Have you ever cared about someone so much that the thought of losing them hits you before anything actually happens?

Not because they’re pulling away.

Not because they’re doing anything wrong.

But because somewhere deep inside… you’re terrified you’re not enough to keep them close.

Men don’t talk about this.

We talk about loyalty, strength, responsibility — but not the fear that sits in our chest when someone we love goes quiet.

Today, we’re going to talk about the fear of losing people.

Not just partners — anyone.

Friends. Family. Mentors. Brothers.

The people who matter.

And we’re going to talk about the cycle that fear creates…

and how to break it…. Welcome to Outspoken.

“If I had known then what I know now, I would’ve walked right past a whole lot of people.”

That’s a heavy truth, man. Because hindsight cuts deep—it shows us the faces we should’ve passed by, the voices we should’ve tuned out, and the paths we should’ve never taken.

Exactly. And yet, every wrong crowd, every wasted moment—it all taught us something. It sharpened our vision for the kind of love, the kind of friendship, the kind of life we refuse to compromise on now.

So this episode isn’t about regret—it’s about clarity. It’s about realizing not everyone deserves a seat at your table, not everyone deserves access to your heart, and not everyone is meant to walk beside you.

And when you know better, you love better.

And when you love better, you live freer.

“Walk past the wrong people… so you can walk into freedom.” This is Outspoken!!

The "Christmas Blues" (or holiday blues) are temporary feelings of sadness, loneliness, stress, or anxiety during the festive season, stemming from financial worries, grief, unmet expectations, or family issues, that often end up easing after the holidays...

Given foreigners intrigue for American history and cultural storytelling, people always found America’s early expansion—marked by the Wild West, pioneering adventures, and legendary figures like Wyatt Earp—especially fascinating. The frontier spirit played a crucial role in shaping the nation’s identity, and uncovering those stories feels like stepping into the past, however… In the midst of political and social division, we often lose sight of the privilege of calling this nation home. While some criticize what it stands for, many outsiders—both visitors and residents—admire its cultural diversity and the beauty found within its borders. Perhaps those who were not born here see America through a different lens, appreciating opportunities and freedoms that those accustomed to them may take for granted. What separates their perspective from ours? Is it the absence of complacency, a deeper sense of gratitude, or simply the contrast between their past and this new reality?

Join Joe & Jay this week as they dive into the Thanksgiving holiday and it's many iterations as families gather and decide to get along or, argue over who made the best pumpkin pie. Is Thanksgiving a holiday to be celebrated or, is it just another celebration of consumerism and gluttony.

You ever feel like your past is chasing you? Like every mistake, every wrong turn, every empty connection… it’s still there, whispering that you’re not enough?

For years, that was me. Chasing pleasure, chasing attention, chasing something I thought would fill the void. But the void didn’t get filled — it got louder.

Until something changed. Something bigger than me. Faith stepped in. And suddenly, the things I thought mattered… didn’t. The desires that once ruled me… didn’t.

This isn’t just a story about dating or lust. It’s about a heart rebuilt. A man learning that real love doesn’t burn fast — it lasts. Real love doesn’t take — it gives.

This is the journey from flesh to faith. From lust to love. And it’s where peace meets purpose.

Join Joe & Jay this week for their special report on the genocide happening in Nigeria & other parts of Africa. Christian persecution in Africa, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, is a severe and escalating issue, with the region identified as the most violent place in the world for Christians as Muslim extremists continue to hunt Christians and eradicate them all in the name of Islam. Nigeria is considered the epicenter, though violence also affects countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.
