Episode #045 - Joe Courtney: Dead Man Revival, Brotherhood & Burying the Ego

“Revival doesn’t start in the church—it starts in the mirror.”

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Courtney—pastor, speaker, and author of Dead Man Revival—to talk about what it really means to die to yourself so you can finally live with purpose.

We dive into everything from fake strength and spiritual burnout to legacy, loneliness, and why real brotherhood is harder (and more necessary) than ever. It’s honest, raw, hilarious in spots—and it just might be what you’ve been needing.

If you’re in your 20s, married, lost, tired, or just trying to follow Jesus in real life—this one’s for you.
