12 Best Practices - Heroic Manhood Part 1

What if the manliest thing you could be is... hilarious? In this episode of the Men's Leadership Community Podcast, hosts Andy and Obie kick off "Heroic Manhood" with the first two of the Four G's — Gospel and Gratitude — and flip the script on what strong, faithful manhood actually looks like.Most men are walking through life disoriented — lost, dizzy, hope fleeting, with no compass and no map. The gospel, the guys argue, is a man's true orientation: it tells you where you stand, where you're headed, and how to get there. And when Martin Luther finally understood it, he described the gospel with a word almost no one uses for faith: hilaritas — hilarity. Laughter. Joy. The world doesn't need more grim, self-serious men; it needs men marked by joy and gratitude that can't be shaken by their circumstances.In this episode we cover:Gospel orientation: your compass and map in a dark, disoriented worldTrue equality and true freedom — and why "doing whatever you want" isn't freedom at allAre you a slave to something you can't quit?
