Taming the Beast Within

What do a raging bull elephant and a redneck in a pickup have in common? More than you think. In this week’s Unleashed episode, Brent and Kevin take on one of the hardest battles a man can face—anger. When that inner fire flares up, it can either fuel purpose or destroy everything in its path. Brent shares two powerful true stories: one about a young bull elephant in musth who becomes uncontrollable without older bulls to guide him, and another about a tense moment on the road when a stranger’s outburst tempted to light Brent’s fuse—until the Holy Spirit put it out. Together, they unpack how unhealed wounds, fatherlessness, and pride can twist masculine strength into chaos. Using a powerful framework from Brent’s upcoming men’s small group study, The Big 5 Mankillers, they explore how men can turn reaction into redemption—learning to pause, invite God into the heat, and fight differently. You’ll discover how anger hides behind fear, shame, and disrespect. You’ll learn why true strength isn’t about control—it’s about surrender. And you’ll find out what it means to walk in power that’s fueled by peace, not pride.
