  • Summary

  • Foxhole Symphony is a podcast about the transformational value of men in authentic Christian community. The world has taught men that authentic equals weak. We have been trained since young ages to stuff it, hide it and fake it 'till we make it with messages like ‘big boys don’t cry’, ‘put on a stiff upper lip’, and ‘never let ‘em see you sweat’. Stop believing the lie that you can thrive in isolation and instead, join us on the journey from broken to whole.

  • Living with Intention: Embracing Stewardship, Presence, and Purpose in God's Plan
    May 17 2024

    Have you ever paused to consider that every breath, every moment, and everything you call 'yours' is a gift from above? That's where we start in our latest conversation, as my co-host Steve and I, Mark, delve into the profound sense of presence that comes from recognizing God's hand in the minutiae of our lives. We share candidly about our personal struggles and breakthroughs in the quest to remain connected to the Divine amidst the whirlwind of daily commitments.

    This episode takes you through a transformative shift in perspective on what it means to 'own' something. With stories from our own lives, we explore the liberating concept of stewardship over ownership—how treating our possessions, our businesses, and our families as precious loans from God can infuse our daily routines with gratitude and purpose. We also dissect the nature of giving, shedding light on its power not just as a duty but as a heartfelt response to the generosity of our Creator.

    Finally, we reflect on the paths to unconditional love, radical forgiveness, and peace beyond understanding. These are not just theoretical ideals but targets we aim for in our own lives, even as we stumble and press on. We share practical ways to be fully present for our loved ones, to actively listen, and to embrace the spiritual practices that keep us grounded in the reality of God's ever-present love. Join us on this journey, and let's together discover the richness of living in alignment with God's purpose.

  • PIVOT: Cultivating a Resilient Spirit in a World of Change
    May 3 2024

    Ever wondered how a simple change in your morning routine could lead you closer to your faith and improve your relationships? Join us as we bare our souls about reshaping life to make room for God in the day-to-day hustle. In this engaging episode, Mark and Sarge inject some humor into the conversation about lifestyle pivots, repentance, and the quest for authenticity in how we live and connect with others.

    Change can be daunting, but divine guidance can make all the difference. This episode peels back the layers on behavioral change, the limitations of willpower, and the grace found in surrendering to a loving, sovereign God. We share anecdotes and spiritual insights, like those found in a resonant Psalm, to illustrate how shifting our focus can transform our approach to life's hurdles. Our discussion leads us to a deeper understanding that discipline in returning to spiritual truths is not just beneficial but essential for a resilient spirit.

    Faced with the fast-paced world of today, we dissect the concept of intentional living, exploring resources like Cal Newport's "Slow Productivity" and the Encounter app as aids in your journey towards tranquility and purpose. Wrapping up, we extend an invitation to our listeners to engage, share their stories, and join a community that values transformation and spiritual depth—because after all, isn't life about more than just keeping busy?

  • Unveiling Scars and Redefining Manhood with Guest Jason Lloyd
    Apr 19 2024

    Have you ever witnessed a man's heart laid bare, revealing the scars and stories that shaped him? That's exactly what unfolded as we welcomed Jason to our latest Foxhole Symphony session, a place where authenticity isn't just encouraged—it's essential. Together with our special guest, Jason Lloyd, we traversed the rugged landscape of identity, fatherlessness, and the pursuit of spiritual wholeness. Jason's candid recollection of his childhood weaves through our discussion on the deep-seated need for companionship and the profound impact it has on personal growth.

    The absence of a father figure can cast long shadows on a man's life. This episode holds space for the raw and often unspoken struggles that come from fatherlessness and emotionally distant parenting. We share intimate stories that illuminate the craving for paternal support and the quest for acceptance. And amid the echoes of lost boyhood, we dissect the coping mechanisms that emerge when traditional definitions of masculinity fall short. This is a call to redefine manhood, to seek healing, and to acknowledge the role of community in guiding us through life's darkest chapters.

    Concluding our session, we reflect on the courage it takes to chart one's own faith journey and the solace found in brotherhood. Jason's story doesn't shy away from the tumult of questioning one's inherited beliefs or the liberation that follows a true acceptance of self. We examine the transformative power of faith and the strength in shared narratives, urging you to discover the beacon of hope that can shine through your own story. Tune in, and let this conversation inspire you to embrace change, seek authenticity, and step into the redemptive journey that awaits.
