God's design has never been for a man to go at life alone. And yet, this is the place where so many men find themselves. Life is busy and responsibilities are demanding, but we are simply better off when we intentionally pursue growth in the community of other men. We become better Christ followers, husbands, dads, leaders, and men. Our podcast will focus on encouragement, prayer, and urge you to become the Godly Man you were created to be.
