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.

This week on the Known Legacy Podcast, we sit down with Vernon Burger, founder of His Voice Global, a ministry dedicated to raising up leaders among the vulnerable and transforming lives through a sustainable, whole-person approach.

Before God called him to lead this movement, Vernon’s life had no direction, and he wasn’t following Jesus. But everything changed when one man chose to invest in him—and now Vernon shares how the power of discipleship, honesty with God, and the truth of Emmanuel – God with us can radically transform lives.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The journey from lost to leading with purpose

• Why vulnerability and honesty with God bring true freedom

• How His Voice Global is making an eternal impact in Africa

• The importance of raising leaders who carry the mission forward

If you’ve ever wondered about your impact or what it means to live as a child of God, this conversation is for you.
