## Resource

What makes someone a hero, and why do we need them? Reggie and Brian unpack the psychology and cultural pull of heroes, then contrast a worldly hero with a Christ-like hero who points beyond himself. They talk childhood and personal heroes, why culture can distort heroism, and why biblical heroes (including Samson) are both inspiring and sobering. The episode closes with practical ways to pursue courage and sacrificial leadership in everyday life. Scripture referenced: 1 Corinthians 11:1; Philippians 3:17; Hebrews 13:7; Joshua 1:9
