With the vast amount of information that we have access to, there is confusion as to how one should perceive the world. Reggie and Brian are two guys who seek to share their journey and wisdom garnered from their faith and life experience to lend a hand in understanding the reality we live in. We, as men, are here on this earth to be leaders, husbands, fathers, sons, friends, brothers, uncles, nephews, and witnesses. R & B Talks is one place where we try to cut through the noise of the culture and the world and help give some real transparent views on important aspects of life, men, Christianity, or whatever comes up. Join us as we have real unscripted discussions about issues and life. Just 2 guys in 2 chairs talking. ------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@randbtalks Check us out on Instagram: https://instagram.com/randbtalks?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095476576481&mibextid=LQQJ4d Also available as a podcast on your favorite platform or via RSS feed here: https://media.rss.com/randbtalks/feed.xml","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T10:19:49.192208+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719"},"episode":{"title":"EP115 - Heroes: Biblical vs Worldly (and How to Become One)","slug":"ep115-heroes-biblical-vs-worldly-and-how-to-become-one","published_at":"2025-12-17T01:36:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719/ep115-heroes-biblical-vs-worldly-and-how-to-become-one","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/randbtalks/2395787","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/217506/2395787/randbtalks/2025_12_17_01_36_39_55e11ec5-63fa-421d-857c-8b9517b40560.mp3","summary":"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","meta_description":"What makes someone a hero, and why do we need them?
