Dragon Slayers

Men Always Control Themselves (Not Others)

lovingonpurpose Season 2 Episode 4

Danny and Ben break down a core statement from the Dragon Slayers Creed: “Men always control themselves from the inside out. They never control other people.” Drawing directly from the transcript, this episode explores internal self-control as the foundation for leadership and clarity in relationships.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Control starts with you—not with trying to change others.
  • Love is freedom, not control.
  • Self-control is the spirit God gives you—not fear or timidity.
  • Without self-control, you're like a city without walls—open to attack.


Key Takeaways:

  • True leadership starts by mastering your own responses, not by micromanaging others.
  • Cultural environments—at home or in teams—are shaped by whether you self-regulate or try to dominate.
  • Self-justification, blame, and victimhood are signs that you're ceding control of your internal state.
  • Training others (kids, peers) starts with empowering them to control themselves—not by forcing compliance.
