Send us Fan Mail What makes an uncommon husband? In our very first guest episode, Jon and Devin sit down with Matt Powers, co-host of the Married AF podcast with his wife, to talk about men, relationships, and marriage the way God intended. Matt and his wife have been married 18 years and have walked through the worst of it and out the other side. He talks about why so many couples end up as roommates, what Ephesians 5 actually asks of husbands, why serving your wife comes is so important, and why transparency and vulnerability decide whether a marriage thrives or falls apart.

Send us Fan Mail You already know pride is a problem. The real question is what it's taking from you. In part two of our conversation on pride, Jon and Devin go through where that cost shows up. We talk about the friendships that quietly fall apart, the apology you can't bring yourself to give, and why "I'm sorry, but..." isn't an apology. We get into marriage and the habit of keeping score, fatherhood and what your kids learn when they watch you get it wrong, and how a lot of anger is really just a bruised ego. We also cover how pride creeps into your spiritual life, why being correctable matters, and who in your life has permission to tell you you're wrong. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail In this weeks episode, Devin and Jon talk about pride. The obvious kind and the kind that hides behind insecurity or independence. They talk through where it actually comes from, why refusing help or needing the last word counts just as much as bragging does, and how a confident CEO ended up at the bottom of the ocean. Along the way they own where they've each had to ask God to prune it out of them, not as a finished process but an ongoing one. This one starts with a hard look in the mirror.

Send us Fan Mail Being smart and being wise are not the same thing. Jon and Devin break down what wisdom actually is, the difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom, and practical steps to actually grow in it. Some of the most capable people in history knew exactly how to get what they wanted, and it still led to ruin. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail What are we actually aiming at? Goals are a good servant but a terrible master, and we need a mission before we need a goal. Discipline without a target is just motion with no direction. What SMART goals actually mean, why review and adjustment matter more than the goal itself, and a challenge to set one goal in four areas together, spiritual, physical, family, and work. Success was never measured by what we accumulate. It's measured by who we're becoming. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail A priority list only means something if you actually live by it. What gets your time, what gets pushed to tomorrow, what gets the first fifteen minutes of your morning, that tells the real story, whether it matches what you'd say out loud or not. God first, then spouse and family, then work, then everything else, that's the order. The question isn't what you'd claim your priorities are. It's what they actually are. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail Some men walk away from the faith. Some never really arrive. Some sit in church every week and never actually follow Jesus. Seven reasons why, and every man thinks he's the exception. Knowing about Jesus isn't the same as following Him. The question isn't whether you show up. It's whether you've actually come.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we break down Luke 9:23-27. We talk about what it it is commonly thought to mean, and what it actually means to deny yourself, die to control, and follow Christ. A choice that we have to make every single day. This isn't about tolerating stress or minor inconvenience. It's about whether Jesus is your Savior only, or if He's also your Lord.

Send us Fan Mail This episode breaks down what passive living actually looks like, why comfort became the goal in the first place, and what God actually called men to do with their lives. Spoiler: it wasn't to float. The goal isn't maximum comfort. It's obedience and purpose. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail Thomas doubted. David lamented. Peter sank mid-miracle. The strongest men in Scripture had moments of deep uncertainty, and none of them kept it to themselves forever. Why doubt is common, why men hide it, and what it looks like to face it without walking away from faith. YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail The Apostle Paul went from actively hunting and consenting to the deaths of Christians to writing nearly half the New Testament. In this episode, we break down what actually made Paul an Uncommon Man: his laser focus on the mission God gave him, his refusal to be defined by his past, his adaptability in impossible circumstances, and a joy that was less spiritual sentiment and more outright defiance. If you've ever thought you've gone too far or messed up too much, Paul's story is a direct answer to that lie. Every Yes by Jen Matthews YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail You can speak life or death. That is not an exaggeration, the Bible is clear on it. Jon and Devin break down how to stop speaking negatively over yourself and others, how to give correction without crushing people, and what it looks like to be intentional with every word.

Send us Fan Mail Forgiveness is easy to talk about and hard to live out. In this episode, we get real about broken trust, resentment, and what it actually looks like to forgive while still using wisdom and protecting your peace. Forgiveness frees your heart, and rebuilding trust is a separate process that takes time and discernment. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting on an apology that never came or found yourself growing bitter, this conversation will help you breathe again. Forgiveness isn’t weakness—it’s clarity, discipline, and choosing grace when bitterness feels easier. That’s uncommon. If this episode adds value to your walk, share it with a brother who needs it and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your story might help someone else take the next step toward healing.

Send us Fan Mail What if the hardest person you’ll ever lead is the one in the mirror? In this episode, we dig into the real work of self-leadership—aligning your faith, mindset, and daily habits so you can become a man worth following at home, at work, and in your community. We walk through Romans 12, the “six inches” between your ears, and the small private wins that shape who you are when no one’s watching. You’ll hear practical tools for breaking autopilot, keeping promises to yourself, setting goals that matter, and building routines that actually stick—plus a few honest stories and friendly jabs along the way. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and let us know: what’s the first small win you’re stacking this week? YouTube Instagram Facebook

Send us Fan Mail Life gets busy fast—work, screens, sleep, repeat. We hit record to interrupt the autopilot and build what we were missing: a faith-driven space for men who want to lead well, love their families, and stop settling for ordinary. We share our stories—ministry, military, fatherhood—and how a simple small group became a brotherhood. We unpack Matthew 14 and Peter stepping out of the boat: courage isn’t the absence of waves, it’s walking anyway. Peter walked before fear pulled him under—a reminder that pressure and doubt often mean you’re moving. We talk excellence over perfection, time with God, avoiding “vending machine faith,” and why self-leadership starts at home. If you lead yourself at a four, you won’t lead your family at a ten. Uncommon Man is real stories, biblical truth, and practical steps you can use now. Next week we dive into self-leadership. If you’re ready to step out of the boat, we’re walking with you.
