No Permission Needed: Why Men Should Step Up Now

Welcome to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White, dig into the DNA of a Stand Up Dude and break down what it REALLY means to be a courageous, confident man in today’s world, without the hype, shame, or empty promises of modern self-help.
Are you feeling the pressure to measure up but tired of never really knowing what “being a man” is supposed to look like? Have you felt stuck, searching for purpose, or waiting for someone to give you permission to step up? If you know deep down you were made for more—but aren’t sure where to start—this episode is for you!

Tim and Stewart revisit the foundational question: What is a Stand Up Dude? Get ready for an honest, eye-opening conversation that will reset your view of masculinity, challenge culture’s lies, and point you to the only Source strong enough to carry you—Jesus Himself.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

• The core DNA of a Stand Up Dude—why you don’t need anyone’s permission to become the man God created you to be
• How real transformation starts—not by changing the world first, but by letting God change YOU from the inside out
• Why most guys settle for less, stay stuck, or get offended by the call to true manhood…and how to break free
• The danger of isolation and how authentic brotherhood sharpens & strengthens you (iron sharpens iron!)
• Shattering the culture’s “emasculating lies” about manhood and reclaiming your God-given strength
• How to deal with fear, face your wounds, and step into your calling with confidence—knowing God NEVER lets you down
• The difference between calling men ‘out’ versus calling them ‘forward’—and why grace beats shame every time
• Why Jesus is the ultimate standard for manhood: conviction, strength, humility, compassion, and sacrificial love
• Practical steps to begin (or deepen) your relationship with Jesus, and become a man who leads, protects, and loves selflessly

If you’re ready to stop waiting for permission… and start living with purpose, courage, and faith, this episode brings you the clarity, encouragement, and tools you need.
