The Cutting Room Floor | Responsible vs. Passive

What does real manhood look like in today’s world?

In this episode of The Cutting Room Floor, Neil sits down with Scott Nickell to dig deeper into week one of our Toy Stories series. Together they unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon, everything from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart to the cultural pressure young men face to delay marriage and family. Scott challenges the myths of adventure and success, points us back to faithfulness in the everyday, and names the upstream issues that ripple through families and culture when men step back instead of stepping up.

Where might God be calling you to stop being passive and take on responsibility?

Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell

What We Discuss:
• Why conferences can’t replace week-to-week discipleship
• Every man’s call to fight battles, live adventures, and rescue beauty, in real life, not just stories
• The cultural drift toward delay (marriage, kids, commitment)
• Faithfulness in “ordinary” callings
• The impact of fatherlessness and passivity in the home
• Practical steps for men to engage humbly and intentionally
