About
Each week on Unleashed , Brent Henderson takes you into the wild—through real-life adventures from Alaska to Africa—and brings those stories back to the front lines of where men actually live. This is a podcast for men who are tired of feeling stuck… tired of chasing approval… and ready to discover who they truly are in Christ. Brent unpacks the battles every man faces—purpose, identity, anger, lust, shame—and gives you practical, biblical tools to break free from unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and actions. This isn’t about behavior modification. It’s about transformation. Because when a man knows who he is… everything changes.
