Most Catholic men talk about trusting God, but very few surrender the one area that reveals the truth: their generosity. In this episode, Jacob Cokely joins me to confront a battlefield most men avoid. His new book, Kingdom Generosity: Discovering the Secret to the Abundant Life, calls men out of comfort, out of passive belief, and into the dangerous, countercultural obedience that Jesus demands.
Jacob shares how God confronted him twelve years ago and told him to give away everything he had. He only had five hundred dollars to his name. He gave it away. Nothing happened at first. No rewards. No blessings. No instant turnaround. But that step launched a life of radical trust, radical risk, and radical freedom.
Jacob shows how generosity is far bigger than finances. It is your time, your gifts, your talents, your attention, and your willingness to act when God prompts you. He reminds us that Jesus Himself is the model of generosity as the one who became poor so we could become rich in grace.
At the end of the episode, I issue a direct challenge to every man listening: Take one uncomfortable step of generosity this week. Not talk. Not theory. Action. This is spiritual warfare, and the enemy uses fear, scarcity, and self-preservation to keep men small. Break that chain.
For men serious about reclaiming their leadership, rebuilding trust in God, and stepping into authentic Catholic manhood, this conversation is essential.

Three Powerful Quotes From the Transcript
- “God has something for you. He doesn’t need anything from you.”
- “Men are soldiers. We are called to do difficult things and lead — especially in generosity.”
- “This is the one area where God says, ‘Test Me.’ He puts His name on the line.”
One Immediate Takeaway for Catholic Men
Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Give God one concrete act of generosity this week — time, money, or talent — that costs you something. Obedience begins with a single step.
