This week we sit down with Michael Warden - author, coach, free spirit, and founder of the men’s recovery ministry Braveheart Men. Richard first met Michael four years ago during a Braveheart Men’s Intensive, and since then Michael has continued to impact the lives of hundreds of men through his work.
Michael joins us to share about the release of the final two books in his four-part mystic Christian fantasy series, The Pearlsong Refounding. With the first two volumes already out, the concluding books officially launch on December 2nd. It’s a powerful, imaginative story that we can’t wait for you to discover.
Beyond writing, Michael lives as a “sojourner,” traveling the country in his van - affectionately named Van-Gogh - and sharing his journey through poetry, creative reflections, and updates on his Substack.
In this conversation, we talk about:
- What it means to live freely and courageously as a “sojourner.”
- The heart behind Braveheart Men and what recovery ministry looks like.
- Michael’s creative passion in writing The Pearlsong Refounding.
We’ll include links to Braveheart Men, Michael’s Substack, and his book series in the show notes below so you can connect further with his story and work!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
