About this episode
In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, I sit down with J. Josh Smith, author of The Man for the Day, for a powerful conversation about biblical masculinity, intentional discipleship, and becoming the man God is calling you to be right now.
We talk about what it means to be the man for the day in your home, your church, and your community. Not yesterday’s man. Not tomorrow’s man. But the faithful, present, obedient man God requires today.
In this conversation, we cover:
- Why men struggle with passivity and distraction
- The daily disciplines that shape godly masculinity
- Leadership in the home without harshness or apathy
- Raising sons and discipling young men
- Practical steps to stop drifting and start leading
