In this episode, we dive into Shane’s powerful testimony—from military life and law enforcement to full-time ministry—and his heart for helping men stand firm in their God-given identity. We talk about the challenges facing men today, the spiritual attacks on biblical masculinity, and how the church (and us mamas!) can partner in equipping and encouraging the men in our lives.
