121: Bill Johnson: The Makings of a Man // Faith that led to 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela

Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in for this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series, as Jason interviews pastor, father, and revivalist, Bill Johnson, in this convicting conversation on the core value of faith.We begin this episode by sharing the inspirational story of the life of Nelson Mandela, whose victory was not just political but also a profound testament to the power of faith and resilience in overcoming oppression and injustice. Arrested for his activism, Mandela spent 27 years in prison, enduring harsh conditions and separation from his family. Mandela's unwavering belief in a better future fueled his resolve, even in the darkest moments. Upon his release, he led a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy, ultimately becoming South Africa's first black president. For many of us men, we find ourselves grappling with two types of faith: faith in God, who we are serving, and faith in what we are doing. Having a conviction of what we have been assigned to can sometimes be much easier than living a life in purity of heart—but the ease doesn’t make it right. There are a lot of men who have faith in the mission and assignment of their lives, but find themselves standing shakily in trusting the One who has led them to their mission or work. We can be committed to our jobs, our assignments, and roles, and not always have purity of heart. When we offer ourselves to the Lord for His glory, we maintain what is precious and invaluable: the constant awareness of God’s presence and Person. We hope this episode encourages our men to grow in faith, purity of heart, and the celebration of what God is doing.Bill Johnson is a fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the Holy Spirit. He has been pastor of Bethel Church since 1996 with a one-word mission statement: revival. Bill’s priority in life has been to learn how to host the Presence of God and minister to Him, and in fruit, he has remained passionate about seeing the Kingdom of Heaven invade Earth across all spheres of influence. Connect with Bill:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/billjohnsonministries/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BillJohnsonMinistries YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BillJohnsonMinistries Website: https://bjm.org/about/ Resources: https://bjm.org/resources-list/ ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

120: Tracey Amstrong: The Makings of a Man “Self-Reliance”// Great Leaders are Self-Reliant ask Ernest Shackleton

Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jason interviews Tracey Armstrong in this uplifting and empowering conversation on self-reliance in this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series.In our introduction, we tell the story of self-reliance powerfully demonstrated by renown polar explorer, Ernest Shackleton and his Endurance crew of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. During the Endurance Expedition of 1914-1917, their ship became trapped in a pack of ice as they were crossing the Atlantic. Twenty-two members of the crew remained on Elephant Island as the men endured entrapment and frigid weather. Miraculously and courageously, Ernest was determined to not lose even one of his team members in the process. After traveling from Elephant Island with two others, to South Georgia Island to organize a rescue mission, Shackleton returned to his crew after over a year stranded in the Antarctic, successfully rescuing all. His leadership ability to keep his crew focused in the midst of adversity has made the Endurance Mission a testament to the human spirit in the midst of adversity.We all have a problem-solver inside us. The people who lead us are those who pushed past temporary deficiencies. Great leaders are self-reliant not because they want to be, but because they are in a position to do what no one else is willing to do.This is the kind of self-reliance we need in this season and this generation. Tracey is a social and economic entrepreneur and a success coach to achievers and wealth builders. Tracey believes God’s people must have spiritual, social and economic influence. He has a powerful voice in the men's movement, prophetic gifting, and in life. Tracey and his wife, Nathalie, are on the front line of the new generation of “supernaturalists” being raised up in the world today, as pastors of Citadel Church, located in Seattle Washington. Together with their team, they are committed to reach this generation that is asleep spiritually and absent in most churches. Tracey and Nathalie are equipping the emerging generation for spiritual, social and economic influence.Connect with Tracey:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traceyarmstrong/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/influencerscoach/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@influencerscoach Website: https://www.traceyarmstrong.school ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

119: Julian Adams: The Makings of a Man “Nobility” Sir Nicholas Winton and 669 Czech Children

Hey, BraveCo Men! Listen in as Jason and  Julian Adams engage in a fascinating conversation on nobility in this week’s episode of our “Makings of a Man” series.The outworking of nobility is made known in the furnace of pressure. What do we do in the moments when we choose to walk in integrity in the workplace, or in laying our lives down for our families? Or, when we choose to lean into a decision that will likely work against us, but conviction says to do it regardless? Nobility makes decisions that are consistent with the character of Jesus, and is formed when no one is looking. Julian is a director of Frequentsee and leader of The Table Boston church-plant. He is an author, spiritual advisor, revelatory teacher and leadership consultant in political, business and creative spheres. An internationally recognised prophet, Julian has a proven track record in the fulfillment of words released over individuals, communities and nations. He is a director for NEWDAY United, a charity based in South Africa and England that serves the poor and vulnerable in Southern Africa.In our introduction we tell the story of true nobility. Sir Nicholas Winton was known for organizing the rescue of 669 Czech children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia during the 9 months before war broke out in 1939. He died on 1st July 2015 aged 106.His story is told in a new film, One Life, based on his biography of the same name, written by his daughter Barbara. One Life is released in UK cinemas on 1 January 2024, and worldwide in 2024.Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/6ethollg-PIConnect with Julian:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_julianadams/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/frequentsee.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@_JulianAdams Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/214oBIbsg80VYHrujUDgV1 Website:https://www.julianadams.org/ Latest Book: https://www.julianadams.org/terranova Foundations of Masculinity:https://www.smallgroups.braveco.org ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.
