Get connected outside the room. Luke's men's ministry has about 40 men engaged in its activities and several hundred men of the church who aren't, so he is moving away from event men's ministry.

At a young pastor's ordination, Adrian asked who was investing in him, then pushed further: what has he told you that you didn't like to hear, and how did you handle it?</p><p>3. Where you have failed and grieved is where you can help. Adrian's backslide and the loss of his father are what let him sit across from a man in the same place.

But her house? &lt;b&gt;It’s a grave.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This conversation challenges men to &lt;b&gt;recognize deception&lt;/b&gt;, walk in &lt;b&gt;discernment&lt;/b&gt;, and choose the &lt;b&gt;discipline of wisdom&lt;/b&gt;over the ease of destruction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧠 &lt;b&gt;Key Takeaways&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ✔️ Growth often begins with surrender&lt;br /&gt; ✔️ Some things must be torn down for God to rebuild&lt;br /&gt; ✔️ Trusting God&apos;s timing leads to deeper healing&lt;br /&gt; ✔️ Effectiveness &amp;gt; Efficiency in spiritual life&lt;br /&gt; ✔️ You’re not stuck—you’re being shaped&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📖 &lt;em&gt;“There is a time to break down, and a time to build up...” — Ecclesiastes 3:3&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📌 Connect with Men After God:&lt;br /&gt; 🌍 Website: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.menaftergod.net/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.menaftergod.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📺 YouTube: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📷 Instagram: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;👥 Join Our Community: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🛒 Get MAG Merch: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;💙 Support Us: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:18:25</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/podcasts/92f23ea7-8407-4f27-be4e-ca81cbdc138f/logos/965908a8-873d-4429-896e-0bcf01cb5882.jpeg"/><itunes:episode>136</itunes:episode><itunes:title>Deadly Invitations: When Folly Looks Like Freedom</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why You Struggle to Read the Bible (And How to Fix It)]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode of <em>Men After God</em>, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into one of the most essential—but often overlooked—spiritual disciplines: <b>Bible reading</b>.</p><p>Together, they unpack the <b>real-life struggles</b> Christian men face when it comes to engaging with God’s Word—like <b>time constraints</b>, <b>distractions</b>, <b>shame</b>, and even <b>imposter syndrome</b>.

He met his wife while in Bible college and they have been married for 17 years. Stephen has been serving at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Connecticut for 9 years, overseeing young adults, seniors, missions, and church care. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people who can provide insight and support.

Michael unpacks the wisdom of Solomon, highlighting how the allure of sin often disguises its devastating consequences.

Reaching out to celebrities with the gospel is important, as they have a significant influence on society.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Proper discipleship and support are crucial for new believers, including celebrities, to grow in their faith.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The negative perception of Christianity in Hollywood can be countered by showing love and respect to celebrities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Join the Mission program allows people to support Dylan&apos;s ministry and reach celebrities with the gospel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Chapters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;:30 Introduction: Dylan Novak&apos;s Unique Ministry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1:25 Family and Personal Journey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;13:59 Impactful Interactions with Celebrities&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;19:37 Challenges and Lessons Learned&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20:44 Introduction and the Importance of Reaching Celebrities&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;22:01 Encounter with Doug Bradley and the Power of God&apos;s Plan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;23:25 The Importance of Discipleship and Support for New Believers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;24:50 Countering the Negative Perception of Christianity in Hollywood&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;29:53 The Need for Proper Discipleship and Facts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;33:26 The Real Evil in Hollywood and the Response of Christians&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;37:19 Join the Mission: Supporting Dylan Novak&apos;s Ministry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📌 Connect with Men After God:&lt;br /&gt; 🌍 Website: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.menaftergod.net/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.menaftergod.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📺 YouTube: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📷 Instagram: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;👥 Join Our Community: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🛒 Get MAG Merch: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;💙 Support Us: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:41:15</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/podcasts/92f23ea7-8407-4f27-be4e-ca81cbdc138f/logos/965908a8-873d-4429-896e-0bcf01cb5882.jpeg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>58</itunes:episode><itunes:title>Evangelist to the Stars</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faithful Pursuit and Perseverance]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Title: Episode 16 – <b>Faithful Pursuit and Perseverance With Guest Todd Huff</b></p><p>-----</p><p>Join Dustin as he interviews Todd Huff of “The Todd Huff Show” on his rise from a late night conservative talk show host to working on syndication and having a prime morning political talk show.

They discuss the importance of &lt;b&gt;emotional availability&lt;/b&gt;, the role of &lt;b&gt;grief and lament&lt;/b&gt;, and how the &lt;b&gt;Gospel offers hope&lt;/b&gt; for even the deepest wounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This episode is for every man who’s carrying unspoken pain, and for every leader, pastor, or friend seeking to understand how to walk with men through the &lt;b&gt;journey of spiritual and emotional healing&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🧭&lt;b&gt; Key Takeaways:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ Trauma isn’t just emotional—it affects the whole person&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ The Gospel doesn’t ignore your pain—it redeems it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ Grief is a necessary part of healing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️ Men need emotional safety and spiritual truth&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;✔️Ministry leaders must lead with empathy and understanding&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;🕐 Time Stamps:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2:51 Understanding Trauma: Definitions and Perspectives&lt;br /&gt;10:19 The Impact of Trauma on Personal Growth&lt;br /&gt;14:55 Emotional Responses and Healing&lt;br /&gt;21:54 The Role of Grief and Witnessing in Healing&lt;br /&gt;32:23 Biblical Insights on Brokenness and Healing&lt;br /&gt;32:37 Understanding Trauma and the Heart&lt;br /&gt;37:05 The Neuroscience of Emotional Responses&lt;br /&gt;45:41 De-escalation Techniques in Conflict&lt;br /&gt;52:11 Healing Through the Gospel and Acknowledging Trauma&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📌 Connect with Men After God:&lt;br /&gt; 🌍 Website: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.menaftergod.net/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.menaftergod.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📺 YouTube: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📷 Instagram: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;👥 Join Our Community: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🛒 Get MAG Merch: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;💙 Support Us: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>01:02:18</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/imports/podcasts/92f23ea7-8407-4f27-be4e-ca81cbdc138f/episodes/c39b1bc9-0995-4088-a69b-24b2ca50bca7/mhd2ordp7v9jdetp7ewc0qqvvtry.jpg"/><itunes:episode>153</itunes:episode><itunes:title>Men, Trauma and the Gospel: Spiritual Healing Begins With Jesus</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gone Bananas For Jesus]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Episode 33 – <b>Gone Bananas For Jesus With Guest Bill LeRoy</b></p><p>Summary:</p><p>Join Dustin as he talks with Bill LeRoy, the catcher for the Savannah Bananas, and talk about growing up in a Christian family and how his faith has influenced his sports career.

of Faith, Fatherhood and Forgiveness]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Men After God podcast, host Luke Sorenson sits down with Jason Tester for a powerful conversation on the true nature of forgiveness.<br /><br />Jason reminds us that forgiveness isn’t something we muster up on our own — it is a gift from God, made possible through Jesus, not through our own strength, feelings, or willpower.<br /><br />Together, Luke and Jason explore:<br />- Why forgiveness is spiritually impossible without Christ<br />- The internal battle between our flesh and the Spirit<br />- Why your feelings aren’t the foundation of forgiveness<br />- How God empowers us to forgive what we could never let go of alone<br /><br />If you've ever struggled to forgive someone who hurt you, battled resentment, or felt like you just can’t move on, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a path forward rooted in the gospel, not self-effort.<br /><br />🧭 Key Takeaways<br />-Forgiveness comes from Jesus, not from our feelings.<br />-The ability to forgive is a divine gift.<br />-True forgiveness is a reflection of Jesus's love.</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer

Fear, Embracing Abundance, and Transforming Leadership]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Men After God podcast, host Luke Sorensen interviews Kevin Elworth, a speaker and author who shares his journey from ministry to leadership development. Kevin discusses the importance of overcoming fear, the necessity of honest self-reflection, and the detrimental effects of the phrase 'I can't.' He emphasizes the need for a mindset shift towards empowerment and the value of coaching in personal growth. The conversation also touches on the often overlooked concept of the poverty gospel in contrast to the prosperity gospel. In this conversation, Luke Sorensen and Kevin Elworth explore the relationship between poverty, spirituality, and abundance. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding financial struggles and spiritual fulfillment, emphasizing that true abundance is a mindset rather than a financial status. The dialogue shifts to the importance of asking the right questions and seeking financial freedom to better serve in ministry. They also address the difference between living by faith and living foolishly, encouraging listeners to overcome limiting beliefs and embrace a mindset of possibility. The conversation concludes with a call to action for churches to engage their communities and foster a culture of discipleship.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>2:01 Kevin's Journey: From Ministry to Leadership Development</p><p>5:31 Overcoming Fear: A Personal Testimony</p><p>12:57 The Importance of Honest Self-Reflection</p><p>17:39 Breaking the 'I Can't' Cycle</p><p>26:12 Challenging the Poverty Gospel</p><p>27:06 Understanding Poverty and Spirituality</p><p>28:36 The Quest for Abundance</p><p>31:11 Mindset Shift: Abundance vs. Scarcity</p><p>33:19 Financial Freedom and Ministry</p><p>37:26 Living by Faith vs. Foolishness</p><p>41:54 Overcoming the 'I Can't' Mentality<br /><br /><br />Connect With Kevin:</p><p> <a href="https://www.kevinelworth.live/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.kevinelworth.live/</a><br /><br /></p><p>Connect With Men After God:</p><p>Website <a href="http://www.menaftergod.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.menaftergod.net</a>  </p><p>YouTube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316</a></p><p>Follow Us </p><p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/menaftergodpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.Facebook.com/menaftergodpodcast</a></p><p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod</a></p><p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/menaftergodpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.twitter.com/menaftergodpodcast</a></p><p><a href="http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod</a></p><p>Snag some MAG Merch <a href="http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod</a></p><p>Support us on Patreon! <a href="http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.Patreon.com/MenAfterGod</a></p><p>Join our MAG Community for more encouragement <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod</a></p><p>If you have enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast wherever you are listening.

Tom shares his personal journey of faith and how he discovered the importance of integrating his faith into his career. He discusses the challenges of living out one's faith in the workplace and offers practical advice for men at different stages of their careers. Tom emphasizes the need to make room for faith at work, to build on one's strengths, and to give oneself grace. He also provides resources and organizations that can support men in their journey of integrating faith and work.<br /><br />Tom's book-https://a.co/d/2rpgIuL<br /><br />Chapters<br /><br />00:00 Introduction and Background<br />04:41 Tom's Career in Communications and Marketing<br />07:40 Challenges of Living Out Faith in the Workplace<br />12:03 Identity and Finding Purpose in Work<br />18:44 Practical Ways to Show the Light of Christ in the Workplace<br />24:34 Tom's Book and Future Plans<br />31:42 Conclusion and Call to Action<br /><br /><br />On this episode of Men After God, I had a great conversation with</p><p>my guest Tom C. Petersen about the challenges of living out our</p><p>faith at work, ensuring that we bring our whole selves to work. We</p><p>talked about how to shine the light of Jesus in the workplace. To</p><p>help you dig deeper, Tom provided a few questions to help you</p><p>think through this topic. I pray that as you think through these, they</p><p>help spotlight how you think about being an effective Man After</p><p>God.</p><p>· What kind of expectations do you have about your work? Do you tend to have high</p><p>expectations, or low expectations? Do these expectations tend to be met, or do</p><p>they fall short? How do you react to that?</p><p>· How do you see your work through the lens of your faith? How do your work and</p><p>your faith align? How do they differ?</p><p>· Do you tend to compartmentalize your faith from your work, or other parts of your</p><p>life? How do you help ensure your faith and work are integrated?</p><p>· Are there particular elements of your job that you feel are especially challenging to</p><p>your faith? How do you reconcile the two?</p><p>· Living our faith at work is more than trying to baptize people at the water cooler.</p><p>How do you live out your faith at work?</p><p>· Do you think other people think of you as a Christian? What do you think shapes</p><p>their perception of your faith?

Tom shares his personal journey of faith and how he discovered the importance of integrating his faith into his career. He discusses the challenges of living out one&apos;s faith in the workplace and offers practical advice for men at different stages of their careers. Tom emphasizes the need to make room for faith at work, to build on one&apos;s strengths, and to give oneself grace. He also provides resources and organizations that can support men in their journey of integrating faith and work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom&apos;s book-https://a.co/d/2rpgIuL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;00:00 Introduction and Background&lt;br /&gt;04:41 Tom&apos;s Career in Communications and Marketing&lt;br /&gt;07:40 Challenges of Living Out Faith in the Workplace&lt;br /&gt;12:03 Identity and Finding Purpose in Work&lt;br /&gt;18:44 Practical Ways to Show the Light of Christ in the Workplace&lt;br /&gt;24:34 Tom&apos;s Book and Future Plans&lt;br /&gt;31:42 Conclusion and Call to Action&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this episode of Men After God, I had a great conversation with&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;my guest Tom C. Petersen about the challenges of living out our&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;faith at work, ensuring that we bring our whole selves to work. We&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;talked about how to shine the light of Jesus in the workplace. To&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;help you dig deeper, Tom provided a few questions to help you&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;think through this topic. I pray that as you think through these, they&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;help spotlight how you think about being an effective Man After&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· What kind of expectations do you have about your work? Do you tend to have high&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;expectations, or low expectations? Do these expectations tend to be met, or do&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they fall short? How do you react to that?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· How do you see your work through the lens of your faith? How do your work and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your faith align? How do they differ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· Do you tend to compartmentalize your faith from your work, or other parts of your&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;life? How do you help ensure your faith and work are integrated?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· Are there particular elements of your job that you feel are especially challenging to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;your faith? How do you reconcile the two?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· Living our faith at work is more than trying to baptize people at the water cooler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How do you live out your faith at work?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· Do you think other people think of you as a Christian? What do you think shapes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;their perception of your faith? Are there things you do, or say, or items in your&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;workspace that point to your faith?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· How do you think about sharing your faith with others at work? What comes to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;mind? What discourages you from sharing your faith? What encourages you to&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;share with others?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;· How hard is it to give yourself grace when you don’t meet your own expectations?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot; href=&quot;https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod&quot;&gt;Support the show&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📌 Connect with Men After God:&lt;br /&gt; 🌍 Website: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.menaftergod.net/&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.menaftergod.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📺 YouTube: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;📷 Instagram: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;👥 Join Our Community: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;facebook.com/groups/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🛒 Get MAG Merch: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;💙 Support Us: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow&quot;&gt;www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:duration>00:33:21</itunes:duration><itunes:image href="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/podcasts/92f23ea7-8407-4f27-be4e-ca81cbdc138f/logos/965908a8-873d-4429-896e-0bcf01cb5882.jpeg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>64</itunes:episode><itunes:title>Keeping Christ in the Workplace</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title><![CDATA[Breaking the Lies Men Believe: Shame, Identity, and Freedom in Christ]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>In today's episode of the <em>Men After God</em> podcast, host <b>Luke Sorensen</b> takes a deep dive into the realities of <b>trauma, shame, and identity</b> through a biblical lens.
