Less Makes You Stronger

With the midterms behind us, Stephen Mansfield joins JT and Anthony to talk about where a man’s attention belongs: to the things he can control. Together, we discuss what it looks like to be the man you’re called to be, right where you’re called to be it, and outline three critical ways to engage politics well:Know the issuesFind the virtue in the other sideBe ready to give a reasonable defense of what you believeRemember men, “The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God,” (James 1:20), so check your outrage at the door and get practical in the ways in which you live out your politics.Want more historical, political, and faith-driven insights from Stephen?

Having the right tool for the job matters, but becoming the right man to use it matters even more. Today, JT outlines five everyday "tools" that a GreatMan should carry and know how to use. From discernment to courage, compassion to wisdom, we can find every tool modeled for us in the person of Christ.So men, fill your toolboxes with as many tools as the job may require. Because if all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail.

Sometimes, we just want to hold the world accountable for every wrong done to us—every offense spoken, performed, or otherwise. The hard truth is that many men don't realize how badly this affects their character.In this solo episode with Anthony, he coaches through why we must name our offenses and make a concerted effort to lay them down, lest they take control over our lives. So the question remains: are you dealing with what’s happened, or are you allowing what’s happened to deal with you?CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In an age where every man has a library in his pocket and a platform at his fingertips, it’s easy to mistake access to information for wisdom, opinions for understanding, and criticism for standing for truth. In this episode, JT confronts our culture of criticism and makes the case that influence without character is dangerous.But the greatest danger of knowing a little is believing we know enough to judge everything. This generation requires men of humility, character, and wisdom if we are to challenge the arrogance of "knowing just enough."CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every man needs and wants (whether he admits it or not) a life built on something unmovable.Something that gives rigidity to his way of life; fallback to his decision-making.A man without principles will renegotiate his life under pressure, and that is exactly the kind of men who the news is riddled with in our time.So men, do you require an audience to hold to your principles? Or are you forming them deep inside you in small, seemingly insignificant ways so that you are prepared when temptation knocks?CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A man who knows who he is doesn’t have to keep adding things onto his life to prove himself. Are you burdening yourself with unneeded weight?In this episode, JT draws connections between hollowed out cinderblock and Godly men who know how to use their time and energy effectively.Being a GreatMan will always require something from you, so don't confuse responsibility with unnecessary weight.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/ Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When a man neglects himself long enough, he will stop being useful to others. Thus, a man must find small ways in his daily routines to re-center himself. This week, JT and Anthony challenge you to be appropriately inward-focused, exploring the threshold between "I need this for me" and "I can do without."In all you do, may you do it for the sake of others.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this life, you’re either entering into a storm, are currently in a storm, or are coming out of a storm. The question is: are you building your life accordingly to withstand the storms? In this episode, JT challenges you to consider what you've built your life upon and outlines the process of repair when damage happens.Everybody wants to build a life on something unmovable. What are you building upon?CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Many men go about their daily lives without realizing the weight of their past upon their every move.Inversely, some men were blessed with life-changing positive experiences that set them on a trajectory of success.In both circumstances, the past has power.Our past can be a valuable teacher, but it does not have to become our master. Today, JT and Anthony inspect the foundations laid by our previous experiences and invite men to challenge the role that shame might be playing in your everyday.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/ Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most men are surrounded by people who know their name but not their soul — and the difference between being known by many and being known deeply is everything. Stop waiting to be invited into real relationship and instead pursue the rare kind of friendship where performance isn't required, truth is welcomed, and someone cares more about your character than your comfort. Iron sharpens iron — but you have to find the iron.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
