Stay on Mission
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Longevity. Faithfulness. Finishing Strong.
Most men don’t lose their faith, their marriages, or their purpose in one dramatic moment. They lose it in the long, quiet middle — the exhausting grind between victories.
In this powerful episode of The Making of a Man, Mike Judd takes you into the heart of what it really means to stay faithful when life gets hard, prayers feel unanswered, and old temptations try to pull you off course.
Drawing from Philippians 3:14, this episode explores why spiritual drift is more dangerous than outright failure, how discouragement and distraction quietly wear men down, and what it takes to keep pressing forward when you’re tired, wounded, and tempted to quit.
Mike also shares a deeply personal story from his life — from the lonely years following his 2015 divorce to a quiet awakening in Traverse City in 2020 that reminded him the only way forward was with Christ — along with real, present-day moments of choosing connection over escape in his marriage.
You’ll learn:
- Why most men don’t quit — they drift
- How distraction, discouragement, and disconnection steal your mission
- What it really means to “press on” when you’re exhausted
- How to stay spiritually present as a husband, father, and leader
- And how to finish strong instead of fading out
This episode closes with The Warrior’s Creed — a powerful declaration for men who are determined to stay on mission in their faith, their families, and their calling.
If you’ve been feeling tired, numb, or tempted to quietly give up, this episode is your reminder:
- You were not called to fade.
- You were called to finish.
Listen now and take your place back on the front lines of the life God designed you to live.
