The Next Chapter with Seun Adeyemi

It's late. The house is quiet. Your wife is asleep. And something in you — you already know what it is — reaches for the phone. This episode is for that man. Not to shame him. Not to give him another accountability app or a list of rules that haven't worked yet. But to tell him the truth about what he's actually hungry for — and where that hunger was always supposed to go. The problem is not that...

Most men know they need the church. Fewer know what kind of church they actually need. Part 1 made the case that you can't follow Jesus alone. Part 2 answers the harder question — if you're going to commit to a local church, what does a healthy one actually look like? And how do you know if what you're currently in is building you up or slowly making you weaker? In this second half of the roundtab...

You can't follow Jesus alone. And yet, millions of Christian men are trying to do exactly that. In Part 1 of this roundtable, Seun sits down with three brothers he does life with — James, Craig, and Justin — for an honest conversation about why men disconnect from the local church, what it costs them when they do, and what it actually looks like when the body of Christ shows up. This is Part 1 of...

In this episode, Seun Adeyemi shares his personal journey through depression and how biblical counseling — not secular therapy — led him to the root of what he was experiencing: an identity crisis rooted in misplaced worship. Joined by Paul Flannery, a certified biblical counselor and trainer with the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC), Seun unpacks why Scripture is sufficient to address the...

Most Christian men don't have an attendance problem with church. They have a love problem. In this episode of The Next Chapter, Seun Adeyemi makes the case that the men who've drifted from the local church — the one who shows up but never invests, the one who left with legitimate grievances, the one watching online from the comfort of home — aren't dealing with a commitment problem. They're dealin...

You've been chasing a number. And when you got there, the number moved. Researchers have a name for it — the hedonic treadmill. Within about a year of reaching a new level of success or income, the feeling fades and the goalpost shifts. Solomon described it in Ecclesiastes thousands of years earlier: all is vanity and a striving after the wind. In this episode, Seun Adeyemi asks the question most...

Who are you? Not what you do. Not the roles you carry. Not the titles you’ve been given. In this episode, we explore why many of the struggles men face—confusion, comparison, striving, and even crisis—can often be traced back to a misplaced understanding of identity . Drawing directly from Scripture and a helpful framework from The Titus 10 Men by Josh Smith, this conversation reframes identity no...

Most fathers and leaders overlook a vital truth: true disciple-making begins at home. In this powerful episode, Seun Adeyemi sits down with his father—a man whose life exemplifies how intentional sacrifice, rooted in faith, transforms generations. By sharing his journey from a wild, irresponsible youth to a spiritual father dedicated to discipling his children, he reveals timeless principles of fa...

In this conversation, Seun Adeyemi discusses the concept of 'drift' in the lives of men, particularly fathers, who may be physically present but emotionally and spiritually absent from their families. He emphasizes the importance of intentionality in nurturing relationships with spouses and children, highlighting that providing for a family is just the beginning of a father's responsibilities. Ade...
