  • Return of the Monster (Feat. David Ziegler)
    Jan 7 2026

    Uncrowned Podcast with host Joe Buttice (Uncrowned Coach, formerly JB Motivation) speaks to men who train hard and want their faith to match their discipline. Expect a mix of Christian masculinity, men’s mental health, leadership, and fitness culture, built around structure, accountability, and living like you actually believe what you say you believe.

    In this episode, Joe reconnects with returning guest David “Ziegler Monster” Ziegler (creator, gym traveler, and one of the most positive voices in the lifting space). They break down David’s upcoming GuestPass app, built to help lifters find legit gyms while traveling, especially those low-key, independently owned “hidden gem” spots that barely show up online. The conversation moves through hardcore gym culture in Japan, how social media split bodybuilding into “content fitness” vs. true competitive standards, and what it looks like to rebuild momentum after life knocks you flat. They also touch on competing strategy, long-form growth on YouTube, and why building something real takes time, money, and patience.

    If you’re a man trying to level up physically without letting your faith and character stay skinny, you’ll fit here.

  • Respect and Love - Ephesians 5 on Husbands and Wives
    Oct 1 2025

    Welcome back to The Uncrowned Podcast—a movement calling men back to what God created us to be: God-first, faith-first, divine masculine expressed through character, discipline, and brotherhood. We don’t chase earthly crowns—we walk in calling.

    Today we tackle a verse everybody quotes but few practice well: “Wives, respect your husbands. Husbands, love your wives.” We break down what Ephesians 5:21–33 actually says (not memes, not hot takes), why respect and love are different but complementary, and what it means that husbands are called to love “as Christ loved the church”—which means die to self. We also get painfully practical with daily/weekly rhythms you can start tonight.

    Core Scriptures we unpack:

    • Mutual submission & marriage design (Eph 5:21–33; Gen 2:24).

    • Respect that can win a husband without words (1 Pet 3:1–2).

    • Husbands: love without harshness (Col 3:19).

    • Servant leadership & foot-washing (Matt 20:26–28; John 13).

    • Christ’s pattern of self-emptying (Phil 2:5–8).

    • What love looks like in conflict (1 Cor 13:4–7; Jas 1:19).

    We even zoom in on the Greek: agapaō (self-giving, chosen love) and phobeō (reverence/respect)—a lock and key that fit God’s design for covenant.

    7-Day Challenge
    • Husbands (tonight): Pray out loud with your wife for 30 sec, then ask, “What’s one weight I can shoulder for you this week?” (Eph 5:25; Col 3:19).

    • Wives (tonight): Say one sentence of respect: “I see how you ____ and I’m grateful.” (1 Pet 3:1–2; Eph 5:33).

    • Both: Memorize James 1:19—quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger—and use it in your next tough convo.

    Drop a ✅ when you finish Day 1. Tell me which you’re doubling down on this week—Respect or Love—and why.

    If this served you, follow/subscribe, rate & review, and share with one couple who needs a reset. For a God-first rule of life—Scripture rhythms, communication, conflict, leadership—apply for 1:1 coaching for men: butticejoe@gmail.com or @theuncrownedcoach on instagram and tiktok

  • Unqualified? A Wake-Up Call for Men — with Benjamin Williams
    Sep 24 2025

    I’m Joe Buttice, and in EP03 of The Uncrowned Podcast we press deeper into what this re-centering really means: God first, faith first, same core values—louder conviction. The Uncrowned is a movement calling men to what God created us to be. Not chasing earthly crowns—walking in calling. If you’ve felt “unqualified,” this one’s for you.

    I sit down with Benjamin Williams—husband of 22 years, father of 7, church elder, and creator @RelentlessPositivity. Ben shares a raw testimony: hedonism and addiction → Matthew 11:28 → repentance → a life rebuilt in Christ. We talk men’s mental health, the emptiness of success without God, and why mission > metrics in content and in life. I open up about rebuilding after addiction and social media burnout, and how purpose got louder when I stopped chasing vanity numbers and started chasing one transformed life at a time.

    We get real about today’s culture—civil discourse, traditional values, and why reclaiming Priest • Provider • Protector isn’t a slogan; it’s an assignment.

    • Priest: set the spiritual temperature at home and in community (Gen 18:19; Deut 6:7; Josh 24:15).

    • Provider: more than money—presence, formation, worship, brotherhood (1 Tim 5:8; Luke 5:16).

    • Protector: not just locks and fists—tone, patience, emotional safety (Eph 5:25; Jas 1:19; Col 3:19; 1 Pet 3:7).

    We wrestle with work, economy, and control, then anchor it in Matthew 6:33—seek first the Kingdom, steward hard, and trust God with the rest. We hit idolatry and distraction (“bread and circuses”), and why brotherhood matters now more than ever. If you’re looking for a practical primer on the masculine soul, Ben recommends Wild at Heart (Eldredge): a battle to fight, an adventure to live, a beauty to rescue.

    7-Day Challenge:

    • Priest: Read 1 Proverb daily and pray out loud for 30 seconds—by name.

    • Provider: Block 1 phone-free hour for wife/kids/brothers this week.

    • Protector: Ask, “What haven’t you felt safe to tell me?” Listen. Don’t defend. Pray together.

    If this hit your spirit, follow/subscribe, rate & review, and share with one brother who needs it today. Join the Uncrowned community for accountability and updates on retreats, and if you’re ready to build a God-first rule of life—habits, leadership, communication—my 1:1 coaching for men is open.

  • Rediscovering Purpose: The Uncrowned Journey
    Sep 10 2025
    After a Year of Silence: Uncrowned Podcast Returns with Renewed Faith, Purpose, and Brotherhood For the first time in a year, I’m sitting down in front of a microphone again. The past twelve months were a year of silence – no new podcast episodes, no social media motivation, just quiet. During that hiatus, I was wrestling with my own mind and soul. On the outside, I’m a Marine Corps veteran and men’s life coach known for uplifting others. On the inside, I was struggling with men’s mental health, facing creative burnout and even battling waves of depression. I had poured so much into helping others overcome their pain that I hadn’t fully acknowledged my own. When I finally hit a wall, it felt like depression and doubt had locked me in a lonely room, questioning my purpose and direction. What kept me going through those dark days was a spark of faith that refused to die out. In the stillness of that year-long break, I found myself praying more honestly than ever before. God met me in the silence. Little by little, I felt a pull back toward my calling. This wasn’t a lightning-bolt moment or a quick fix. It was more like a gentle nudge, a divine redirection that guided me out of the gloom. I realized I couldn’t carry these burdens alone. So I leaned into my faith and reached out to a few close brothers for support. That combination of honest prayer, faith-based self-development, and brotherhood became my lifeline and the path to reclaiming the fire I thought I had lost. A Year of Silence and Creative Burnout: Facing My Own Mental Health Crisis Going silent for a year wasn’t a marketing move or a planned sabbatical—it was pure survival. I hit a point of creative burnout where the passion I once had for sharing my voice just fizzled out. Every time I tried to record an episode or write a post, I felt empty. Instead of forcing it, I stepped back completely. At first, I felt guilty and even ashamed about needing a break. Wasn’t I supposed to be the strong one? As a former Marine, I’ve pushed through all kinds of pain. And as a men’s life coach, I often encourage other men to speak up about mental health. Yet there I was, unable to find words for my own struggles. Admitting that I felt broken and depressed was humbling and hard. It meant confronting the stigma around men’s mental health head-on, even within myself. During that quiet year, I learned to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. Some days I journaled my thoughts; other days I just sat in prayer asking God why I felt so lost. There were mornings I woke up with a weight on my chest, the kind that makes it hard to even get out of bed. I wondered if my season of purpose had passed. But in that stillness, I also started to hear a whisper of hope. It’s amazing how, when everything else is quiet, God’s voice becomes clearer. Through late-night conversations with my wife and heartfelt talks with close friends, I began to see that taking care of my own mind and spirit wasn’t weakness—it was necessary. This period of silence and reflection was painful, but it was also healing. It forced me to prioritize my mental health as a man and get real about emotions I had buried for years. Christian Masculinity and a God-First Lifestyle: Rediscovering What It Means to Be a Man of Faith As I worked through my internal battles, I found myself reexamining what being a man truly means to me. I’ve always identified with being a tough guy—the Marine, the weightlifter, the provider. But during my hiatus, I felt God reminding me that Christian masculinity isn’t about never cracking or always having the answers. It’s about humility, faith, and leading with love. True strength can mean having the courage to say, “I need help” or “I can’t do this alone.” This was a wake-up call that living a God-first lifestyle had to be more than a slogan. I started making my relationship with God the foundation of my day-to-day life again, not just something I squeezed in on Sunday. Putting God first changed how I saw my responsibilities and ambitions. Instead of measuring myself by career success or macho standards, I started focusing on character and faithfulness. I asked God to guide my decisions—whether it was how I spent my mornings or how I could return to podcasting with the right heart. Slowly, I felt my purpose being renewed. The more I leaned into prayer and scripture, the more my identity shifted from “Joe, the guy who has it all together” to “Joe, a servant of God trying to live with purpose.” In practical terms, that meant starting each day with prayer, getting back into reading the Bible for wisdom, and being present with my family and community in ways I hadn’t before. I can’t emphasize enough how much relief it brought to let go of my ego and let God lead. This is what faith-based self-development looked like for me: less of me trying to control everything, and more trusting God to shape me. It’s an...
