We’re not doing “20 goals.” We’re doing three moves. Clean. Focused. Violent. A new year doesn’t upgrade a weak man. It exposes him. Most guys aren’t failing because they lack motivation, they’re failing because the urgent keeps stealing the throne. In this episode, we go to war: we diagnose the truth in the mirror, we build a cut list, and we send the habits that don't serve us to the killbox!. No hype. No vision-board nonsense.

"If resolutions keep failing you, it’s time for a revolution in your life!"

THE THREE MOVES TO MAKE IN 2026:

• FACE THE MAN IN THE MIRROR
  • What matters the mist in the next 12 months?
• BRING IT INTO THE KILL BOX
  • What things need to be subtracted for me to succeed?
• BUILD THE NEW MAN
  • Where am I "trying" that I could be training?

“If you won’t kill what’s killing you, don’t pray for a different year.”

Most men think accountability is admitting failure. It is not. Confession without cost is just guilt relief, and it trains you to repeat the same cycle. In this episode we break down what real accountability actually is, what it is not, and why consequences are the missing weapon in most men’s lives.

“If failure stays cheap, you will keep buying it.”

HOW ACCOUNTABILITY WORKS
You need five parts. If you are missing one, it collapses.

1. Standard. What are we measuring. Make it specific.
2. Visibility. Can the truth be verified. Secrets breed weakness.
3. Frequency. How often are we checking. Monthly is fantasy!
4. Consequences. What happens when you fail. Not punishment. But a fixed cost for failing.
5. Restoration. How you rebuild with truth, repentance, and a new plan.

REAL WAY TO HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Give someone permission and dont get butt hurt when they call you out!

Step 1. Pick a lane.
Choose one area you keep losing in. Name it plainly.

Step 2. Set the standard.
Write the weekly win condition in one sentence.

Step 3. Set visibility.
Weekly text/call at minimum or meetup is non-negotiable.
If the issue is digital, remove hiding places and add real guardrails.

Step 4. Set consequences.
When you fail, comfort gets taxed! Pick one consequence that hits fast and hard. Examples include removing a privilege for the week, adding an early training session, service that humbles you, tighter check-ins for seven days, and confession to the person you impacted

Step 5. Set restoration.
Answer three questions every time. What triggered it. What guardrail gets installed today. What is the replacement action next time.

4 WEEK ACCOUNTABILITY TRAINING PLAN
This is how you become a man who can actually be held accountable.

Week 1. Exposure.
Write the real pattern. Triggers, timing, location, mood, device, or cope.

Week 2. Guardrails.
Cut off access points. Replace weak/loose hours with rigid structure.

Week 3. Speed.
Shorten the distance between failure and consequence.

Week 4. Raise the standard.
What used to be a win becomes your new baseline. We are not managing failures. We are killing them.

“A man who cannot be corrected, cannot be trusted.”

SOTD: James 5:16 (ESV). “Therefor

Most men aren’t weak by design, they’ve been domesticated. House-trained by other people’s opinions. Afraid to offend. Afraid to stand out. Afraid to actually live at full strength. In this episode, Rory goes straight at the domesticated mentality. The destructive mindset that makes us water down who we are so that those around us can stomach us.

If you’ve ever walked away from a moment knowing you played small, this one is a line-in-the-sand episode.

Today is an intervention for the man who keeps diluting himself down to be “tolerated.”

HOW TO DEVELOP – TRAINING FOR FULL, AUTHENTIC POTENCY

1. WHERE AM I DILUTING MYSELF

• Ask: “Where do I pretend to care less than I actually do?” “Where do I hide the real me?
• Ask your wife or a close brother: “Where have you seen me shrink back?”

2.OTHER PEOPLES COMFORT ISNT MY COMPASS

• Daily declaration:
  • “I fear God, not man. Their comfort is not my compass.”
• Stop editing your answers: when people ask what you believe, what you’re building, or what you’re about, give the real version.
• Let people filter themselves out if your full-strength life makes them uncomfortable.

3. CRANK UP THE VOLTAGE (turn it up to 11!!!)

• Decide: “I will stop apologizing for my intensity, my standards, my discipline, and my CONVICTIONS!!!

Focus: on the people you’re assigned to build, not the crowd you’re afraid to lose.

SOTD : Galatians 1:10 (ESV) - “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? … If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

Most men don’t fail because they have bad intentions. They fail because they trust their intentions more than their actions. In this episode, we expose the dark side of intention and how meaning well can still cause damage, how effort becomes self-deception, and why behavior and execution is the only thing that builds a man. Stop deceiving yourself and Close the gap.

QOTD: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

SOTD: Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.”

WHAT IS IT? The self-deception of intention.
believing that a good heart, sincere effort, or emotional desire equals action. It doesn’t. The behavior builds a man.

TACTICAL APPLICATION STEPS

1. Expose It:
Name one area where you’ve hidden behind “I meant well.”

2. Align It:
Hold that intention against Scripture. If it doesn’t align, kill it.

3. Execute It:
Finish one thing this week you’ve been “meaning to do.”
Execution is the antidote to self-deception.

DANGEROUS FOCUS FOR THE WEEK

Stop trusting your intentions. Start proving your obedience.

Most men think “keeping the peace” is a virtue. In reality, it is often just fear of losing comfort. In this Dangerous Discipline episode, Rory goes straight at the lie of peacekeeping and exposes how fake peace is quietly destroying marriages, training kids to be weak, and draining spiritual authority from a man’s life.

You will learn the difference between a peacekeeper who avoids conflict and a peacemaker who enters conflict with courage, truth, and conviction. We break down the habits of both, why God calls men to wage war for real peace, and how to start stepping into hard conversations instead of running from them.

If your default move is to stay quiet, smooth things over, and “not rock the boat,” this episode is your wake-up call.

3. QOTD – Quote of the Day

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

5. SOTD – Scripture of the Day (ESV)

Matthew 5:9 (ESV)
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”

Habits of a Peacekeeper

• Avoids hard conversations until things blow up.
• Says “it’s fine” when it’s clearly not fine.
• Protects feelings at the expense of souls.
• Buries tension, then resents everyone in silence.

Habits of a Peacemaker

• Confronts issues directly and calmly.
• Tells the truth, even when it makes the room tense.
• Sets and enforces clear boundaries.
• Fights for restoration, not ego or “winning.”

3 steps on how to train as a Peacemaker:

1. Where is the fake peace in my life?
2. Face the fire!
3. Draw the line, And stand on it!

We have been quietly brainwashed from boyhood to sit down, be quiet, and wait for someone else's approval before we can move. This episode exposes systematic approval conditioning. The hidden training that neutered you before you could even become a man.

Rory digs into how parents, school, church, and the system programmed you to seek a green light of approval before you move. Then we show you how to break that leash with Scripture, conviction, and action. If you are tired of asking everyone if it is okay to obey God, this one is for you.

QOTD: “If you live for permission from people, you will die with potential still in you.” - TDMP

SOTD: Galatians 1:10 ESV
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God. Or am I trying to please man. If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

APPLICATION STEPS:

Step 1. Where Are You Waiting For Permission

• One area: leading at home, starting something, having a hard conversation. Starting that business, taking that next step…
• Fill in the blank: “I know I should do this. I am just waiting for ______ to be okay first.”

Step 2. Shift From Permission To Commission

• Ask yourself this: has God already spoken on this in Scripture.
• If yes, you already have a higher green light.
• Say this: “God’s commission is greater than human permission.”

Step 3. Take One Act Of Obedient Initiative This Week

• Not reckless just simple Obedience.

Dangerous Focus For The Week

• Pick one area where you have been waiting for APPROVAL to make your move... that you know you need to make, and just MAKE THE MOVE!

Freedom has a price. In this Veterans Day episode we HONOR those who served and translate battlefield virtues into everyday life. Duty becomes daily responsibility. Discipline becomes habit over hype. Honor shows up in the small things. Loyalty builds brotherhood. Courage runs toward the hard thing. You will get clear steps to honor a veteran this week and practical ways to carry weight where you live. Greater love is not a slogan. It is a standard.

QOTD: "Freedom was purchased by men and women who chose duty over comfort. If you enjoy the fruit, carry the weight."

6 lessons I have learned from veterans:

• DUTY TO THE DAILY. Make and keep simple visible commitments at home first.
• HABIT OVER HYPE. Train your body. Sharpen your mind. Discipline your spirit. No zero days.
• HONOR STARTS SMALL. Be on time. Keep your word. Speak truth clearly.
• LOYALTY TO BROTHERHOOD. Show up for your men before you are asked.
• COURAGE UNDER FIRE. Initiate the hard talk, the apology, the boundary, and be the protector.
• NEVER OUT OF THE FIGHT. No matter what! You aint never gonna quit

SOTD:
John 15:13 ESV. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

Romans 13:7 ESV. “Pay to all what is owed to them. Respect to whom respect is owed. Honor to whom honor is owed.”
