In Act Like Men, David challenges men particularly to "be on guard, stand firm in the faith, act like men, and be strong" (1 Corinthians 16:13) by evaluating topics from the Bible, world news, politics, and more with candor and a healthy dose of dry (often corny) humor. This will also be the platform David uses to post his weekly sermons he preaches as pastor. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-morgan/support
