Ep 67: Faith, Manhood & Mentorship with Reverend Albert Johnson

September 18, 2025 • Melvin Larry • Episode 67

Reverend Albert Johnson joins me for a powerful, transparent conversation about calling, identity, leadership, decision-making, and why men need real mentorship and accountability. We dig into his journey from trucking to chaplaincy, lessons from strong male role models, the balance between church and nonprofit work, and how family remains the foundation for a thriving society. If you’re a man in that 35–55 core range (or love one), this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn:

Personal mission, core values, and keeping family first
How near-miss moments clarify calling and purpose
Mentoring vs. advice: asking better questions and building trust
Church culture, nonprofit partnerships, and community impact
Why men struggle to open up—and how to build accountability
Decision-making (knowledge, skills, desire) and protecting your focus
Moving through life’s phases with wisdom, integrity, and faith
