  • Life Changing

    The difference between this podcast and other growth podcasts is if you actually implement what these guys are teaching you into your own life you will find that what they teach works. Not only that but the guys (Garrett and Nick) teaching you are living it out in their lives as well.

    This podcast has changed my life and it will change yours if you lean into everything they teach you.

  • Garrett is Morpheus

    Garrett provides insight as to why Christian men feel unfulfilled even thought we are not living for this life but have an eternal perspective. God has made us for so much more and Garrett and Nick are being used by the Lord to help us unlock our true godly potential and become those Mighty Men.
