In this episode of the Foundational Fathers Podcast, hosts TheMuteBassPlayer and Marcus tackle a reality every man faces after making commitments to change: resistance. After the reset and restructure, resistance shows up quietly—through temptation, discomfort, and compromise.

Special guest Hezron Gomez joins the conversation to unpack why resistance isn’t a setback—it’s often confirmation that growth is happening. Together, they explore surrender, accountability, spiritual discipline, and the power of community in staying close to Christ when the pressure rises.

This episode challenges listeners to resist the drift, confront quiet compromises, and pursue transformation with humility and support.

🔑 Key Takeaways
