From burning his life to the ground to rebuilding it through God, discipline, and truth, this conversation is a raw look at what real manhood and spiritual leadership mean in today’s world.JD and Chris discuss the dangers of passivity in modern men, the decay of traditional masculinity, and how society’s redefinition of strength has left a generation lost. Chris opens up about his meth addiction, homelessness, failed marriage, and a near-suicide attempt—only to find his way back through faith and purpose. Together, they unpack the collapse of family structure, the importance of male mentorship, and why men must be both dangerous and disciplined to protect, provide, and lead.This episode hits on the uncomfortable truths about what’s gone wrong with men today and what it takes to rise back up. From fatherhood to faith, it’s a conversation about rebuilding from nothing, reclaiming responsibility, and living in alignment with God’s order.Chapters:00:00 – The Power of Thought & Law of Attraction02:01 – Who Is Chris Today05:10 – Burning It All Down09:30 – The Moment God Stepped In12:00 – Addiction, Chaos & the Search for Truth15:15 – Redefining Masculinity19:45 – Living in God’s Order22:30 – The Fall of Manhood in Society30:20 – Standing Firm in a Weak World38:00 – Fitness, Faith & Discipline44:00 – Gratitude, Perspective & Peace50:45 – Helping Other Men SucceedFollow Chris:Instagram: @chrisreignitesWebsite: https://chrisgregorymentor.comFollow Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jd_denham_fitFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/JD-Denham/61563578940850/Fitness & Diet: https://www.jddenhamfit.comIntro Music: Pennywise – Let Us Hear Your Voice
