As Anthony and Jay unpack Stephen’s charge to “kill the creep” in our lives, they examine where addiction stems from, how we are set up by society to become addicted, and what habits might be lying right under our noses that are creeping into our souls.

Life is full of pleasures that are designed to be enjoyed. But for men especially, it can be easy for these pleasures to creep into addictions. From alcohol to sex, eating to working, our enjoyment can fall victim to the law of diminishing returns and leave us constantly wanting more. Let’s combat overindulgence so we can be present to those who need us most.

Do you have set principles that you live by? How aware are you of the emotions you feel? How do these two concepts live together in harmony in our lives? Join Anthony and Jay as they encourage us to acknowledge our emotions while keeping them under the fortress of our principles.

Emotions are an essential part of any man’s life. They help us bring passion and investment to all that we do. Yet, when we allow those emotions to overwhelm our principles, we can end up in big trouble. Listen in as Stephen illustrates the careful art of carrying our emotions.

For many men, the self-perception of imposter has become the default. We easily cling to negative traits we’ve identified or critical feedback that we’ve received. Today, Anthony and Jay challenge us to identify our strengths amidst our struggles, and to enjoy the good while we get to work on the bad.

What lies are you believing? What echoes from your past drag you down into complacency, even depression? The feeling of imposter syndrome is ever-present in our lives as men, and we must recognize it for what it is: a lie.

Today, Anthony brings in his good friend Jay to co-host this episode on the all-encompassing topic of vision. What does it look like to actually cast vision, let alone maintain the walk toward it? From weight loss to the marriage bed, listen in as two men discuss vision in all areas of life.

Success doesn’t come without vision. What are you aiming at? What are you striving toward? Today, Stephen issues a challenge to cast vision, whether it be physical, relational, financial, or otherwise, and pursue it.
