The divorce rate in the church is brutal… and even the “good Christian marriages” are often passionless, disconnected, and living like roommates.

Your marriage isn’t just suffering from communication problems. A lot of the time, it’s suffering because your faith has trained you to be safe. Polite prayers. Low-risk obedience. Zero authority. And then you come home and wonder why you feel timid, passive, bored… and why your wife can feel that void the moment you walk through the door.

In this episode, I’m going to flip over a rock you may have never considered: there’s a direct connection between how you treat Holy Spirit power (authority, miracles, boldness)… and how you show up as an attractive, confident, joy-filled husband.

When you stop living in “if it’s your will” faith—and you start living in Kingdom authority—you stop hovering like a puppy dog… and you start becoming dangerous again.

If Jesus said that faith even as small as a mustard seed could move mountains…
then why are so many of your mountains still standing?

Unfortunately, Christian husbands living the nice guy lie are told that all they need is a teeny tiny speck of faith. If that's the case...then...

Why is your marriage still stuck, your finances capped, your health unchanged, your inner world still heavy… even though you “believe” and you’ve been told that “even a tiny mustard seed of faith is enough”? In fact, many Christian husbands struggle with weak faith and stagnant growth in their marriage, finances, and personal well-being, despite believing the common teaching about tiny faith.

In this teaching, I’m going to show you something that might upset a lot of Sunday school lessons:

Jesus never talked about the small size of your faith.
He talked about the nature of it.

We’re going into the Greek, the interlinear, and the actual word Jesus used. Then we’ll look at what mustard actually does in the wild: it’s invasive, dominant, environment-transforming. And you’re going to see that the faith that moves mountains is not a cute, tiny speck… it’s an invasive, aggressive, environment-changing belief that crowds out doubt, fear, and passivity.

Once you see this, it will change:

How you pray

How you fight for your marriage

How you go after healing, provision, and breakthrough

How you interpret “unanswered” prayers in your life

And if you’re a Christian husband who’s tired of praying tiny prayers while your marriage slowly dies… this is your wake-up call. Heaven is not asking you for a polite speck of faith. Heaven is inviting you into a wildfire faith that rewires your inner world, rewrites your story, and forcefully invades the darkness and the world around you.

Stop playing the polite Christian Nice Guy role. Start becoming a masculine force to be reckoned with.

What if the distance in your marriage has nothing to do with your effort, your love, or the thousand ways you’ve been trying to “fix” it?

What if the real issue is your energy?

In today’s episode, discover the powerful three-step process that Christian husbands use to rebuild passion and attraction in their marriages, even after years of distance and disconnect. This episode focuses on spiritual growth in men and the importance of faith and masculinity in creating a confident, passionate Christian marriage. If you're struggling to attract your wife or reignite the spark in your relationship, these proven steps will help shift your energy and reignite desire quickly.

These are the same steps I teach inside my coaching programs, and if you act on them, you can feel traction within the next seven days. Yes… even after 20 years of disconnect.

Because your wife isn’t starving for niceness. She’s starving for strength, fierce fire, and for the man God designed you to be.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🔥 Step 1: Why you MUST stop every “fix-her, serve-more, love-harder” strategy
🔥 Step 2: How to shift out of puppy-dog energy and into warrior energy
🔥 Step 3: How to reintroduce loving behaviors in a way that actually creates desire

This is the exact framework that has helped men go from years without sex… to wives who initiate again. You can do this. God’s design for you is bigger, bolder, and more joyful than the story you’re living now.

If you’ve ever been told to “serve her more… sacrifice harder… be the good Christian man” — and yet your wife somehow got colder, less responsive, and less attracted — this episode is going to feel like a divine ambush.

Because the truth is brutal:

Most Christian husbands are following a model of masculinity God never designed for them. A model that strips you of desire, identity, and confidence… and turns you into a hovering, panting puppy dog instead of a grounded, fire-filled man of the Kingdom.

Today I’m exposing the Nice Guy Lie — the hidden teaching in church culture that unintentionally kills masculine polarity. We’re talking resurrecting your God-given desire, reclaiming your worth, breaking free from people-pleasing, and stepping into the strength that awakens your wife’s attraction again.

This episode is not soft. It’s not “churchy.”
It’s battle-tested truth from the trenches of my own marriage.

You don’t have to keep living small. You were made for fire, for desire, for authority — and your marriage is begging for that version of you to show up.

If the atmosphere in your home feels heavy, cold, disconnected, or spiritually attacked — today’s teaching is your turning point.

Most Christian husbands were taught to pray as beggars, not sons. To hope instead of command. To plead instead of decree. To wait on God’s will instead of standing in the authority Jesus already handed them.

But Jesus didn’t tell you to beg the mountain.
He told you to speak to it.

In this episode, I walk you step-by-step through breakthrough praying — the kind that actually moves in the real world. The kind that pushes back darkness, restores connection, ignites atmosphere, and awakens the king inside you. This is the shift from victim-prayer to kingdom-prayer.

When you start praying with authority… your wife feels it. Your home feels it. You feel it.

And if you’re ready to go deeper than prayer — into becoming a man your wife is drawn to again — the free training below is where we start.

If you’ve tried to “work on yourself” as a husband, to transform from weak to confident, and it still hasn’t stuck… and your wife still doesn't desire you...this one’s for you.

You build new habits for a week or two, white-knuckle your way through being “more patient,” “more spiritual,” “more romantic”… and then your wife’s look tells you the truth: nothing really changed. The shame hits. You try harder. It fails again.
That cycle is PAINFUL— and it is not how the Kingdom works.

In this episode I’m unpacking why self-improvement keeps Christian men stuck and how the Holy Spirit actually transforms you from the inside out — from “weak, ashamed, spinning your wheels” into a man who walks in quiet confidence, masculine presence, and supernatural power. Not a man obsessed with avoiding sin… a Word-made man who embodies the promises of God.

In this episode we cover:

Why the version of faith you inherited feels disappointing and powerless
The brutal problem with “Christian change methods” (just pray, read, avoid sin…)
The difference between behavior modification and identity overhaul
How shame slowly poisons your transformation attempts
What it means to become a “word made man” instead of a rule-keeper
How the Holy Spirit convicts you into hope, not condemnation
The simple Kingdom way to renew your mind and tap real dynamite power
How this inner transformation turns you into a confident, attractive husband

Too many Christian husbands have been discipled into hovering puppy dogs instead of dangerous, mission-driven men of God. We’ve been told “love your wife, be nice, serve more, be patient”… but nobody showed us EXACTLY how Adam lost his wife’s respect or how Song of Solomon shows a wife who can’t keep her hands off her man.

In this episode, we go deep into Genesis 2–3 and Song of Solomon to expose how Adam laid down his mission, orbitted his wife like a desperate puppy, and opened the door to the serpent. Then we contrast that with a king on mission whose bride says, “Draw me after you—let us run.” If you’ve felt like a different man at work than you are at home… if your wife feels cold, critical, or distant… this is going to punch you in the chest in the best way.

We’ll talk about how to stop obsessively hovering around your wife, reclaim your God-given mission, rebuild her respect, and invite her back into your chambers as a confident, grounded, masculine husband. Not by getting louder or harsher—but by becoming a man who is validated by God, rooted in identity, and willing to set boundaries and lead.

In this episode of the Man Warrior King podcast, host Matt Hallock explores how the desire to please God can accidentally lead to passivity in marriage.

He also discusses practical steps for change and highlights resources available for men seeking transformation.
