Episode 7: What makes Jesus a man?

In this wide-reaching conversation, I chat with popular YouTuber and author Mark Ballenger about emotional boundaries, why you should be more cautious about saying 'I love you', and what qualities make Jesus a man.

Why are men struggling with friendship, and what can we do to build stronger bonds? Join me as I chat with Birmingham's best friends, Will and Joe, about balancing humour with heartfelt discussions, asking better questions, and having Jesus as a ‘mutual friend’.

Episode 5: Bulk in Jesus' name

On this week's episode I chat with Matthew Headden, a US army veteran and fitness coach helping “Christians thrive physically as God intended”. Matthew shares how one prayer pulled him out of addiction, why he believes ultra-processed food is a weapon of the enemy, and what it means to be a Man Like Jesus when it comes to our fitness and physicality.

Episode 4: I'm scared of being a dad...

I sit down with father of six (!) Harry Benson and dad of three boys, Sam Miller, to talk about whether you can ever really prepare for the chaos of fatherhood — and what it means to raise Men Like Jesus in the age of social media, Andrew Tate, and deconstructed masculinity.

Episode 3: Did Jesus have banter?

21 May 2025

In this week’s episode I chat with comedians Paul Kerensa and Andy Kind about cracking wise. The Bible’s not exactly stacked with laugh-out-loud moments, so what role does humour have to play in our faith? Is there a ‘Christian’ boundary when it comes to comedy? And did Jesus ever take the mick out of his mates?

Episode 2: 'Our comfort is not God’s priority'

Alright, so saying 'man up' isn't helpful and boys should feel encouraged to cry. I get that. But aside from being more vulnerable, how else should we handle our emotions? In this episode I speak to James Ray, founder of the Xtreme Character Challenge, about the balance between vulnerability and resilience, letting out some 'grunt', and why our comfort is not God's priority.

Episode 1: Hopeless and Romantic

Pride, passivity and poor boundaries. When it comes to dating and relationships, I've had my fair share of mess-ups. But looking to the Bible doesn't pull up any obvious answers about how I should fix this. Jesus never had a girlfriend, and there aren't any specific verses about finding The One or getting out of the friendzone. In this episode, I chat to relationship experts, dating show hosts, and the man behind the Love Languages to ask...how do we become a Man Like Jesus in our relationships?
