What Every Christian Man Needs to Face Fear and Lead Strong
What does it take to lead with confidence when everything around you feels uncertain? In this powerful episode of the Real Men Connect podcast, Dr. Joe Martin interviews Dr. Matt Rawlings—leadership consultant, author of Walking Naked into the Land of Uncertainty, and founder of Broken Top Leadership Institute.
With decades of experience working in global missions and corporate boardrooms, Matt shares the biblical and practical insights men need to thrive in tension, lead with humility, and remain fully present—even in moments of fear, failure, or confusion.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to perform or lead without knowing the answers, this conversation will give you both clarity and comfort.
3 Key Highlights:
The 3 Foundational Questions from GenesisDr. Rawlings unpacks God’s first three questions to man in Genesis—“Where are you?”, “Who told you?”, and “Have you eaten?”—revealing a powerful framework for understanding your identity, source of truth, and personal responsibility.
The Five Keys to Leading into the UnknownLearn the five leadership keys Matt uses with CEOs and mission teams alike: Inquiry, Healthy Boundaries, Communication (Naming), Values, and Being Fully Present.
Why Vulnerability Is the Key to StrengthReal leadership starts with owning what’s happening inside you—your fears, weaknesses, and wounds. Matt explains how being “comfortable in your own skin” changes how you show up for others and lets God work through you.

Whether you’re leading at home, at work, or in ministry, these five keys to navigating the unknown can help you move forward with courage and faith.
