A great foundation
I started listening in March of 2018 after hearing Jim speak at ISI in Springfield, IL. Since then the podcast has become one of the highlights of my week. I love the variation of speakers and topics. And I love the challenges they share and how God wants us to live up to our full potential. Thank you for all the hard work you do for men!

Awesome
This is a great resource for men. Amazing guests who are the “real deal” — men who are making a major difference in the world. Every episode has some great takeaways. Definitely the best Podcast series on iTunes.

Loving it!!!
Loving this podcast! I really like how it’s not so much a interview but more of a conversation with your guests! I just Ed started listing to it but I had to go back to the first one and it’s all I’ve been listining to while I drive.

You guys are awesome
I love how you've gone against the grain of interviewing well known guys to dialogue with the true heroes--men getting it done in real life!

Wake up to the Challenge
Sympathy can never take the place of Apathy. Get out of the bleachers and take action. I’ve been inspired by this podcast to have that mindset. So when my church asked if my wife and I would start a youth group in our community, I had no choice. Keep challenging men to get in to the arena. God bless.

Warriors!
This podcast goes straight to the heart of what men not only deal with but what they need to fight past those gut wrenching things that causes a man to fall! Best inspirational podcast out there! Thanks for what you do. Harvey

The Real Deal
Men in the Arena is a real podcast. You’ll hear real stories from real men that live everyday lives, but in extraordinary ways, not because of what’s inside of them, but because of who is inside them. Jim + Dale do a great job of facilitating a conversation not based on some theory or self-help strategy, but rather the conversations are always on life experiences and the power we have through Christ to overcome anything in life.
If you want to hear real encouragement from men who have walked through dark valleys, stay here. If you’re looking for the shortcut, the quick fix or the easy button to Manhood you might want to buckle up before you hit play. This podcast will rock your world if you take it to heart and act on it, but brother, your world needs rocking from time to time so I hope you not only stick around, but put down roots in the Men in the Arena community! You need it + we need you!

Albany Iron Sharpens Iron
My name is Dan Hughes. I was at the Albany conference with my guys from our church. We all loved Jim’s morning message about needing men on the roof. I lead our men’s ministry and we have our own closed face book group. After that message one of the guys came to me and said how about if we change the name of our group to “Men on the roof”? So we did!!!!
I am a truck driver and I love the podcast and listen to it all day as I drive. Started to listen to all the back podcasts as well. I love your ministry and am praying about financially supporting your work. I will be praying for you guys daily.
You guys are my brothers. I love ya!!! God bless!!!!

Passion & progress
Thanks to Men in the Arena podcast, I’m encouraged by the messages & topics each time I listen. Jim, Dale, & the guest speakers have a passion for encouraging, enlightening, & supporting men to make progress in their walk with God & in their marriages!

I wish I could give this show 10 stars!
This show brings in top notch guests who share great wisdom. Jim does not beat around the corner, he tells it like it is. And the way Dale responds when Jim asks how Dale is doing is often hilarious!

Encouraging
As I move along my journey to become the man that God has created me to be, this podcast and Facebook group has helped me so much. The interviews are amazing and you can tell that Jim and Dale are sincere in their love of Christ and helping men become their best versions of themselves. Do yourself and family a great service and subscribe to this and start applying the information to your life. You won’t regret it.

Encouragement for Being a Man After God's Heart
An incredibly authentic and passionate resource for drawing men into the reality of who they were made to be as sons and image bearers of God. Full of truth and content for growth, as well as practical applications to start taking action. Don't just know how to be a man, actually go and do it!
Thank you, too, for the generous shout out in Episode 211 as you interviewed my friend, mentor, and brother in Christ, Tim Spykstra.

Challenge and encouragement for every man
I’m in the stress bubble of life with a third baby recently born, new job, big move, health problems for my son, my wife, and myself all in the last year. This podcast has been exactly what I needed to hear. It challenges and encourages me to keep going, pursue God, and not rest on my rear end.

Jump in, get stoked, and surround yourself with godly men
In a world that falsely welcome’s timid, passive and weak men. This podcast is for men that want to be stirred up and encouraged to be who God wants them to be! On this podcast we have real godly seeking men who have been tested and are prepared to support, raise up and challenge men to action not just in the church but in their houses and every walk of there life. Huge shout out and thanks to Jim for making this a priority in all our lives as men. May we all seek to be a better representation of God and who He wants us to be! Get on here men!

Challenges your mind.
Great content in the passage. Being a missionary in South Africa, its a joy to hear men standing in the arena of life and being walls for their families. Listening to this podcast challenges me to go deeper in my relationship with God and pursue him with all that I am. I highly recommend this podcast to any man that needs some wisdom on how to put the next foot forward and stand strong.

Great show, although I wish you named it differently. I would like to send to my wife so she can listen but she isn’t going to get past the title.
Great shows! Look forward to them.

Challenging, inspiring, convicting...uplifting! REAL!!
This is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. As I strive to be what God has called me to, this God continues to use this podcast to reveal I’m not alone in ANY of my struggles. It amazes me how God speaks directly to what I need to hear through you guys. My wife has even listened to a few episodes!! This has been a huge help with our relationship. As a father of 4 boys, thank you for walking through the struggles, being faithful to what God called you to, and putting it in podcast format for our encouragement!! You guys ROCK!

Amazing podcast for all men
I’ve been addicted to this podcast for over a year. I’m excited that they have a shirt and one hour podcast each year. So if I’m having a busy week I can listen to the shirt one and save the hour podcast for times I have more available time. Jim and Dale are funny guys but get down to business when it comes to guiding and equipping men for the journey we all face. In the pursuit of following the example of the manliest man to ever walk the face of the earth these guys get the message across in a way we can all understand. No matter where we are in life this podcast nails it. The guests are always guys working hard and making it happen while sharing their failures too. Just imperfect guys that want to be better than they were the day before. You won’t be disappointed!!!!

Great Podcast
I found the podcast about a month ago and listened to several episodes while traveling for work. The content of the podcasts is very uplifting and helpful. It’s encouraging to know other men are in the middle of the stress bubble and surviving. I have purchased Jim’s latest book and joined the Men in The Arena Facebook Page. I am now encouraging my sons to start listening.
BTW, I too grew up listening to “Schoolhouse Rock” during Saturday morning cartoons!
Keep up the great work,

Excellent for every man
I’ve been listening to these podcasts for 4 months and they are great. It’s a must listen to for every Christian Man, it doesn’t matter if you are single, or married, a father or grandfather. You will enjoy this podcast.

Excellent Resource for Men
This podcast has been inspiring me to become a better man for the last six months. More than that, it has also given me resources to further pursue growing in the areas that I know I’m lacking in. Any man that wants to better himself and learn from real men doing real life will benefit from the Man Card Podcast.

Real Talk For Real Men
The Man Card is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to! Jim and his crew hit on some great subjects and aren’t afraid to be vulnerable and real with their audience when it comes to being a great man for Christ.
I can’t leave it out that their companion forum, the Men In the Arena on Facebook has a large group of men who are more than willing to get in there and grind it out!

Coach Jim!
This is a great podcast. I just found this today and I’m tearing through the past episodes. It couldn’t come at a better time. We were going through the process of becoming foster parents and we just found out today that we are getting two boys 9 and 10. We already have a 10 and 6 year old. This was such an encouragement. When I heard him say “grinding it out in the stress bubble of life” I can so relate.
Also, Jim was my high school football coach. He is the real deal. He was tough but he was tough because he cared. He was and awesome example of a strong godly man. I knew he was doing the Great hunt for God but I didn’t realize he had a podcast. Thank you and Keep it up!
