EP 112: What Makes a Good Man? with Donnie Griggs
What does it actually mean to become a good man? In a culture where it's so easy for men to become obsessed with greatness, achievement, and influence, many guys find themselves chasing the wrong things. In this conversation, Jordan sits down with pastor and author Donnie Griggs and explores why goodness and faithfulness matter more than being impressive—and why becoming a good man is a lifelong journey we were never meant to walk alone. Jordan and Donnie talk honestly about responsibility, the weight men are meant to carry, and what happens when men avoid the responsibilities that help them grow. They also unpack a vision of masculinity that refuses to choose between strength and tenderness, and the biblical truth that men need brothers, not just buddies—men who know us, encourage us, speak truth to us and walk with us through every season of life. Join Jordan and Donnie for a compelling conversation about responsibility, friendship, masculinity, faithfulness and what it really means to become a good man.

EP 111: Why God Makes Men Sleep with Brett McCracken
Most guys know they probably need to sleep better—but few realize that sleep is far more than just a physical necessity. In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris sits down with author and Gospel Coalition journalist Brett McCracken to explore the deeper meaning behind one of God's most overlooked gifts. Drawing from his new book, The Wisdom of Sleep: How Rest Reveals God's Truth and Revives Weary Souls, Brett unpacks how sleep is not just a physical need but a powerful act that actually points to the grace, sovereignty, and wisdom of God. While science continues to discover the incredible benefits of sleep for our bodies, minds, and emotions, Scripture also reveals that sleep points us toward even deeper realities: our dependence on God, our need for rest in Him, and the Gospel hope of resurrection. Brett and Chris discuss why modern men struggle with rest in a culture shaped by technology, constant productivity, and the pressure to always achieve, and explore the danger of measuring our worth by our work, and how choosing rest can actually be an act of worship and trust in God's provision. The conversation also dives into the fascinating world of dreams—what science is learning about them, how God used dreams throughout Scripture, and what dreams reveal about the mystery of God's work in our lives. Whether you struggle with sleep or simply want to grow in your understanding of this intriguing topic, this fascinating conversation will challenge every man to view sleep differently.

EP 110: Why Men Overthink God's Will with Doug Wekenman
In a world filled with uncertainty, many men find themselves asking the same question: How do I know what God wants me to do? Whether a man is at a crossroads in his career, facing personal challenges, trying to make good choices for his family, or simply searching for his next steps in his faith journey, discerning the right thing to do can be daunting. Godly men want to please the Lord, and want to walk in His will—but how can we know if we're getting it right? Pastor Doug Wekenman leads a church called Red Rocks Austin and has written a new book, What Does God Have Planned For Me Next?, which seeks to answer some of these important questions that every man must grapple with. Doug and Dean have an engaging and far-ranging conversation about finding God's will, wrestling through tough decisions, how to bring others into your decision-making journey, and learning the many various ways God speaks to His sons. Navigating life's uncertainties can be overwhelming, but by understanding how to follow God's voice and recognizing the signs He provides to guide His kids, any man can learn to make decisions with confidence.

EP 109: The Spiritual Power of Hobbies with Josh Hageman
Ask a man what his hobby is, and many won't have an answer. Lots of guys find themselves overwhelmed by work and family responsibilities; their own needs are secondary, so they don't take the time to think about what might be enjoyable for them to do on the side. Somewhere along the way, we stop creating, exploring, playing, and enjoying the gifts God has placed within us because we are focused on taking care of others, and don't want to be (or appear) selfish by focusing on ourselves. But what if reclaiming healthy leisure isn't selfish, but spiritual? In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Jordan sits down with pastor Josh Hageman to explore the surprising theology of hobbies. From Scandinavian mid-century furniture to basketball, skateboarding, and even video games, they discuss why God designed men for more than mere productivity, how hobbies can become acts of worship, why they contribute to a man's soul and well-being, and how they can open the door to meaningful conversations with people far from God. They also tackle the other side of the conversation: When does a hobby become an idol? How do we keep healthy boundaries? And how can the passions we love become opportunities for mission instead of escape? Whether you've lost touch with the things that once brought you joy or you're wondering if your interests have any Kingdom value, this conversation will challenge you to see hobbies in a whole new light.

EP 108: Finding Hope in the Darkness with Mark Soppitt
Where can a man turn in his darkest hours? The Sunday School answer is "Jesus!" and that's not wrong—but how does a man do that? What's more, how does a man do that when everything within him is pulling him in the opposite direction? In this episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris is joined by Mark Soppitt, a former police officer, pastor, and current spiritual coach who uses his story of plunging into the depths of soul-crushing depression and debilitating bipolar disorder, and how God met him in that place and turned everything around. Out of his own testimony of profound healing and transformation, Mark now lives his life to help others find the grace and strength that Jesus offers to all who need it. Join us for Mark's inspiring story, and find fresh hope today. https://www.impactus.org/podcast/ep-108-finding-hope-in-the-darkness-with-mark-soppitt Website: https://impactus.org/ Check Our Resources for Men: https://impactus.org/resources/ ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/impactusmen/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/impactusmen/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactusmen/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/impactusmen This Is Me TV: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThisIsMeTVShow

EP 107: The Surprising State of Bible Engagement in Canada with Father Matthew Francis
Lots of Canadians have access to a Bible. Far fewer actually open it. And even fewer experience what God wants to do through it. In this compelling conversation, Father Matthew Francis, an Orthodox priest in Chilliwack, B.C., and a Regional Director with the Canadian Bible Society, shares with Dean why so many men struggle to engage with Scripture—and why it's never too late to start again. Dean and Matthew dig into the power of simple, consistent habits that shape a man's faith and offer practical, encouraging wisdom for men who feel stuck, distracted, discouraged, or even disqualified from drawing near to God. You'll also hear some fascinating insights from recent research on Bible engagement in Canada, discover why newcomers to this nation are often more engaged with Scripture than lifelong Canadians, and learn about the incredible work being done to translate the Bible into Indigenous languages in our land. If you're a man who's ever struggled to maintain a daily time with God, wondered how to make Bible reading more meaningful, or just want to hear about what God is up to across Canada, this conversation will bless and encourage you!

EP 106: Should the Church Be Talking About UFOs? with Nathan Zieber
Why are so many people suddenly talking about UFOs, UAPs, aliens, and the supernatural? And how should Christian men respond? In this fascinating conversation, Jordan is joined by pastor and former private investigator Nathan Zieber, who has spent more than a decade ministering to people wrestling with unexplained phenomena in our world. Together, they explore why the current wave of interest in UFOs and the supernatural presents both challenges and opportunities for the Church. Most importantly, this episode challenges the Church to engage spiritual seekers rather than avoid difficult conversations. As people in our time search for meaning, mystery, and transcendence, Christians have a unique opportunity to point them toward Jesus. Join us as we explore the fascinating intersection of faith, unexplained phenomena, and the supernatural, and how Christian men can engage with these matters thoughtfully and biblically.

EP 105: When Faith Gets Dangerous with Chris Chase
Let's honestly try to answer a very hard question: What price are you actually willing to pay to follow Jesus? While we in the West generally don't need to grapple with that question to the fullest, we have brothers and sisters all over the world for whom that question is a life-or-death daily reality. In this powerful episode of the Impactus podcast, Chris sits down with Chris Chase of Open Doors Canada to confront what most Western men don't really want or need to face. Through the remarkable legacy of Brother Andrew—"God's Smuggler" who risked everything to deliver Bibles behind enemy lines during the Cold War—Chris and Chris delve into the ongoing story of a global Church under intense pressure, yet also, amazingly, thriving and alive. You'll hear firsthand insights into the lives of believers in places like North Korea, Nigeria, and Iran, where faith can mean imprisonment, violence, or death. Yet instead of fear, these fellow believers choose courage, joy, and unshakable conviction. Their example powerfully challenges our comfort-driven faith that is so common in North America, and invites men to reconsider what trusting and following Jesus really looks like. Don't miss it!
