Let's be honest, most men drift. We wake up, we scroll, we work, and then we just rinse and repeat,

and we know we're softer than we should be. That's why I built the 31-day resilience reset.

This is not a devotional. It is a field manual for men ready to stop drifting and start fighting back.

So for 31 days, you'll train your spirit, mind, and body with scripture, prayer, and daily challenges

that forge real resilience. Go to www.undaunted.combe, www.org, slash 31 days to download

this resource for free. That's undaunted.combe, life slash 31 days. your reset today this is on This is Undaunted Life a Man's podcast.

I'm your host Kyle Thompson.

Let's get into it.

Mark Hitchcock, you're here.

You're in the studio.

It finally happened.

Here I am in flesh.

Yeah, now I've been asked about this quite a bit because I get a lot of questions about kind of where I go to church and like, what does the church believe and, you know, how did you end up there and, you know, we'll get into some of that. But everyone's like super curious if they've, if they're not familiar with your work or if they're not really in the world of eschatology in times too much. They're like, you know, who's this guy? And like, because you've been my pastor

for, I really got to figure out when I became a member, but I think it was six or seven years

or something like that. So there's a lot of people that are pretty excited about this because

they're like, I could see them preach and I can see the YouTube videos, but I don't normally get

to see kind of like the chill sitting at the table kind of a thing. No, it's good. Yeah. I mean, it's a great opportunity just to talk and for me to, you know, get to know some of the folks that listen to your podcast and for them to get to know a little bit more about me and, you know, the church you go to. And so I think we're to be a lot of wide-ranging topics today, so a lot of different things. So that's great. I'm looking, I look forward to Ella. I love this kind of format. I don't get to do it often enough. Right. Well, I mean, the first place to kind of start would be, I'm always curious,

like if people go into the military or for people go into ministry or something like that, like what was the thing that kind of ended up there? Because a lot of people are like, well, I wasn't five years old thinking I would be a green beret. And a lot of people, I wasn't, you know,

10 years old sitting there in school daydreaming about being a preacher someday or something like

that. So for you, like, what was kind of that pathway that took you towards ministry? Well, I grew up in a great Christian family at a great church. My pastors were all from Dallas Seminary, and so I really learned a lot about the Bible when I was growing up. And there was a time I remember distinctly

when I was around 12 years old, 12 years of age, a pastor was there and was preaching about people

kind of being called the ministry. And our church wasn't an emotional kind of type of a church.
