Christian Podcast for Men | Real Men Connect

The weight of being a man is heavy; and it’s even heavier when you’re a Christian, husband, father, and the spiritual leader of your home. The pressure to provide, lead, and hold everything together can feel overwhelming. Dr. Joe knows, because as the son of a 16-year old mother, and a survivor of physical and sexual abuse, he grew up without a strong father figure, he made mistakes, and he hit rock bottom before he truly understood what it meant to be a real man—one who leads with faith, integrity, and purpose. That’s why he started the Real Men Connect Podcast —because no man should have to figure out or do life alone. If you’re a husband, father, leader, or just a man trying to live out your faith in a world that constantly challenges your manhood, this podcast is for you. What You’ll Get Each Week: Tactical, No-Fluff Teaching: Every Monday is the “Real Men Check-In,” where Dr. Joe breaks down and shares practical, biblical wisdom in a short, power-packed episode designed to help you step up as a godly man, lead your family, and build a legacy of faith. High-Impact Expert Interviews: Every Wednesday, Dr. Joe sits down with some of the world’s leading Christian men—pastors, authors, coaches, and thought leaders in faith, family, and Christian manhood. His guests have included Gary Thomas, Montell Jordan, Stephen Mansfield, Jim Ramos, Jarred Lopes, Larry Hagner and other powerhouses of biblical manhood. Dr. Joe distills their wisdom into actionable takeaways so you can apply their insights immediately. Why This Podcast? Dr. Joe isn’t just another host—he’s a man who’s been tested, broken, and rebuilt by God’s grace, going from rags to riches to ruined to redemption. He’s worked with thousands of men, all over the world, as a spiritual coach, mentor, author, and speaker, and he knows firsthand that no good man can ever become a great man without the help of Godly men — his marriage strengthens, his children thrive, his work flourishes, and his faith deepens. The Real Men Connect Podcast was created to give men help, hope, and healing in the areas that are hurting them the most. The world doesn’t need more passive, confused, or disengaged men; it needs real men—men who connect in brotherhood with other men, and lead with courage, faith, and love. So, are you ready to step up? Are you ready to stop surviving and start thriving as the man God called you to be? Then let’s go! Subscribe to the Real Men Connect Podcast and start your journey to biblical manhood today!

Frederic Gray is a national speaker, author, and the founder of the Fathers of Faith and Daughters of Excellence Retreat in Tampa, Florida. He’s a husband and a father of five (5) (2 boys, 3 girls, from ages 12 to 1) with one more on the way, and he’s passionate about teaching fathers how to win the hearts of their children. He’s also the author of “How to Win Your Children’s Heart Using God’s Word.”

To connect with Frederic Gray, you can visit his websites at either: http://www.FredericGray.com or http://wwww.FatherDaughterRetreat.com.

Here are the steps Frederic outlined for us:

When to spank: When they clearly understand the rules they broke and your expectations of them.

  1. Make sure they understand that the most important thing to do is obey God.
  2. Find a private place to spank them.
  3. Speak super gentle to them and without anger.
  4. Have them tell you what they were supposed to do, but didn't.
  5. Ask them: "Did you obey Daddy?"
  6. Ask them: "Did you obey God?"
  7. Share a verse from the Bible on discipline (Ex. Prov. 13:24).
  8. Ask them: "What is God telling me to do?" (child: to spank me)
  9. Ask them: "If I don't spank you, am I obeying God?"
  10. Tell them: "I want to obey God, because I love you and I love God."
  11. Ask them (again):"Do you know why I'm going to give you a spanking?"
  12. Pray with them BEFORE you spank them (while holding them close).
  13. Use the rod/paddle (NOT your hand) when spanking your child.
  14. Hit them only on the bottom (let it hurt, but don't damage them).
  15. Lay with them afterwards to comfort them and affirm them.
