Episode notes
From Ruston To Men’s Ministry
- Robert Lewis grew up in Ruston, Louisiana, found Christ in college, and later studied divinity and counseling to heal personal wounds. He served 30 years as a pastor, started a church in Little Rock, and left the pastorate in 2005 to minister to men globally.
The Alligator Motivation Story
- Robert recounts Arkansas coach Jackie Sherrill carrying an alligator to motivate toughness and poking it into his backside as a stunt. A lineman quipped, 'you don't have to poke me in the eyes to make me let go,' providing a comic, memorable locker-room lesson.
A Measurable Definition Of Manhood
- Robert framed authentic manhood as a clear, repeatable definition so men could measure themselves and recover masculinity. The definition begins: reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, and expect God's greater reward.
