THE GRIZ PODCAST

In this episode, I share some deeply personal and difficult experiences with death, grief, and loss—and what they’ve taught me about the fragility of life and the importance of considering what happens after we take our final breath. What happens when we die? Is there really a heaven and hell? Can we know for certain where we’ll spend eternity? And how can Christians face the reality of death with hope rather than fear? Drawing from Scripture and my own life experiences, I explore these important questions, the difference between religion and genuine saving faith, and the incredible promises God has made to those who belong to Jesus Christ. Death doesn’t have to be something we live in fear of. For the genuine believer in Jesus Christ, death isn’t the end. It’s the ultimate homecoming. Let me ask you the most important question you’ll ever face: Are you sure you’re saved? If you’re unsure whether you have genuinely placed your heart faith in Jesus Christ, I encourage you to take a few minutes and watch this short video by Pastor John MacArthur. It’s worth your time. It explains a lot.

Self-pity will never heal your wounds. It’ll only keep them bleeding. We live in a culture where victimhood has become a badge of honor. But there’s a big difference between being a victim of painful circumstances and allowing those circumstances to define who you are and determine your future. In this episode, Jason gets raw and real about his own battles with suffering, grief, and self-pity. Drawing from the lives of Joseph and the Apostle Paul, he challenges men to stop allowing their past to dictate their future and discover how God can turn even their deepest wounds into something good. Are you becoming bitter or better? Key Takeaway = Trust. Obey. Suffer. Wait. Always 100% RAW. REAL.

Sexual sin always promises something—pleasure, excitement, comfort, escape—but it never tells you what it’s going to cost. In this episode of The GRIZ, Jason unpacks the biblical reality that sexual sin always harms. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6, Proverbs 5–9, the life of King David, and other passages of Scripture, he looks at the devastating consequences sexual sin can have on a man’s relationship with God, his peace, freedom, character, marriage, family, reputation, and impact. But this episode isn’t just about the consequences. It’s about learning how to avoid them. Jason shares two practical principles every Christian man needs in the battle against sexual temptation: separation and prevention. Instead of waiting until temptation hits and hoping you’re strong enough to resist it, biblical wisdom teaches us to recognize the roads that lead toward sexual sin and stay away from them. If you want to become a stronger, more disciplined man, protect what matters most, and stop being controlled by sexual temptation, this episode will challenge you to identify the “doors” you shouldn’t be going near and put practical boundaries in place before temptation ever arrives. The battle against sexual sin is often won before the temptation ever happens – – – Sponsor an Episode of the GRIZ Podcast: For $75, you’ll receive: A 60–90 second shout-out on the show that reaches thousands of listeners Your name, business, or ministry listed in the episode show notes Promotion across our podcast platforms and social media We can also do a bundle package for multiple episodes.

Suffering changes you. The question is: What will it change you into? In this episode, I share 7 things I’m learning about suffering through Scripture, personal experience, and the work of Tim Keller, C. S. Lewis, and Viktor Frankl. We talk about trusting God when life doesn’t make sense, finding meaning in pain, being present with hurting people, and refusing to waste what you’ve been through.

There are things you know you need to stop doing. But stopping isn’t enough. What do you need to START doing to become the man God is calling you to be? In this episode, Jason delivers The START IT List—a massive collection of practical challenges covering your spiritual life, character, relationships, emotional health, discipline, money, physical health, leadership, and legacy. Don’t try to do everything. Find the two or three things that hit you hardest—and start there. Stop waiting. Start becoming.

In this episode, I take several powerful principles from the Navy SEAL Code and put them alongside Scripture to ask a bigger question: What kind of man does my mission require me to become? We’ll talk about loyalty, integrity, discipline, brotherhood, spiritual warfare, controlling our emotions, enduring adversity, serving others, getting back up when we fall, and finishing our mission faithfully. Navy SEALs don’t define biblical masculinity—Jesus does. But I believe there’s a lot we can learn from men who take training, brotherhood, sacrifice, and mission seriously. If you’ve been knocked down, lost your sense of mission, or simply know there are areas of your life where you need to become stronger and more disciplined, this episode is for you.

What if pornography isn’t your biggest problem? What if it’s simply the painkiller you’ve been using to escape something much deeper? In Episode 302, I unpack why so many Christian men return to pornography—not simply because of lust, but because they’re trying to numb loneliness, rejection, anxiety, grief, stress, or other painful realities. We’ll discuss why recovery often hurts before it heals, why many men quit too soon, and how learning to face your pain with Christ is an essential part of lasting freedom and spiritual formation. This episode will challenge the way you think about recovery—and may help you finally understand what’s been driving your struggle/addiction all along.

In this episode, I take a look at the life of Elijah—one of the boldest prophets in Scripture—and what happened when fear suddenly hijacked his brain. One chapter he’s calling down fire from heaven. In the next, he’s running for his life, exhausted, afraid, and asking God to let him die. Using Elijah’s story, I talk about the spiritual journey from orientation to disorientation to reorientation. I also explore the powerful idea that “state drives story” and how the state of our nervous system can influence the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances, health, relationships, and even God. As always, I share some of my own personal struggles and what I’m learning and doing to overcome them. I hope this episode provides you with some much-needed guidance and encouragement, no matter what stage of spiritual formation you find yourself navigating through.

Episode 300 is here! First, I share my thoughts on The Odyssey movie, why I think every dad should take his son to see it, and what it teaches about manhood, courage, perseverance, temptation, and purpose. Then we dive into “The STOP IT List”—over 100 things Christian men need to stop doing if they want to grow in character, leadership, faith, and become a stronger, more attractive man. Some of it comes straight from Scripture. Some of it comes from hard-earned life lessons. Either way… this episode will challenge you, encourage you, and probably step on your toes a little. It’s time to STOP IT. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and more. – – – This week’s episode of The GRIZ Podcast is sponsored by J Harrell.

Have you ever felt troubled in your spirit? In this episode, Jason shares a brief update from his recent trip to middle Georgia before diving into a powerful phrase from John 13 that has deeply encouraged him during a difficult season. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus was “troubled in His spirit.” What does that mean? Why was He troubled? And what does it teach us about walking through betrayal, grief, emotional pain, and suffering? If you’ve ever wrestled with heartbreak, loss, rejection, or seasons when your soul simply feels heavy, this episode is a reminder that Jesus understands your pain—and that He walks with His people through every trial. Our present sufferings are not meaningless; they are preparing us for an eternal weight of glory. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why Jesus was “troubled in His spirit” What betrayal teaches us about love and suffering The biblical meaning of the fellowship of Christ’s sufferings How an eternal perspective gives us strength to persevere Why your pain is never wasted in the hands of God “The cross always comes before the crown.” – – – Sponsor an Episode of the GRIZ Podcast: For $75, you’ll receive: A 60–90 second shout-out on the show that reaches thousands of listeners Your name, business, or ministry listed in the episode show notes Promotion across our podcast platforms and social media We can also do a bundle package for multiple episodes.
