Why do so many men struggle to be emotionally available and why does vulnerability sometimes get punished instead of rewarded?

In this episode of PF Unfiltered, Pastor Femi, Tunde, and Kenneth unpack men's mental health, emotional suppression, Christian masculinity, relationships, and the pressure many African Christian men feel to always be strong, silent, and 'man up.' They talk about vulnerability in marriage, cultural expectations, fatherhood, emotional intelligence, and why modern conversations about masculinity often miss the real issue.

If you've ever wondered why men shut down emotionally, why opening up can feel dangerous, or how faith, culture, and relationships shape male vulnerability, this conversation is for you.
