Episode 114: Healing Heart(s)

What a rough September it's already been. We've had school shootings and deaths, we've seen someone stabbed to death on a subway, and many of us know who Charlie Kirk is and that he is now with our LORD.

In this episode of Unleashed, Kevin sits down with a special guest to wrestle with one of the most sobering questions of our faith: what does it truly mean to be a truth teller? If speaking the truth costs us everything—our reputation, our comfort, even our lives—are we still willing to s...

Episode 112: Unleashed Heart

What does it really mean to be unleashed?

It’s not just about breaking free from the Big 5 Mankillers—lack of purpose, lack of respect, anger, lust, and shame. You can conquer all those battles and still miss the one thing that matters most: surrendering your heart completely to God.

In this raw and personal episode, Brent shares his shocking heart diagnosis, the sobering news that multiple bypasses—not just stents—would be required, and the way this moment stripped him of pride, ego, and self-reliance. Despite being in peak physical...

Why do so many men pull away and isolate when life gets hard? In this episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent and Kevin dig into the wounds that drive men to retreat into loneliness—and the cultural lies that make it look like strength.

From Rambo in the woods, to Batman in the Batcave, to Wolverine drifting alone, culture has fed us the image of the “lone wolf” as the ultimate strong man. But Scripture tells a different story: “Two are better than one… pity the man who falls and has no one to hel...

Episode 107 – When God Delays You for a Reason

After 107 episodes of hosting Unleashed solo, today’s episode marks a new season—one God orchestrated down to the minute. He told me to wait just ten more minutes before leaving Starbucks, and at exactly the ten-minute mark, Kevin Huff walked in.

In this episode, Kevin and I share the incredible journey of writing to...

Title: The Morning I Met Ozzy

🎙️ Episode Description

The Wilderness Will Test You – As we head into September’s high-elevation elk hunt in Colorado, this episode parallels physical preparation with spiritual warfare.

What if the storm you’re facing is actually God’s mercy? In this episode of Unleashed, I share the story of a tornado that passed near our home and took down a massive tree in our yard—one I’d been meaning to deal with for years.

In a world where political debates sound more like cage matches than conversations, many have traded compassion for control and relationships for the rush of being “right.” In this episode of UNLEASHED: Sacrificing Relationships on the Altar of Politics, we unpack how anger, shouting, and social media battles are tearing families, friendships, and communities apart.

When did disagreement become a license to demean? Why are we shouting over each other instead of listening? The Bible calls us to a different way — one rooted in humility, wisdom, and love.

Tension in a conversation isn’t the problem...

Too many men let their past define them—whether it’s childhood wounds, failures, or shame. In this episode, I share my own journey—from being bullied as a kid to facing failures as an adult—and how those experiences now drive me to help men reengage instead of running away. Just like Simba in The Lion King, we can get lost in lies and forget who we truly are. But here’s the truth—Simba was the child of a king, and so are we. It’s time to stop believing the enemy’s lies and step into the identity God...
