truth behind the MGTOW movement. Learn about the allure and the lies surrounding Men Going Their Own Way.
  
  Join us, your hosts, Tim Bisagno and Stewart White, in this episode of the Stand Up Dude Podcast, as we delve into the "Men Going Their Own Way" (MGTOW) movement. We'll explore its origins, beliefs, and the societal issues it aims to address, such as divorce court biases and the stigma surrounding men's mental health. While we recognize these concerns, we also critique MGTOW for its flawed solutions and negative views on women. We advocate for a biblical perspective on masculinity, highlighting the importance of vulnerability, accountability, and the inherent dignity of all individuals. We encourage you to embrace a Christ-centered approach to true masculinity.

Glenn shares his journey of understanding his identity in Christ before diving into ministry, and discusses how men can fight the spiritual battle that faces all Christians. Glenn then discusses the book "Sit, Walk, Stand" by Watchman Nee, which outlines the teachings of Ephesians. This episode powefully illustrates the importance of resting in our identity (sitting), living out our faith (walking), and standing firm in our purpose so we can go to battle with the spiritual warfare in which we find ourselves. This gospel-centered episode encourages men to embrace their God-given identity and serve from a place of acceptance.
