Why Christian Men Struggle To Make Friends

Christian men are showing up to church, serving, leading — but still feeling deeply alone. In this raw episode, we unpack why so many God-fearing men don’t have real friends anymore — the kind who challenge you, pray for you, and stick around when life falls apart. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Where are the brothers who really get me?” — this is the video you’ve been needing. 🔥 What You’ll Hear: The hidden epidemic of Christian male loneliness Why “manly faith” often means silent suffering The difference between surface fellowship and soul-level brotherhood How to become the kind of friend you wish you had This isn’t about blaming the church. It’s about breaking cycles and building something better — together. 👇 Drop a comment: Do you have a Christian brother you can be 100% real with?

Why You Shouldn’t Cry in Front of Your Kids 😢

We discuss the importance of allowing ourselves to feel vulnerable, but emphasize the need to be selective in who we share that vulnerability with. We suggest keeping it within close, trusted relationships and avoiding exposing it to our children, as that can impact their emotional development.

Marriage, Submission & God’s Timing | A Faith-Fueled Conversation We’re back — and diving straight into one of the most misunderstood topics in modern relationships: submission in marriage. In this powerful episode, we open up about our personal journey, the role of faith in content creation, and what it really means to live out Proverbs 31 in today’s world. This isn’t your typical church conversation. We explore how God’s timing, communication, forgiveness, and unconditional love shape a truly God-centered relationship. Whether you're single, engaged, or married, this episode challenges the norms and brings the real talk back to where it belongs — the church. 🔥 Key Takeaways: Marriage vows are sacred — don’t say them lightly. Submission isn't weakness — it’s about mutual respect and alignment with God. Healing is necessary before new beginnings. Love and communication go hand in hand. Authenticity matters — we need real conversations in our churches. Forgiveness and prayer are essential tools for lasting relationships. We also break down the traits of a virtuous woman, what respect really looks like in marriage, and why God’s design for relationships still stands strong today. 💬 "You have to heal before you introduce someone else." 💬 "True love is without the sin." 💬 "Love covers everything — but respect holds it together." 📖 Whether you're doing a Bible study, preparing for marriage, or simply seeking personal growth in your faith walk, this episode is for you. ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe, comment your thoughts, and share with someone who needs this message today. #ChristianMarriage #FaithAndRelationships #Proverbs31Woman #GodlyMarriage #SubmissionAndRespect #LoveAndForgiveness #BiblicalWomanhood #MarriageGodsWay Chapters 00:00 Welcome Back and Personal Updates 11:02 The Intersection of Faith and Content Creation 11:28 Understanding Submissiveness in Marriage 24:17 The Role of a Virtuous Woman 35:13 The Importance of Godly Relationships 40:35 The Sacredness of Marriage Vows 41:42 Understanding God's Timing in Relationships 42:53 The Importance of Respect and Submission 44:35 Love, Respect, and the Dynamics of Marriage 46:03 The Role of Love in Marriage 48:17 Conflict Resolution and Communication in Marriage 51:44 The Importance of Forgiveness and Trust 54:07 Learning from Mistakes in Marriage 56:23 The Role of God in Marriage 58:36 Healing and Moving Forward in Relationships 01:00:46 The Power of Effective Communication 01:02:02 The Virtuous Woman and Her Impact 01:03:14 Living by Biblical Standards in Marriage 01:05:19 Unconditional Love and Prayer in Difficult Times 01:07:45 The Consequences of Sin in Relationships 01:09:01 The Need for Authentic Conversations in the Church 01:11:22 Encouragement and Support for Struggling Marriages Connect with @MediocreDadsPodcast 🌐www.mediocredads.net 📧Business Inquiries: mediocredads2@gmail.com ☕ Buy Me A Coffee 👕 Elevated Faith 🎩 Dad Gang / QUEON21848 🎶⁠Bizzy Cardoza on Apple Music⁠ Social Links: Website https://www.mediocredads.net/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediocre_dads/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ X https://www.x.com/mediocre_dads YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@MediocreDadsPodcast Spotify https://www.open.spotify.com/show/3vHRtqyvNHdZhtQoOlzBdD?si=defb44f21ab14005 Rumble https://www.rumble.com/c/c-2576414 Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/MediocreDads Connect with Coffee with Minster Boggan 'MB' 📚 How Did We Get Here and What Does God Say About It?

I Felt Like I Was Failing—Until God Reminded Me Who I Am

Title: The Realities of Fatherhood: Facing Giants with Faith In this powerful episode, we explore the unspoken pressure of fatherhood, the silent battle with mental health, and the spiritual journey every dad must face. Using the story of David and Goliath, we unpack how faith and perspective help us confront life’s giants—both external and internal. “God hasn't changed. We did.” We’re not called to be perfect dads. We’re called to be faithful ones. From the illusion of being a “cool parent” to the emotional weight of inadequacy, this is a deep, honest look at what modern fatherhood really requires—and what God has already promised. 🔑 What You’ll Hear: Why being your child’s parent, not their friend, matters The power of a child’s love to restore your confidence How the David and Goliath story still applies to modern dads The overlooked crisis of men’s mental health How to find real purpose in parenting 📖 Chapters 00:00 Perception of Fatherhood 03:48 The Pressure of Parenting 06:28 David and Goliath: A Biblical Perspective 11:49 Confidence in God 17:39 Facing Giants in Life 22:46 The Role of Faith 28:09 Mental Health Awareness for Men 33:55 Finding Purpose as a Father 🔔 Subscribe for more content on fatherhood, faith, and overcoming life’s toughest battles: → https://www.youtube.com/@MediocreDadsPodcast #fatherhood #DavidAndGoliath #faith #mentalhealth #parenting #menshealth #confidence #christiandads #purpose #giantsinlife #mediocredads Connect with Mediocre Dads 🌐www.mediocredads.net 📧Business Inquiries: mediocredads2@gmail.com ☕ Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/mediocredads 👕 Elevated Faith: https://bit.ly/3SNgXQ5 🎩 Dad Gang: Code (QUEON21848) 🎶⁠Bizzy Cardoza on Apple Music⁠ Social Links: Website https://www.mediocredads.net/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mediocre_dads/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ X https://www.x.com/mediocre_dads YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@MediocreDadsPodcast Spotify https://www.open.spotify.com/show/3vHRtqyvNHdZhtQoOlzBdD?si=defb44f21ab14005 Rumble https://www.rumble.com/c/c-2576414 Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/MediocreDads DISCLAIMER: This video and description contain affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you click on one of the product links.
