In the latest episode of The Exploring More Podcast, hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings wrap up their discussion on the current state of masculinity, diving deeper into the hope for men today. Building on the entirety of the series and the season, where they explored the importance of recognizing what’s at play, how it is affecting you, and partnering with God to get your heart back, this episode takes listeners into a wrap up of all of that and the importance of self-examination and introspection. Michael and SJ paint a compelling picture of what it looks like when men who are fully oriented—those who are in tune with God's work in their lives—come together to see masculinity redeemed. They envision men who are not just passive participants but active partners with God in the pursuit of a life filled with meaning and More. Throughout this episode, Michael and SJ emphasize that awareness isn’t healing. They encourage listeners that this will be a journey of finding the symptoms, treating the diagnosis, and walking through healing with other men. By fostering a community of oriented men, they believe that the landscape of masculinity can undergo a radical transformation, leading to the redemption of generational masculinity and a future where men live with greater purpose, strength, and connection.

In the latest episode of The Exploring More Podcast, hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings tackle a profound and challenging question: What are the odds that you have truly interpreted your life correctly? Building on their previous conversation about biblical masculinity—what it is, and what it should ideally look like—this episode delves into even deeper territory, examining how our understanding of our own lives shapes our perceptions of God and, consequently, of ourselves. Michael and SJ open up a thought-provoking dialogue on the ways in which our life interpretations, often flawed and distorted by personal pain and misjudgments, have led to significant wounds in our spiritual and emotional lives. These wounds, they suggest, are often at the root of the "false self" that many men struggle with—the version of ourselves that we present to the world, which is often a far cry from the person God sees and knows us to be. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the importance of walking with God as a path to healing and restoration. They encourage listeners to take a closer look at the stories they tell themselves about who they are and where they come from, and to consider how these narratives may be influenced by past hurts or misconceptions. By doing so, they argue, we can begin to dismantle the false self and move closer to the true identity that God has intended for us all along.
