        <itunes:summary>Too many men feel invisible-carrying the weight of fatherhood, marriage, faith, and responsibility in silence.

MEN SEEN is the podcast for men who refuse to quit, even when life knocks them down.

Hosted by Marcus Spriggs, husband, father, and mentor, each episode blends real-life struggles with biblical truth, cultural wisdom, and raw transparency. From overcoming physical setbacks to building legacy in broken places, Marcus speaks to the heart of men-especially Black men who are determined to rise from the rubble and live as God intended.

* Honest conversations about manhood, fatherhood, and faith

Stories of struggle, redemption, and legacy-building Scriptures and prayers to strengthen your walk

If you&#39;ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unappreciated-this space is for you. You are not alone. You are not broken beyond repair. You are seen.</itunes:summary>
