GreatMan
Manhood is not merely a product of biology, but rather the result of maturing, learning, and experience. While being born male is a matter of genetics, becoming a man is a matter of choice. The GreatMan Podcast is here to equip men to make that choice by uniquely combining three diverse perspectives, blending academic insight with practical guidance to help men build greatness in every area of life. Unlike most podcasts, we tackle a single topic over two weeks: the first episode–“The Talk”–offers a broad overview led by New York Times bestselling author, Stephen Mansfield, while the following episode–“The Build”–focuses on practical steps led by men’s coaches, Anthony Flemons and JT McCraw, to integrate the theme into daily life. In all that we do, we believe that males are born, and men are built.
Why You're NOT Willing to Take a Vacation
Most men have a reason they can't take a break — not enough time, not enough money, or they'll get to it eventually — but every excuse is really just a way of saying work matters more than the people they're working to support. The truth is that most men spend their best years working to build a life for those around them, but in the process, miss out on the very life they're building. Stop sacrificing relationships for responsibilities and start interrupting the routines that are quietly costing you what matters most. Whether it's a timeshare presentation or a state park campsite, the goal isn't a lavish getaway — it's the memories, the presence, and the reminder that rest isn't laziness; it's recovery.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Dad in the Arena
When life gets chaotic, most fathers default to either martyrdom or victimhood — grinding themselves into the ground or surrendering to their circumstances — and both paths lead to burnout, bitterness, and broken relationships. This episode with JT and special guest, Chris Tyrrell, unpacks why shrewd margin management isn't a luxury but a prerequisite for showing up well for the people who need you most. Because the goal was never to be impressive — it's to make an impression that lasts.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Build: Hating Women
Holding a moderate, nuanced view of women is harder than the extremes — it's easier to antagonize or idolize than to see clearly. Women are susceptible to corruption, violence, betrayal, and anger—just like men are. When we stop expecting perfection from our complementary counterparts, we begin to see them for who they are: image-bearers of God. To do this, we must listen without defensiveness, lead without controlling, disagree without belittling, protect without possessing, and love without demanding. Join JT, Anthony, and Stephen for this powerful roundtable discussion about women.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Talk: Hating Women
For most of ancient history, women were cast as treacherous and weakness-inducing — a view the Judeo-Christian tradition directly subverted by elevating women to authority, granting them enhanced rights, and honoring them as vessels of divine purpose. Though women have never held more cultural standing than they do today, the attitude toward them by unhealthy men still reeks of ancient prejudice; Today's young men are dating less, marrying less, and withdrawing from women at historic rates. This episode explores what's behind that retreat — and what healthy fatherhood has to do with whether boys ever learn to move toward women at all.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Talk: Uncomplicate It!!
"It's complicated."It sounds thoughtful. It sounds nuanced.But it's really just a dodge.Men often avoid making moral decisions by employing what they think is an explanation, but is really a deflection. Most moral issues aren't actually that complex; we just don't want to pay the price that a clear answer would demand. In this episode, Stephen challenges you to uncomplicate your moral vision and discover how clarity of conviction leads to confidence in every area of your life.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/ Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Build: FutureVision
What happens to a man when he stops believing tomorrow can be better than today? Men over 55 make up 28% of suicide deaths despite being only 12% of the population — and at the core of that crisis is a loss of FutureVision. In this episode, JT and Anthony explore what it means to have a "why" big enough to sustain you, the role of faith and load-bearing friendships in keeping that vision alive, and why moral decisions and meaningful living both demand that you see beyond today. Vision has no age limit — but it does require the courage to act in the present like the future depends on it.I'm looking for a reasonRoaming through the night to findMy place in this worldMy place in this worldNot a lot to lean onI need Your light to help me findMy place in this worldMy place in this world- "My Place In This World," Michael W.
