March or Die

“The design is that men would be protectors, leaders, providers” yet our culture seems determined to erase that calling through a war on masculinity. In this March or Die episode, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard expose the spiritual and cultural war on masculinity, trace its roots back to Genesis, and show why fatherless homes, rising violence, and confusion about gender roles are no accident. More than analysis, they deliver a roadmap: accept God-given responsibility, lead with sacrificial humility, surround yourself with brothers who sharpen you, and start right where you are imperfect but present. Whether you’re a husband, dad, single man, or a woman who cares about the men in her life, you’ll find truth, encouragement, and practical steps to stand in the gap. Watch, share, and join the movement to build men who march forward instead of staying where they are and dying.

In this episode of March or Die, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard sit down with Matthew Gay, author of Fit Church and founder of FIT Church United, to unpack his powerful story of redemption, purpose, and calling. After surviving a devastating car accident that should have left him paralyzed, or worse, Matthew discovered that God had more for him. Raised by immigrant parents and scarred by a broken relationship with his father, Matt’s early life spiraled into rebellion, addiction, and eventually jail. But when tragedy struck, everything changed. In the wreckage, God met him, and rebuilt him physically, spiritually, and missionally. Now, Matthew is on a mission to bridge the gap between physical health and spiritual purpose, helping churches and believers become fit for the calling God has placed on their lives. This isn’t about vanity, it’s about stewardship, identity, and becoming battle-ready for the life God has called you to live.

Spiritual Warfare is real, so what does the Bible say about it and how can we get in the fight? Spiritual warfare isn’t a myth, it’s the biblical reality behind the pressure you feel at work, the conflict at home, and the doubts in your mind.
