Episode 2: 'Our comfort is not God’s priority'
Playback speed
Alright, so saying 'man up' isn't helpful and boys should feel encouraged to cry. I get that. But aside from being more vulnerable, how else should we handle our emotions?
In this episode I speak to James Ray, founder of the Xtreme Character Challenge, about the balance between vulnerability and resilience, letting out some 'grunt', and why our comfort is not God's priority.

Episode 3: Did Jesus have banter?
In this week’s episode I chat with comedians Paul Kerensa and Andy Kind about cracking wise. The Bible’s not exactly stacked with laugh-out-loud moments, so what role does humour have to play in our faith? Is there a ‘Christian’ boundary when it comes to comedy? And did Jesus ever take the mick out of his mates?
Episode 4: I'm scared of being a dad...
I sit down with father of six (!) Harry Benson and dad of three boys, Sam Miller, to talk about whether you can ever really prepare for the chaos of fatherhood — and what it means to raise Men Like Jesus in the age of social media, Andrew Tate, and deconstructed masculinity.
Episode 5: Bulk in Jesus' name
On this week's episode I chat with Matthew Headden, a US army veteran and fitness coach helping “Christians thrive physically as God intended”. Matthew shares how one prayer pulled him out of addiction, why he believes ultra-processed food is a weapon of the enemy, and what it means to be a Man Like Jesus when it comes to our fitness and physicality.
