Why are so many men angry all the time, including men who genuinely know and love Jesus?

In the first Braveheart roundtable, Bryan Crouch sits down with Curt Epp, Donald Allen, and Olushala Ijalana for an honest conversation about anger in today’s culture.

The guys dig beneath the visible reaction and talk about what often fuels anger: pressure, fear, rejection, unmet expectations, comparison, feeling disrespected, moving too fast, and trying to control everything around us.

They also wrestle with some difficult questions:

• Is anger ever righteous?
• When does legitimate anger become sinful or destructive?
• Why does biblical knowledge disappear in the heat of the moment?
• How can slowing down, practicing gratitude, and showing compassion change our response?
• What does real strength look like for a man following Jesus?

This is not a sermon or a polished interview. It is four Christian men having a real conversation about something many of us struggle with but do not always know how to admit.

Scripture discussed:

James 1:19–20
Ephesians 4:26–27
Proverbs 16:32
Romans 12:1–2

What tends to sit underneath your anger?

Follow Conformed To Transformed on Spotify for more honest conversations and practical biblical teaching about transformation, recovery, renewed thinking, and becoming who God created you to be.

Ten years of marriage has changed us in ways we never could have predicted. Krista and I talk honestly about recovery, primary progressive MS, faith, changing priorities, hard seasons, and what putting God in the middle has done for our marriage.

We also talk about learning to live with a completely different rhythm, becoming vulnerable with each other, finding purpose in pain, and what we hope the next ten years will look like.

We don't have marriage figured out. But we do have a story — and we believe God can use every part of yours too.

Transformation doesn't happen all at once. It happens one faithful decision at a time.

The Wrong Scoreboard: How God Defines Success

Why do so many believers feel like failures—even when they're praying, reading Scripture, serving others, and pursuing God?

The answer may be simpler than you think:

You're measuring your life with the wrong scoreboard.

In this episode from Chapter 8 of Conformed to Transformed, Bryan Crouch explores the difference between the world's definition of success and God's definition of victory.

The world measures:
• Money
• Status
• Performance
• Followers
• Achievements

God measures:
• Faithfulness
• Obedience
• Love
• Eternal impact

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical application, you'll learn how a simple shift in perspective can change the way you view setbacks, success, purpose, and your relationship with God.

• 2 Corinthians 4:18
• Colossians 3:2
• Hebrews 12:2
• Romans 12:2
• James 1:5

✓ Stop measuring spiritual success with worldly metrics

✓ Learn what it means to fight from victory instead of for victory

✓ Discover how better questions can change your perspective

✓ Begin seeing life through the scoreboard of heaven

Because real transformation starts when you change the way you think.
