UNLEASHED Episode #90 – Learning to Fly Again In this heartfelt episode of Unleashed, Brent shares a raw and honest look at what happens when we spend our lives trapped in the exhausting cycle of performance—trying to earn love, outrun shame, and hide our brokenness. He opens up about a recent moment when he realized he’d lost sight of his "why," and how living to meet expectations had left him empty, anxious, and disconnected from the freedom Christ offers. Through personal stories of fear, failure, and hiding—including the early days of his relationship with his wife, Stacy—Brent paints a picture of how the relentless need to prove ourselves—not only to others, to ourselves, but even to God—slowly drains the life out of us, leaving us exhausted, insecure, and disconnected from the freedom we were created to live in. But there’s hope. When we finally let go of the pressure to measure up and step into the grace of God, something incredible happens: our broken wings begin to heal, and we learn to fly again.If you're tired of carrying the weight of shame, fear, and performance, this episode will remind you that freedom isn't something you earn—it’s already yours in Christ.

In a world where political debates sound more like cage matches than conversations, many have traded compassion for control and relationships for the rush of being “right.” In this episode of UNLEASHED: Sacrificing Relationships on the Altar of Politics, we unpack how anger, shouting, and social media battles are tearing families, friendships, and communities apart.When did disagreement become a license to demean? Why are we shouting over each other instead of listening? The Bible calls us to a different way — one rooted in humility, wisdom, and love.Tension in a conversation isn’t the problem — it can actually be healthy. But only if we learn how to communicate with curiosity instead of contempt. Everyone’s story matters. Everyone’s experiences shape how and why they see the world the way they do.We’ll explore how social media has become the UFC of political fighting, how it's destroying relationships, We'll discuss why better listening could change everything and how to do that in a politically charged environment. We can reclaim meaningful dialogue without sacrificing the people who matter most.

Too many men let their past define them—whether it’s childhood wounds, failures, or shame. In this episode, I share my own journey—from being bullied as a kid to facing failures as an adult—and how those experiences now drive me to help men reengage instead of running away. Just like Simba in The Lion King, we can get lost in lies and forget who we truly are. But here’s the truth—Simba was the child of a king, and so are we. It’s time to stop believing the enemy’s lies and step into the identity God has given you. 💪🦁#UnleashedPodcast #RememberWhoYouAre #IdentityInChrist #MenOfGod #UnleashedMen #TheBig5Mankillers
