Episode 1 — Why Men Fail Their Resolutions (Part 1: Identity)
Most men don’t fail their New Year’s resolutions because they lack discipline — they fail because their identity is misaligned with the man they’re trying to become. In this opening episode of the 4-part series Why Men Fail Their Resolutions, Steve Baumgartner shares a vulnerable moment from his past: a quiet night in a hotel bar, a forgotten call home, and the realization that his identity—not his effort—was sabotaging every resolution he made.
This episode helps men understand why motivation fades, why discipline cracks, and why January becomes a cycle of guilt and disappointment every year. Through Scripture, masculine formation, and Steve’s personal story, you’ll discover the first pillar of the SACRED Code: Sanctify the Man — the foundation of becoming who God designed you to be.
If you're a man in your 30s, 40s, or 50s —balancing career, family, leadership, and faith—this episode will speak directly to your experience.
🔥 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- The real reason resolutions fail
- Why identity always overrides discipline
- How your internal story shapes your outcomes
- What Scripture says about becoming a new man
- The first step toward lasting masculine transformation
