Ascent for Men

Jesse asked the room: if your wife and your job were gone overnight, would you know who you are? Every man said he'd be lost. Every single one.These were Christian men. Church going men. Men who thought they had a foundation.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Free break down what actually happened at the Ascent for Men Summit, the moments that hit hardest, the questions that exposed the real problem, and why the biggest takeaway wasn't what either of them expected.They get into why so many men are living in their roles instead of their identity, what Matthew 7:24 has to do with why your life keeps falling apart, why you can't love your wife and kids past what you're willing to give yourself, the difference between a man building on rock and a man who doesn't know he's on sand, and what pod coaching is, why it exists, and why it should cost you something.The summit is over. The pod is open. The work is the same either way.New episode every Tuesday. Send this to a man who would have said he'd be lost.

Most men can't look themselves in the mirror and say "I love you." They call it hokey. The truth is they don't have the nerve because they've built their entire identity on things that can be taken away.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free go deep into what God actually says about who you are and why most men are living under an identity handed to them by their performance, their failures, and the enemy.They break down 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 2:20 line by line, why identity rooted in your role as a husband, father, or career will eventually collapse, the difference between who you are and what you do, why the toughest men in the room are often the most terrified to look themselves in the eye, and the mirror exercise that will either set you free or expose exactly where you're broken.Your wife can't give you what you won't give yourself. Your kids can't fill it. Your job never could.This episode will either confirm who you are or force you to finally figure it out.New episode every Tuesday. If this hit you, send it to a man who needs it.

If your wife is short-tempered, checked out, or running the house alone, look in the mirror. She didn't become that woman on her own.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free break down the conversation most men's conferences are too soft to have: that the woman standing in front of you right now is a direct reflection of the man you've been choosing to be.Jesse tells the story of a random conversation at a homeschool event that turned into a gut-punch diagnosis of what's actually wrong in most marriages and why teaching wives to communicate better is step two when most men haven't done step one.They get into why men hand their responsibilities to their wives and then blame them for the fallout, the JaMarcus Russell analogy that every husband needs to hear, why the tone and temperature of your home is yours and yours alone, and what it actually looks like when a man earns respect instead of demanding it.You didn't get here overnight. She didn't either. But the way out starts with one man deciding to stop pointing outward.New episode every Tuesday. If this hit you, send it to a man who needs it.

Your family is in the room. Do you know where the exits are? Do you know who the threat is? Most men don't and they've never even thought about it.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free, retired Green Beret, founder of the Brotherhood, break down what it actually means to be dangerous: spiritually prepared, mentally switched on, and physically ready to protect your family in any room you walk into.They get into situational awareness, carrying a firearm, teaching your kids about weapons without creating fear, the PACE plan every family man needs, and why laziness is the real enemy of every husband and father alive right now.This isn't theory. These are two men who live this way and they're calling you up to do the same.If you want your wife and kids to feel safe because of who you are, not in spite of it, this episode is for you.New episode every Tuesday.

Most men are showing up soft, in their marriages, in their faith, in their homes and nobody around them is telling them the truth.Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free aren't here to be polite about it.Jesse is a men's coach, host of the Lions of Faith community, and a husband and father who has built his life around a faith first standard.
