In this episode of the MTNTOUGH Podcast, host Dustin Diefenderfer welcomes back Joby Martin, a dynamic communicator calling men to biblical manhood. Joby dives into his new book, Stand Firm and Act Like Men: Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of the Man the World Says You Are, unpacking the scriptural imperatives to be watchful, stand firm in faith, act like men, be strong, and let everything be done in love. He addresses the cultural attacks on masculinity, the rise of a grassroots men's movement, and the signs of revival sweeping churches and society, emphasizing the need for authentic brotherhood, spiritual warfare readiness, and rejecting apathy in favor of Christ-centered leadership. This bold and motivating conversation provides practical steps for men to protect their families, renew their minds with God's truth, serve sacrificially, and build lasting legacies, delivering encouragement and biblical wisdom for guys ready to rise up and thrive as godly leaders in a challenging world.
