We are Christian men that do various challenges throughout the year that push us physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally. In this episode, we dive into the challenges we took on in 2023, sharing the good, the bad, and the funny moments as we pursued growth in faith and character.

Some of the challenges we took on this year include:

• Maintaining purity
• Daily Bible reading
• 100 daily crunches, 3-minute front planks, and 4-minute side planks
• Eating fruit daily (apple, orange, or banana)
• No social media
• Memorizing 4 new Bible verses
• Daily prayer for the same person
• Affirming 5 people throughout the month
• Daily flossing
• No alcohol, caffeine, or pop
• 5 cold showers (5+ minutes each)
• Sleeping outside once
• Summiting a 14er (14,000 ft mountain)
• Having lunch with a stranger
• Writing a short story (5,000+ words)
• Jumping rope for 100 total minutes

Through this podcast, we hope to inspire other Christian men to seek out their own community that will challenge and grow them to also be Men Above Reproach. We are Christian men who strive to live above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2-3), yet we know that it is only because of Jesus Christ that we can truly be above reproach (Colossians 1:22).

We hope that our conversations spur you on to grow in your faith and also to be a Man Above Reproach. 

1 Timothy 3:2-3

Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

Colossians 1:22

Jesus Christ has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him
