  • S2:EP 2- Mile Wide, Inch Deep
    May 24 2025

    In this episode of Flawed Men of Faith, Sidney unpacks one of the biggest struggles that holds men back—fear. Not the kind that keeps us safe, but the kind that keeps us stuck. Sidney dives deep into the illusion of fear and how most of what we fear either never happens or isn’t as bad as we imagined.


    Using 2 Timothy 1:7 as the foundation—“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”—he introduces his 95/4/1 Theory: 95% of the fears we carry never come to pass. The 4% that do are rarely as devastating as we expect. And the 1% that actually hit hard? They didn’t destroy us—and in many cases, they developed us.


    Sidney also breaks down the difference between true fear, false fears, and unwarranted anxieties, helping men recognize when their thoughts are rooted in past pain or future uncertainty, not present truth.


    This episode is a call to stop living an inch deep, ruled by shadows and “what-ifs,” and to start standing in the power, love, and sound mind that God already gave us.

  • S2:EP 1- The Gift of Blindness
    Mar 27 2025

    In this episode of The Flawed Men of Faith Podcast, Sidney explores the hidden power of singular focus—what he calls The Gift of Blindness. While society often praises multitasking and versatility, Sidney makes the case that having one talent, one ability, or one idea to pour into can be a blessing in disguise.


    Drawing from history, he highlights how this principle propelled an iconic athlete to become the youngest heavyweight champion of the world and helped his wife achieve Olympic greatness. He then gets personal, sharing how his own lack of focus at times led to wasted years—years that could never be replaced. With time being our most finite resource, he challenges listeners to consider where they’re truly investing theirs.


    But this episode isn’t just about success—it’s about fulfillment. Sidney unpacks why finding joy in your pursuit is just as crucial as the pursuit itself. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about winning the race; it’s about loving the journey.


    Tune in for an episode that will challenge your mindset, inspire clarity, and help you embrace The Gift of Blindness in your own life.

  • EP 7- The New
    Jan 7 2024
    This is the first episode of the New Year. In this brief “solo session”, the topic of embracing the new things in life is discussed. Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 talks about the seasons of life. Isaiah 43:18-19 says “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” What is God doing new in you? No matter what the answer to that question is; never forget, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” ( 2 Corinthians 5:17) If you are in Christ, yes you too are NEW.
