Your Kids Are Watching You Not Do What You Tell Them to Do

You tell your son to be disciplined. He watches you skip the gym. You tell your kids not to lie. They watch you make excuses. You tell your family to eat clean. You're feeding them Jolly Ranchers and Cheez-Its at church.Your audio and your video don't match. And every person in your home knows it.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free are done being polite about it. The dad getting out of the minivan, lighting a cigarette while his kids pile out. The father yelling at his son at baseball practice about discipline while he can barely breathe sitting in his chair. The overweight pastor handing out junk food and calling it a leadership tool. Jesse and Adam have seen enough and they're naming it.They get into why your kids will follow what you do and ignore everything you say, why being physically out of shape is a theological problem, not just a health one, why the church has a fork and knife problem nobody will say out loud, Matthew 7:5 and why you don't get to tell your son to be disciplined until you are, why your business isn't working, your marriage is struggling, and your kids don't respect you and why the answer to all three is the same man, and why Jesse and Adam are not going to apologize for saying any of it.If your feelings are hurt by this episode, that's your sign. Go stand in front of a mirror long enough to be disgusted by what you see, then call us. Your life starts at that moment.New episode every Tuesday. Send this to a man whose audio and video don't match.

Pornography Is Not a Small Sin, It's an Open Door You Don't Know You Left Unlocked

You post about Epstein on Instagram. Then you open Pornhub on the same phone. Jesse and Adam are done pretending that's not happening.This is Pillar Four of the Five Pillars of Biblical Manhood and there is no soft way to say it: pornography has to stop. Not because it's embarrassing. Because it is spiritually, neurologically, and maritally destroying you and you have invited something into your home that your wife and your daughters will pay the price for.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Tyler Free get into the neuroscience of what pornography does to the male brain and why the dopamine crash after is your body telling you the truth, why the sex in your marriage feels dead and what pornography has to do with it, why men who rage about human trafficking and watch pornography on the same phone are not the righteous men they think they are, Adam's account of the moment he felt demonic presence in his home and what he knows now that he didn't know then, why November 2022 was the last time Adam watched pornography and what changed, Jesse's 75-day challenge for any man ready to find out what he's actually made of, and why the day you quit is a date worth writing down.Your daughter is growing up in the home you are building right now. Build accordingly.New episode every Tuesday. Send this to a man who thinks it's not that big of a deal.

She Already Knows You're Lying, She Just Stopped Caring Enough to Say It

You bought the gun anyway. You bought the shoes anyway. You told yourself she didn't notice. She noticed. She just stopped telling you.In this episode, Jesse Carstairs and Adam Free get into the lie most men are living, not the big dramatic betrayals, but the small daily promises broken so often that your wife has quietly decided it doesn't matter what you say anymore. And that silence isn't forgiveness. It's surrender.They cover why a woman's silence on your broken word is the worst place you can be in a marriage, why lying about small purchases is the same as lying about big decisions and she knows it, why medieval knights considered breaking their word an act of treason and what that means for the man you're supposed to be, why deflecting and omitting are feminine communication patterns and what masculine honesty actually looks like, and how Adam went from hiding shoe purchases from his wife to walking into her office like a kid asking permission and why that's not weakness, that's winning.You want her respect. She wants your honesty. It turns out those are the same thing.New episode every Tuesday. Send this to a man who thinks he's been getting away with it.
