In this episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen talk about why most New Year goals die fast and what to do instead. They unpack the difference between setting goals and building daily disciplines, then pull back the curtain on the origin story of Dustin’s book Becoming a Man After God. Dustin shares how a season of overload pushed him to the edge and how one question shifted everything from doing things for God to learning how to do life with God. Together, they challenge men to prioritize what matters, build rhythms that protect their walk with Christ and their families, and pursue holistic stewardship that includes spiritual, mental, and physical health. They close with a simple reflection tool that turns listening into action so growth becomes real and repeatable.Chapters00:00 Why goals die by January 5 and why daily agenda matters02:01 Dustin’s goals and the action plans behind them04:48 Spiritual goals at home and intentional discipleship with kids05:26 Luke’s goals, Working Genius, and teaching core principles to children07:12 Why Dustin wrote Becoming a Man After God08:55 The overload season, the warning signs, and the breaking point13:30 The five part framework that shaped the book18:00 Who you are becoming and how decisions shape identity20:37 Discipline, rhythms, Daniel 1, and the power of small choices23:42 Why you never arrive and why that is the point27:56 Holistic stewardship and why spiritual, mental, and physical are connected29:59 Reflection questions that turn content into changeResources mentioned in this episodeBecoming a Man After God by Dustin Alley - https://a.co/d/5KZkPq0Working Genius assessment and certification - https://www.workinggenius.com/John Beasley, Mind and Body Fitness - https://mindandbodystrength.com/Greater Oaks Foundation and Spartan fundraiser - https://fundraise.spartan.com/page/Dustin-26972750Dustin’s Airbnb in Kissimmee Florida - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1569707871787434572?source_impression_id=p3_1767051701_P35rKxpUcJYzGAiHSupport the show📌 Connect with Men After God:🌍 Website: www.menaftergod.net📺 YouTube: www.youtube.com/@menaftergodpod📷 Instagram: www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod👥 Join Our Community: facebook.com/groups/menaftergod🛒 Get MAG Merch: https://menaftergod.myshopify.com/💙 Support Us: www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
