The Man Identity
The Man Identity is the podcast dedicated to calling up young men into purposeful manhood which is ultimately found in Jesus Christ and being the Man God created us to be. While much of our present world sets itself against them, our goal is not to merely point a finger at all the problems, but rather to build hope, clarity, and strength into young men today who are desperately searching for purpose.
Host, Pastor and Author, Steve Hinton, along with Co-Host Matthias Tinnin, Personal Trainer, Youtuber, and church volunteer, offer a clear voice of hope by facing tough issues head on, throwing down weekly challenges, and having some fun along the way.
Because solid manhood isn’t automatic, but a choice, we’re here to walk alongside you and encourage you to live out your authentic identity in being made in the image of God for a purpose larger than you’ve ever imagined possible before.
