You Are The Man Podcast

This is Part 3 of our “The Battle for Our Children” series — The Battle for Our Girls.Our daughters are growing up in a world we never had to face. In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down for a father-led discussion on the hidden ways social media is shaping our girls’ identity, friendships, mental health, purity, and sense of worth.Based on key points from The Anxious Generation, we unpack why social media appears to harm girls more deeply than boys—through constant comparison, perfectionism, relational aggression, emotional contagion, loneliness, sexual pressure, and online predation.This is not just a conversation about screen time. This is a conversation about formation.Social media promises connection, but too often delivers comparison. It offers belonging, but leaves many girls more anxious, isolated, and insecure. And as fathers, we cannot afford to be passive while algorithms, influencers, strangers, and culture compete for the hearts of our daughters.

Series: The Battle for Our Children – Part 2: The Battle for Our BoysWhat is a digital childhood doing to our sons?In this episode, we take a hard look at the reality many parents don’t want to face. Our boys are growing up in a world flooded with screens, instant access, and isolation—and it’s shaping them in ways we cannot ignore.We talk about the mental impact—rising anxiety, lack of focus, and emotional detachment.The spiritual impact—disconnection from truth, purpose, and identity in Christ.The relational impact—fewer real friendships, less brotherhood, more loneliness.And we don’t shy away from the truth…When we hand over a smartphone too early, we may be opening the door to pornography, addiction, and struggles they are not equipped to fight.This is a wake-up call.If we do nothing, what kind of men are we raising?If we stay silent, who is shaping our sons?It’s not too late—but it’s time to step in, lead boldly, and fight for our boys.🔥 Listen now. Share with a parent. Start the conversation.Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast

The battle isn’t coming… it’s already here.On this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we kick off a powerful new series: “The Battle for Our Children.” This is a real conversation about a real problem—one that’s quietly reshaping the hearts, minds, and futures of the next generation.Drawing from The Anxious Generation, The War on Children, and Anxious for Nothing, we take a hard look at what’s happening right in front of us:The phone epidemicThe “great rewiring” of our kids’ brainsThe explosion of anxiety, depression, and isolationOur children are more connected than ever… yet more alone than ever.So the question is simple—but heavy:Do we actually care enough to do something about it?Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast

What does it really look like to answer the call of God—when it costs you everything comfortable?On this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down with Trav Kugler, a man who didn’t just talk about faith—he moved his entire life because of it.Trav shares what it meant to uproot his family and step into the unknown, leaving behind comfort to live on mission in Boston, Massachusetts. This isn’t just a story about relocation—it’s a story about obedience, sacrifice, and trusting God when the path doesn’t make sense.Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast

The time is now—for our children.In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we sit down with special guest Lucas Vanderwarker to talk about the powerful impact of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and why investing in the next generation has never been more important.We dive into the role FCA plays in shaping young athletes into strong leaders of faith, character, and integrity—and why sports can be one of the greatest mission fields we have. But this conversation goes deeper than the field.We challenge parents to step up and lead at home. Because no coach, no organization, and no program can replace what happens under your roof. Discipleship starts with mom and dad.

In this episode of the You Are The Man Podcast, Chuckie and Stephen sit down with Travis Agnew to talk about fatherhood, discipleship, and living with intentional purpose.Men often say family is their top priority, but our schedules tell the real story. Travis challenges fathers to examine where their time, energy, and leadership are really going.Your children are always watching.They are learning how to live, love, and follow Christ by watching you.The question every father must ask is simple:If your child mirrored your life… what kind of man would they become?No father leads perfectly.But the good news is this:It’s not too late to lead well.Start now.

Join us for our next episode with Trevor Guy as we discuss the call to step up and step out.Too many men are living on the sidelines—quiet, distracted, hesitant, waiting for the “right time.” In this episode of You Are The Man, we confront the giant of passivity head-on. Passivity kills purpose, silences leadership, and feeds doubt.It’s time to move from passive to productive. From hesitation to action. From silence to spiritual leadership.If you’ve been battling doubt, procrastination, or the feeling that you’re not enough—this episode will challenge you to step up, take responsibility, and lead with confidence at home, at work, and in your faith.

Have you ever wondered… am I on the right path?Join Chuckie and Stephen as they catch up after a few snow days and dive into a powerful episode of You Are The Man. Together, they unpack Proverbs 18:24 and the picture of God as a Father reaching out and saying, “Take My hand.”Like a child who trusts without hesitation, we’re invited to walk with Him — not ahead of Him. That kind of confidence is built in quiet time. Daily time in His Word and prayer is where clarity comes, trust grows, and direction is found.You don’t have to figure it out alone. Just take His hand.

Men, God does not call us to surrender once—He calls us to surrender every day. In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast, we talk about what daily surrender really looks like in our faith, our families, and our leadership. Join us for a powerful and honest conversation with our special guest and Man of the Week, Andrew Smith, as we challenge men to stop coasting, step out in obedience, and live fully submitted to God’s purpose. This is a call to real faith, real leadership, and real surrender.Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast

This year’s kickoff episode of You Are The Man Podcast is all about facing giants—the real ones men deal with every day: fear, anxiety, passivity, shame, isolation, temptation, and identity struggles.From 1 Samuel 17, Goliath didn’t call for an army.He called for a man.And that same question still echoes today.Will we stay silent…or will we step forward in faith?This year, we fight.This year, we lead.This year, we trust God.Christian men, fatherhood, discipleship, Spiritual leadership, podcast
