Throwing Mountains
Welcome to the Throwing Mountains (formerly Empowered Manhood) podcast, where men rediscover courageous leadership. You'll be strengthened by the stories of God working in the lives of ordinary men today -- men who've become leaders in their spheres of influence by relying on God and following Jesus. You'll also gain a sharp focus on the biblical idea of masculine leadership which will help orient your own life as a man.

HIGHLIGHTS: Building Trust by Being Real with David Dusek of Rough Cut Men
For nearly two decades, David Dusek has been speaking to and speaking with men around the world. Men want and need authentic friendships with other men, says David, but most men are afraid to open up about what's really going on in their lives.
In these highlights from a 2022 interview with David, he explains that, to build trust with men, you need to be real about your own life, including your struggles and failures. Then you can point them to Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith . . . and theirs.
David started Rough Cut Men Ministries to encourage and equip men to live their lives for Christ. He utilizes his life experiences — and a strategic combination of action movie sequences, real-world current events, Biblical truth, and fireteam-sized discussion groups — to get men talking about what’s really going on in their lives.
