Send a text 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: Why m...
Send a text 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 a text 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 ministry ca...
Send a text 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 stacked on ...
Send a text 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 trusts the...
Send a text 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 judgment—...
Send a text 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 faithfully...
Send a text 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 invitation. A...
Send a text God’s ways are rarely what we would expect, and Joshua 6 makes that unmistakably clear. As Israel stands before the walls of Jericho, the Lord doesn’t hand them a battle plan built on strength, strategy, or military dominance. Instead, He calls them to obedience, patience, and trust in a plan that makes no sense by human standards. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness Podcast, we explore the unorthodox way of the Lord and what it reveals about biblical manhood. What does it...
Send a text In Joshua 5, the people of Israel finally step into the land God promised, but before the battles begin, God calls them to stop, remember, and draw near. Circumcision is renewed, the Passover is celebrated, manna ceases, and Joshua comes face to face with the Commander of the Lord’s army. Victory doesn’t start with strategy or strength—it starts with holiness, obedience, and reverence. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness Podcast, we wrestle with a hard truth: many men live...
Send a text In Joshua 4, God commands His people to stop, look back, and remember. Twelve stones are taken from the Jordan River, not as decoration, but as a declaration. A visible reminder of God’s faithfulness meant to be passed down from one generation to the next. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we explore The Value of Remembering and why remembering is not weakness or nostalgia, but strength. Biblical masculinity is rooted in men who don’t forget what God has done, who mark ...
Send a text What does it look like for a man to step forward when the path ahead feels uncertain? In Joshua 3, Israel stands at the edge of the Jordan River—promised land in sight, but no bridge to get there. God calls the priests to step into the water first, trusting Him before the way is made clear. It’s a powerful picture of biblical manhood: faith that moves, obedience that costs, and leadership that goes first. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we walk through Joshua 3 and ...
Send a text What does it mean to be the filter for those around you? As we wrap up Joshua 2 today we take a look at what the spies said when they brought back the news to Joshua about their time in Jericho. It does not appear that they worked in worry or concern, rather they filtered everything to make sure Joshua knew the Lord was directing this mission. In today's episode, we take a look at being a filter not only from the circumstances around us, news, social media etc. But we ...
Send a text What does biblical courage look like when obedience carries real risk? In Joshua 2:1–7, we’re introduced to Rahab, an unlikely figure whose fear of the Lord led her to decisive action. As Israel stands on the edge of the Promised Land, God uses a woman with a complicated past to protect the spies and advance His redemptive plan. In today's episode, we explore what this passage teaches men about courage, faith, and obedience when no one is watching. We’ll talk about taking responsi...
Send a text Why does God often tell people to prepare themselves? I believe because there is something spiritually, mentally, and physically that happens in a man or those around them when they are being prepared. On today's PoM podcast we talk about the benefits of living a more prepared life as we continue to walk through Joshua Chapter 1.

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.
