The Average Joe

Are you weak or meek? What is your role, protector, healer, or prayer? This week dive into the idea of weakness in Christian men. The conversation quickly dives into being meek instead of weak, and filling the role that you are meant to fill, protector, healer, or prayer.

On this episode, an absentee host of the podcast proposed a question that a few others bat around and discuss. Topics discussed include: The truth vs. your/my truth, being well informed on what you support, getting to know other men in the church, and the necessity for leaving the path for discussion open.

Did you know that more that 70% of women who are married to "true" Christian men say that they are happier in their marriage? Well you do now! In this episode, three of the Joes wrestle with the idea of nominal Christians and "true" Christians, and how this can affect fatherhood and marriage. They discuss what should come first in a marriage and how society and culture today te...

Average is what you can expect from us! The knuckle dragging Neanderthal. "Spaghetti with a Chance of Meatballs meets The Incredibles." Meek is not weak.

When did you realize you were a man? Our pastor swore, but at least he didn't teach it to his kids. Ryan is a gopher. We are missing the hallmarks of moving from boyhood to manhood.

Life is not always neat and tidy. Sometimes our choices lead us down difficult paths and yet God never forsakes us. This week we take a break from our round-table podcasts and we spend some time with one of Hope Chapel's own. Welcome to the life and times of Joey Baseball.

This week we wrap up our discussion on Ezra and Nehemiah. We identify with his last words of "Remember me with favor." We also dive into what it means to fight as a Christian man, especially when we have given all we got and feel as though we have no more to give. How do we fight for our families, our sons and daughters, wives and homes?

This weeks round table discussion is around Israel's purity and the Ezra's decree to divorce. What idols do we create that pull us away from God plan for us? What does it take for our world to return to Christ?

This week we discuss practical application of the sermon on Ezra. We dive a bit into life in Babylon and how we grow so comfortable in our own Babylon that we resist leaving it for Jerusalem. Great practical advice on how to balance living out our faith as men in our work place and in our daily lives.

Our first episode is a short round table with the 6 men who have felt called to get the men's ministry of Hope Chapel up and running. In this podcast we introduce ourselves briefly and then bounce around the topic of "Fellowship," something that as men doesn't always come easily. We "do" things together, and we'll stand around make jokes and small talk, but rarely do we venture into deeper convers...

The Average Joes podcast is a discipleship arm of Hope Chapel in Perry NY. Our desire is to connect with men as they seek to imitate Christ and to do it in such a way that it fits in to the busy lives of men and doesn't require more time away from their families.
