Ep. 49 - Built Men: Killing Drift (Part 2 of 8)

In Episode 49 of Joy Hour, Tom Lyman continues **Part 2 of the 8-part Built Men series** with a focused session on **killing drift**. Built Men is a growing brotherhood of faith-based men who meet virtually every Tuesday night, stay connected throughout the week, and challenge one another to grow with discipline, purpose, accountability, and God at the center. This series gives listeners a look into the conversations happening inside that group, where men are learning to stop drifting, take ownership, and build lives that hold steady. This episode is built around Hebrews 2:1 and the warning to give careful attention to what we have heard, so we do not let it slip. Drift rarely happens all at once. No man plans to drift away from God, his marriage, his purpose, his health, or his convictions. It usually starts quietly: skipping what once mattered, lowering standards little by little, getting too comfortable, becoming too busy, and tolerating what once would have been rejected. Tom talks about the cost of drift, including lost clarity, lost momentum, weakened leadership, and damaged relationships. He also explains why discipline is the anchor that keeps a man grounded. You do not fix drift with emotion. You fix it with awareness, intentionality, and action. This episode challenges men to identify one area where they have drifted, recommit to one discipline they stopped or softened, and tell another man where they are resetting. Where have you drifted, and what discipline do you need to return to?
