The Lion Within Us - Leadership for Christian Men

The Lion Within Us - Leadership for Christian Men

Christian men are in a battle for their lives. Satan will do everything possible to destroy them. The Lion Within Us is a community that provides encouragement to become the leaders God intends us to be. Our main focus lies within three categories: Health (Mental/Physical), Wealth (Careers/Finances) and Self (Husbands/Fathers/Brothers in Christ). By sharpening these areas of our lives, we can find the strength needed to stand firm in our faith and unleash the Lion Within.

It begins subtly—a glance becomes a lingering look, a momentary thought grows unchecked, and before ...

Ever felt like you're stuck in life's waiting room while single? This episode flips that narrative completely on its head. We explore the Apostle Paul's counter-cultural message that being single isn't a burden—it's a strategic advantage.

God handpicked you to lead your family. This wasn't by accident or coincidence—it was by divine design. Yet many Christian fathers struggle with feeling inadequate, believing the enemy's lie that someone else could do a better job. The truth?

The battle for life demands more than passive agreement—it requires Christian men to actively champion abundance for the vulnerable. Roland Warren's powerful personal story of facing abortion pressure in college serves as a stark reminder of how quickly our culture defaults to destruction rather than support. As he shares in his book "The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro-Abundant Life," there are no surpri...

When Roland Warren and his girlfriend discovered they were pregnant during their college years at Princeton, they faced an immediate suggestion from the campus nurse: "Of course you're going to have an abortion."

What does it mean to be truly pro-life? In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the crucial distinction between being merely "pro-life" and embracing a "pro-abundant life" stance that actively engages with those who are vulnerable in our communities.

What if the secret to a thriving marriage isn't about finding the right person, but embracing the right perspective? At the heart of God's design lies a critical distinction that transforms relationships: marriage as a covenant, not a contract.
