What the heck has happened to Kayne West? Dr. Phillip Chavez, an expert on character development who works with men, joins Trending with Timmerie to discuss the changes happening in Kanye West’s life and his comments on porn, abortion, and fatherless homes. They’ll discuss the rise of suicide among men and why our culture has contributed to this mental health crisis. You'll learn what group of people isn’t committing suicide. Finally they’ll emphasize why God as Father and King is fundamental to the Christian life and sane living.

Dr. Chavez shows the struggle women have in becoming the Beloved Daughter when men are emasculated and lose their place. If a man’s hearts was not opened up by his father and other male mentors, it will be difficult to open up to the women in his life. When women open themselves up to being led, being protected, and being provided for, men will more readily rise to the occasion. Women need mentors who can guide them to surrender to male leadership. A woman is understood best not from what she does, but from the core movements of her heart: to be received, to be surrendered, and to be selfless. The heart of the daughter is most central to a woman, for to be received and accepted reaches to the core of a woman’s psychic being. 

In this audio delivered at a past Phoenix Men’s conference Dr. Phil discusses some of the tougher aspects of manliness and the duties men need to fulfill. He points out many of the things men struggle with, including the dilemma of finding one’s purpose. One reason for this failure is that young men required training to overcome the fear of laying down their lives. This starts with training to a host of skills by other men. Men must summon other men in order to be settled and secure. And all men must be lead to something higher—to some purpose in which they make a difference. Listen now to learn more about these and other vital points about manliness.

Navigating an Authentic Men's Spirituality

In this Relevant Radio interview on the “Father’s and Son’s” episode, Dr. Phil Chavez discusses aspects of Men’s Spirituality with Chuck Neff. Some common struggles men face are identified and elaborated upon; and suggestions for moving forward are given. Dr. Chavez explains that often men struggle with fears, guilt, and a lost sense of personal identity. And in the supernatural realm, men feel lost as they neither understand nor can navigate what it means to be a priest, prophet, and king. Ultimately, to just “get me and my family to Heaven” does not satisfy. Each wants to make his contribution to “make a difference”. But this is hard, as men need a summons and—more often than not—need to work with their band of brothers to make this happen. These and other vital subjects are covered in this audio.

In this Audio Dr. Phil Chavez explains reasons behind the disconnection of men in the Church. This has become a widespread problem given that little appeals to the manly heart. Masculinity is not being summoned. Men feel out of place because of the manner in which the Faith is explained and worship is conducted. As regards a spiritual life, men find themselves stuck in complexities hard to navigate. The mentoring they need has become a lost art. Deep challenges exist understanding and maintaining a prayer life. Learn some ideas to help resolve these challenges.

In this presentation a compelling case is given to show that concerted mentoring of boys is vital to preserve their identity as a man—while also needful to keep them in the Church. Jason Craig explains how such guidance should be intentional and mentors must be clear on what they are doing and why they are doing it. This audio presentation is insightful as well as humorous. Jason presents some anecdotes and stories of his own mentoring successes. Special attention is given to his compelling theories on Rites of Passage; and he shows the steps in the process that lead young lads into a successful transition as a mature male in his community.

Mark Houck, founder of The King’s Men, delivers a powerful talk on how the hyper-sexualized culture impacts the development of a young man today. As he matures into adulthood, this dangerous, pornographic influence brings long-term effects such as addiction and deep sadness. Mark also presents the influence that childhood trauma, such as the loss of a father, has on the psychological and sexual development of a boy. Often, these painful experiences generate coping mechanisms that inevitably create “secrets that young men keep”.

Dr. Phil Chavez gives compelling teachings to promote sound psycho-sexual development of the adolescent male in this podcast. Many men fail to reach authentic happiness due to lack of healthy integration in human sexuality. While pointing out some facets of this problem, Dr. Phil explains ways to view sexuality with positivity and respect in order to avoid dynamics of guilt and shame. Young men need to embrace sexuality in an ennobled manner—as something they are to safeguard and protect. A well-formed sense of Chivalry helps a man view a woman as a subject to be honored and respected. No matter what the challenges are in society, a young man can be properly formed if he has mentors in his life to guide him and open up his heart.

Why are adult children cutting of their parents and “going no contact”? Misplaced individualism is leading to narcissism. Protests are destroying thousands of years of history in France. Why are violent protests the norm among the millennial generation? Could it be due to the rejection of masculinity? Feminism and modernity have rejected patriarchy, but goes this leave male leadership wanting?
