In the Season 3 premiere of Men of Faith, Caleb Cole and Mark McGovern challenge the modern church mindset of spectating. The early church wasn’t built on watching services — it was built on prayer, community, and spiritual participation. This episode is a call-up for men to stop staying passive and start praying with boldness, consistency, and unity.

Legacy isn’t built in moments of spotlight — it’s built in the quiet, faithful choices made day after day.

In this special season finale crossover of Men of Faith and Project Sisterhood, Caleb and Chrissy Cole sit down with Caleb’s parents, Randy and Joanne Cole, for an honest, moving conversation about faith, family, and the kind of legacy that truly lasts.

Randy and Joanne share what 45+ years of marriage, parenting, ministry, and everyday obedience have taught them — from raising children without perfection, to leading with humility, to trusting God with outcomes they couldn’t control.

This episode is for:
• Parents wondering if the small things matter
• Leaders who feel unseen
• Couples navigating seasons of faithfulness
• Anyone who wants their life to mean something beyond themselves

In this conversation, you’ll learn:
• Why consistency matters more than charisma
• How ordinary obedience produces generational fruit
• What it really means to release your children to God
• How to stay faithful when results aren’t immediate
• Why legacy is built at home long before it’s seen publicly

This is a reminder that the faith you live today may be shaping generations you’ll never fully see — and that’s exactly how God designed it.

Before we ask God to bless what’s next, we need to steward what’s right now.

In this crossover conversation, Pastor Caleb and Chrissy Cole unpack what the Bible teaches about stewardship — not just with money, but with time, relationships, leadership, gifts, parenting, and spiritual discipline.

From Christmas budgets to Amazon boxes, generosity to self-control, and priorities to purpose, this episode blends conviction and laughter as the Coles share their own struggles and lessons around living with intention.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, undisciplined, behind financially, or spiritually stuck, this episode will help you see stewardship not as pressure…

but as an invitation to freedom, clarity, and God’s blessing.

In this episode you’ll learn:
💰 How to stop living beyond your means
🕒 Why time stewardship affects everything else
🌱 How God grows what you faithfully manage
👨‍👩‍👧 Practical ways to teach kids generosity
🎁 Why giving is deeply spiritual, not seasonal
🔥 The difference between “praying for blessing” and “preparing for blessing”

Whether you struggle with budgets, boundaries, discipline, or distraction — this conversation will call you up, not out.

If Jesus sat next to you while you scrolled, watched Netflix, listened to music, or opened TikTok…
would you still press play?

In this challenging and transparent episode of Men of Faith, Pastor Caleb Cole sits down with Rudy to unpack how entertainment, media, music, and culture shape our hearts — often more than we realize.

Rudy shares his journey from compromise, numbness, and casual faith… to conviction, alignment, and real transformation. This episode isn’t about legalism — it’s about holiness, awareness, and spiritual ownership.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, spiritually dull, or wondered why God feels distant — this conversation might be the reset button you’ve needed.

You’ll hear:
🎧 How music, shows, and media disciple us more than we think
🔥 Why conviction isn’t punishment — it’s invitation
⚔️ How to stop making peace with what’s killing your spiritual life
👀 Questions every man should ask before pressing play
💡 What happens when you finally decide to live set apart

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about intentionality.
And it might change the way you watch, listen, and live.

Not every man inherits a healthy legacy. Some are handed trauma, addiction, abandonment, and broken patterns — but you don’t have to pass them on.

In this powerful Men of Faith episode, Sam Fleury sits down with Caleb Cole to share the moment that changed his entire future — the day he broke his family’s generational curse.

Sam opens up about growing up without his mother for 16 years, navigating dysfunction, and battling the fear that he was destined to repeat the same patterns he came from. But at 18 years old, with barely any money and a lot of courage, Sam bought a plane ticket back to Washington to stand in front of his mom and say the words that would change their family forever:

“I forgive you.”

That one act of obedience unlocked a miracle:
🔥 His mom entered a Dream Center
🔥 She was set free from addiction
🔥 She found salvation and purpose
🔥 She now serves faithfully in her church
🔥 And Sam is raising his own children with a brand new legacy

This conversation is raw, emotional, and deeply hopeful. It’s a reminder that healing is possible — and that one brave decision can transform generations.

What You’ll Learn:
✔️ How to break generational patterns
✔️ Why forgiveness is the starting point of freedom
✔️ How fathers shape the future of their homes
✔️ Why your “yes” to God impacts your children
✔️ The danger of hiding instead of healing

If you’re a dad, a son, or a man ready to stop running from your past, this episode will challenge you — and call you UP.

Everyone’s triggered by something — but what happens when you stay that way?

In this crossover episode of Men of Faith and Project Sisterhood, Caleb and Chrissy Cole get real about offense: how it creeps in, how it poisons your peace, and how forgiveness is the only way to freedom.

They talk about marriage fights (yes, real ones 😅), faith, pride, and why the Bible calls overlooking offense a glory.

Whether it’s your spouse, your boss, or someone online — this conversation will help you learn to laugh again, let go, and live unoffended.

What You’ll Learn:
⚡ Why offense always starts with pride
💬 The difference between reacting and responding
🧠 How to guard your heart when you’ve been hurt
🙌 Why forgiveness is the only path to real peace

Don’t just stay triggered — try forgiveness.

Stories shape men. Stories shape families. Stories shape faith.

This is a conversation about worldview, discernment, raising kids with wisdom, and building a home culture that actually reflects Jesus.
