In this episode of Dear Brothers, Dr. Jackson Taylor talks about one of the most misunderstood substances in the modern world — nicotine. We break down what it really is, how it works in the body, and why it’s not the villain most men think it is. From smoking and dipping to vapes and pouches, we’ll explore how many people are using it today, its effects on focus and performance, and how to approach it with discipline, not dependence.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17, ESV)

Many men love to quote this verse — few live it.

True brotherhood isn’t comfort, it’s confrontation. It’s learning to accept correction, face the dullness of your own blade, and become sharper through the friction of truth and accountability.

In this week’s Sunday Sermon, we look deeper at what it means to be refined by other men — and why the sharpening process is necessary if we’re ever going to become who God called us to be.

In this episode of Dear Brothers, Dr. Jackson Taylor talks about the discipline of rising early — not just from bed, but into purpose. Drawing from Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic call to duty, we explore what it means to reject comfort, wake up with conviction, and start the day as men who are called to work, lead, and serve.

Every man carries something—but few carry it willingly. In Luke 9:23, Jesus gives one of the hardest calls in all of Scripture: “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Dr. Taylor explores what that really means for men today. The cross isn’t a piece of jewelry—it’s a symbol of death to self and the call to take up responsibility daily.

After a few days away with my wife and daughter, I was reminded how good rest can be — but also how easy it is to lose momentum. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to get back in the fight: why showing up matters, and how even a few minutes of training can reset your discipline.

In this episode of Dear Brothers, we explore the true meaning behind the wedding ring — a symbol many men wear but few fully understand. From its ancient origins to its modern significance, we break down how this simple circle of metal represents covenant, sacrifice, and daily commitment. It’s more than jewelry — it’s a reminder of the promise you made before God and the man you’re called to be every day.

After nearly a year away, Dear Brothers returns. In this episode, I share what’s been happening behind the scenes — from becoming a dad, to finishing The Heroic Man, launching new courses and injury manuals, and building an all-inclusive platform for men focused on training, faith, and brotherhood.

Back at it baby!

We have a little girl on the way.
