The Heavy Weight of Manhood: The Mental Weight That's Crushing Christian Men – Average Joe Conversation w/ Jacob Duke EP 882

Is your calendar full but your soul empty? Are you sacrificing your family on the altar of busyness? In this 'Average Joe' conversation on The Men in the Arena Podcast, Pastor Jim Ramos brings in Jacob Duke, a local leader at The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon. Jacob asks a loaded question: What do you do if you are carrying too much mental weight? Jim dives deep into what it means for men to lead under pressure, avoid burnout, and stay rooted in their most important calling — their family. Learn how to define your capacity, trim the fat, and build a foundation that can withstand life's storms.  This episode is sponsored by Kids Outdoor Zone, an outdoor ministry for the men in your church.
