The Battle That Rages Within

So many men today are fighting silent battles—struggles that keep them awake at night, fuel midlife crises, and leave them asking, “Why do I feel the way I do?”

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, we sit down with Brian McKenna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping men, women, teens, and families find healing and direction.

Brian unpacks the four biggest struggles men face today and shares practical ways to overcome them through a Christ-centered lens. He also gives powerful insight on how we can support the next generation as they face anxiety, loneliness, and identity challenges.

In this episode, Brian highlights the transformative power of honesty and authenticity, and why being real before God and others can change everything.

Don’t miss this episode—it’s a conversation every man (and those who love them) needs to hear.
