Redeeming the Billfold, Ballfield, and Bedroom: What Real Manhood Looks Like

In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins unpack Voddie Baucham’s powerful framework for manhood — the billfold, the ballfield, and the bedroom.

They expose how the world measures men by money, performance, and pleasure — and how Christ redeems each realm for dominion, stewardship, and covenant faithfulness. Drawing from Scripture and It’s Good to Be a Man by Michael Foster, this conversation calls men to repent, rebuild, and lead households that reflect the glory of God.

If you want to understand what biblical masculinity looks like in real life — in your wallet, your work, and your marriage — this one’s for you.
