Nice and good are not the same word. Ask the Pharisees.If you've ever confused being agreeable with being good — said yes when you meant no, stayed quiet when the truth needed saying, kept the peace instead of confronting what actually needed confronting — this episode is for you. This is Built, Not Felt, a faith-based podcast for men who want biblical manhood without the toxic positivity.One of the best things that happened to me this year was learning to say no.
