The Man Warrior King Podcast - Confident Christian Men and Passionate Marriages
Hosted by Matt Hallock - Christian Manhood and Marriage Coach · EN
Faith and masculinity meet kingdom living to help Christian husbands rebuild their confidence and masculine strength, so they can enjoy attraction-filled and passionate marriages.
You want to live a life on fire and on mission.
You want to be filled with such conviction and drive that you stop caring about what ANYone thinks.
You want to face each day alive, authentic, and fully present in every moment: with your wife, kids, on the street, at the gym, at work.
You want to bring yourSELF to the table, and to stop bringing the watered-down, nice, what everyone wants version of you.
You want that self to be a man who is burning in passion for Jesus, unafraid to bring his kingdom to anyone in your path, no matter the cost.
You want to love the one in front of you without fear, without needing love back, and without reserve.
You want to experience God for real, to not just believe, but to KNOW that he’s got you and that he’ll show up on your behalf. That he’ll show up THROUGH you.
You want to get to the end of your race and say, “Yep…I gave it everything. Jesus, you know I’m all in.”
...And you want to know just how to get there.
Welcome to Man Warrior King. Congratulations. You are among the violent taking the kingdom by force. You are among the chosen, answering the call to rise above your self. You are in the forge being stripped down and strengthened—and you WILL rise stronger, solid, unshakeable.
You are a man. You are a warrior. You are a king.

Ep. 100 - Adam, the Example of the Hovering Puppy Dog Husband
Nov 1500:30:01Tap to summarizeToo many Christian husbands have been discipled into hovering puppy dogs instead of dangerous, mission-driven men of God. We’ve been told “love your wife, be nice, serve more, be patient”… but nobody showed us EXACTLY how Adam lost his wife’s respect or how Song of Solomon shows a wife who can’t keep her hands off her man.In this episode, we go deep into Genesis 2–3 and Song of Solomon to expose how Adam laid down his mission, orbitted his wife like a desperate puppy, and opened the door to the serpent. Then we contrast that with a king on mission whose bride says, “Draw me after you—let us run.” If you’ve felt like a different man at work than you are at home… if your wife feels cold, critical, or distant… this is going to punch you in the chest in the best way.We’ll talk about how to stop obsessively hovering around your wife, reclaim your God-given mission, rebuild her respect, and invite her back into your chambers as a confident, grounded, masculine husband. Not by getting louder or harsher—but by becoming a man who is validated by God, rooted in identity, and willing to set boundaries and lead.🔥 If you’re done being the hovering puppy dog husband and you want help becoming the man your wife is actually wired to desire…– Grab my book “The DNA of a Man” and its Tactical Guide --DNA: https://a.co/d/1hMbidV --DNA Tactical Guide: https://a.co/d/imX1ftD– Watch the free training on how to stop being a Hovering Puppy Dog Husband below: --Free training: https://www.skool.com/man-warrior-king-4628/about– And if your marriage is really on the ropes, apply to work with me so we can go after this together. -- https://tidycal.com/manwarriorking/free-rebuild-coaching-callYou don’t have to stay stuck in a cold, resentful, sexless marriage.

Jul 16, 202500:24:17Tap to summarizeSummaryIn this episode, Matt Hallock discusses the detrimental effects of 'niceness' in marriage, contrasting it with the concept of 'kingdom masculinity.'
