In this episode, your hosts John Sablan and Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers delve into the virtues of courage and sacrifice. They build upon the themes of purity and humility from the previous episode, emphasizing the need for men to understand their dependency on God and purify their hearts, minds, and intentions. This episode centers around the idea that real courage is rooted in knowing and doing God's will. It goes beyond mere fearlessness and involves trusting in God's grace and following His guidance. Courage is not limited to facing grand challenges but also encompasses the daily self-mortifications and small sacrifices that build virtue. By drawing inspiration from biblical figures like David and Joseph, men can find the strength to stand up for what is right, lead their families, and serve their communities faithfully.

Key Takeaways:

• True courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of fear with a conscious choice not to be mastered by it. Trusting in God's grace enables men to overcome fear and follow His will.
• Courage involves sacrificing for the well-being of others and being willing to do God's work, even if it challenges one's comfort and security.
• Examining the courageous acts of biblical figures like David and Joseph provides inspiration and guidance for men seeking to lead virtuous lives.
• The hosts stress the significance of daily small sacrifices and self-mortification as building blocks of courage and virtue.
• By understanding their dependency on God and seeking humility, men can better embrace courage and sacrificial love in their roles as husbands, fathers, and community members.

John Sablan and Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers provide an in-depth and insightful look at the current state of manhood, offering a unique blend of personal experiences, expert interviews, and spiritual wisdom. With a genuine passion for guiding men toward their true potential, this podcast intends to assist men and ultimately families and communities in their call to live it out faithfully and courageously as they work to restore, rebuild, and revitalize the culture.
