Canyon Pathways Podcast
The Canyon Pathways podcast invites men into the journey of sonship, and invests in them through creative content, honest conversation, and inspiring stories of men around the world so that the listener leaves encouraged and equipped to live like a son and lead like a father.
Our goal with the podcast is twofold: 1) to invest more deeply into our existing community and provide ongoing content and community spaces for them, and 2) to expand the community by inviting more men around the world to this global campfire.
So, welcome to the table of sonship—we’re glad you’re here!

UNITY Convo: Staying at the Table w/ Steve Njenga
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Canyon Pathways Podcast, Sherman Bradley sits down with Kenyan leader and friend Steve Njenga for a heartfelt conversation on unity—not as agreement, but as courageous togetherness.
Steve shares his personal journey of navigating difference, staying present in moments of tension, and choosing relationship over retreat. Together, Sherman and Steve reflect on what it means to stay at the table—especially when life, faith, or leadership bring us face-to-face with discomfort.
With the posture of sons and the wisdom of lived experience, this episode invites us to see unity not as something we create, but as something we receive when we choose presence over pride, grace over fear, and connection over control.
Key Takeaways

- Staying at the table—especially when it's uncomfortable—is a holy act.
