This question gets deep quickly as we explore the psychology and spirituality of growth and acceptance. What motivates us to grow if we are already fully loved? Is that even the "right" way to think about it? We also touch on burnout, transition, and experiencing the freshness of the Spirit. Listen in as we explore this question. Respond to us with your thoughts and ideas about the necessity or lack thereof of church in our times.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
