"The Thinking of Men: Part One"

About this episode

The episode explores how men can better understand their decision-making processes by distinguishing between instinct and conviction through a faith-based lens.

Most men believe they think clearly. But what if much of our thinking is simply inherited, emotional, or shaped by whatever voice is loudest in the moment? You don’t have to wait for a crisis to see what governs you. Look at your daily decisions. What defines “right” in your home? What defines “fair” at work? What defines “good” in your conversations? This week on "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow walk through a real decision that forced a choice: follow instinct — or follow Scripture. You’ll hear how to slow your thinking down. How to separate reaction from conviction. How to orient yourself before you act. If you want steadier judgment… If you want your decisions to reflect your faith — not your emotions… If you want to lead your family with clarity instead of impulse… Listen.
