Respected at Work but NOT at Home? Getting the Respect You Crave - Message at the MAG EP 959
Are you respected at work—but ignored at home? Do the people who know you best actually respect you? In this weeks message, Jim Ramos unpacks what Scripture says about being a respected man—not a compartmentalized one. Drawing from Job 29 and real-life experience, he challenges men to stop “waffling” between roles and start living as integrated, whole men whose lives are worth imitating. You'll see why respect must be earned, not demanded and how one practical step can identify where you’re “waffling” and grow stronger.

5 Surprising Lessons Pastors Should Learn from Normal Guys - Equipping Men in Ten EP 954
Are paid pastors actually more spiritually mature than the men in the pews? Why do so many leaders burn out while everyday laymen quietly endure? What if the men who don’t get paid for ministry are often the ones doing it best? In this Equipping Men in 10 episode, Jim Ramos looks back to his late 20s and early 30s in ministry and exposes a pattern he couldn’t ignore. This episode isn’t about tearing down pastors—it’s about learning from the faith, grit, and longevity of everyday men who quietly walk with God year after year. You'll get a freash perspective on why longevity matters more than position in the Kingdom of God and the danger of vocational ministry replacing genuine devotion.

Why God's Design for Healing Starts With What You EAT w/ Alex Morgan EP 953
What if the food you’re eating every day is either helping you heal—or slowly breaking you down? And what if God designed your body with the capacity to heal when you fuel it the right way? In this Expert Interview, Jim Ramos sits down with Alex Morgan, author of Designed to Heal, to unpack the powerful connection between food, lifestyle, and whole-person health. Alex shares the deeply personal story behind the book and how a return to organic, whole foods played a critical role. Together, they dive into alarming health trends in the U.S., the root causes of chronic inflammation, and why modern diets are working against the body instead of with it. You’ll walk away with some practical ways to start caring for the body God gave you.
