It's what causes us to stop in our tracks, to put limit on success, to imagine failure, and to put boundaries on God. The Creator of the universe did not create us with a spirit of fear, but of love and holiness. In this episode Curtis and Aaron share their fears and how fear of failure is strong in our DNA. 
How we face our fears gives strength to the next time it happens.

Sin > Evil > Exile
Before sin entered through Adam and Eve, there was perfect existence with God. Once sin entered, we gave power to evil. God redeems His people because they are only capable of more evil and sin.
Curtis and Aaron discuss the history and biblical origin on evil.

In the Old Testament, when prophets came to warn Israel of their sins often they would included warnings of injustice. God has a very strong sense of justice, and He loves to look after the ones on the rim of society. Our responsibility as Godly men is to have the same heart. How are we propagating justice for the outcast and discarded?

Being a provider as a man is deep in our programing and can look like many different things depending on our stage of life. In this episode, Aaron and Curtis discuss how God intends for us to fulfill holy design. 

In episode five Dr Brown and Aaron continue the discussion on godly masculinity being lived out or expressed by being a priest, provider and a king. In the episode they discuss what it looks like to be a priest in His Image in our culture today. As Christ followers we are called to be members of a royal priesthood. We are co-ruling creation with God and we are reflecting praise and worship back to the Creator. We are the “knot” in-between the divine and the created.

In this episode Dr Brown and Aaron take a deeper look at what it means to be a priest, provider and a king. This episode focuses on godly masculinity and how we are to live as kings in our world today. Our culture is used to seeing “toxic” masculinity and what our world is desperate to see is godly masculinity lived out.
