How much is enough—or have you become willing to sacrifice your peace, family, health, and integrity just to get more? In this episode of Northman Coaching’s Seven Deadly Sins , Gary confronts greed through Colossians 3:5, where Scripture calls greed what it truly is: idolatry . Greed isn’t limited to money. A man can become greedy for attention, recognition, control, possessions, sex, status, or...

On September 11, 2001, hatred tried to bring America to its knees. Instead, courage rose, strangers became neighbors, and a divided nation stood together. As we remember those we lost—and honor Charlie Kirk this week—may we reject hatred, defend truth, and never surrender our faith or humanity. #NeverForget911 #September11 #UnitedWeStand #CharlieKirk #NorthmanCoaching

What if the fire you keep asking God to remove is the very thing He is using to refine you? Mark 9:49 says, “Everyone will be salted with fire.” Following Christ does not mean avoiding every hardship. Sometimes faith leads us directly through the fire—not to destroy us, but to reveal what needs to change within us. Pressure exposes hidden pride, fear, resentment, and destructive habits. The reject...

How much is your word worth when nothing is forcing you to keep it? Credibility cannot be demanded, purchased, or built through promises alone. It is earned when your actions consistently support your words—especially when following through is difficult, inconvenient, or unseen. In this episode of the Northman Coaching Podcast, Gary Hults explores how men build, damage, and restore credibility in...

Credibility is built like a bank account. Honesty, accountability, and keeping your promises make deposits. Every excuse, exaggeration, and half-truth makes a withdrawal.

Why are you living as though something can take you away from the God who refuses to let you go? Relationships may end. Careers may change. People may betray you, and you may lose something you desperately prayed to keep. But John 10:29 reminds us that changing circumstances cannot change your position in God’s hand. Your fear cannot remove you. Your grief cannot pull you away. Another person’s re...

Are you really being honest—or are you using honesty as permission to hurt people? In Episode 16 of Northman Coaching’s Seven Deadly Sins, Gary confronts wrath and the damage caused when anger disguises itself as honesty. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says, “Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.” Truth is meant to bring clarity. Wrath uses truth—or pieces of it—to pu...

Are your good intentions making you stronger—or giving you an excuse to remain undisciplined? In Mark 14:38, Jesus warns His disciples: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Wanting to pray, control your anger, or break a destructive habit is not the same as preparing to do it. Spiritual discipline requires recognizing your weakne...

In Mark 14:38, Jesus warns His disciples: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Wanting to pray, control your anger, or break a destructive habit is not the same as preparing to do it. Spiritual discipline requires recognizing your weaknesses, establishing boundaries, and bringing the battle to God before temptation arrives. Your...

Why does correction feel like disrespect when it might be exactly what you need to hear? In Episode 15 of Northman Coaching’s Seven Deadly Sins, Gary confronts pride—not just the loud, arrogant kind, but the pride that becomes defensive, shuts down, and refuses to listen. Proverbs 18:12 says, “Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” If every correction feels like...

What are you willing to surrender when God’s will conflicts with what you desperately want? In Mark 14:36, Jesus faced the suffering of the cross and prayed honestly: “Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Surrender doesn’t mean denying your fear or pretending the pain isn’t real. It means trusting God enough to choose obedience—even when a relationship ends, a door close...

When people interact with you, do they walk away feeling respected—or like they were simply in your way? In this episode of the Northman Coaching Podcast, Gary explores why courtesy is much more than good manners.

You can win every argument and still lose the person you love. Proverbs 15:1 teaches us that a gentle answer can defuse anger, while harsh words only add fuel to the fire. Real strength isn’t unloading on someone simply because you’re angry. It’s having every reason to react and still choosing your words carefully—or choosing to keep your mouth shut. Controlling your response isn’t weakness. It’s...

What truth do you already know—but keep refusing to act on? In Episode 14 of Northman Coaching’s Seven Deadly Sins, Gary confronts sloth—not simply as laziness, but as knowing what needs to be done and continuing to avoid it. James 4:17 says, “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” Some men stay busy so they never have to become productive. They wo...

f every relationship, friendship, or job ends the same way, it may be time to stop blaming everyone else and recognize the pattern. Proverbs 26:11 warns us about repeating the same destructive behavior without learning from it. Accountability begins when the excuses end.

What are you training your eyes to want—and what is it doing to your heart? In Episode 13 of Northman Coaching’s Seven Deadly Sins, Gary confronts lust and the undisciplined decisions that allow it to take control. Job 31:1 says, “I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.” Lust doesn’t begin in the bedroom. It begins with what you repeatedly look at, entertain, and all...

Description: The fastest way to stay stuck is to believe you’re always the smartest man in the room. Proverbs 12:15 reminds us that a fool trusts only his own judgment, while a wise man listens to advice. Wisdom doesn’t come from always having the answer. It comes through humility, teachability, and knowing when to listen. Getting older happens automatically—becoming a man requires growth. Join AJ...
