Today, I sit down with Mike Van Pelt — author, speaker, entrepreneur, podcaster, and founder of True Man Life Coaching. Mr. Van Pelt joins me for a deep conversation on what it means to be a man in today's world, unpacking powerful insights on masculinity, leadership, emotional health, and spiritual intimacy. We talk about the evolving expectations of men and how vulnerability and authenticity are essential—not weaknesses—to becoming a true man.

Mr. Van Pelt shares his powerful journey from traditional masculine expectations to discovering a richer, Christ-centered identity through men's retreats and small group accountability. He walks us through how his work helps men reconnect with their hearts, heal old wounds, and step into their true purpose. We explore topics like the fear of asking for help, toxic masculinity, why crying isn’t weakness, and how Jesus serves as the ultimate model of manhood.

This episode dives into the damage caused by comparison, materialism, and digital addiction—while highlighting how community, coaching, and spiritual grounding can lead to legacy-driven transformation. Whether you're a man seeking purpose or a woman who wants to support the man in your life, this episode delivers hard truth, practical insight, and a message of hope. Mr. Van Pelt doesn’t just coach men—he equips leaders to lead with integrity, faith, and courage.
