Episode 22 FieldCraft The Framework with Will Chenault

January often functions like a personal State of the Union—a moment to pause, take inventory, and get honest about where things really stand.

In this episode of Dr. Pepper & Friends, Pepper is joined by his friend and colleague Will Chenault for a deeper conversation about the current state of manhood. Not politically, but personally, relationally, spiritually, and emotionally.

This conversation explores why so many men who are responsible, faithful, and doing what needs to be done still feel quietly worn down—and why strength alone often isn’t enough to sustain real life.

Out of those observations came a framework Pepper has been developing called FieldCraft. Not as a product or a pitch, but as a way of naming what men seem to need in order to stay steady under pressure.

This episode serves as an orientation—naming the terrain and the need.

It also kicks off a short January series called The State of the Man. In the episodes ahead, Pepper will be joined by pastors, counselors, and other thoughtful voices to explore key areas shaping men’s lives today, including:

• Emotions

• Grit

• Purpose

• Authenticity

• Adventure

These conversations aren’t about hype, fixing men, or quick answers. They’re about clarity, honesty, and what actually helps men live grounded lives over time.

If this resonates, stay close. More conversations are coming.
