How major secular voices are unintentionally pointing people to Jesus. 14:51 — The power of habits in discipleship Why the church must shift from “helping people make better decisions” to forming spiritual habits that shape a life with Christ. 19:51 — Discipling men: the challenge and the opportunity How masculinity was hollowed out culturally, what filled the void (Andrew Tate, Goggins, Rogan), and how the church can offer a better, biblical way. 23:36 — Inside Memento: a 63-day Lenten formation journey A historic, habit-based pathway including: Morning & evening prayer, New Testament reading plan, Eliminating the snooze button, Food fasting (incl. Wed/Fri structure), Technology limits, Uplifting-only music/media, Cold exposure, Brotherhood-based fraternities 31:51 — Why these disciplines work How discomfort exposes deeper spiritual issues (gluttony, sloth, pride) and opens paths toward genuine transformation. 42:51 — The seven deadly sins and why they still matter Why sins like greed, pride, and envy are almost invisible today — and how disciplines help uncover and heal them. 46:51 — The necessity of brotherhood Why Memento cannot be done alone. How weekly gatherings and daily check-ins create the accountability men need to grow. 53:51 — Why Memento costs money A transparent look at high-quality production, app development, devotion writing, and why buy-in produces better outcomes. 57:51 — What happens if 5,000 men go through Memento?
