Ep 872REBOOT: Becoming the Man the World Needs w/ Brant Hansen EP 872
This is a reboot of a past episode #639 of the Men in the Arena Podcast. The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). This week, radio host and author Brant Hansen joins Jim Ramos to discuss his book The Men We Need: God's Purpose for the Manly Man, the Avid Indoorsman, or Any Man Willing to Show Up and provide you with a specific, actionable picture of what God created you to be as a man - a "Keeper of the Garden" - and what that means for you today.

Ep 869The Most Misunderstood Words in the Church: Mercy, Grace, Judgment & Wrath – Message at the MAG EP 869
Are you dishing out judgment when you should be offering mercy? Is your version of justice undermining God's grace? In this week's message, Pastor Jim Ramos delves into mercy, grace, judgment, and wrath. If you don't understand these principles, you're fumbling the fundamentals of the Christian life. These aren't just theological buzzwords—they determine how you lead, love, and respond when it counts. It's time to stop defaulting to wrath and judgment, and start choosing the power of grace and mercy. (Check out Weldon Hardenbrook's 'Missing from Action' which was mentioned in this message!)

Jesus calls us men to walk a powerful paradox—bold in truth, but gentle in spirit. In this week's message, Pastor Jim Ramos breaks down what it looks like to be a tactical, discerning noticer of people without losing the humility and purity that makes the gospel irresistible.

Ep 864Dad Bod to God Bod: 6 Rules + 7 Steps – Equipping Men in Ten EP 864
The "dad bod" is just another lie the world sold you. The Bible instructs us to treat our bodies as a living temple — but for many of us, it's a ticking time bomb. In this week's 10-minute equipping episode, Pastor Jim Ramos discusses why the dad bod is not biblical, not healthy, and not sustainable if you want to lead well, live long, and finish strong. Men, reject the soft lies of comfort culture, embrace discipline, and steward your bodies with purpose.

Ep 863How Wives Speak Life: Powerful Words That Build or Destroy Men w/ Dave and Ann Wilson EP 863
What if the secret to your success as a husband starts with what your wife says—and what you don't say? Your wife's words may be slowly breaking you and she probably doesn't even know it. In this week's expert interview, Jim Ramos is joined by the hosts of FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson. They get brutally honest about the real battles that rage inside marriage—especially the ones we don't see.

Ep 861The Dangerous Men 'Coaching' Christian Men Online: Who Should You Follow? – Equipping Men in Ten EP 861
Are you blindly following the wrong leaders? Could you be letting unqualified voices shape your soul? In this week's 10-minute equipping episode, Pastor Jim Ramos exposes the trend of self-proclaimed "coaches" flooding the internet with no real accountability or biblical backbone. Too many men are allowing themselves to be discipled by leaders who wouldn't last five minutes under the biblical qualifications of 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 ('Dialed In'). If you want to be a man who leads with strength, integrity, and unwavering faith, you need to know WHO you're letting disciple you.

In this week's expert interview, Jim Ramos is joined by Justin Brierley, host of the groundbreaking Unbelievable? podcast, to dive deep into the raw truth about faith, doubt, and the rising tide of young men reclaiming Christianity.

Ep 849How God Redeemed Our Marriage (the Full Story) w/ The Rudans EP 849
Is it possible for one encounter with Jesus to restore a marriage and change generations? If you're struggling in your relationship, praying for your spouse, or just need a reminder of God's ability to turn things around, this testimony will encourage you. In today's conversation on The Men in the Arena Podcast, Pastor Jim Ramos sits down with Adnan Rudan and his wife Kristy for a first-of-its-kind, in-studio Hero Story. Adnan opens up about how surrendering to Jesus flipped the script on his life, saved his marriage, and changed the trajectory of his entire family — with help from Men in the Arena.
