About This Episode

In this episode, Nathan Spearing sits down with John Moody—author, homesteader, and mentor to men—to talk about why most of life's problems for men come down to two things: muscle and money. Drawing from his own experience building businesses, leading a family, and navigating church life, John explains why provision, protection, and leadership require strength and resources. The conversation touches on entrepreneurship, failed opportunities, church resistance to strong men, and why young men today need practical discipleship in economics, fitness, and household management.
