Season 4, Episode 26 of the Men of Valor Podcast confronts the reality most men try to avoid—the true cost of standing firm. Host Eric Stewart is joined by Josh Dove from Georgia, a man who has been tested, refined, and proven through both hardship and conviction. In this episode, “The Cost of Conviction,” Josh shares what it means to live unashamed as a follower of Jesus - even when the cost seems to high and the desire to compromise is constant.

As a survivor, a fighter, a devoted husband, and a servant-leader in his church, he brings a raw and grounded perspective that calls men to something deeper than comfort—he calls them to conviction. This conversation doesn’t glorify ease; it honors endurance. It challenges men to count the cost, to stand their ground, and to live with a boldness that refuses to bend while still reflecting the heart of Christ. If you’re ready to move beyond passive belief and into active, costly obedience, you'll be glad you tuned in!~

Season 4, Episode 22 brings a grounded, practical, and deeply needed conversation as Eric Stewart sits down with fellow MOV Executive Travis Watson to tackle the theme of sexual integrity with this week’s topic: “Setting Practical Boundaries.” Travis doesn’t speak as a theorist—he speaks as a man who has lived through sexual brokenness, addiction, and the long road of rebuilding strength and freedom. Together, Eric and Travis strip away the shame and confusion that keep men passive, and they get honest about what real boundaries look like in the life of a man who wants to walk in purity.

This isn’t about fear‑based rules or white‑knuckling; it’s about building guardrails that protect your mind, your marriage, your calling, and your worship. With bold transparency and brother‑to‑brother clarity, they unpack how boundaries create space for freedom, not restriction—and why every man who wants to stay free must be willing to take practical steps long before temptation shows up.
