In this powerful conversation, Jason and Lauren Vallotton unpack one of the deepest needs of our time: the restoration of godly masculinity. Drawing from personal stories, biblical wisdom, and their experience walking with men and families, they explore why a man’s role in the home matters more than ever—and how the next generation is suffering without clear markers of maturity and initiation.

Whether you're a father, mentor, or just a man asking deeper questions about your purpose, this episode will stir your spirit and point you toward courageous leadership. It’s also an invitation to join the movement at this year’s BraveCo Conference, where men are being called up, healed, and commissioned.

In This Episode:

• Why men matter in the home
  The emotional and spiritual covering fathers provide—and what happens when it's missing.
  
  
• What sons need from their fathers and male mentors
  Identity, blessing, and challenge. The sacred elements of healthy male initiation.
  
  
• The pain of passive or absent masculinity
  How a culture without rites of passage has left young men lost, angry, or apathetic.
  
  
• Stories from the field
  Real moments of breakthrough, father wounds healed, and identity restored at past BraveCo events.
  
  
• Why the BraveCo Conference is different
  It’s not hype—it’s holy. A sacred space where men return to the Father, face their pain, and rise into purpose.
