The Battle That Rages Within

So many men today are fighting silent battles—struggles that keep them awake at night, fuel midlife crises, and leave them asking, “Why do I feel the way I do?”   This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, we sit down with Brian McKenna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping men, women, teens, and families find healing and direction.   Brian unpacks the four biggest struggles men face today and shares practical ways to overcome them through a Christ-centered lens. He also gives powerful insight on how we can support the next generation as they face anxiety, loneliness, and identity challenges.   In this episode, Brian highlights the transformative power of honesty and authenticity, and why being real before God and others can change everything. Don’t miss this episode—it’s a conversation every man (and those who love them) needs to hear.   Follow us on YouTube Connect with us and Brian - [email protected] Chapters (00:00:01) - Known Legacy Podcast: Question of the Day(00:03:35) - Football season tickets at McKinney(00:06:11) - The high school football(00:07:41) - Friday Night Lights: Brian McKenna(00:10:34) - Brian's Story of Getting into Counseling(00:14:13) - How to Talk About Your Feelings in Counseling(00:19:03) - 99% of men feel alone(00:21:36) - Guitar Guys Talk About Loneliness and Anxiety(00:25:20) - The Search for Identity in the Church(00:30:51) - Christian Based Counselor(00:33:25) - Fast Five Questions(00:33:39) - Bono and The Irishman(00:35:02) - Where Would You Like to Go On A Vacation With Your Family(00:35:53) - Favorite books read by students(00:36:36) - Be Less Driven This Year(00:37:24) - Brian on The Known Legacy Podcast
