In light of recent events, the need for Christian men to be prepared is at an all time high. Gone are the days where apathy or complacency are acceptable. We must be ready on a daily basis, and that includes the tools you carry on your person.

In this episode of the Hard Men Podcast we discuss how we think through the principles, considerations, and gear of the everyman's everyday carry.

What gear should you always have on you?

How important is alertness and awareness in your everyday scenario?

How are you making sure that you're a hard target capable of protecting and providing for your people?

Earle "Marty" Combs recently went viral online after waking up at 4:00am in his home in Boulder, Colorado to check on a loud noise that had come from his kitchen.

What he didn't know as he walked down the stairs with his AR-15 is that a black bear had broken in through a window, ripped his trash can out of his cabinet, and was rifling through the contents on the floor.

After spotting the bear with his weapon light it immediately charged him. Marty put 7 well-placed rounds into the bear before it could get to him, dropping it on the spot.

In this exclusive interview we talk to Marty about having Christian agency in the midst of an effeminate culture, what tools and training men should be working to acquire for the security of their people, and, of course, fighting bears.

Dopamine has been a heavily researched and discussed topic in the past few years, especially in relation to addiction.

But what is dopamine? What does it do? And how can we use it to propel us to greater fruitfulness?

In this episode, we break down how dopamine really works, why it can lead men into cycles of depression and weakness or motivation and strength, and how to harness it for discipline, focus, and long-term success. If you’ve ever wondered why you're naturally inclined to chase comfort instead of greatness through hard work, this is the episode for you.

In this episode Tate and Ethan review Steve Wilkins' book "Face to Face" on the topic of intentional hospitality and Christian friendship.

This is an often overlooked skill and practice in the church today, and one that must absolutely be recovered. A thick culture is built through deep friendships and deep friendships are built through the aggressive pursuit of hospitality.

How can we better cultivate true friendships, and what are the practical ways that we can make our homes and lives welcoming places to be?

Stories of the wild, American frontier are an essential part of the American mythos, and for over 100 years the Western film has been the primary conduit for telling these great tales.

In this episode of The Hard Men Podcast, Tate & Ethan throw on their hats, light some cigars, sip some whiskey, and talk through some of the most iconic Westerns ever made.

What are some of the great Westerns every man should be familiar with? How can we use these films to inspire us and our generations? And how are we letting these stories help form our cultural identity here in Ogden?

When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe.

They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.
