Unleashed Episode 109 – From Wounds to Wolves: Why Men Retreat Into Loneliness

Why do so many men pull away and isolate when life gets hard?

From Rambo in the woods, to Batman in the Batcave, to Wolverine drifting alone, culture has fed us the lie that the “lone wolf” is the ultimate strong man. But Scripture tells a different story: “Two are better than one… pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10).

In this week’s Unleashed Podcast, Brent and Kevin expose the wounds that whisper the question every man wrestles with: “Do I have what it takes?” Those lies push us toward isolation, but God’s truth calls us into brotherhood and family. The key is renewing our minds—learning to FIGHT back with God’s Word, uncover the lies that fuel loneliness, and replace them with His truth.

👉 Don’t wait in isolation for six men to carry your casket—find six brothers who will carry you through life now.

The Ten-Minute Pause: When God Delays You for a Reason
UNLEASHED Episode #107

I was about to walk out of Starbucks when God spoke to my heart: “Wait ten more minutes.”
Ten minutes later — almost to the second — Kevin Huff walked through the door.

That ten minutes turned into ten months of writing the new Unleashed book together — a book I had been stuck on for over two years. I was stalled… and God knew I needed someone to get me back on track.

But not just anyone.
Someone smart.
Someone funny.
Someone who loves God, loves people, and believes in God’s divine appointments.

Only God could take one pause in a coffee shop and turn it into a partnership, a book, and now a new season of this podcast.

Unleashed Episode #104
"Warriors Don’t Shoot the Wounded"

Episode Description:
In this raw, powerful episode, Brent shares four unexpected conversations that revealed something deeper: men are hungry for hope, purpose, and brotherhood. Whether it was a young salesman, a contractor, or a guy just trying to make ends meet, each encounter pointed to one truth:

God still sets divine appointments. And we must be ready.

This episode is a call to action for those who want to make a difference. Warriors don’t shoot the wounded—they bandage them, walk with them, and help them get back into the fight.

Every man needs a space where he can share, cry, and grieve and still be seen as strong. That’s what this episode is about. That’s what Unleashed is for.

🔥 PASTORS + CHURCH LEADERS: What would happen if your entire church discovered their God-given purpose—at the same time?

It wouldn’t be a ripple.
It would be a tsunami of transformation.

I’m Brent Henderson—national recording artist, speaker, author, outdoorsman, and host of the Unleashed Podcast. After two decades of equipping men, God has called me to speak to the entire body of Christ.

Later this year, I’m releasing my newest project, Unleashed—a message I’ve spent years developing to help people discover their “why,” reclaim their identity, and live with unstoppable purpose.

“The enemy doesn’t fear who you are right now—he fears who you’ll become when you finally believe what God says about you.”

Over 20,000 men have come to Christ through this ministry—and I believe what God is doing through Unleashed can impact entire congregations.

“When a man discovers his ‘why,’ his family finds stability. When a church discovers its ‘why,’ a city starts to change.”

I speak at over 50 events a year—retreats, wild game dinners, conferences, and churches—and would love to talk with you about bringing this message to your community.

Let’s ignite a wave of purpose in your church.

🔥 THE WILDERNESS WILL TEST YOU 🔥
🎯 New Unleashed Podcast Episode is LIVE

I just got back from vacation with my family… and now the countdown is on.

In 80 days, I’ll be deep in the Colorado backcountry for a high-stakes bow hunt—no treestands, no shortcuts. Just altitude, predators, and the challenges the wilderness brings

I’ve faced hypothermia, been blinded by dehydration, charged by 2 bears, and surrounded by floodwaters in the middle of the night.
This is more than hunting, it's about the hunt for a man's heart.
It’s about training, not just for the wilderness, but for what life—and God—will call you to.

➡️ Do you know what it takes to survive when the world turns wild?
➡️ Are you preparing your body, mind, and spirit for what’s next?

This episode is gritty, real, and full of spiritual parallels. Because calling and purpose don’t come easy.
Elk live in the high places. So does your calling.

Episode 100 isn’t just a milestone—it’s a message.
In today’s podcast, I open up about the pain of divorce, the sting of judgment, and the deep healing that only God’s grace can bring.

“Judgment is just unconfessed sin rotting in someone else’s throat.
And God’s grace is always bigger than someone else’s judgment.”

If you’ve been labeled, left out, or made to feel like damaged goods, this episode is for you.
You’re not disqualified. You’re a warrior with scars—and you are still God's beloved child.

In this powerful 100th episode of the Unleashed Podcast, Brent Henderson delivers a raw, redemptive message for anyone who’s been wounded by divorce—or silen...

🎙️ EPISODE 100 – “The Church’s Silent Wound”
Tomorrow is episode 100 of Unleashed. A milestone. And I couldn’t ignore the weight of it.

Before I hit record, I’ll be getting on my knees, asking God to guide every word—to speak directly into the hearts of those who need it.

And that means everyone.

The topic? Divorce.
Not theology. Not debate. But the deep, soul-tearing pain of it—and the shame, silence, and judgment that often follow.

I’ve walked it. I’ve wept through it. I’ve lost close relationships. I've been shunned. I’ve felt the judgment and heard the whispers. I’ve been pushed to the outside of once close circles.
But I’ve also come to understand something powerful:

Judgment is just unconfessed sin rotting in someone else’s throat...and God’s grace is always bigger than someone else’s judgment.

You are not disqualified.
You are not damaged goods.
You are a warrior with scars—and that makes you dangerous for good.

Episode 100 drops tomorrow.
Mark it down. Set a reminder. Make a sticky note.
You're about to rise. You’re about to breathe again.

When you stop empowering a false identity rooted in sin, freedom rushes in. The enemy thrives on you believing you’re still broken—but believe what Christ has done for you, and sin’s grip vanishes like mist in the morning light.

06/10/2025

There’s a kind of theology that sounds humble on the surface but slowly eats away at a man’s soul.

It goes something like this:
“I’m just a worthless sinner. I’m nothing. I deserve hell. I’m scum. Just a worm.”

That might feel spiritual—like you’re giving all the glory to God—but here’s the problem:
God never called you worthless.
He never called you scum.
He never called you a worm.

He calls you His beloved.
His son.
His ambassador.
His warrior.
His friend.

You were once a slave to sin, yes—but now, if you’re in Christ, you’ve been adopted, redeemed, empowered, and crowned with purpose.
To keep calling yourself a worthless worm after the cross is like calling Jesus’ blood insufficient.

That’s not humility.
That’s unbelief.

When Jesus said “It is finished,” He meant it.
The old you died. A new you was born. And that new you is not defined by shame, addiction, or the worst day of your life.

God’s not asking you to grovel—
He’s asking you to rise.

You’re not a worm.
You’re a warrior.
Now start living like it.

I really believe most people want a way to have at least "some" of their stories told. If they felt safe enough, I think that number would move to all people. To be able to honestly and safely share the absolute depths of our story enables us to share our powerful story of redemption.

We all have a little Rocky in us.

I'll be speaking for a men's event in Martinsville, IN tomorrow morning. Please pray for the men attending that they will be encouraged, equipped, and empowered. Changed men change men!
