Something vital is missing in today's cultural landscape - authentic Biblical manhood. After a seven-month break, I've returned to the microphone driven by a conviction that the world doesn't need less masculinity, but rather more of the right kind.
This episode marks the beginning of a powerful new series called "The Uncommon Man," where I'll be showcasing extraordinary men who have shaped my journey. These aren't just successful individuals; they're men whose lives exemplify what it means to lead with integrity, courage, and tenderness. They're fathers, husbands, mentors, and friends who understand that true strength lies in sacrifice and service.
During my absence, my wife Becca and I faced some of the most challenging parenting decisions of our lives. Through this difficult season, I've become even more convinced of the critical importance of strong, biblically-grounded men in our families and communities. The confusion and distortion surrounding masculinity has created a vacuum that's being filled with passivity and uncertainty. Biblical manhood isn't toxic - it's life-giving, protective, and essential for healthy families and societies.
Whether you're a husband seeking to lead your family with greater purpose, a young man looking for examples of integrity, a wife hoping to encourage the man in your life, or a young woman setting standards for future relationships - this series has something profound to offer you. Join me for episode 100 featuring my longtime mentor Dr. Jared Roth, as we explore what it truly means to be an uncommon man in a world desperately needing examples of godly masculinity.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Hey friends, welcome to the Uncommon Freedom Show,
where we champion the values offaith, family, abundance and
freedom.
I'm your host, kevin Tinter, bymyself, and today, after a
seven-month break, we're kickingoff a brand new series called
the Uncommon man.
If you've ever wondered whatbiblical manhood really looks
(00:27):
like in the real world America2025 and beyond, you're in the
right place, so let's dive in.
All right, so it has been overseven months since Beck and I
recorded our last episode, and Iam thrilled to be back.
I would love to be doing thiswith my wife, becca, again, but
(00:48):
we're still in the season wherewe just do not have the capacity
to be recording episodes on ourown.
So I figured you know what.
Let's simplify the video ismuch more attractive with my
lovely wife in the podcast andsince she's not here, there's no
need to do video.
So we're going to be audio forthe foreseeable future, and we
(01:12):
were in a season where we had atremendous amount of life going
on, specifically as parents.
Over the last seven months, wehave had to make some of the
most challenging decisions,heart-wrenching decisions that
we've ever had to make, some ofthe most challenging decisions,
heart-wrenching decisions thatwe've ever had to make as
parents and fortunately, thingsare going fairly well for us and
(01:33):
for our kids.
But we just had to pour a lotof emotion into our role as
parents and we also had toreserve what little extra we had
to be able to make the rightdecisions and to just take care
of our health during a verystressful season.
(01:54):
So some of you know a littlebit more about what's going on.
Some of you don't.
I know that many of you arepraying for us, and so I would
ask that you continue to prayfor us, for our kids, for wisdom
, and what we have learnedthrough this process is that
many of you have shared yourstories of prodigal children
that have come back to the Lordand they are now doing amazing
(02:18):
things, things that you thoughtwere impossible during the
wandering season of your child'slife, and so that has been very
encouraging for Becca and I,and we are clinging to that hope
, clinging to your prayers andclinging to the promises of our
God that he will finish the goodwork that was begun in our
(02:40):
children.
So that's where we're at, andone of my goals for 2025 was
just.
God has put this concept of theuncommon man.
Beck, and I love the concept ofbeing uncommon, something that
stands out, that is refreshing,that's good, that's different
from normal.
As Dave Ramsey says, debt isnormal be weird.
(03:01):
We like the concept of uncommonover weird, but the principle
is essentially the same.
Most people aren't reallypursuing what is best and we
want to be uncommon.
And especially when you look atall the turmoil in our society
really all the turmoil in theworld I think a lot of it can be
traced back to the lack ofmanhood, of biblical manhood,
(03:25):
which to me truly is synonymous,and I just felt, like God's
saying I want you to take thisconcept of uncommon man and get
it out into the world.
So that's what I'm going to dois for the next season.
We're going to be doing aseries of episodes called the
Uncommon man and we're going tobe talking about what healthy
(03:49):
manhood looks like.
I've been blessed to rub elbowswith some incredible people and
I want to let them share theirinsights with all of us so that
we can become better people.
Now, before you tune me out asa female, as a wife, a mother,
maybe a single 20 something, andyou're like, oh okay, I'm
(04:10):
tuning out for the next session,I really want to encourage you
that biblical manhood in yourlife will benefit you in many
ways.
If you're a wife, youunderstand that having a husband
that practices biblical manhoodis a benefit for you as a wife,
as a father of your children.
If you are a woman whose husbandis struggling and maybe he
(04:31):
doesn't have healthy community,I really want to encourage you
to listen to this series andmaybe even encourage him to
listen.
You can share this with him.
And if you're younger, maybeyou're a teenager or
20-something college student orin that age range and you're a
man.
And if you're younger, maybeyou're a teenager or 20
something college student or inthat age range and you're a man,
well, you're going to learn alot of things that I wish I knew
when I was that young.
(04:52):
And if you're a teenage or 20something young female and
you're thinking, okay, this isthe least applicable to me, I
really want to encourage youthat if you listen to this
series, you're going to findthings that you're going to me.
I really want to encourage youthat if you listen to this
series, you're going to findthings that you're going to say
okay, this is what I want in myfuture husband.
(05:13):
Okay, there's a huge trend ofpeople waiting until they're
later to get married and youknow if that's what God has for
you, that's one thing, but Ireally think for the majority of
Americans, the longer you wait,the worse off you're going to
be.
There's tremendous benefit togetting married young.
(05:35):
Now I caveat that with it'simportant to find the right
person.
Don't marry the person youthink you can live with.
Marry the person you know youcan't live without and make sure
you check out the in-lawsituation, because that has a
huge impact on what your qualityof life will be like.
Don't, if you're or if you findan amazing woman that you feel
(05:55):
like you can't live without andshe's got a crazy mom or crazy
dad, you might want to thinktwice.
But um, but anyways, for thoseyoung ladies really want to
encourage you that listening toa bunch of uncommon men talk
will really help you craft whatyou want to find in your future
husband.
(06:15):
Also just want to say thank youto those of you who have been
continuing to listen, continuingto download.
There's a huge risk you take.
We stopped at episode 98, and Iwas doing a little bit of
research.
It's about 5% to 10% ofBasically.
If you make it to episode 100,which our next episode will be
(06:38):
100, you're in the top 5% to 10%of podcasts from a longevity
standpoint.
The vast majority don't make itpast episode three and so when
we took a break at 98, honestly,a lot of my pride, my ego
wanted to push through and justget two more out so we could get
to 100.
But that wasn't the rightdecision.
(06:58):
But we're getting there.
We knew we didn't want to quit,but I do appreciate those of
you who have been continuing tolisten.
Every week I get an email withan update and, honestly, shocked
that every single week there'speople downloading our previous
episodes.
So I'm excited to be able togive you something new and fresh
and feel free to send uscomments.
You know Becca is still a partof this.
(07:20):
We're going to be discussing it, even if she's not on the
episodes on a regular basis, butwe do look forward to getting
back in the saddle to recordtogether again with some fresh
new material.
So let us know what types ofthings you would like to hear
from the both of us.
So let's talk about why am Idoing this series.
Why do it right now?
So the reality is, I believe wehave a crisis of masculinity in
(07:44):
our culture.
There's massive confusion,there's massive distortion about
what masculinity looks like andwe also have an epidemic of
passivity when it comes to men.
A lot of men are sitting by,you know.
When it comes to parenting,they're not paying attention to
what their kids are watching,what they're listening to, what
(08:05):
they're doing, and passivity isabsolutely A mistake.
The world doesn't need lessmasculinity.
What it needs is more of theright kind, and that is biblical
manhood.
Masculinity isn't toxic.
What's toxic is sin.
(08:26):
Masculinity is God-given Seewhat the Bible says is God
created man and women in hisimage.
So the reality is masculinityis a characteristic of God and
femininity is a characteristicof God.
They're two distinct that makeup the full representation of
(08:47):
God.
I'm not a theologian, but thereality is masculinity is
something that God created and,like everything else, when
through Satan, the influence ofSatan, and through sin, we
distort what God created, whathe intended to be good, it
becomes a horrible thing, itbecomes a force of evil.
(09:09):
And that's where we're at,because of, honestly, a lot of
passivity, distortion andconfusion.
And that's where we're atbecause of, honestly, a lot of
passivity, distortion andconfusion.
Masculinity is associated with anegative concept, when it
should be something that in theminds of women, in the hearts of
women, actually creates a hugesense of peace, a sense of
relief.
Because when a woman has abiblically masculine man in her
(09:39):
life, she should know that she'sprotected, she's taken care of.
I'm not saying that she's notable to take care of herself.
My wife is incredibly capable,she's very independent.
But I also know that sheappreciates the fact that if
someone breaks into our houseafter she wakes me up, I'm going
to go take care of him.
All right, I'm a deep sleeper,she's super light, so she's
gonna have to wake me up.
But there's no way in the worldthat I'm gonna let my wife be
(10:02):
the one to have to go confrontthe bad guy, even though that's
what we see on tv all the time.
That's pathetic.
Okay, biblical manhood isservant-hearted, it's strong,
it's sacrificial, it'scourageous and at the same time
it's tender.
So my desire to address thistopic of the uncommon man really
(10:24):
comes out of a personalconviction and a personal
experience.
You see, I have been blessed byuncommon men in my life.
Now it's time to showcase them.
The first episode I'm superexcited.
I interview someone that I'vetalked about many times I've
referred to him many times Oneof the most influential people
(10:44):
in my life he was a pastor whoreally took me under his wing
and mentored me about 13, 14years ago has had a huge impact
on so much of how I live my lifetoday.
The concept of intentionalliving, of lifestyle design,
comes from my close friend andmentor, jared Roth, and I'm
really excited because he isgoing to be appropriately the
(11:07):
first guest on our centuryepisode, and I have so many
other incredible friends.
Some of them are, you know, bignames that you know and other
than others are people that youmight not know.
But just last night, beck and Iwere sitting at a dinner table
with some friends.
We only knew one, we only knewthe couple that invited us, and
(11:27):
we came home we said, boy, onceagain we feel like small fish in
a very big pond and it can be alittle uncomfortable at times,
but we're literally sittingaround the table with some
couples that were maybe 5, 10,20 years older than us and as
blessed and as successful asBecca and I have been.
Some of these people they'remaking tens of millions of
(11:50):
dollars and they're incrediblywealthy and they're rubbing
elbows with some of the topleaders of our country, top
leaders in industry, and what Ihave learned is that when you're
the smartest person in the room, you want to be very
intentional to get yourself intoa better room, and that's what
(12:12):
Beck and I did last night.
And that is the goal of theuncommon man is to help you rub
elbows with men that are goingto help bring you up right.
The saying is a rising tideraises all ships.
That's what this series isabout, and whether you're a man,
a woman, a boy or a girl, thisseries will help elevate you and
(12:34):
raise you to that next level.
Now let's talk aboutspecifically this Uncommon man
series.
So we're going to feature menwho have deeply influenced my
life.
I've say this over and over, andI think my awareness of this
(12:55):
grows every single day at adeeper level, that everything
good in my life is because ofthe people in my life, the
connections I've made.
You know the saying is yournetwork is your net worth, and I
don't mean that from a selfish.
What can I get from itsstandpoint?
And I don't mean that from aselfish, what can I get from it
standpoint?
(13:15):
But Becca and I, andspecifically myself, my life is
so incredibly rich, soincredibly rich because of the
incredible friends that I have,people that I know care for me,
that they have my back, theyhave my family's back, that if
something happened to me, theywould take care of my family.
If something happened to Beccaand I, I have a number of people
(13:37):
that I know would step in toyou know, in you know God forbid
this scenario happen but wouldstep in and take care of my
family the way that I would.
So I'm excited to for you guysto meet some of these incredible
people.
They're mentors, they'refriends, they're brothers in
Christ and maybe mostimportantly well, not most
(13:59):
importantly, but veryimportantly they're men of
action.
None of these men are sittingaround collecting a welfare
paycheck or a disabilitypaycheck Not that I realize
there's circumstances wheredisability is appropriate but
these are the types of guys thatare out there.
They want to maximize theirimpact, they want to reach their
potential and they arepassionate about making the
(14:22):
world a better place.
We're going to talk aboutfatherhood.
We're going to talk about faith.
We're going to talk aboutfailure.
We're going to talk aboutfreedom, legacy industry,
business sales, all kinds ofstuff.
We're also going to talk aboutcars, cigars, guns and guitars.
All right, those are four of myfavorite things from the
(14:46):
stereotypical manly side ofthings, and we're going to
include a little session inthere asking people what are
their favorite cars, cigars,guns and guitars.
I'm excited about that.
One Bottom line is these aremen who live uncommon lives, not
for the applause of the world,but for the glory of God, and I
(15:08):
want to inspire you and yours todo the same.
So, once again, who's this forhusbands?
This is going to encourage you,it's going to challenge you and
it's going to sharpen you.
Iron sharpens iron.
You Iron sharpens iron.
(15:31):
Every single man that I have onthis show is going to be iron
that will sharpen your blade.
Now, does that mean that Iagree with every single one of
them on every topic of life?
Absolutely not.
I mean, my wife is my bestfriend, my absolute closest
friend, and we agree on so manythings, but there's some things
that we don't agree on.
So I think it's always foolishwhen we write someone off
because we don't agree with themcompletely.
I don't think there's anyone inthe world that I would agree
(15:52):
with them on about absolutelyeverything, and so we need to
stop having the zero defectmentality, this cancel culture
mentality.
Chew the meat, spit out thebones.
Learn what you can from everyone of these guests, because I
guarantee you every one of themhas the ability to sharpen your
blade.
For young men, I want you tohear what it looks like to lead
(16:14):
with integrity and grit.
Grit is one of the mostimportant factors that will help
you be successful in life.
For wives, I want you to beinspired to encourage and pray
for the man in your life.
It's very likely that if he isnot living up to your
(16:35):
expectations and that is adangerous word if he is not
living up to the model of JesusChrist, what biblical manhood
looks like?
Jesus Christ, what biblicalmanhood looks like?
I'd be willing to bet that hedoes not have biblically-minded
men in his life.
His influences are notpracticing biblical manhood.
(16:56):
So this will inspire you that,yes, there are biblical men out
there.
There are men who are leadingtheir families and their
marriages and loving theirfamilies and loving their wives
with biblical manhood, and thismight give you some ideas on how
you can connect your husband tothose types of men, because
(17:18):
that is absolutely the biggestgame changer in my life and for
young women.
This is going to help you setyour sights on what real
leadership and love looks like,bottom line.
I'm really excited about thisseries because it's about legacy
, it's about generalgenerational transformation
through godly men, and there isno political leader on the left
(17:40):
or the right, red blue, doesn'tmatter there is no political
leader that is going to be ableto stop the direction that our
culture and society is headed ifwe do not have a drastic
resurgence in biblical manhoodin this country.
So I really want to encourageyou to subscribe, if you're not
(18:03):
already subscribed.
I want you to share thisepisode.
Please share it on social media, share it with your husband,
share it with your friends,share it with your kids and then
, if you could also leave us areview, that would be greatly
appreciated.
Also, social media, tag someonethat you think would benefit
from hearing this episode or anyfuture episode, and then ask I
(18:29):
want to ask you who is the mostuncommon man you know?
Would you let us know?
In my book, saying Someone isUncommon, it is a huge
compliment.
So I'd love to hear from youwho are some of the uncommon men
in your lives.
And then I want to remind youI'm super excited.
(18:50):
I've been wondering for a longtime looking forward to episode
100.
And I am celebrating thisepisode with, like I said, a
powerhouse guest, my longtimementor and friend, dr Jared Roth
, who is one of the wisestpeople I've ever met, and I'm
just so blessed to have hisinfluence in my life.
So thank you for joining me onthis first step back into the
(19:15):
podcast saddle.
I can't wait to bring youstories from men who've helped
shape me, who might justchallenge and inspire you too.
If this episode sparkedsomething in you, share it with
a friend and don't miss episode100.
It's going to be one for thehistory books, friends, and
until next time, pursue uncommonfreedom and lead well.
(19:39):
We'll see you next time.

They're two distinct that makeup the full representation of
(08:47):
God.
I'm not a theologian, but thereality is masculinity is
something that God created and,like everything else, when
through Satan, the influence ofSatan, and through sin, we
distort what God created, whathe intended to be good, it
becomes a horrible thing, itbecomes a force of evil.
(09:09):
And that's where we're at,because of, honestly, a lot of
passivity, distortion andconfusion.
And that's where we're atbecause of, honestly, a lot of
passivity, distortion andconfusion.
Masculinity is associated with anegative concept, when it
should be something that in theminds of women, in the hearts of
women, actually creates a hugesense of peace, a sense of
relief.
Because when a woman has abiblically masculine man in her
(09:39):
life, she should know that she'sprotected, she's taken care of.
I'm not saying that she's notable to take care of herself.
My wife is incredibly capable,she's very independent.
But I also know that sheappreciates the fact that if
someone breaks into our houseafter she wakes me up, I'm going
to go take care of him.
All right, I'm a deep sleeper,she's super light, so she's
gonna have to wake me up.
But there's no way in the worldthat I'm gonna let my wife be
(10:02):
the one to have to go confrontthe bad guy, even though that's
what we see on tv all the time.
That's pathetic.
Okay, biblical manhood isservant-hearted, it's strong,
it's sacrificial, it'scourageous and at the same time
it's tender.
So my desire to address thistopic of the uncommon man really
(10:24):
comes out of a personalconviction and a personal
experience.
You see, I have been blessed byuncommon men in my life.
Now it's time to showcase them.
The first episode I'm superexcited.
I interview someone that I'vetalked about many times I've
referred to him many times Oneof the most influential people
(10:44):
in my life he was a pastor whoreally took me under his wing
and mentored me about 13, 14years ago has had a huge impact
on so much of how I live my lifetoday.
The concept of intentionalliving, of lifestyle design,
comes from my close friend andmentor, jared Roth, and I'm
really excited because he isgoing to be appropriately the
(11:07):
first guest on our centuryepisode, and I have so many
other incredible friends.
Some of them are, you know, bignames that you know and other
than others are people that youmight not know.
But just last night, beck and Iwere sitting at a dinner table
with some friends.
We only knew one, we only knewthe couple that invited us, and
(11:27):
we came home we said, boy, onceagain we feel like small fish in
a very big pond and it can be alittle uncomfortable at times,
but we're literally sittingaround the table with some
couples that were maybe 5, 10,20 years older than us and as
blessed and as successful asBecca and I have been.
Some of these people they'remaking tens of millions of
(11:50):
dollars and they're incrediblywealthy and they're rubbing
elbows with some of the topleaders of our country, top
leaders in industry, and what Ihave learned is that when you're
the smartest person in the room, you want to be very
intentional to get yourself intoa better room, and that's what
(12:12):
Beck and I did last night.
And that is the goal of theuncommon man is to help you rub
elbows with men that are goingto help bring you up right.
The saying is a rising tideraises all ships.
That's what this series isabout, and whether you're a man,
a woman, a boy or a girl, thisseries will help elevate you and
(12:34):
raise you to that next level.
Now let's talk aboutspecifically this Uncommon man
series.
So we're going to feature menwho have deeply influenced my
life.
I've say this over and over, andI think my awareness of this
(12:55):
grows every single day at adeeper level, that everything
good in my life is because ofthe people in my life, the
connections I've made.
You know the saying is yournetwork is your net worth, and I
don't mean that from a selfish.
What can I get from itsstandpoint?
And I don't mean that from aselfish, what can I get from it
standpoint?
(13:15):
But Becca and I, andspecifically myself, my life is
so incredibly rich, soincredibly rich because of the
incredible friends that I have,people that I know care for me,
that they have my back, theyhave my family's back, that if
something happened to me, theywould take care of my family.
If something happened to Beccaand I, I have a number of people
(13:37):
that I know would step in toyou know, in you know God forbid
this scenario happen but wouldstep in and take care of my
family the way that I would.
So I'm excited to for you guysto meet some of these incredible
people.
They're mentors, they'refriends, they're brothers in
Christ and maybe mostimportantly well, not most
(13:59):
importantly, but veryimportantly they're men of
action.
None of these men are sittingaround collecting a welfare
paycheck or a disabilitypaycheck Not that I realize
there's circumstances wheredisability is appropriate but
these are the types of guys thatare out there.
They want to maximize theirimpact, they want to reach their
potential and they arepassionate about making the
(14:22):
world a better place.
We're going to talk aboutfatherhood.
We're going to talk about faith.
We're going to talk aboutfailure.
We're going to talk aboutfreedom, legacy industry,
business sales, all kinds ofstuff.
We're also going to talk aboutcars, cigars, guns and guitars.
All right, those are four of myfavorite things from the
(14:46):
stereotypical manly side ofthings, and we're going to
include a little session inthere asking people what are
their favorite cars, cigars,guns and guitars.
I'm excited about that.
One Bottom line is these aremen who live uncommon lives, not
for the applause of the world,but for the glory of God, and I
(15:08):
want to inspire you and yours todo the same.
So, once again, who's this forhusbands?
This is going to encourage you,it's going to challenge you and
it's going to sharpen you.
Iron sharpens iron.
You Iron sharpens iron.
(15:31):
Every single man that I have onthis show is going to be iron
that will sharpen your blade.
Now, does that mean that Iagree with every single one of
them on every topic of life?
Absolutely not.
I mean, my wife is my bestfriend, my absolute closest
friend, and we agree on so manythings, but there's some things
that we don't agree on.
So I think it's always foolishwhen we write someone off
because we don't agree with themcompletely.
I don't think there's anyone inthe world that I would agree
(15:52):
with them on about absolutelyeverything, and so we need to
stop having the zero defectmentality, this cancel culture
mentality.
Chew the meat, spit out thebones.
Learn what you can from everyone of these guests, because I
guarantee you every one of themhas the ability to sharpen your
blade.
For young men, I want you tohear what it looks like to lead
(16:14):
with integrity and grit.
Grit is one of the mostimportant factors that will help
you be successful in life.
For wives, I want you to beinspired to encourage and pray
for the man in your life.
It's very likely that if he isnot living up to your
(16:35):
expectations and that is adangerous word if he is not
living up to the model of JesusChrist, what biblical manhood
looks like?
Jesus Christ, what biblicalmanhood looks like?
I'd be willing to bet that hedoes not have biblically-minded
men in his life.
His influences are notpracticing biblical manhood.
(16:56):
So this will inspire you that,yes, there are biblical men out
there.
There are men who are leadingtheir families and their
marriages and loving theirfamilies and loving their wives
with biblical manhood, and thismight give you some ideas on how
you can connect your husband tothose types of men, because
(17:18):
that is absolutely the biggestgame changer in my life and for
young women.
This is going to help you setyour sights on what real
leadership and love looks like,bottom line.
I'm really excited about thisseries because it's about legacy
, it's about generalgenerational transformation
through godly men, and there isno political leader on the left
(17:40):
or the right, red blue, doesn'tmatter there is no political
leader that is going to be ableto stop the direction that our
culture and society is headed ifwe do not have a drastic
resurgence in biblical manhoodin this country.

compliment.
So I'd love to hear from youwho are some of the uncommon men
in your lives.
And then I want to remind youI'm super excited.
