In this episode, I host our guest David Dusek, about the challenges men face in today’s society, including the parallel between military and spiritual battles. We explore the concept of an enemy targeting men and underscore the necessity for awareness and vigilance. The conversation delves into the significance of leadership, the perils of isolation, and the need for leaders to have dependable friends to maintain a healthy work-life balance. David Dusek emphasizes personal experiences and the value of creating genuine connections through shared experiences to combat these issues. The discussion also touches on redefining accountability within the church and fostering relationships based on trust.

Why should you listen to what David Dusek has to say? His mission is to encourage and equip men to live their lives for Christ. He uses his life experiences – including his upbringing in a non-Christian home, coming to Christ as an adult, and an extensive business background – to reach men in a way that they can understand.  David’s vision is to engage all men where they are the “other six days of the week”—not just in church.
