What does real strength look like when something powerful is happening inside you?

In this episode of the Quit You Like Men series, Jonathan Kindler explores what Scripture teaches about emotion, anger, tenderness, and self-control—and why biblical strength is neither shutting down nor being ruled by whatever you feel. Looking to the example of Jesus as both the Lion and the Lamb, Jonathan examines what it means to feel deeply while bringing your entire inner life under the authority of Christ.

Blending scripture, personal stories, counseling insight, and practical reflection, this episode explores anger as a signal, the difference between emotion and obedience, how to sit with someone else's pain without immediately trying to fix it, and why another person's sin never has to determine your response.

A strong man is not a man who feels less. He is a man who can be honest about what is happening inside him, test it by truth, and faithfully ask: What does Christ require from me now?

Can you tell yourself no?

In this episode of the Quit You Like Men series, Jonathan Kindler explores what it means for a man to rule his own spirit before trying to lead anyone else. Blending scripture, humor, personal stories, and practical examples, this episode looks at the space between desire and action—and why wanting something doesn’t mean it should automatically get the final vote.

From anger and appetite to comfort, lust, ego, and even discipline itself, Jonathan challenges men to consider what is actually governing them. Drawing from Proverbs 16:32, Proverbs 25:28, Galatians 5, and other passages, he explores biblical self-control not as white-knuckled toughness, but as a life increasingly brought under the authority of Christ through the Spirit.

Whether you're fighting a serious temptation or simply realizing how often your moods and appetites make your decisions for you, this episode is a call to build some walls, create some distance, and practice saying no.

Not to prove how strong you are.

So you can be free to tell God yes.

What if the things filling our lives are only imitations of what we were actually made for?

In this episode of the Quit You Like Men series, Jonathan Kindler explores the counterfeits that can quietly capture a man’s attention-pornography, gaming, gambling, endless content, productivity, and even good things that slowly begin replacing better ones. Blending scripture, cultural research, and personal reflection, this episode looks at how men can stay busy, entertained, and stimulated while slowly falling asleep to the life God has actually given them.

Whether you’ve been distracted, escaping, or simply filling every available margin, this episode is a call to wake up. To pay attention. To recognize what you’ve stopped tending and come back to your actual life.

What does it actually mean to be a man?

In this opening episode of the Quit You Like Men series, Jonathan Kindler explores the biblical call to courage, strength, responsibility, and love. Beginning with 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, Jonathan unpacks the strange but powerful phrase “quit you like men” and asks what kind of strength God actually calls men to carry.

Blending scripture, storytelling, and personal reflection, this episode looks at two ways men can get lost: passivity that refuses responsibility and strength that turns into control. Biblical manhood offers something different—strength submitted to God and used for the good of others.

Whether you’ve been checking out, trying to prove yourself, or carrying strength in the wrong direction, this episode is a call to wake up. To stand fast. To take responsibility. To follow Christ.
