How to be a Self-Controlled Young Man

Why are so many young men returning to church today?

In this episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry examines one of the most important virtues a young man can cultivate: self-control.

Drawing from Titus 2:6, Grant explains why the Apostle Paul gives young men a singular command: "Urge the younger men to be self-controlled." What does biblical self-control mean? Why is it essential for spiritual growth and perseverance? And how can Christians cultivate self-discipline in a culture driven by distraction, temptation, and impulsiveness?

This episode explores the biblical foundations of self-control, the danger of an undisciplined life, and the gospel-centered motivation for pursuing holiness. You'll discover that true self-control is not mere willpower—it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and the result of finding greater joy in Christ than in the fleeting pleasures of sin. Whether you're a young man seeking direction, a parent raising sons, a pastor discipling the next generation, or a believer pursuing greater holiness, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.
