He emphasizes that without Jesus, the cross is just a symbol of death and shame, but through Him, it becomes a symbol of redemption, forgiveness, and new life.

In this episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony and Kyler tackle a question that is common in Christian circles: How do we know when God is truly speaking?Many people say, “God told me,” but how can we know if what we are hearing is actually from God? The answer is simple—but often overlooked. God has already spoken through His Word.In this conversation, Anthony and Kyler break down why the Bible is the standard by which every thought, feeling, decision, and spiritual prompting must be measured. As men called to lead our families and communities, we cannot rely on emotions, culture, or personal opinions to guide us. Instead, we must test everything against Scripture.They explore how the Bible provides the blueprint for leadership, why our hearts and emotions can mislead us, and how testing every spirit against the Word protects us from deception. Just like the Bereans in Acts 17, believers are called to search the Scriptures daily and measure everything against God’s truth.If you have ever wondered how to discern God’s voice, how to lead your family with confidence, or how to avoid spiritual deception, this episode will challenge you to return to the one place where truth never changes: the Word of God.

Doubt doesn’t always look like defeat. Sometimes it looks like hesitation.In this episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony and Kyler discuss one of the enemy’s most effective strategies: planting seeds of doubt in the minds of believers. From the Garden of Eden to our everyday lives, the enemy often doesn’t need to destroy us—he just needs us to question what God has said about who we are.We explore how doubt can creep in during both difficult seasons and moments of success, why knowing the Word of God is essential for combating these thoughts, and how Scripture provides the standard that brings us back to truth.Through biblical examples like Eve, Elijah, David, Isaiah, and Paul, we talk about how even faithful believers experience seasons of doubt—and how God uses those seasons for refinement and growth.If you’ve ever questioned your calling, your purpose, or whether you’re enough, this conversation is for you.Remember: your feelings may be real, but they are not always the truth. God’s Word is the standard that anchors us in every season.If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who may need to hear it.📩 Questions or feedback: [email protected]

In this powerful episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony sits down with Wayne Taylor from Australia as he shares his raw testimony of transformation and how one encounter with Jesus redirected the course of his life forever. What began as a broken young man searching for purpose became a calling that would ignite a global movement known as Average Joes—a brotherhood equipping ordinary men to live boldly, lead faithfully, and reconcile others back to God.Wayne reminds us that ministry is not a title—it is an identity. Every man in Christ has been given the ministry of reconciliation. Through obedience, street preaching, and unwavering faith, Wayne stepped into his calling and watched God multiply his “yes” into something far bigger than himself. This conversation is a wake-up call for men who believe they are too ordinary to be used by God. The truth is, God has always used average men to accomplish extraordinary things.If you have ever wondered whether God can use your story, your pain, or your past—this episode will challenge you to stop waiting and start walking in the calling God has already placed on your life.

In this episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony Curnutt and Kyler dive into a powerful conversation about growth, mindset, and learning from the seasons of life. Too often, men repeat the same struggles because they refuse to slow down and ask the hard question: What is God trying to teach me right now?This episode challenges men to stop wasting painful seasons and instead allow God to use them for refinement, maturity, and spiritual growth. Anthony and Kyler unpack how failing to learn the lesson will cause you to relive the season—over and over again—and why God expects growth from His sons.If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re running in circles, this conversation will push you to shift your mindset, embrace discipline, and pursue the man God is shaping you to become.This is a call to intentional growth, spiritual leadership, and refusing to settle for stagnation.

Repentance is not weakness—it is the turning point of transformation.In Part 3 of our series The Process, Anthony and Kyler dive deep into the biblical meaning of repentance and why it is essential for every man who wants to walk with God. Too often, repentance is misunderstood as guilt, shame, or punishment. But Scripture reveals that repentance is actually an act of surrender—a conscious decision to turn away from sin and realign your life with Christ.This episode explores the reality that every man will fail, but failure does not define you—your response does. True repentance is not just feeling sorry; it is changing direction. It is allowing God to confront your heart, reshape your mind, and restore your purpose.God does not call perfect men. He calls repentant men.If you are tired of carrying guilt, stuck in cycles of sin, or wondering how to move forward after failure, this episode will challenge you and remind you that repentance is not the end of your story—it is the beginning of restoration.

Failure is often where men think the story ends—but Scripture tells a different story.In Part 2 of our series on the process, Anthony and Kyler walk through Peter’s collapse in Luke 22 and the grace-filled restoration that followed. This episode confronts a hard truth: failure does not disqualify a man—unrepentant failure does. Jesus didn’t say if Peter would return, but when.We explore how Peter’s denial exposed his weakness, yet became the very tool God used to shape him into a leader in the book of Acts. This conversation tackles the tension between grace and repentance, warns against “cheap grace,” and reminds men that sanctification is a process forged through struggle, humility, and restoration.If you’ve failed, fallen, or questioned whether God can still use you—this episode is for you. Failure doesn’t have to be your tombstone. In God’s hands, it becomes your teacher.

In this episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony Curnutt and Kyler dive deep into the process God uses to shape men into who He’s calling them to be.

We talk about sanctification, obedience, perseverance, and why God often works through pressure, discomfort, and waiting. The process may be painful, slow, and humbling—but it’s purposeful.If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or tempted to quit, this episode is a reminder that God isn’t wasting your season. He’s forming you through it.

In this episode of Real Men Talk, Anthony Curnutt digs into a truth most men feel but rarely admit—we want to lead well, but we’re starving ourselves spiritually. Anthony exposes the alarming statistics on how little men engage Scripture and shows why this lack of time in the Word is crippling their spiritual strength, emotional stability, and leadership at home.More than that, he unpacks how Bible reading isn’t meant to stay a cold discipline. Drawing from 1 John 1, he reveals how God invites men into real fellowship—transforming reading from a “have to” into a “get to.” Through compelling research, biblical principles, and practical steps, Anthony challenges listeners to take a 30-Day Bible Reading Commitment and discover firsthand how God reshapes a man’s heart, habits, and household through His Word.If you’ve ever felt spiritually dry, disconnected, or stuck, this episode will show you the path back to strength.

In Part 3 of our series on sin, Anthony and Kyler confront one of the most dangerous trends in modern Christianity—ignoring sin in the name of comfort.

In Part 2 of our series on sin, we dig deeper into the uncomfortable truth—sin is more than behavior, it’s rebellion against God. Too often, culture and even the church reduce sin to a list of “bad actions,” but the Bible reveals it as a heart issue that separates us from our Creator. In this episode, Anthony and Kyler challenge men to see sin for what it really is: not just a mistake, but a spiritual disease that requires the cure of Christ’s blood. We discuss how cultural redefinitions have distorted our understanding of sin, the danger of minimizing it from the pulpit, and the responsibility of men to lead their families in truth. This is not just a conversation about morality—it’s about discipleship, leadership, and the urgent need to call sin what it is. Only when we recognize the depth of our rebellion can we fully embrace the grace and justice of God. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this first episode of our new series on spiritual leadership in the home, Kyler Sowell and I (Anthony Curnutt) go back to the very beginning—Creation itself—to uncover the foundation of God’s design for men to lead spiritually. From the Garden of Eden, we see that God gave Adam the responsibility to lead, protect, and obey, even before Eve was created. Though Eve took the first bite, it was Adam who was held accountable. Why? Because spiritual leadership was entrusted to him from the start. We unpack Genesis 2:15–17, Romans 5:12, and the principle of primogeniture, showing how biblical leadership is about responsibility, not superiority. This conversation lays the groundwork for understanding why spiritual leadership isn’t optional—it’s essential. 🔥 If you want to lead your home with strength, purpose, and biblical clarity, it all starts here.
