One quality makes a man worth following. This is what they'll remember at your funeral? 08/12/2026

One quality makes a man worth following. This is what they'll remember at your funeral? God doesn't use the word hate often. Four of the things he says it about come down to one question: does your word mean anything? In this episode of Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast, Steve Altmeyer opens with a question he turns on himself first: if you got one thing said about you at the end of your life, what would you want it to be? Bold and real like most won't talk about. In this episode: - The four things God says outright that he hates - Why the man God chose to spotlight wasn't famous, rich, or a pastor - The three things men most often trade their word for - What it costs a kid when his dad's word doesn't hold - Where Steve has seen the least integrity in 40 years of ministry WHAT WE STAND ON Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose the third day, and that is the ground under everything on this channel. No man cleans himself up first — we are saved by grace through faith, not by anything we produced. It is his kindness that leads a man to repentance, and repentance is required, because it is how a man receives that grace. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 · Romans 2:4 · Romans 5:8 · Ephesians 2:8-9 · 1 John 5:11-13 CHAPTERS 0:00 If you got one thing said about you, what would it be? 1:27 Search me, O God — he already knows your thoughts 3:44 Why this is at crisis level right now 5:13 The foundation of God's throne is truth 6:50 The man God spotlighted wasn't famous 8:25 What the Bible's word for integrity actually means 9:56 What really upsets God 11:26 Four things God hates: a lying tongue 11:57 What to do when your kids lie 12:55 A false witness 14:32 Breaking a vow 16:31 A mouth that opposes the truth 17:22 "I'm an honest guy" — let's look closer 18:45 Why most men sell it: money 19:58 Where I've seen the least integrity 20:49 Telling the pastor "great sermon" when you disagree 21:38 "I'll pray for you" — and you never do 22:57 Why young people are walking away from the faith 25:02 The two boys and the uniforms 28:25 Why they didn't listen 30:34 What men trade their word for: money, food, being liked 32:49 Saul and David — how each one took correction 35:46 Nobody can correct a man about his wife or his kids 36:39 Some men won't make it, and it'll surprise us 40:08 What God says about liars 43:21 The man who lost his head over telling the truth 44:53 Closing SCRIPTURE IN THIS EPISODE Genesis 25:29–34 · Deuteronomy 19:15 · Joshua 7 · Judges 16:4–21 · 1 Samuel 15 · 2 Samuel 12:1–13 · Job 1:1, 2:3, 2:9 · Psalm 139:23–24 · Proverbs 6:16–19 · Proverbs 8:13 · Malachi 2:14–16 · Matthew 11:11 · Matthew 26:14–16 · Matthew 28:11–15 · Mark 6:17–18 · John 3:30 · Romans 2:4 · Romans 5:8 · 1 Corinthians 7:12–14 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Ephesians 2:8–9 · Ephesians 6:4 · Revelation 21:27 · Revelation 22:14–15 · 1 John 5:11–13 ABOUT THE SHOW Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast is turning the hearts of men toward God, fighting for marriage and family, and equipping men to lead with character, conviction, courage, and compassion.

Saved But Nothing Changed? Here's what's missing. 08/09/2026

Saved But Nothing Changed? Here's what's missing. You prayed the prayer. You go to church. Nothing actually changed. The gospel you were handed was missing a word. In this episode of Chosen to Lead Men's Podcast, Steve Altmeyer asks men the question most churches avoid: if you're saved, why does nothing look different? Bold and real like most won't talk about. In this episode: - Why you can pray the prayer and still not change - What "God loves you" leaves out, and why nobody told you - The word your church stopped preaching - Why feeling bad about sin isn't the same as turning from it - How to tell if something real actually happened to you WHAT WE STAND ON Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose the third day, and that is the ground under everything on this channel.
