In this powerful first video episode of Blessed Man Walking, we are joined by a brother in Christ, Jacob, for a raw and honest conversation about why men were never meant to walk alone.

The episode opens with the spoken word poem Not Meant to Bleed Alone, a gut-level reminder that silence and isolation were never God’s design for manhood. Together, Derick and Jacob explore the biblical blueprint for brotherhood, the real barriers men face when trying to build community, and what true accountability looks like in practice.

This isn’t just about friendship. It’s about survival. It’s about walking in strength, honesty, and healing with brothers who will pray you through, call you out, and carry you when your knees give out.

If you’ve ever felt surrounded but still alone, this episode is for you.
