For the Guys: Redefining Male Identity, Potential & Purpose | Love By Faith with Kyle & Selina Almodovar #043

What if unlocking your true potential meant redefining your identity beyond mere interests? Explore this provocative question and more as we kick off a new season dedicated to redefining male identity, potential, and purpose by helping men rise to their truest and fullest selves through faith and perseverance.

This episode is packed with invaluable insights on building stronger friendships, relationships, and marriages, all while leaning on God and each other. Reflecting on our much-needed break, we share how it rejuvenated us and enabled us to roll out exciting new services and courses, including a premarital course specifically designed to fortify your relationships and personal growth.

We tackle the complexities of male identity, highlighting how men often equate who they are with what they like, and the deeper motivations behind these interests.

Discover the delicate balance between being overdriven and content, and the significance of internal motivation in personal growth. We underscore the power of a challenging five-year plan and the importance of couple-to-couple mentoring services as tools for mutual growth.

Uh-oh, this month we're for the guys.

Speaker 1: 0:03

For the guys.

Speaker 2: 0:04

We're helping the guys to be better men. I'm trying to share how men work and think.

Speaker 1: 0:07

How can guys rise up to their truest potential? We're not perfect people.

Speaker 2: 0:12

By any means.

Speaker 1: 0:13

But by trusting in God we learned what it takes to build a friendship.

Speaker 2: 0:18

A relationship.

Speaker 1: 0:19

And marriage that has stood the test of time.

Speaker 2: 0:22

With a keeping it real style. We're going to talk to you about everything.

Speaker 1: 0:26

Everything.

Speaker 2: 0:27

That we've been through.

Speaker 1: 0:28

Are going through.

Speaker 2: 0:29

And have overcome All by learning how to lean on God and each other In order to help you learn how to Love by.

Speaker 1: 0:52

Faith, we're just gonna persevere we're gonna persevere persevere through the kids I'm gonna do this, all right.

Speaker 2: 0:57

You season new challenges oh, being transparent about recording during the day. We stopped with the early morning, we're trying to get some midday stop with the early morning. We just were too lazy to do it early this morning trying to get some midday energy and in here in the podcast and I hope that it'll uh, it'll come out a little different. We'll be able to have some fresher thoughts I feel like in the morning when we were recording, I would come off like super slow maybe you said it, not me, but now that I'm now it's midday.

Speaker 2: 1:26

I feel like awake, alert, like yeah, let's go get this. I'm so excited for season two I am too.

Speaker 1: 1:32

I'm glad that we made it this far. There's very few podcasters that can say they've made it to a season two right, I listen to like podcasts, like very sparingly.

Speaker 2: 1:41

I listen to a couple of our friends podcasts and I like check out. But you know what happens to me in like the commercial podcasts there's so many commercials that it's frustrating.

Speaker 1: 1:53

Podcasts get it paid yo.

Speaker 2: 1:54

I mean when I'm trying to listen to it and get into it. And just when I get into it, they're like oh, don't forget to check out Matchcom.

Speaker 1: 2:07

Whoa, whoa whoacom.

Speaker 2: 2:07

whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, we have a commercial.

Speaker 1: 2:09

Don't knock the commercials, bro. I know I spent a lot of time editing this new commercial, but I'm saying, they just have so many.

Speaker 2: 2:12

They like so many we have one.

Speaker 1: 2:13

No, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like every 15 minutes and it's nothing I'm interested in yeah I don't, you know.

Speaker 2: 2:19

God bless those people who use hello other services, but I don't need it is.

Speaker 1: 2:23

It is my desire and goal that you know, if, god willing, he gets us to the point where we do have paid sponsors and we do have paid advertisement, that we would be very considerate of the listeners and the watchers. When it comes to those like. There are some people that are just like give me the money, you can do whatever you want. And then there are some people that are very strategic give me the money, you can do whatever you want. And then there are some people that are very strategic of like no, this is an appropriate spot to take a break, grab some coffee and we can have that you know ad placed properly, versus just give me the money for the amount of ads that we put out there.

Speaker 1: 3:01

So, we want to be mindful of the listeners in our community over the money, because it's not really about the money. It's about really just sharing the faith of god and making sure that your guys's relationship is thriving. That's what it's about your relationship is not dependent on an ad. So that's where we are. But hey, it's season two, kyle, we took a whole month off it was nice to me it was.

Speaker 1: 3:24

To me. It was like, oh, I can't, I can't break away, because consistency is key. That's what they drain, drill into you. And uh, it was a little bit of hard for me mentally, but we did it. We took the whole month off and how did you feel?

Speaker 2: 3:39

it felt like vacation I was like having the I don't have to worry about getting up, getting the episode ready, getting it out there. And I like that downtime to just recharge, regroup, because I come back now and feel like I'm ready, I'm full of energy.

Speaker 1: 3:54

That's great.

Speaker 2: 3:55

I'm ready to just let it rip, let it get out there.

Speaker 1: 3:57

I'm glad you got rest, Kyle.

Speaker 2: 3:59

I think one of the highlights of that time down downtime was our, our retreat to get to get the new season planned. Yes, that was really awesome. Yes, I thought it was really cool to have that.

Speaker 1: 4:11

I am all for planning retreats.

Speaker 2: 4:13

It was. It was a nice planning retreat and I hope that the fruit of that shows here with the people Absolutely what comes out of our episodes.

Speaker 1: 4:21

Not only did we plan our season two during this retreat, but we planned essentially our newest freebie, which we'll talk about in that non-paid commercial that is properly placed Right.

Speaker 1: 4:35

But we also talked about upcoming services and ways that we can help couples. We talked about our premarital course that we're creating. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you are inching towards that holy matrimony, uh, we're going to have a, a beautifully designed course for you guys in that Um. We talked about a lot of things in that retreat so that we can just come back and say, hey, we didn't just sleep in for three, four weeks, but we had you guys in mind the entire time and we're coming back stronger and-.

Speaker 2: 5:10

Better.

Speaker 1: 5:11

Better, stronger.

Speaker 2: 5:12

Got all the stuff Work it bake it.

Speaker 1: 5:14

Okay, okay, okay, we knew, I knew that was going there. So, yeah, I'm glad you had rest, kyle. I feel like I did not have rest Really making a website putting it all together you had.

Speaker 2: 5:29

No, those were like during the school day, when the kids were gone, you were working in your office but like you had to rest, we weren't doing this correct yeah come on.

Speaker 1: 5:39

There was no uh camera time, but there was lots of other things that I was doing behind the curtain behind the curtain. To get us to the season to get it open, yep.

Speaker 1: 5:49

Yeah. So, speaking of season two, you know, um, just kind of give you guys a recap, welcome back, welcome to the show loved by faith. And uh, we started season one just with a whole story of like who are we, how did we get here, why we think we're fit to have a podcast. Then we went into an entire year long series called the foundation series, and this was to help couples know. You know, if you want to work on building the most solid, firmest foundation for your relationship, these are the areas to focus on. So, now that we're out of that and we're starting fresh in this whole new season, kyle, what are we going to talk about?

Speaker 2: 6:31

I don't know. Oh my gosh, kyle, I'm just kidding. We talk about all sorts of stuff. We talk about the guys, talk about the girls, talk about making a house a home, talking about love, talking about love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love love, love, love, love.

Speaker 2: 6:44

Talking about kids and ministry. You know all the things, all the things that come in this crazy Christian life we're trying to live. Talking about being out there in the world there's a Christian couple and what that looks like, because there's challenges there, not being ashamed of your faith and being going in boldness.

Speaker 1: 7:17

It's good. It's good. It's a season of boldness around here and hopefully it's going to just kind of break through into the AirPods and the TV screens that you guys are watching this on and it could be able to be inspiring to you in your spirit to become bold as lions and so that we can be bold not just in our faith but in our love for our partner.

Speaker 2: 7:39

Right, one of our goals here is just that when we talk, it's us talking things out together to figure out, really, like, how to work together as a couple, and so when we come out and put it out on the podcast, it's to give you guys something to talk about. Yes, so maybe he hears it on his way to work or she hears it on her way home from wherever. Then she brings it back and says hey, I was listening to kyle and selena and they said this, and you share it with each other and really go through and have a conversation, or hit one of our freebies up and look through that together and get a good conversation out of it.

Speaker 1: 8:16

So what are we going to talk about specifically today?

Speaker 2: 8:19

Bro, let's talk about the dudes. This month we're going into a series for the dudes.

Speaker 1: 8:23

For the dudes.

Speaker 2: 8:24

For the dudes, for the guys. I think that's how I wrote it out when we were planning this, and of course we'll hit the next one for the girls, but for now, this month, we're for the guys.

Speaker 1: 8:34

For the guys. Okay, so what does that mean exactly? Break this down, because I thought this was a brilliant series to do one month strictly, just things that guys need to know, and then one month strictly this is what girls need to know. So can we you know october's? A long we got like five tuesdays in here. So there's gonna be five episodes specifically for the guys. Kyle, what, what made you come up with this series and what do you want listeners and watchers to get out of it?

Speaker 2: 9:03

My thought behind it was kind of two-sided right, it's for the guys, but it's for helping the guys to be better men.

Speaker 1: 9:11

Okay.

Speaker 2: 9:12

And for helping the women to maybe single, maybe married, to gauge what a man needs, what a man wants.

Speaker 1: 9:22

Okay.

Speaker 2: 9:23

And I'm trying to share how men work and think, and so that's a challenge because a lot of it's going to be generalizations. There's going to be guys on the far end of the curve, but for the most part I think I can hit the target pretty well here.

Speaker 1: 9:39

I like to describe you as a guy who's a guy, being a guy, just a dude bro to describe you as a guy. Who's a guy being a guy, Just a dude bro. You're just a dude, bro. And so I think that this is great and this is a really good topic, because when I work primarily with women on my side of ministry and a lot of the times women it's crazy because they almost say the same thing they want a man who is a spiritual leader.

Speaker 1: 10:05

They want a man who will take initiative in the spiritual areas of their life. They want a man who can talk and be transparent and communicate, because a lot of the times they do things but they're not communicating the things that they do and they assume that they're communicating through their actions and not by their. They don't necessarily need words and so like.

Speaker 1: 10:28

These are the two major points that I hear okay you know, other than the the obvious of like, men are physical creatures and you know guys love sports and you know guys forget things, and you know all the other random but also very shareable relatable things that guys are.

Speaker 2: 10:49

So one of my biggest surprises when I talk to guys is they'll say yeah, I know, I know who I am. I know, I know what. I know who I am yeah but then when I ask them to, let well, tell me about that. Who? Who are you? What does that mean? What does that look like? It's harder for them to say that you know. To put it in words like well, I'm a they always just trails off, you know.

Speaker 1: 11:10

So what do you think they mean when they say I know who I am? What does that translate to I?

Speaker 2: 11:14

think that in dude speak is they say, they know what they like okay, they don't know who they are. They know what they like, like. They like movies, they like food, they like this kind of comedy, like this kind of cars. Okay, you know what I mean, but they don't know who they are. As far as identity, what their, what their godly identity is, what?

Speaker 1: 11:37

that down, break it down, break it down so, okay, you like cars Awesome.

Speaker 2: 11:43

You like sports Awesome. Go Browns Right. So, inside of those, you're a sports guy, right. You're competitive, you like to see success, you like to achieve things, you like to push the boundaries, to do better and better each time, right. So those are the little things inside of all those that guys really mean when they say, oh, I like sports, oh, you like competition.

Speaker 1: 12:06

OK.

Speaker 2: 12:07

You like victory, you like overcoming and achieving. You might like the underdog Right, and so digging into what that really means helps a dude understand his identity better.

Speaker 1: 12:17

OK.

Speaker 2: 12:17

Right, you like cars? Ok, you like cars. No, you like complex things that have to be figured out OK, like cars. No, you like complex things that have to be figured out okay. Complex things that can be tuned to be better, to be, to achieve more. A lot of what guys want, a lot of guys identity is is coming back, comes back to achievement. There's such achievement-based creatures like, I think, even back to cavemen. We just want to succeed. We just want to win the win, the, the hunt, win, the, the battle. Right, you got the need for achievement. You got the need for recognition. You got the need for win the hunt, win the battle right. You got the need for achievement. You got the need for recognition. You got the need for success. And so that's where, when you dig deep into guy's identity, you can think about what do you really mean when you say I know who I am?

Speaker 1: 13:00

So, as a woman who is in a relationship with this man, who thinks he knows who he is but doesn't really know who he is because he hasn't searched that deep Wait- wait, wait.

Speaker 2: 13:12

I want to stop you Because we do know who we are, even if we can't say it as deep as I just said it. The goal here is to get the guys to stop and think, to get to that deep.

Speaker 1: 13:22

How do we do that?

Speaker 2: 13:23

Okay, that's here is to get the guys to stop and think, to get to that deep. How do we do that? Okay, that's hard right because you.

Speaker 2: 13:27

You talked to him and it's, I think, a bit of it is when you're out there with him, right, living life, you're watching. Well, he likes sports. Well, what does he like about the sports? Right, it's not just his team, he's not just because, you know, every, not every team has, you know, got the the win every time right. So he's just gotta dig, you, gotta ask the right questions what is, what is it about sport? Okay, you like sports, right, but what is it about the sports?

Speaker 1: 13:56

nah, man, I'm not doing that, I'm not, I'm not my man's counselor I'm not asking you to counsel.

Speaker 2: 14:01

You want to understand your guy.

Speaker 1: 14:01

You got to ask him questions when you ask questions, though, it doesn't exactly lead to the revelation that the man identifies with here's. Here's the problem. I don't even know if this is a problem, but here is what women and what women struggle with when it comes to men.

Speaker 1: 14:18

So for the guys, your girl is always trying to discover who the man is so that he can become better. Because for a woman, we always see the potential. Now, getting their man to rise up to that potential, that's the struggle. Because we see it and we can lead the horse to the water as many times as we want, but that stubborn horse is never going to drink the water, because we said it or because we provided it, or because we're like, hey, we're giving you all the tools, like all you need to do is jump, all you need to do is drink, and oftentimes they don't because it has to come from them.

Speaker 2: 14:58

So when I hear that, I think that the man, what he's facing in that situation, is that you have a woman who might see potential that he has no desire for. So if you picture this potential, this man, going to be some hero somewhere, but he has no desire to be the hero in that realm, he's not going to care, he's not going to drink that water because it's not where he wants to go.

Speaker 1: 15:25

So I guess the question could be for this episode for the guys how can guys rise up to their truest potential?

Speaker 2: 15:32

For me, it comes back to knowing yourself, to asking yourself as the dude, if you want to be a better dude. What does it mean? Who am I? What is my identity in Christ, what is my ministry goals, what are my outlooks on things? So why do I love sports? Right, I personally, Kyle, love sports because I like to see. I come from Cleveland where we're always the underdog. I love to see the underdog win. I love to see a good upset. I love the hope behind every new game that today could be the day. I love the hope behind every new game that today could be the day.

Speaker 2: 16:04

You know what I mean and so I love long shots. I think of baseball right Hitting for the cycle where you hit a single double triple and a home run in the same game. Okay, crazy thing, rarely happens but when it does it's beautiful Inside the park home run I'd live for that. That long shot of that just amazing one-off thing happening, love that and I think that's comes back to a internal motivation to to see the the amazing happen how can the amazing happen within a man's potential, within a man's identity, so that it overflows into their relationship?

Speaker 2: 17:49

you know again, I said at the beginning, a lot of this is generalizing, right.

Speaker 1: 17:52

Right.

Speaker 2: 17:52

But for the most part, this is going to come from inside, an internal need for success or need for achievement. They sound the same, but they're different. The need for success or the need for achievement inside is what's going to lead his man to desire to be better every day.

Speaker 1: 18:10

Sounds good.

Speaker 2: 18:11

Some dudes may not have it. Some dudes have a need for status quo, need for consistency, need to just I've peaked, I've reached where I want to stay and this is where I'm good at.

Speaker 1: 18:22

And ladies. I think it's important for us if we're asking questions and if we're getting to know our man better. I think understanding where your man is if he wants to drive for that potential versus if he's cool with status quo versus he has no desire whatsoever the better and quicker you know that. Yeah, the earlier in the relationship the earlier you understand that part, the more clear you can see where it's going to go.

Speaker 1: 18:52

The more successful you'll be able to understand, based on what you want in a man and based on what you see having in a future spouse.

Speaker 2: 18:59

And the trajectory. Yes, yep, so I feel like you got a big, heavy question I'm about to have to answer.

Speaker 1: 19:04

I don't have a big heavy question talking about where guys are and really just having it start at their potential and just understanding, like, who they are yeah and identifying themselves in that way is really good.

Speaker 1: 19:23

It's it's good knowledge, it's good feedback and, for women who are listening to this episode, you know us understanding. Okay, that guy needs to figure that out and, based on where he wants to figure it out and how much this is something he values, that lets us know. Okay, this is where the relationship stands. This is where the guy stands, whether or not he's going to grow or not.

Speaker 1: 19:46

And I think a driven man is one of those pillars that you know is very essential to having a man of God become a leader of the relationship and a leader of the house and legacy or whatever. And so I know, for me as a relationship coach for Christian women, I am always instilling in my girls you know, set your standards.

Speaker 2: 20:10

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 20:11

Don't hold back on your standards. Uphold those standards If you need a man of God, a high quality man of God. They are going to fall into that category where they want to rise to their fullest potential.

Speaker 1: 20:26

They want to become, they're driven to succeed. They're driven to go from glory to glory, higher to higher level. And so for the guys out there, as you explained, for the guys out there who just want to be the status quo, who have zero desire to grow because they're fully content with where they're at and they don't need to grow anymore. You know they, they know what they like, they're, they're great in their ways, they're fine, right. For those guys and for the women who want more, who crave more, who see that potential and they're like I know you can be this. And the guy's like I don't care, it's just, that's just not who I am, that's not where I'm at.

Speaker 2: 21:09

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:10

My question is what do you, how do you? What do you say to that? And what should you say, or what can you say for the men who desire to become better men of God for the sake of themselves and their relationship? Okay, should you even say like is it even a bad thing that guys are like I'm cool where I'm at and it is what it is? How?

Speaker 2: 21:36

does that affect their relationship for the married couples, for the guys there is there is a beauty in contentment, right? Some guys can be overdriven. You're just always steadily. He's just six days a week for the last 30 years like you're. You know what I mean. What do you? You got to make time for her, right, yeah? And she's tired of him trying like. She just wants him to chill.

Speaker 2: 22:03

And then there's the opposite end of the spectrum with the guy who just, you know, makes his living, comes home, does his fantasy football team, takes the kid to the park, calls it a day and that's all he needs, right, right. And so the balance there is understanding when it's the right time to be content and when it's the right timing to desire more. And for the women who are looking at their husband like man, why isn't he trying for more? Why isn't he trying to achieve more? It's got to come from inside. That's where she's got to be praying for him and leaning into him, because it's got to come from inside. That's where she's got to be praying for him and leaning into him, because it's got to come from inside. Frankly, there's not much she's going to say that's going to spark him.

Speaker 1: 22:48

Right. So is there anything that you can say? Bro to bro, dude to dude?

Speaker 2: 22:53

for the dudes, it's got to come from inside. If you've been at the status quo and you're tired of it, change something. Write it down, make a plan, make a five-year plan and make it. Make it intentional, make it bold. Make it something that's going to take you some effort to get to that five-year plan. Don't make it a five-year plan that looks like today. If that, that's a waste of time. You know what I mean. So this is where you said with your girls, with my, you know what my mentors first taught me was know your identity and make a five-year plan that's going to push you to be better in that identity. And so, if you're a dude for the guys, know your identity. If you need to understand your identity, make a challenging five-year plan that's going to push you into your identity. Two easy takeaways that's great.

Speaker 1: 23:44

That's really helpful.

Speaker 2: 23:45

For the guys.

Speaker 1: 23:46

And for the women who are in a relationship with a guy who may or may not know what their identity is, what can you say to them If you said that the guys aren't necessarily going to hear from them?

Speaker 2: 24:01

Right.

Speaker 1: 24:02

And, like I said, we can provide all the opportunity and potential and try to connect you with as many people as possible. If it's not coming from the guy, then it's not going to happen.

Speaker 2: 24:12

He's going to get annoyed. If you're pushing him too much, he's going to get annoyed.

Speaker 1: 24:14

So what can you say to us who are you know? I want my man to find himself, I want my man to strive for more. What, what can you say to these women?

Speaker 2: 24:26

you. It's a delicate line of how to approach this, because he could get defensive, he could get insecure, and so it's asking those open-ended questions about future-oriented, open-ended questions. What do you? Where do you see us in a couple years? Where do you see, how could our house be better, like in two or three years? How could our family be better in two or three years? How could our marriage be better, you know, in two or three years?

Speaker 2: 24:54

And you have to give him the. I want to say give him the, the approval, but you have to give him the safe space that he could answer this however he wants. And you have to give him the. I don't want to say give him the approval, but you have to give him the safe space that he can answer this however he wants. And you have to be ready, as a woman, to hear what he says, because you might not like it. He might say need you to do this and this more, need you to do that and that more? And that's cool. And you take that and you say great, but what about you? What do you? You know what I mean. And you're going to have to push them a little bit, and it's not a lot of bit. It's not raising your voice, it's not off the cuff right after an argument. Timing is everything in this. This has to be a peaceful moment. Maybe it's in the car on the way back to church or on the way to church and go from there.

Speaker 1: 25:37

I know that these are really hard conversations to have, especially if you're trying to have them for the first time, and they're very rare and they're just coming out of left field conversation to maybe establish this conversation and walk away with some points or some goals that both you and your person can work on together. Then Kyle and Selena are offering.

Speaker 2: 26:07

You're going to tell them to get the playbook.

Speaker 1: 26:09

I'm telling them to get the playbook. Yes, but that's still self-help. What I wanted to say was we are offering one-on-one, couple-to-couple mentor services for you guys out there that you guys can get with us on a Zoom call. We can have this conversation and you guys can walk away with some clarity, with some steps and hopefully, with that man who can identify himself a little deeper and we can go from there and what women need in this godly man.

Speaker 2: 26:40

And you'll walk away with at least tools to get to that point, absolutely At least tools to work together to figure each other out better.

Speaker 1: 26:50

Absolutely so. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Episode one. This is just the tip of the iceberg of, for the guys, what women need in a godly man. We need someone who can identify himself. We need someone who can rise up to his potential. We need some guys who are going to look inside themselves and really come out of. This is what I need to do, and then they take that initiative to do it.

Speaker 2: 27:15

And, as a dude, you got to want it. It's not going to happen until you want it.

Speaker 1: 27:19

And if you, you don't want it, then there needs to be a conversation as to why pray and ladies, if you've had that conversation and you're still hitting that dead end, then you need to do if you're, if you're not married yet, you need to do some really good soul searching on is this what you continue? Is this what you're going to continue to want long term?

Speaker 1: 27:41

and if you are married, if you are married and you're stuck at this dead end kind of road, then that's when you go into your prayer closet that's it and that's when you get the Holy Spirit involved, and that's when you check your heart, and that's when you intercede for your husband, and that's when you guys start to love by faith yo okay, name drop yes, so I think this is a great place to end episode one episode one in the bag I hopefully you got something out of this episode.

Speaker 1: 28:12

I think our kids are going to bang the door open at this point. They've stopped us a lot. Next week we're going to continue this conversation because, again, guys need to do a lot on their own right. Women have to support and understand their guys a little better. I think this is a really good series to start with, and it starts with the man in the home, you know and so it's it's really appropriate for that it's a big topic, it's going to take work.

Speaker 2: 28:38

It's going to take. It's a serious topic and so's going to take work. It's a serious topic, and so we wanted to come out swinging. So here we are, season two swinging for the fences.

Speaker 1: 28:46

Can you pray for your brothers in?

Speaker 2: 28:49

Christ. Pray us out. Pray for the people, Lord, we are grateful for you in this place today, for your Holy Spirit flowing, and we just pray, Lord, that the listeners would find takeaways, would find talking points, would find you in this Lord, would find ways to love better, to live better and to grow together as a couple. We pray for the people who are seeking love, Lord, that you would bring the right person in their path, or that you would give them the contentment to understand that right now is the season for them to grow on their own. We praise you that it all comes from you, that right now is the season for them to grow on their own. We praise you that it all comes from you, that the growth is from you and that you are in control of it all. We give you the glory. Today we just pray for peace around the couples who are listening and in.
