Everyone gets tired and worn out. Many guys dont give themselves permission to stop. There’s always the next thing to stop us from taking a break. This week the guys talk about the value of stopping and taking a moment to see where you are on the journey with God. He has designed you on purpose to fulfill something only you are created to do. The guys give practical tips to help guys connect and encouragement to make an impact in the lives of other men. They recap the Mens retreat and what God did during the weekend.

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.
