## Resource

What if the greatest threat to a man’s life isn’t failure… but lack of purpose ? In Episode 144 of the Unleashed Podcast , Brent Henderson launches a powerful five-week series based on The Big 5 Mankillers: Declawing the Lies of the Enemy . This first episode tackles the #1 mankiller—lack of purpose —and how it quietly erodes a man’s identity, motivation, and direction. Through gripping storytelling—including a real-life African rhino encounter and unforgettable moments from First Blood and Braveheart —Brent exposes the two dangerous ways purposelessness shows up: drifting in apathy … or driving endlessly in pursuit of more . Different paths. Same destination. At the core of both is a lie many men carry: “I’m not enough.” In this episode, you’ll discover: Why so many men feel stuck, restless, or unfulfilled How waiting seasons may actually be preparation—not punishment Where true purpose really comes from (and where it doesn’t) Why your past doesn’t disqualify you from your calling If you’ve ever felt like there has to be more… this episode will hit home. You were created on purpose… for a purpose.
