Could your generosity be misunderstood? Are you unknowingly opening a door that leads to temptation, for you or for someone else? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with Mike Stepper to tackle a subtle but powerful issue: how you give gifts matters more than you think.

Men in the Arena - Christian Men's Podcast
Why are men so easily drawn to the female form? When does attraction turn into distraction—or even idolatry? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with Barry Myers to have a conversation the Church often avoids: men’s tendency to elevate the female body to a place it was never meant to hold.
