A discipleship arm of Hope Chapel FMC in Perry NY. We are a group of average guys working to bring men together to build and create spiritual leaders in the home, in the church and in the community. This podcast came about in an effort to accomplish this goal beyond Sunday mornings, and without requiring more time away from family life.

From Weakness to Meekness 06.07.2023 43:57

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.

Awake But Not Woke 28.06.2023 41:22

On this episode, an absentee host of the podcast proposed a question that a few others bat around and discuss.

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...

Neanderthal in the Church 14.06.2023 45:02

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.

"Boys to Men" 07.06.2023 45:52

Week 4 Interview with Joey Baseball 05.04.2023 26:27

Fighting When You Have Nothing Left to Give. 29.03.2023 30:23

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?

Ezra and what it means for us. 22.03.2023 36:16

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?

Week 2 Discussion of Ezra 15.03.2023 33:04

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.

Episode 1 - Why is fellowship important for the Lone Wolf? 08.03.2023 16:13

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...
