We ask one question to every man who sits down with us: What is the biggest problem men are facing in society based on your experience and perspective?For Joshua — former Marine, 14-year firefighter, and founder of Journey to Jericho — the answer came without hesitation: identity crisis. Not knowing who we are when God calls us sons. Living like orphans instead of children who are fully adopted, fully gifted, fully loved.This episode, recorded with Joshua joining from his hot rod shop in Columbia, Tennessee, is one of the most spiritually rich and tactically practical conversations We Take the Stairs has had. Joshua doesn't just talk theology. He runs a literal shop where fatherless young men learn to weld, grind, and turn wrenches — while quietly, patiently, being shown what an authentic man actually looks like. His own story, marked by a broken home and one Vietnam veteran named Ray who changed everything in six Saturdays, grounds everything he teaches.GuestJoshua — Founder of Journey to Jericho, a mentorship ministry based in Columbia, Tennessee, that uses a hot rod shop to build relationships with fatherless young men. A former Marine and 14-year firefighter, Joshua left a stable career and moved his family across the country in obedience to what he believed God was calling him to do.Chapters00:00 — The One Question: Identity Crisis03:30 — The Three P's: Power, Productivity, Prosperity09:00 — Journey to Jericho: The Hot Rod Shop With a Deeper Mission16:00 — Ray: The Man Who Changed Everything in Six Saturdays23:00 — Hitting Rock Bottom at 30 — and the Prayer That Changed His Life33:00 — Friend, Mirror, Minister: How Real Mentorship Works39:00 — The Lamb and the Lion: Redefining What a Husband Is For46:00 — Testimony: A Family Restored Through One Small Act of Showing Up58:00 — The Traps Keeping Men Stuck — Power, Comfort & Noise01:06:00 — Leaving Comfort: The Move to Tennessee & the Church That Pushed BackKey Topics CoveredIdentity Crisis — Joshua's answer cuts to the foundation: men were never meant to live as orphans, figuring it out alone, when they've actually been adopted as sons. Everything else — power, productivity, prosperity — is built on this one cornerstone.The Three P's — Power, productivity, prosperity. Joshua names the worldly substitutes men chase instead of sonship, and why even the richest men he's met are often the most miserable.Ray: The First Real Man — Joshua's foundational story. A Vietnam Marine who watched him and his brother for six Saturdays, taught him to weld, and modeled something Joshua had never seen — honoring his wife as his prize. That moment became the question Joshua chased for the next twenty years.The 30th Birthday Breaking Point — After years of performing discipline without a changed heart, Joshua hit bottom and cried out to God to either kill him or change him. That surrender — not effort — was the beginning of real transformation.Friend, Mirror, Minister — Joshua's framework for mentoring young men: build trust as a friend, reflect Christ's light as a mirror, then minister from that place of earned trust. Skip a step and the whole thing breaks down.The Lamb and the Lion — One of the most theologically rich moments of the episode. The Jews wanted a warrior king. They got a sacrificial lamb. Joshua applies this directly to husbands: leadership through sacrifice, not domination.A Family Restored — Joshua shares the story of a mother and two adult children, each carrying wounds from church hurt, slowly restored through nine months of simply showing up — no agenda, no lectures, just consistent presence.Comfort as the Enemy — When Joshua left a stable 14-year firefighting career to move his family to a town he'd never visited, the harshest pushback came from fellow believers. Joshua's takeaway: comfort had become their idol, and his obedience exposed it.Books Referenced📖 Wild at Heart — John Eldredge — "I want to be rather than to appear."Key Quotes"If I am his son, I no longer have to live as an orphan. I no longer have to figure it out on my own." — Joshua"It's not what they do, but it's who they are." — Joshua"Identity found in anything other than Christ is absolutely futile." — Joshua"Comfort is one of our worst enemies. Enjoy it while you got it. Do not let it become your god." — Joshua"A generation will grow great when old men are willing to plant trees they will never sit under." — Joshua"A son cannot give what he has not received." — JoshuaPractical TakeawaysAsk God ten thousand questions instead of relying on your own wisdom.Invite one young man for a cup of coffee — that's a touch point, not a small thing.Take the tactical pause. Stop, ask the Father who he says you are, and let him answer.Christian podcast for menmale identity crisis faithbiblical sonship and identitymen's mentorship ministryChristian men's podcast fatherless generation
