This is a podcast for men who are tired of feeling stuck… tired of chasing approval… and ready to discover who they truly are in Christ. Brent unpacks the battles every man faces—purpose, identity, anger, lust, shame—and gives you practical, biblical tools to break free from unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and actions. This isn’t about behavior modification. It’s about transformation. Because when a man knows who he is… everything changes.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-29T00:17:35.752425+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/unleashed-6461450"},"episode":{"title":"Keep Checking The Stringer","slug":"keep-checking-the-stringer","published_at":"2026-06-28T20:34:32+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/unleashed-6461450/keep-checking-the-stringer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/unleashed-6461450","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/unleashedpodcast/2949071","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/146594/2949071/unleashedpodcast/2026_06_28_20_34_26_68cf3fa5-0144-46e8-bc07-87a7d29512fa.mp3","summary":"What if the greatest loss in your life didn't happen during the fight—but after the victory? In Episode 155 of Unleashed , Brent Henderson shares the unforgettable story of landing the biggest northern pike of his life on Big McKenzie Lake in northern Wisconsin... only to lose it hours later without even realizing it. That true story becomes a powerful illustration of how marriages, families, friendships, and even our relationship with God can slowly drift when we stop checking on what matters most. Along the way, Brent takes listeners from the icy waters of Alaska and giant halibut to a quiet Wisconsin lake, weaving together unforgettable outdoor adventures with timeless biblical truth. Through the life of Samson, he reminds us that our greatest strength has never come from our abilities—it comes from our relationship with God. If you've been so busy building a career, chasing success, growing a ministry, or simply surviving life's demands that you've neglected the relationships that matter most, this episode is for you. You'll discover why the biggest losses in life rarely happen all at once... and why it's time to keep checking the stringer . In this episode: • A true story of a 47-inch northern pike that got away • The hidden danger of spiritual drift • What Samson's life teaches every man about compromise • Why healthy marriages and families require intentional investment • How to protect what matters most before it's too late Whether you're a fisherman, hunter, outdoorsman, husband, father, or simply a man striving to follow Christ, this episode will challenge you to take a fresh look at the relationships God has entrusted to you.
