Most men don’t realize how much of their life is shaped by the people around them.
Not by Scripture.
Not by conviction.
But by pressure, expectations, and the steady pull to fit in.

So let me ask you:
Who is calling the shots in your life when you’re not thinking about it?
Whose approval affects the way you speak, act, or stay silent?
And how much of your faith is something you live—versus something you set aside when it feels inconvenient?

In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow expose the outside influences that quietly redirect men every day. They talk about how subtle pressure erodes conviction, why so many Christians adjust their faith depending on the setting, and what it looks like to finally stand firm with clarity and purpose.

Before you can answer what you believe, you have to understand what’s been shaping you.
If you're ready for a direct, honest conversation, this one matters.
