Ep 38 Five Critical Challenges Facing Men Today, Part 2 - Career

July 23, 2025 Today Rob is in part two in a series on the Five Critical Challenges facing every man. In episode 37 he talked about the challenges of the man's willingness to Surrender his life to God and the Purpose that results from that surrender. Today, Rob is talking about challenge number three, which is rightly understanding one's career. While the culture teaches us that manning up means kicking butt, taking names, and taking the hill, Rob is talking about overcoming these challenges in a very different way. Whether you're at the gym, on a flight, driving to an appointment, or just relaxing, this podcast is a resource for you to take it to the next level.
