Many men are angry.

Angry about politics.
Angry about feminism.
Angry about the corruption in the church.
Angry about the state of the nation.

But anger without direction becomes distraction.

In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Army Chaplain BJ Newman to talk about focus, priorities, and building where you actually have influence.

This is a re-release of a previous episode. The video may show Joseph about forty pounds heavier, but the truth here has only grown sharper with time.

Men are losing because they are fighting the wrong battles.

Instead of endless online debates and outrage cycles, we must return to first principles:

Family first.
Local focus.
Build institutions, not platforms.
Fight the battles in front of you.

If you want to stop drifting and start building, this conversation will help you re-center your mission.
