EP 112: What Makes a Good Man? with Donnie Griggs

In Faith Journey, Podcast, Spiritual Growth by Donnie Griggs

What does it actually mean to become a good man?

In a culture where it’s so easy for men to become obsessed with greatness, achievement, and influence, many guys find themselves chasing the wrong things. In this conversation, Jordan sits down with pastor and author Donnie Griggs and explores why goodness and faithfulness matter more than being impressive—and why becoming a good man is a lifelong journey we were never meant to walk alone.

Jordan and Donnie talk honestly about responsibility, the weight men are meant to carry, and what happens when men avoid the responsibilities that help them grow. They also unpack a vision of masculinity that refuses to choose between strength and tenderness, and the biblical truth that men need brothers, not just buddies—men who know us, encourage us, speak truth to us and walk with us through every season of life.

Join Jordan and Donnie for a compelling conversation about responsibility, friendship, masculinity, faithfulness and what it really means to become a good man.
