Most men were never taught how to identify what they're actually feeling — and that gap shows up everywhere: in your marriage, your friendships, your faith, and your ability to lead. In this episode, counselor and addiction specialist Jesse Bailey breaks down emotional awareness, attachment styles, and the real check engine lights most of us ignore or don't even recognize. Honest, practical, and grounded in faith, Jesse teaches us that emotional awareness isn't weakness or navel-gazing but instead a foundational skill that determines how well you show up. This conversation is worth sitting with. 👉 Listen and learn that emotional awareness isn't weakness or navel-gazing. 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Check us out on YouTube:: Video Podcast    As always, shoot us your questions at [email protected] and enjoy today's episode. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ When someone asks how you're doing, what's the honest answer beneath the one you usually give — and what might that gap be telling you? ✅ Matt shares that he carried an emotion card in his wallet to name what he was actually feeling.

Most men spend their lives chasing identity through success, approval, or what they own, only to wonder why they feel exhausted. In this episode, Matt Winter and Drew Tarwater explore where our identity really comes from, why comparison keeps us stuck, and how discovering who God says you are changes the way you live every part of your life. Social media, work, relationships, and even our own expectations can shape the way we see ourselves, but that can all change when we know our source. Whether you’re navigating career pressure, leading a family, or simply wondering why you never feel like you’re doing enough, this conversation offers practical encouragement and biblical ground to stand on.

In this Father's Day episode of Uncharted, a group of dads share honest stories about parenting failures, lessons learned, and the moments that have shaped them most.

In a world filled with uncertainty, suffering is inevitable. But quitting is not. In this episode from our Sharpen men’s gathering, U.S. Army Ranger Brandon Young shares a deeply personal journey through war, loss, fear, and a marriage that nearly ended. The central question: Will you merely endure hardship — or will you persevere through it? Drawing from Romans 5, Ecclesiastes 3, and the mountains of Afghanistan, this message reminds us that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance shapes character, and character anchors us in hope. Perseverance is not about grit alone. ⚔️ It’s about trusting that God is forming you into something new. If you feel like you’re in a dead spin — in your marriage, leadership, or private battles — this episode is a reminder: God isn’t finished. Hope is on the other side of hardship. And perseverance brings joy. 👉 Listen now and be encouraged to trust God with the unforeseen territories of your life and future. 🎧 Also available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 📺 Check us out on YouTube:: Video Podcast    As always, shoot us your questions at [email protected] and enjoy today's episode. ============================= Reflection Questions: ============================= ✅ Where in my life am I currently in a “dead spin” — uncertain, afraid, or tempted to quit? ✅ Am I merely enduring this season, or am I allowing God to transform me through it? ✅ What fear is holding me in place right now? ✅ What small step of obedience could I take this week toward perseverance? ✅ If God is forming character in me through this season, what might that look like a year from now? ============================= Uncharted: Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Matt Winter 🎉 SPECIAL GUESTS:: Brandon Young 🎥 VIDEO + SEO DIRECTORS:: Zac Anderson, Colin McFarland 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of Lepard Productions + The Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
