The Value Added Podcast

Join the Value Added Podcast as we return to where it all began on a quiet front porch in southern New Hampshire. We are taking a look back at our podcasting journey and the specific location in New Hampshire where we first came up with the idea of doing a podcast. This episode reflects on the early days of The Value Added Podcast and how far we have come since those initial conversations on this...

Christian men often struggle with finding the right balance between strength and purpose. We discuss why aggression is not the ultimate answer. Many conversations about modern masculinity focus on intensity, but we argue that Christian men need a mission that transcends themselves. This episode examines the necessity of pausing to process your direction rather than simply reacting to the world aro...

Godly masculinity isn't aggression — it's responsibility. Most Christian men don't need less fight. They need to aim it at the right target. In this video, we break down the difference between healthy and unhealthy aggression (James 1:20), the three hidden sources that drive destructive anger, and how to reframe your God-given fierceness as protection, not domination. 🔑 Key Scripture: James 1:20...

Most men wonder what they're called to do. Jared grew up watching his father preach — and still had to discover his own calling. In this conversation, we sit down with Jared — a pastor who was raised as a pastor's kid and ultimately answered God's call to full-time ministry. But the path wasn't automatic. Between the pressure of a ministry household, the real challenges men face in pastoral leader...

In this conversation, Jared sits down with Bill to talk honestly about his mental health journey and the reality of living with social anxiety disorder. Bill shares how anxiety isolated him from the people and the calling God placed on his life — and the moment everything started to shift. If you're a Christian man silently wrestling with anxiety, this is for you. You're not alone, and you're not...

Pride is one of the biggest things blocking Christian men from stepping into who God called them to be. In this episode, we get real about the pride vs humility battle every man faces — and what God's Word actually says about how to win it. Pride doesn't always look like arrogance. Sometimes it looks like control. Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like being "too strong" to ask f...

Pride doesn't announce itself. That's what makes it so dangerous. In this episode, we break down the real symptoms of pride that most men never recognize in themselves — because pride convinces you it isn't there. From uncontrollable anger to the inability to apologize, own your mistakes, or accept correction... these are the signs that pride has taken root.

Most Christian men think being nice is the same as being loving. It's not. Jesus didn't come to make people comfortable — He came to set them free. And freedom requires truth. Speaking the truth in love isn't about being gentle to the point of being silent. It's about having the courage to say what someone needs to hear, not just what they want to hear. That's how Jesus influenced people. That's b...

Would Jesus pick you as His disciple today? That's not a rhetorical question — it's one every Christian man needs to sit with. Jesus didn't randomly select His team. He chose men who were willing to be transformed, to sacrifice comfort, and to be led by the Holy Spirit — not just men who looked the part. In this episode, we break down the real standard Jesus used when building His team of disciple...

You want to influence people for God — but most men don't know where to start. Jesus did. And His first move is simpler than you think. Showing up is the foundation of godly influence. Before Jesus healed anyone, before He taught anyone, He was present. Christian leadership isn't built behind a screen or in theory — it's built in the room, face to face, consistently showing up for the people God p...

Most Christian men have mastered the Sunday version of themselves. But what does your reputation look like at home? At work? That's where your faith is actually being tested. True Christianity isn't a performance you give once a week — it's a lifestyle that holds up under pressure, behind closed doors, and when integrity starts costing you something. If the people who know you best see a different...

The man who controls everything controls nothing. That's not a motivational quote — that's a warning most Christian men learn too late. If you're the man who has to manage every outcome, fix every problem, and hold everything together — this video is for you. We're talking about the control trap. The one godly men fall into not because they're weak, but because they're capable. You can handle thin...

Too many Christian men are destroying their witness without even realizing it. We've confused conviction with control, and spiritual authority with spiritual arrogance. The result? We're pushing people further from Jesus — not closer to Him. In this video, we break down how the "my way or the highway" attitude is one of the most dangerous traps a godly man can fall into. True Christian leadership...
