Tommy Thompson knows firsthand what it means to be overloaded and overwhelmed. He spent 35 years running multiple businesses while serving in church and raising a young family.
Tommy was going 100 miles per hour – all for good things – until he found himself exhausted, stressed, and anxious. He and his wife launched into a 15-year process of learning to create margin in their lives and began to experience joy and rest.
During this time, God was preparing them for an inconceivably difficult season of seeing their beautiful young daughter suffer as she battled cancer.
"We knew that the only way we would survive this incredibly painful, hard season was to double down on creating space in our lives."
In this episode, Mike and Tommy discuss margin, marketplace ministry, and mobilizing guys. Learn how Tommy began to "right-size" his life and fulfill his calling to impact people's lives for good and for God.
"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." Proverbs 19:21

This week’s podcast guest is Ethan Newquist, a Gen Z entrepreneur who started an athletic apparel company at just 16 years old. He’s learning a lot about business, but it’s so cool to hear how he desires to serve God and do something for the Kingdom while he’s still in high school.
Ethan wanted to stop settling for less. He wanted to do something with his life, and he wanted it to be about God. That’s why he chose the name Goliath Athletics to inspire others to fight the sin that comes between them and God.

Football season is almost upon us, and we are kicking off with Liberty Flames Director of Spiritual Development, Dr. Ed Gomes.
Ed has been discipling young men for decades and sheds light on effectively earning the right to spiritually father young men.
Mike and Ed dive into:
- What it looks like to build relationships with younger generations and earn the right to speak into their lives.
- What to do if you feel like you can’t relate.
- How to cast a vision for what their future could look like when they are dealing with father wounds.
- Why he prays for 55 young men per year to be in relationship with and how he is intentional about discipling them.
- How discipleship starts with making sure I am up to date with God.
- How to establish a pattern of faithfulness by focusing on one day at a time.
- How increasing faithfulness is like increasing the weight you can press.
- Why you shouldn’t let the enemy talk you out of trying to disciple young men.
Ed discusses how it all starts with looking to Jesus as the model.
“Jesus was always at the right place doing the right thing with the right people.”
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

As founding Pastor of East End Fellowship Church in downtown Richmond, Don Coleman now serves as Pastor Emeritus. He has a passion for seeing people meet Jesus through the lives of other believers, as well as the witness of the Church.
Mike and Don discuss what it means to meet Jesus, how the Church needs to grow and change, and how we need to learn to follow Jesus and guide others to follow him.
“Stop taking them to church. Take them to Jesus.”
He continues by asking, “Have you met Him (Jesus)? If you haven’t, where are you leading people?”
“Do what Jesus Did (DWJD). Don’t ask, 'What would Jesus Do?' (WWJD) He already told us. Stop asking questions. Read his Word!”
“Jesus said, 'Follow me, and I will MAKE you fishers of men.' He did not expect them to automatically be fishers of men. As we follow Jesus, he will make us disciple-makers, so we don’t have any excuses!”

This episode originally aired October 2020.
I am joined by Carey Bates, my former pastor and a man who faithfully invested in me. We met Carey when we first moved to Richmond over 20 years ago.
Before Carey even knew what discipleship really was, he started a group of men studying the Bible in his dorm room. Through the mentorship in his own life, he became passionate about reproductive discipleship. It became part of his DNA and ministry to look for the guy or the group he could invest in, and it all started when a man willing to disciple him said, “Come with me.”
We often don’t feel qualified to disciple others, but Carey helps us understand that as long as we have prayer, a biblical foundation, and fellowship with other men, we’ve got what it takes to begin. He recommends many resources to help us get kicked off. While there is nothing magical about any one resource, it’s a track to run on and get you started. As you listen, I pray you gain confidence to take that first step.
When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Matthew 10:19-20
“We are prompted by the Holy Spirit, but we are prepared by our mind.”
Resource Recommendations:
- The Bible – Serendipity Bible, or check out Resources on Episode 11: The Noble Man is a Man of the Word
- Point Man – one of my favorites to begin with
- Master Life series – the resource Carey used when he began discipling me
- Navigator material – including The Alongsiders, 2:7, and Design for Discipleship
- Survival Kit by Ralph W. Neighbor, Jr.

Chris Jackson has a background in business and in ministry. They were both thriving when God called him to step away from the active ministry he was running and the successful business he had invested himself into for 18 years.
Chris had been inspired by one conversation he had years ago with a man in his 60s who believed his most powerful and influential days were still ahead of him. He set out to continually grow and pour into others as Christ pours into him.
"One conversation that God is in the middle of can change your life."
Chris is now a C12 Chair in southern Alabama. He has a mission to abide in Christ and allow him to do the pruning necessary to produce much fruit in his life. Listen as he shares these lessons and more in Episodes 87 & 88 of The Noble Man Podcast:
- How we can be influential if we continue to walk with God.
- Why a Christian must never be set in his ways.
- How our pride limits us.
- How we must walk at a different pace than the world is promoting.

Clarence Shuler is a discipler of disciplers, “a Swiss army knife of ministry,” and it all began when he was 14. A local youth pastor named Gary Chapman took a chance on him in a place and time where cross-cultural relationships were rare and challenging.
“Segregation was outlawed but still being practiced.”
Yet he experienced love and respect from Gary, and over five decades later, the two are still like family. The seeds of discipleship Gary planted in Clarence’s 14-year-old heart have taken root, produced fruit, and multiplied in the lives of other men. They recently co-authored the book Life-Changing Cross-Cultural Friendships.
In The Noble Man Podcast Episodes 85 and 86, Clarence:
- highlights the keys to beginning and fostering cross-cultural friendships,
- describes the difference between discipleship and mentoring and how long mentoring relationships should last,
- discusses self-worth vs. self-worship, and
- talks through ways churches can value people beyond what goes skin deep, and more.

Paul Henderson discusses the rich heritage of fruitful mentorship in his life and how he is paying it forward to the next generation on The Noble Man Podcast.
Paul’s dad taught him and his five brothers the Scriptures. He had a high school coach who breathed life and belief into him. He worked with mentors in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes who poured into him. Another mentor encouraged him to turn a challenging time in his life and career into a fruitful time seeking God, and out of that came his book, Slave No More: Conquering the Master Within. Now, as Dean of Students with Elijah House Academy in Richmond, VA, Paul actively pours into hundreds of students daily.
He and his wife Kierra raise and disciple four sons together. His philosophy of building relationships and accountability for mentoring will challenge and bless you as you tune in to Episode 84.

Parenting takes work from both the mom and the dad. Join Mike and guest Jay Payleitner as they discuss Jay’s new book, Moms Bringing Out the Best in Dads.
Noble Warriors team members Christen and Hollie participate with experience on the other side of the table, offering their perspectives as wives and moms and how everyone benefits when Mom and Dad work as a team.
“Guys and gals are different,” says Jay, and he hopes to provide some insight for moms on what dads are thinking - or not thinking - and how a dad’s best resource can be his kids’ mom.
You’ll gain insight, have a laugh, and maybe get a few feathers ruffled as you hear how his wife has taught him how to swaddle and learned when to roll her eyes at him. Most importantly, along the way, she figured out how to bring out the best in him as a dad.
“Moms bringing out the best in dads actually brings out the best in moms as well,” says Christen. “It helps us be a better mom when we are helping our husband be a better dad, so I think it’s full circle.”

Dr. Greg Beechaum,Senior Pastor of Little Zion Baptist Church in Powhatan, VA, is devoted to serving his church in every capacity, including joining the men’s choir. He doesn’t even sing, but he goes to be where the men are.
Greg had the blessing of being raised around godly men, but he observed too many men around him who didn’t. Like Timothy, they had godly women, but Greg wants to see men stepping up for the generations behind them.
He shares how he has figured out ways to remove excuses for men of all generations when it comes to engaging in biblical community and how all ages learn from each other regardless of their experience.
“It’s not about how much you know; it’s about how much you want to invest. If you are willing to invest, age may not be so important. Both parties learn.”
Everyone needs to be a mentor and to mentor someone else. It’s a cycle that never ends, no matter how old you get. Listen as they discuss bringing spiritual fathers back to the church and make it a safe place to combat one of Satan’s greatest tricks to shame men - isolation.

- "It’s common for churches to emphasize discipleship among teenagers and young adults—and rightfully so. But if you believe discipleship is a lifelong journey, it’s important to keep emphasizing it for older Christians as well.

One of my pastors, Joe Tanner, introduced me to this week's unique podcast guest. Joe and Alex worked together in Central Asia for seven years, where Alex was born and raised. He had never heard the Gospel before age 14 and shares his incredible testimony, as well as a little bit about what men’s ministry is like in his home country.
Alex’s story shows the impact that one faithful man can have on an entire community and what it is like to see your whole family become new creations in Christ. Alex has three preteen sons and “only one wife,” an important distinction to make in his region of the world.
Only .5% of the population in Alex’s country is Christian. As you listen, I hope you’ll meditate on the power and work of the Holy Spirit, not just on this man’s life and those around him but around the globe. Please continue to pray for Alex, his family, and their ongoing ministry.
“I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am.’” Isaiah 65:1
