We're All Gonna Die! Crafting a Life That Matters

Manlihood

Death is coming for every one of us — rich or poor, strong or weak, influential or obscure. The shock of public deaths like Charlie Kirk’s assassination forces us to face what we usually avoid: life is short, and we waste most of it. The question is not if we die — but what will outlive us when we do.

In this solo episode, Josh Hatcher explores the urgency of living with intention — not in fear, but with purpose, legacy, faith, and courage. He shares stories of men whose quiet choices shaped lives far beyond their own and names the legacy-killers most men fall into: passivity, bitterness, addiction, escape, and delay. We close with a guided reflection to help you visualize your legacy before your time is up.
