After a break from recording due to general busyness, the guys on The Manual discuss general life updates, some fundamental changes on The Manual, and some improvements that will be coming up in the future.

For the first guest episode of The Manual, Will, Jesse, and Ben discuss the subject of discipline with the owner of Palmetto Martial Arts, Phil Moses. Phil is a 27-year-old business owner, an avid outdoorsman, a long-time member of the U.S. National Guard, a devout Catholic, a gym enthusiast, and a fourth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. The guys talk about self-discipline versus enforced discipline, discipline regarding addictions, and some disciplinary differences and common grounds between Baptist and Catholic beliefs. Join the guys on The Manual for their first-ever guest episode!

In Episode 6 of The Manual, Josh, Ben, Clayton, Will, and Jesse have a heated conversation about comparisons between love and lust. The differences between these two concepts should be easily identifiable, but how do they look in a Christian relationship? The guys are relatively inexperienced in this area of life, so changes in their opinions about love and lust will be documented in a later episode of The Manual. Also included in this episode are big news from Will and a discussion about a potentially controversial analogy.
