About Us
Guiding Men to Grow, Lead, and Serve in Christ
Bonafide Man Podcast was born from a simple conviction: men need a place to get real with God again. Co-founders Dave Johnson and Marty McLain felt a deep calling to create a space where honesty replaces pressure, faith replaces confusion, and brotherhood replaces isolation.
Through heartfelt conversations, raw stories, and Scripture-rooted truth, this podcast challenges men to grow, to lead, and to walk boldly in the purpose God has created for them. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, accountability, and finding strength through Christ and community.
Here, men are reminded that their journey matters, their struggles are seen, and their faith can rise again. This is a movement toward biblical manhood, deeper connection, and real transformation.

Faith in Action
Living Faith Beyond Sunday
“Beyond Sunday” encourages believers to take their faith beyond the walls of the church. David Johnson highlights how many Christians attend services on Sunday but fail to actively live out their faith during the week. Through compelling real-life stories, the book illustrates the difference between passive faith and active discipleship, showing how small acts of service and intentional living can have a profound impact on others.
The book challenges readers to embrace a “holy discontent,” using discomfort as a catalyst for change. Johnson emphasizes that we were not saved to sit on the sidelines but to serve with purpose. By applying the lessons in this book, readers are inspired to turn belief into action, making faith a daily practice rather than a weekly routine.
Judah’s Legacy
Kings Who Shaped a Nation
“The Crown Has Fallen” by Marty McLain explores the history of the kings of Judah and how their leadership shaped the destiny of the nation. Through a clear and engaging overview, the book shows how each king’s character, choices, and relationship with God influenced the strength or decline of the kingdom. McLain highlights the importance of obedience, faithfulness, and moral integrity in maintaining stability and blessing within Judah.
As the narrative unfolds, the book explains how repeated failures and unfaithful leadership eventually led to the fall of the Davidic dynasty and the exile of the people. Alongside historical insights, McLain offers spiritual lessons that encourage readers to examine the impact of their own decisions and commitments. It serves as a thoughtful reflection on leadership, responsibility, and the consequences of turning away from God’s guidance.
Life’s Wilderness
Finding Faith in the Wait
“The Wilderness” by Marty McLain explores the challenging seasons of life where progress feels slow, doors seem closed, and God’s promises appear distant. Through relatable storytelling and biblical insight, McLain explains how these “wilderness moments” are not signs of abandonment but opportunities for growth. He draws from the lives of biblical figures such as Joseph, David, and Paul, showing how each endured long periods of waiting before stepping into their God-given purpose.
The book encourages readers to trust that even in isolation, uncertainty, or hardship, God is shaping their character and preparing them for what lies ahead. McLain’s message is one of hope, reminding us that the wilderness is often the pathway to transformation. With practical wisdom and personal reflection, he helps readers recognize the spiritual value of waiting and embrace the purpose behind life’s most difficult seasons.
