Men in the Arena - Christian Men's Podcast

by Jim Ramos

The Men in the Arena podcast equips Christian men in the stress bubble of life: married, with kids, building your career and trying to follow God while leading your family well. We'll help you become your best version, equipping you to honor God in your marriage, parenting, work, church and community! Tuesday's podcast is Equipping Men in Ten - a ten-minute, laser-focused teaching from Jim Ramos to help you become your best version of a man. Friday's podcast is a high-octane interview with an expert in the realm of masculinity and Christian manhood, with authors like John Eldredge, Gary Chapman, Gene Getz, Patrick Morley, and Emerson Eggerichs. Jim reads their books and boils down their teachings into a powerful interview to help you learn from their expertise. Your host is bestselling author and speaker Jim Ramos. Jim has authored 9 books, including the bestseller 'Strong Men Dangerous Times: 5 Essentials Every Man Must Possess to Change His World', 'Tell Them: What Great Fathers Tell Their Sons and Daughters', 'The Field Guide: A Bathroom Book for Men', and the 5-book Strong Men Study Guide men's small group curriculum. Jim's high-energy storytelling and conviction will call you out, build you up, and motivate you to become the man you've always known you could be. The Men in the Arena are calling you into the Arena of manhood. We're calling you out of the faceless, nameless bleachers, and calling you UP to be the best version of you. Because when a man gets it, everyone wins.

This for the last three years has been a must have on my play list and not only has it grew me into the man I need to be it has improved my marriage, relationship with my son, helped my wife, good buddy and I start a discipleship ministry and lead me to other great Godly men to listen to so I can become the dangerous man God has made me!

CharlieW51 · Feb 2025

I just finished podcast number 816 with Scar. It was a huge confirmation for what God has been taking me through the last month and a half. You see I had a monster in my life too. One that loomed large and in charge for over 40 years. You see my dad and his buddies used to pass me around and do unspeakable things. As a child I blocked that out and it resulted in me trusting the same man with my oldest child who he proceeded to use as well. 20 years we e of guilt, shame, and unforgiveness came to a head almost two months ago when I received a phone call….it was the monster telling me he was dying. I spent hours not sure how to feel, says on an emotional rollercoaster, and the last month and a half in surrender. I met with my monster to hear him out. I felt God leading me to check on his salvation and come to find out he recently gave his life to Christ. So now the monster is now not only my dad but my brother in Christ and a new being. Long story short God called me to serve the man who spent a huge portion of my life trying to destroy me. Whether it was restoring our relationship, truly forgiving him, lunches, helping him take out the trash, whatever it was I was clearly called by God to serve him. I don’t know if I would have been in place to be able to do this without the influence of Men in the Arena. The things I’ve learned about being a man from this podcast, from Jim personally, his books, or even the MAG group I used to attend; prepared my heart for the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Thank you for strengthening my faith and showing me what it means to be a man of God. I miss you all at MAG and will try and make it out more often.

I stumbled upon this podcast a few weeks back and I use it as a time after I finish working out and I sit in a hot steam sauna and because it’s hot and it’s hard to sit there and endure the heat I find it helpful to listen to the podcast because it gives me something near and dear to my heart to focus on. I find in the sauna while listening I can completely focus on what is being said. It’s part of my quiet time each day and a great way to manage the day. I take this podcast very serious, 6 kids with 4 boys and 2 girls. I find myself applying what I have learned in a short period of time in my marriage and my relationship with my kids. Long time Christian and lover of Jesus but constant learning and growing is a must and this podcast helps promote that. Please keep this show going and I am sharing it with my closest friends.

This podcast has helped me further and solidify my relationship with God and my family. Before this podcast I was searching for belonging and a church that I can connect with likeminded individuals. If you’re interested in starting or furthering your climb to become a better man this is for you!!
