Men on Mission Podcast

In this episode of Men on Mission, Jon and Dean unpack Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” They explain why Jesus doesn’t call us to be peacekeepers—but peacemakers. You’ll discover how true peace isn’t found in avoiding conflict or preserving comfort, but in boldly stepping into tension to bring reconciliation—first between people...

What does it mean to be pure in heart—and why does Jesus promise that those who are will see God? In this episode of Men on Mission, Jon and Dean continue their journey through the Beatitudes, unpacking Matthew 5:8. They explore the biblical meaning of the heart as the center of the mind, desires, and will—and why true purity is not self-produced, but received through Christ. This conversation con...

What does it really mean to be merciful? In this episode of Men on Mission, Jon and Dean unpack Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.” Building on the first half of the Beatitudes, they show how mercy flows out of a life that has been emptied of self and filled with God’s righteousness. Biblical mercy is more than withholding judgment—it is compassi...

In this episode of Men on Mission, we continue our journey through Jesus’ Beatitudes and arrive at the hinge point of the entire passage: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6 The first three Beatitudes are all about emptying—recognizing our need, mourning our sin, and surrendering our strength. But Verse 6 marks the transition: once we...

In this episode of Men on Mission, we continue our journey through the Beatitudes by unpacking the third one: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Meekness is often misunderstood. Our culture sees it as timidity or weakness,  but Jesus defines it as strength under control. Today, we break down why meekness is essential for biblical manhood, how it forms the foundation of spiri...

In this episode of Men on Mission, John and Dean break down the second Beatitude: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Building on poverty of spirit (Matthew 5:3), they explain how biblical mourning is a deep, God-centered sorrow over sin—not guilt, not shame, and not worldly regret. You’ll learn the difference between biblical mourning and worldly mourning, why true repenta...

In S2E10 of Men on Mission, Jon and Dean kick off a new series on the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–12)—the foundation of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. This first episode unpacks what it means to be “poor in spirit”—not material poverty, but total dependence on God. Discover how the Beatitudes form a divine progression: emptying, filling, outpouring, and the world’s reaction. Learn why true happiness begi...

In S2E9 of Men on Mission, Jon and Dean unpack Martin Geary’s article “The Endarkenment” and probe what it reveals about our era: truth privatized, desires elevated, and power replacing moral meaning. This episode calls Christian men to reclaim their role as prophets and priests, boldly communicating the unchanging truth of God’s word in a culture searching for a standard. If you’re trying to unde...

What does it mean to grow into true, biblical manhood? Jon and Dean unpack C.S. Lewis’s, The Abolition of Man, and Paul’s charge in 1 Corinthians 13:11—calling men to maturity, discipline, and moral courage. They explore how prayer, Scripture, and the Spirit shape our hearts so that truth—not desire—leads the way. This episode challenges men to build “the chest” Lewis described: a conscience stron...

Based on C.S. Lewis’s timeless sermon, The Weight of Glory, this Men on Mission teaching explores the paradox of Christian longing. Our desires are too shallow, not too strong. Learn what it means to seek the “holiday by the sea,” to embrace humility, and to live not for applause—but for the approval of God Himself.   #CSLewis #ChristianPodcast #MenOnMission #MenOfTheKingdom #BiblicalManhood 

Are you sacrificing what matters most for what matters less? In this episode of Men on Mission, we dive into C.S. Lewis’s powerful essay “First and Second Things”—a short but life-changing reminder that when we put second things above first things, we lose both. Join us as we unpack: Lewis’s wisdom on imagination, truth, and the hierarchy of goods Real-life applications for marriage, parenting, wo...

What’s the mission of a man today? In this episode, we’re talking about work, identity, marriage, and why so many men are tired, isolated, and burned out. Drawing from Scripture and cultural insights, we break down what it means to live on mission — not just at your job, but in your family, your church, and your community. We cover: Why men are retreating into work (and what to do about it) How cu...

Too many men are drifting — stuck in apathy, distracted, or waiting for the “right time” to lead. But passivity isn’t harmless. In fact, it’s one of the enemy’s most effective weapons. In this episode, we get honest about what passivity looks like, how it creeps into our faith, and why urgency matters. Jesus didn’t call us to wait around — He called us to move, to act, and to lead with love and co...

In this episode, we dive into what it really means to live out biblical manhood through servant leadership. We talk about how true greatness isn’t about power or status but about humbly serving others, just like Jesus taught in Mark chapter 10. You’ll hear how cultural shifts, especially since the industrial revolution, have changed how men and women see their roles — and how the Bible calls us to...

What does biblical manhood really look like? In this episode, we unpack how the Bible defines leadership, marriage, and masculinity; far beyond what culture tells us. Drawing from Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, and Genesis 2, we dive deep into the call for men to lead with strength and sacrifice. This conversation covers: Biblical headship and what it actually means Submission, authority, and mutual serv...

Is masculinity actually toxic—or are we just getting it wrong? In this first episode of Season 2, we’re cutting through the noise. We’re talking about what real, biblical manhood looks like, not what culture says it is.
