There’s a lion on the prowl, and he’s not playing games. In this episode, Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin, and Jonathan Vinke call men to wake up, armor up, and fight back against the enemy that wants to take them out.

From humility that takes out the trash to rebellion that kills ministries, this conversation exposes how pride, comfort, and lust derail leaders—and how discipline, submission, and godly grit build them. Through stories of hunting lions, resisting temptation, and embracing discomfort, discover what it means to stand firm and act like men.
