Dragon Slayers

Men Always Set the Standard of Love

lovingonpurpose Season 2 Episode 2

In this episode of the Dragon Slayers Podcast, Danny and Ben dive into the first of the “Always & Never” statements from the Dragon Slayer Creed: “Men always set the standard of love. They never hate their enemy.” This conversation is raw, real, and unfiltered, calling men to take radical ownership of their lives, their appetites, and their influence. From confronting porn addiction to embracing covenant brotherhood, this episode challenges men to rise above entitlement and isolation and live lives marked by love, strength, and self-control.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why true strength starts with protecting those around you from your appetites and chaos.
  • How porn use is not a private issue—it leaks into your entire family and environment.
  • Why blaming your partner for your addiction is cowardly and destructive.
  • The importance of inviting trusted men into your life for accountability and growth.
  • How to stop playing the victim and start living with courage, integrity, and purpose.


Key Takeaways:

  • You are responsible for the environment you create: Whether in your home, workplace, or friendships, your choices affect everyone. Own them.
  • Love is a standard, not a reaction: Real men don’t justify hatred or bitterness—they set the tone with honor, self-control, and forgiveness.
  • Healing requires brotherhood: You cannot fight dragons alone. Surround yourself with men who challenge, strengthen, and protect you.
  • Isolation will take you out: Without brothers, you'll eventually look to your wife to meet needs only God and your band of brothers were designed to fulfill.
  • Don't build projects—build brothers: Your twelve shouldn’t be people you’re fixing. They should be men you enjoy, respect, and walk with for life.
