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.

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

Kent Evans ofThe Manhood Journey and Mike discuss how we need wise guys in our lives to learn from and how we can become wise guys for younger men.
Kent answers some questions guys have like:
- Why do I have the gifts I have?
- What do I do with them?
- What is wisdom?
His answers might not be what you think!
He also challenges a theology problem he says many guys have that if you believe, you should just tear out every page of the Bible.
Kent is a man whose life was changed when his best friend’s dad reached out to encourage him in college. He learned that you can’t become the “un-something” because life has a way of turning you into what you don’t want. From that point on, he decided to invest his life learning from men who have something he wants, and he’s poured all that knowledge into his book Wise Guys.
He points to 1 Peter 4:10 as he encourages guys that God isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s given each of us gifts to use for the Kingdom.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

In The Noble Man Podcast Episode 78, we’re talking about activating and mobilizing an untapped, undeployed army in the church – the Gen X and Boomer generations.
Rev. Chuck Stecker, Executive Director and Founder of A Chosen Generation Ministry, has dedicated the past 22 years to equipping, training, empowering, and releasing a new generation of leaders, and he sees the need for intergenerational ministry in the local church.
Mike and Chuck uncover some unexpected reasons older men aren’t engaging in discipleship and discuss how they can be mobilized toward mentoring and discipling.
“You can’t teach what you don’t know. You can’t lead where you won’t go. And you only reproduce what you are.”
Chuck didn’t know who he was or whose he was but came to the life-changing discovery that he was adopted by the King as one of his very own sons. He has encountered many men who have never been given their father’s blessing, never felt accepted as sons, and don’t know how to pass that on, but they can come to the point of healing.
Listen and learn why the analogy of Passing the Baton is deceiving and how to break away from the lie that you’ve done your part.
Don’t quit running. Don’t step off the track. Pray for the spirit of Caleb, who at 85 years old, said, “Give me my mountain.”
“God wants your story to be part of his story so that your story will be part of his story.”

What can a young man in his 20s do to have a lasting effect for the Kingdom? What could he have to offer?
Listen to Episode 77 of The Noble Man Podcast to find out how a college sophomore founded Christian Service Brigade (CSB Ministries) in the 30s. Now, the 85-year-old ministry has been geared towards purposefully pointing boys to Jesus for generations, in hundreds of churches, in every state.
Mike Young and Scott Haima, current President of CSB Ministries, discuss the benefits of older men being willing to mentor and disciple young men and how both are transformed in the process.
CSB Ministries provides a unique and vital avenue for boys to learn to do something for Christ, not just to have something to do. The ministry is structured for a lifestyle of learning that values and attends to how God has fearfully and wonderfully made boys.
"(Testosterone) is a God-given, chemical reaction in our body, and it’s not toxic.”
How might you join the effort and use your passions, hobbies, and talents to raise up the next generation of healthy young men?
“The reality is, God doesn’t give us men. He gives us boys.”
CSB is a high-octane opportunity - check it out!

Stephan Hicks is a prime example of a man allowing God to use his scars to empower other men in overcoming their wounds. Stephan was in his 40s when he founded My Brother’s Keeper, an organization born out of his own healing.
It started with just six guys, then multiplied. “Little did I know inviting six guys into my home would turn into a non-profit organization.”
My Brother’s Keeper is a group dedicated to mentoring men from 18 years old to well into their 60s. They help men handle problems across the board, such as education, employment, finances, and trauma, many resulting from a lack of fathers in the home. It is a safe place for men to talk about what they deal with, learn about their needs, and attain resources and counselors.
When Stephan was introduced to Mike Young and Noble Warriors, he went through The Quest for Authentic Manhood with those first six guys. In Episode 76 of The Noble Man Podcast, hear how God has multiplied their ministry with men across the city. He continues to provide unique ways for them to meet men where they are and show Christ’s faithfulness by living out the Gospel with them daily.
“Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32

When it comes to intergenerational discipleship, young men are hungry, and older men want to invest.
Unfortunately, sometimes mentoring is like a middle school dance with the guys on one side of the gym and the girls on the other. Everyone wants to dance, but they don’t know how to get started. In the same way, we have to figure out how to help the generations connect in order to transfer wisdom and encouragement.
Mike is joined by two younger men to discuss some of the unsuspecting mentors they have each had in their lives who may not even realize the impact they’ve had just by living a godly life and investing their time, energy, and resources into others.
Are you making space and intentionally looking for these types of mentoring opportunities in your life? How can you live in such a way that you are influencing people without even suspecting it?
Everyone wants it to be organic, but that still starts with someone taking initiative.
Join Mike, Landon, and Kaden as they discuss how their unsuspecting mentors influenced them by seeing value in them, being intentional, and doing life as they worked together.

Who have been the formative men in your life, and how can we impact the Kingdom through mentoring?
“I think there are a lot of men thirsting to share what they’ve learned in life, but I don’t think they know how to make that connection … How do we create that link between those seasoned men and the younger men?”
Ben Young is passionate about bridging that gap. Ben is the youngest son of Mike and Stacy, and as a college junior, he is one of the privileged young men who can look back and see mentor after mentor who impacted his life.
In this episode of The Noble Man Podcast, Ben gives his perspective on some of those mentors and the life lessons they taught him, including:
- How a godly man interacts with people at work.
- What godly marriages and godly grandparenting look like.
- Lessons about work, anger management, and problem-solving skills.
- Seeing God change a man and what that means to the legacy you leave for your family and kids.
- A practical approach to faith.
He also shares his biggest tip on getting started with mentoring if you are unsure and why it is worth it even though he knows, “It’s not an easy thing to do, but I think it’s a good thing.”
Ben echoes his dad’s number one phrase, “It all comes back to men’s discipleship.”

- What’s the one thing every man wants and needs in his life?
- What’s the difference between mentorship and discipleship?
- What’s necessary for a good mentorship relationship?
- Who should be a mentor?
- What if you’ve made some major mistakes? Can God still use you?
- Can a younger guy mentor an older guy?
Discipleship doesn’t happen without intentionality.
Ask yourself how to have the posture of someone who is being conformed to the image of Christ. Listen and take on the mentorship challenge.

We’ve all been going through a crisis for the last year and a half. Brian Autry, Executive Director of the SBC of Virginia, joined us at our Spring 2021 Tailgate Tour to remind us never to waste a crisis. We can say to our God, “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12b
Where do you focus your eyes when you have a problem?
We dream of being the hero of the story, but we should be seeking the Lord. In focusing on Him, we find our hope. “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4
Brian gives one of the coolest encouragements I’ve heard as he walks through what it would have taken for the children of Israel to cross the Red Sea and live in the desert. Did you ever think about what it took for them to get across in just one night? They’d have to march across 5,000 people wide, about a 3-mile-wide part in the sea! Not to mention the 11 million gallons of water, 750,000 quail, and 2 million gallons of manna they’d need daily – and so much more that God provided for them.
You’ve got to hear this faith-building breakdown of his faithfulness in the desert.
Our God can handle your crisis. Tune in and listen as he gives the steps we can take to keep our eyes on Him. He is the one true hero that we hand the ball off to because the battle belongs to Him.
Join us for our Fall Tailgate Tour!

“God has preordained all of us to achieve greatness in our life, but until we get ourselves cleaned up and hooked to the right power source, we’ll never be what he wants us to be.”
We live in a time when people are hooked up to the wrong power source, anything other than God.
“For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
From our Charlottesville Tailgate this past Spring, our friend Gordon Fields tells us how to maintain a strong connection to our power source. Gordon, a pastor for 30 years who now works with UVA Athletics graduate assistance through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is dedicated to investing in young athletes, leaders, and coaches. He’s lived firsthand what it’s like to have “a good battery, but a weak connection.”
“We have to have a good connection with God to benefit from the power that is available to us.”
What do you do when the corrosion of sin causes a clicking sound and a bad connection that keeps us from having a good connection with God?
Hear one of the coolest ideas he walks through: the “my, I, and me hookup” in Psalm 23, and find out how to get power back under the hood through the cross.

If you could get advice on how to make decisions from the wisest man who ever lived, would you take it? At our Waynesboro Tailgate this past Spring, Director of Church Planting for the SBC of Virginia, Josh Turner, gives us that advice from King Solomon out of Proverbs 4.
“My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:20-23
The NIV states it this way, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
Guard. Your. Heart. It’s the number one tip he gives.
Above. All. Else. It should be the number one priority in our lives.
When something needs guarding, it’s because it is valuable. In the same way, we guard our hearts because “if we lose our heart, the potential is we might lose everything.”
In this episode, Josh shares three ways we can begin to guard our hearts.
1. Resist the urgency of the day for the priority of prayer.
Prayer and time with the Father is the work. We can’t live off yesterday’s blessings and time with God.
2. Know who we are in Christ.
“True freedom comes when we find our identity not in what other people think about us, not in how popular we are, but very clearly in Christ alone.”
3. Acknowledge we have blind spots and have friends who we give permission to speak into our lives.
“Sin demands to have a man by himself.” Bonhoeffer
Tune in to Josh to better understand how to make guarding your heart a priority in your life. Things can look good on the outside, but if you peer on the inside, we might be headed for disaster.
“Men fall in private long before they fall in public.” J.C. Ryle

You can’t have it both ways.
Dr. Ed Gomes, Director of Spiritual Development for Liberty Flames football and shoe-shiner extraordinaire, asks us to decide, “Have you been allowing the world to conform you, or are you allowing God to transform you?”
It’s a contradiction. I can live my life the way I want to live it or the way God wants me to live it. I can do it my way and get wood, hay, and stubble, or do it God’s way and get the opposite.
Dr. Gomes received his salvation at the age of 17, and from that time until now, at age 67, God gave him a new “want to.” He decided to follow Jesus no matter what, become a student of God’s Word, and allow it to transform his life.
“Becoming a Christian isn’t based on something that I do, but rather it’s based on something Christ has already done.”
In Romans 12:1-2, Paul offers a negative and a positive admonition to believers. Dr. Gomes helps us see how we can make every day count, allow the Word of God to permeate our thoughts, and apply it to every situation.
In the last seven days, have you been in the Word?
As we get closer to the end of our Tailgate Series on the Podcast, the end of one season marks the beginning of another. Connect the Dots with us on the Tailgate map across the region and help us hit the road. Help noble men connect! And check out our Fall Tailgate Lineup!

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

“We may not have started well, but with Jesus we can finish well.”
Sometimes we feel like a failure as a father or a husband. Josh Turner brings a message of redemption and restoration for a man who was a complete failure in God’s Word.
He had no hope.
He was in the darkest place.
He lived in a cemetery
He cut himself.
“But everything changes when you meet Jesus.”
If you’ve ever met anyone you thought was too far gone, or if you have ever felt like you are that guy, there is always, always, always hope in Jesus. There is no addiction, no chain too strong He can’t break.
As you listen, think about who the guys are in your life right now that you are praying for or think they’ll never come to know Jesus.
If God changed this guy’s life, He could change anyone’s life. People need the hope that comes only through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It only makes sense that we share that hope with all those around us and leave a Gospel legacy.
“It’s more important how we finish than how we start. God wants to change us in an incredible, powerful way.”
Episode 68 is part of our Tailgate Series originally shared in Danville, VA. Josh Turner is a church planter and now Director of Church Planting for the SBC of Virginia.

Do you have Genesis 3 syndrome? Gary Freeman speaks passionately about the role fathers play in the pro-life movement in Episode 67 of our Tailgate Series. Gary is the founder of Major League Dad, a ministry dedicated to investing in and equipping fathers.
In Genesis 3, Adam was present while the serpent was lying to Eve. He knew what was going on, but he did nothing to protect her. “He knows what to do and he’s sitting on it.”
What are we sitting on?
Gary’s passion stems from his work at Care Net Pregnancy Center with the fathers of women who are considering or have had an abortion. He discovered that a key factor in an unplanned pregnancy going to term is a faithful man in the mother’s life.
A Care Net study revealed that one in four women who had an abortion were involved in a church, yet 72% of those women felt like they couldn’t come to the church to find healing.
“As believers, we have to be hungry about the things that God is hungry for.”
Drawing on his experience as an ECU football player, Gary challenges us to pay attention to our playbook as Christians so we don’t get our heads knocked off! But we don’t have to do it in our own strength because Jesus is the way, truth, and life. (John 14:6)
Get in the Word and see what God is calling us to do. If we know the Word better than all else we’ll see true transformation.
