In this episode, Ben Kirksey from Workmatters discusses some of the biggest misconceptions men have when it comes work/faith integration.

We think you'll find his blue-collar, bare-knuckle approach to manhood inspiring, energizing, and a ton of fun.

You'll appreciate his clarity and insight on this important topic, and you'll get to hear him tell a great story about the worst purchase he's ever made in his life.

Robert Lewis has been teaching on the topic of manhood for over thirty years. Yes, you read that right: thirty years.

This isn't just a trip down memory lane. We promise you will be encouraged and inspired by Robert's insight and clarity.
