In this powerful episode of Men After God, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen dive deep into one of the most essential—but often overlooked—spiritual disciplines: Bible reading.

Together, they unpack the real-life struggles Christian men face when it comes to engaging with God’s Word—like time constraints, distractions, shame, and even imposter syndrome. This episode isn’t just theory; it’s packed with practical frameworks, heart-level honesty, and a clear call to consistency and connection with God.

You'll learn why discipline is actually freedom, how to stop seeing the Bible as a checklist, and how to begin seeing it as a conversation with a Father who wants to speak directly to you.

👉 Key Takeaways:
✔️ Discipline is freedom.
✔️ Overcoming shame is crucial for spiritual growth.
✔️ Consistency in Bible reading is key to spiritual health.
✔️ The Bible should be a conversation, not just a checklist.
