Breaking the Superman Myth: Discovering Power Through Trusting God
Episode Description:
In this episode of Renegadez: Men of Faith & Fortitude, Preacher Joe is tearing down the lies of modern masculinity. We’ve all been sold the idea that real men have to be Superman—never showing weakness, never asking for help, always in control. But that’s a load of crap. Real strength comes from knowing when to let go, drop the pride, and trust God.
Preacher Joe breaks it down, sharing raw personal stories and digging into biblical truths to show that surrender isn’t weakness—it’s power. From battling the pressures of life to learning what it means to truly trust in God, this episode hits home for men looking for real strength in a world that demands perfection.
Key Takeaways:
• The “Superman” myth is a lie—no man can carry everything on his own.
• Real strength is being honest with yourself, dropping the fake toughness, and trusting God.
• Surrender isn’t about giving up; it’s about finding freedom and power in letting go of control.
• God’s strength shows up when we admit our own weakness—2 Corinthians 12:9 is your weapon.
• Pride will keep you stuck. You have to let it go to grow.
