Most men do not fail because they are weak. They fail because they are lying to themselves about their pain.Join the Free Men of Greatness Brotherhood here - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogIf you are successful on the outside but feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected on the inside, this episode will speak directly to what you have been carrying silently.In this video, Ryan James Miller exposes the five lies most men believe about their wounds and why those lies quietly sabotage their faith, leadership, marriage, health, and sense of purpose. Many high-performing men were taught to stay strong, stay silent, and keep moving. The problem is that ignored pain does not disappear. It leaks.This video unpacks how unhealed wounds show up as short tempers, emotional distance at home, overworking, numbing behaviors, dry faith, and a constant pressure to prove yourself. It also challenges the belief that time, hustle, or success will solve what only truth, ownership, and brotherhood can heal.You will hear why silence is not strength, why your past still affects your present if it is unhealed, and why healing does not weaken men but stabilizes them. This conversation is for men who want alignment, not just achievement, and greatness defined God’s way.Resources and next stepsJoin the Free Men of Greatness Brotherhood here - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.comTake the Five Pillars of Greatness Assessment Today - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/the-five-pillars-assessmentBecome a Man of Greatness by downloading our workbook - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/men-of-greatness-workbookJoin our Free Men of Greatness Brotherhood - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogWe help men overcome feeling stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected from their purpose by aligning their faith, values, and actions through intentional coaching, community, and accountability in order to lead with confidence, strengthen their relationships, and create a lasting impact.Subscribe for more episodes on faith driven leadership, healing and identity, and purpose aligned success.Do not forget to leave a comment.

Obedient action doesYou do not change to save something. You change to become someoneIntegrity does not guarantee outcomes, but it guarantees clarityKey insights and quotes"Awareness isnt enough. It cant be enough.""What you manage, you keep. What you eliminate, you leave.""God does not call men to try harder. He calls men to walk different.""Greatness isnt built through intention.

Christian men are losing credibility minute by minute.Not because they lack strength or conviction, but because too many are swallowing misinformation, reposting unverified claims, and calling it discernment. This episode is a direct call to men who want to lead with clarity, integrity, and biblical truth in a culture drowning in chaos.CALL TO ACTION: If this message matters to you, share this episode with one man whose influence is too valuable to waste on confusion.In this episode of Unlocking Greatness, Ryan James Miller confronts the growing crisis of credibility among Christian men. Using recent cultural events and the explosion of conspiracy thinking as a backdrop, Ryan challenges high-performing, faith-driven men to reclaim their authority by grounding themselves in truth, wisdom, and Scripture.Ryan explains why distrust of institutions can be understandable, but how unfiltered distrust quickly turns into paranoia and pride. He draws a clear distinction between biblical discernment and flesh-driven suspicion, reminding listeners that God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.Key topics discussed:Why Christian men are losing influence by reposting unverified narratives.How emotion, ego, and fear masquerade as discernment.The difference between being anti-establishment and being biblically wise.How misinformation damages your witness at home, at work, and in the Kingdom.Why truth must be anchored in both Scripture and evidence.How to evaluate sources by motive, not volume or popularity.What it looks like to lead with integrity in a world addicted to outrage.Three Core Moves for Men of GodDiscernment over distrust"The simple believe every word, but the prudent gives thought to his steps." Proverbs 14:15Fact + faith = firepower"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32Influence with integrity"The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of fools spews folly." Proverbs 15:2He also shares a composite real-world scenario many men will recognize. A solid Christian leader slowly loses credibility, peace, and influence by consuming and sharing noise instead of truth. The turning point comes when he resets his inputs, anchors himself in the Word, and chooses clarity over chaos.Transformation path:Confusion to clarityEmotion to evidenceReacting to leadingNoise to wisdomAre you more informed by the algorithm than by the Word?This episode challenges men to slow down, verify what they believe and share, and remember that credibility is one of the greatest stewardship responsibilities God has entrusted to them.This conversation is not just about one cultural moment. It is about the opportunity Christian men have to model wisdom, stability, and truth in a world desperate for it.And check out the links below to learn more about how we can help you achieve greatness. 👇Become a Man of Greatness by joining our FREE Community: https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogTake the Five Pillars of Greatess Assessment Today: https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/the-five-pillars-assessmentBecome a Man of Greatness by downloading our workbook: https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/men-of-greatness-workbookSubscribe for more episodes on faith-driven leadership, biblical discernment, and living aligned with Gods design.Dont forget to leave a comment—what can you add to this topic?Podcast recording and editing with Riversidehttps://riverside.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerSimple AI Recoding Toolhttps://plaudus.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerLets connect!X – https://twitter.com/theryanjamesmilLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalesproInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/theryanjamesmiller

Most men don’t realize they’re living a story someone else wrote for them. Success looks solid on the outside, yet inside there’s a quiet ache, a gap between who they are and who God created them to be. This episode shows you how to stop drifting, reclaim authorship, and write the next chapter of your life with intention, clarity, and spiritual alignment.Become a Man of Greatness by joining our FREE Community: https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogEvery man reaches a moment when he senses that the life he’s built is too small for the calling God has placed on him. In this episode, Ryan breaks down how to recognize that moment and what it looks like to step into the story God actually designed for you. You will learn why alignment precedes ambition, how daily formation shapes long-term legacy, and why a 12-month plan grounded in God’s purpose can transform your entire trajectory.Ryan shares real stories of high-capacity men who have hit every target but still feel empty because they’re misaligned spiritually and emotionally. He explains how the Closing the GAP framework helps men get grounded in faith, live authentically, and pursue purpose with intention. As he says, “The next chapter doesn’t begin when circumstances change. It begins when you change.”You will also discover why legacy is built through consistent formation instead of big moments, how your habits are shaping generations after you, and how the Five Pillars of Greatness give you a practical structure for spiritual discipline, relational strength, health, stewardship, and leadership.The episode culminates in one powerful challenge: write the next 12 months of your life on purpose instead of letting the world write it for you. Ryan walks you through evaluating where misalignment lives, choosing daily actions that build integrity and discipline, and setting clear intentions in each of the five pillars so you can become the man God is calling you to be.Key Takeaways:Alignment with God is the foundation of real transformation. Ambition without alignment leads to exhaustion.Legacy grows from daily formation. Small, consistent disciplines shape the man your family and community will remember.A 12-month plan turns calling into clarity and clarity into meaningful action.Spiritual formation is not self-improvement. It is obedience, identity, and purpose in motion.You cannot rise alone. Brotherhood and accountability accelerate growth, consistency, and impact.And check out the links below to learn more about how we can help you achieve greatness. 👇Become a Man of Greatness by joining our FREE Community - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogTake the Five Pillars of Greatess Assessment Today - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/the-five-pillars-assessmentBecome a Man of Greatness by downloading our workbook - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/men-of-greatness-workbookSubscribe for more episodes on spiritual alignment, leadership growth, and building a legacy that outlasts you.Don’t forget to leave a comment—what can you add to this topic?Podcast recording and editing with Riverside - https://riverside.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerSimple AI Recoding Tool - https://plaudus.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerLet's connect!X – https://twitter.com/theryanjamesmilLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalesproInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/theryanjamesmiller

There comes a moment when every man realizes the real battle is not out there in his business, career, or responsibilities. It is inside him. The gap between who he is today and the man God created him to be grows wider every time he outruns honesty, silence, or alignment. And until he confronts it, nothing will change.Become a Man of Greatness by joining our FREE Community: https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogIn this episode, Ryan exposes the hidden reason so many accomplished, faith-driven men still feel tired, disconnected, or spiritually flat, even when life looks successful from the outside. He explains why high-capacity men drift, what causes the internal gap to widen, and how alignment, not ambition, becomes the only path to authentic fulfillment.You will hear why success without alignment always leads to emptiness and why drifting happens not because men are reckless but because they are running hard in the wrong direction or running alone. Ryan shares stories of entrepreneurs and leaders who built impressive lives yet found their marriages fragile, their health slipping, and their faith fading into background noise.Key Topics Discussed:Why high-performing men struggle with emptiness even when goals are metHow the internal gap forms and why ignoring it makes life heavierThe danger of performing instead of aligningThe Five Pillars of Greatness and how cracks in one pillar weaken everythingWhy adding more pressure is not the answer and why alignment isHow isolation destroys even the strongest menWhy brotherhood is essential to sustaining long-term transformationMain Takeaways:The problem is not ability. It is alignment. When a man is not grounded in faith, authentic in action, and purposeful in pursuit, the distance between who he is and who God designed him to be will grow.Closing the gap is not about doing more. It is about being aligned with what actually matters. Faith, relationships, health, stewardship, and leadership must be rightly prioritized.No man can keep the gap closed alone. Transformation is sustained through brotherhood, accountability, and shared commitment.You cannot transform what you refuse to acknowledge. Naming the gap is the first step toward closing it.If you are tired of drifting, tired of carrying the weight in silence, and ready to align your life with the man God created you to be, this episode will show you the path forward.And check out the links below to learn more about how we can help you achieve greatness. 👇Become a Man of Greatness by joining our FREE Community - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/mogTake the Five Pillars of Greatess Assessment Today - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/the-five-pillars-assessmentBecome a Man of Greatness by downloading our workbook - https://coach.ryanjamesmiller.com/men-of-greatness-workbookSubscribe for more episodes on faith-driven leadership, alignment in life and business, and becoming the man God created you to be.Don’t forget to leave a comment—what can you add to this topic?Podcast recording and editing with Riverside - https://riverside.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerSimple AI Recoding Tool - https://plaudus.sjv.io/ryanjamesmillerLet's connect!X – https://twitter.com/theryanjamesmilLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/rjmsalesproInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/theryanjamesmiller
