Send us Fan Mail On today's PoM podcast episode we talk about "The Most Important Message of All Time" the ressurection of Jesus. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then we are people to be pitied. But if He is alive, and I believe He is and the first century followers believed He is, then that changes everything.

Send us Fan Mail On today's PoM podcast episode I sat down with Luke Detraz, author of "The War For Men, What The World Is Trying To Strip Away." Everywhere you look, men are drifting, discouraged, or defeated. Some are crushed by wounds that never healed. Others numb themselves with habits that never satisfy. Too many shrink back, living passive lives in a world that desperately needs their strength. But this isn’t who men were created to be. From the beginning, God called men to lead with...
Send us Fan Mail On today's PoM Podcast Episode I sit down with former University of Notre Dame football player Trevor Ruhland to talk about life beyond the game. Trevor shares his journey through college football, the pressure that comes with competing at a high level, and the hidden battle he faced with an eating disorder. This conversation goes deeper than sports. We unpack the mental toll that performance, identity, and expectations can have on a man—and what it looks like to confront tho...

Send a text In Joshua 24 we see the end of a life well lived. Joshua begins by reminding the nation of how the Lord has always gone before them. He then transitions to a strong charge to get them to lead their home well, to choose this day and everyday who they will serve. The problem is the people believe that saying the right things are more important than actually doing the right thing.

Send us Fan Mail In Joshua 23, we begin to wind down the life of Joshua. It is clear that he is old and advanced in years. Joshua gives the leaders clear instructions on how they should live, and a warning about what happens if they throw off restraint and live like the nations around them. Joshua has followed the Lord and led his people for many years now and it is time for him to leave this earth. He makes sure that before he leaves he tells reminds them of the truth that they h...

Send us Fan Mail In Joshua 22, the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh finally head home. After years of fighting faithfully alongside their brothers, they return to the east side of the Jordan. But before they cross over completely, they build an altar—an altar that almost sparks a civil war. What looked like rebellion was actually a desire for remembrance. What felt like division was really a plea for unity. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we unpack the tensio...
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we walk through Joshua 14–21 and confront a reality every man knows: waiting can be very difficult. The land had been promised. The battles had been fought. But now came the slow work of allotment, boundaries, and settling in. For some, the promise felt delayed. For others, it may have felt overlooked. Yet in the waiting, God was still working. In this episode we look at: Caleb’s unwavering faith — decades after the promise was ...
Send us Fan Mail In Mark 11 we see Jesus showing His displeasure of what has become His temple and what it was doing to those who were to benefit from it. Many times as men we appreciate the emotion that we see from Jesus. However when we step back and consider how we are bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, (1 Corinthians 3:16) we must consider how Jesus views the way we are taking care of our temple.

Send us Fan Mail In Joshua 13, we read the sobering words: “Joshua was old and advanced in years…” (Joshua 13:1). The battles have been many. The victories significant. The scars real. Yet the Lord tells him, “There remains yet very much land to possess.” In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we issue a clear charge to older men: Do not disengage. Do not coast. Do not check out. Our culture tells seasoned men to slow down, sit back, and let someone else carry the weight. But Scripture ...
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, I sit down with J. Josh Smith, author of The Man for the Day, for a powerful conversation about biblical masculinity, intentional discipleship, and becoming the man God is calling you to be right now. We talk about what it means to be the man for the day in your home, your church, and your community. Not yesterday’s man. Not tomorrow’s man. But the faithful, present, obedient man God requires today. In this conversation, we cover: ...
Send us Fan Mail Some men are doing the best they can. They are showing up, putting in the work, providing well and using their life to benefit others. Getting worn down is inevitable. We should expect life to knock us down a few times, the question is, "Will we continue to get back up and answer the bell one round at a time?"

Send us Fan Mail Adversity is inevitable, resiliance is not. Everyday as men we get new oppurtunities to develop grit, fortitude and resolve. On today''s PoM podcast we take a look at the 31 victories that Moses and Joshua led their people through. 31 times they had to leave home and set out for a new challenge with no guarantees of returning. Men if you are feeling worn down by the battles in this life make sure to watch today's episode and leave a comment about how this minist...
Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness podcast, we unpack what it means to lead your life one decision at a time. Joshua didn’t conquer the land through reputation; he did it through faithfulness. He showed up and he obeyed. He trusted God’s promises even when the opposition was intimidating. As men, we often want the big breakthrough and the instant transformation. But Joshua 11 reminds us that lasting victory is built on small, faithful choices stacke...
Send us Fan Mail Joshua 10 reminds us that obedience doesn’t end when the agreement is made—it’s proven when pressure comes. After Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites in Joshua 9, Joshua is immediately pulled into a fight he didn’t initiate but is still responsible to finish. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means for men to follow through when commitment becomes costly. Joshua doesn’t hesitate, delay, or look for a way out. He shows up, fights hard, and trust...
Send us Fan Mail In Joshua 9, Israel wins battles on the battlefield but stumbles in the conference room. The Gibeonites don’t defeat Israel with swords or strength, but with worn clothes, stale bread, and a convincing story. And the most dangerous line in the chapter may be this: “They did not ask counsel from the Lord.” In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we wrestle with why deception so often works on us as men. Why do we trust appearances, rush decisions, and rely on our own judg...
Send us Fan Mail Joshua 8 shows us that failure does not have to be the end of the story but it does demand obedience and follow-through. After the defeat at Ai in chapter 7, the Lord restores Israel, gives clear instruction, and calls Joshua and the people to move forward with courage and precision. This time, they listen. This time, they do exactly what God says. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means to become men who don’t just start strong but finish faith...
Send us Fan Mail In Joshua 7, victory gives way to defeat and the reason is uncomfortable. Sin is hidden, accountability is avoided, and God’s people pay the price. On today's episode we discuss how we need a wake-up call for men who want strength without holiness and progress without obedience. We’ll unpack Achan’s compromise, Israel’s failure to seek the Lord, and the sobering truth that private sin always has public consequences. But this chapter isn’t just a warning it’s an invitati...

I've found Jarrett's podcast, The Pursuit of Manliness, to be an invaluable resource. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ He brings on a wide range of guests, from pastors and theologians to authors and experts on a variety of topics related to manhood, including leadership, relationships, family, and spiritual growth. Jarrett is also a great interviewer, and he does a great job of drawing out the best from his guests. Overall, I highly recommend The Pursuit of Manliness podcast to any Christian man who is looking for a resource to help him grow in his faith and become the best man he can be. I give it 5 stars!
What an incredible reminder to honor your spouse.
this is ON POINT!
Fantastic episode!
This is a good podcast for challenging men to be better Christians in ways that they are usually not challenged to be: more faithful Christians, stronger and wiser leaders of their families, and more ready and willing to help other Christian men do the same.
