November 11 A 50K Ultra-Marathon With The Boys
Send us a text!
None of us would call ourselves "ultra runners", but that didn't stop us from signing up for a 50 Kilometer Mountain Trail Race. In this episode, we talk through our experience at the Fall Creek Beast 50K in South Eastern Idaho. From muddy conditions to mid-race injuries and medical conditions, we discuss the mindset and tactics needed to train for and finish an ultra.
What does resolve look like once the excitement wears off? What goes through your head when things get tough and there are still many miles to go? And why is it important for men to experience shared challenges together?

September 16 Forming Young Men: Team Sports, Suffering, and Virtue
Send us a text!
In this episode, we sit down in the new studio to discuss the role team sports play in forming the whole man. Western thought has long understood that a man's formation involves both the mental and the physical—not one at the expense of the other. From the classical tradition to the Christian understanding of discipline and suffering, the formation of young men has always required more than simply educating the mind.
As we seek a better way to educate our children than the modern public school system, we must be careful not to abandon good things simply because the mainstream culture has turned them into idols. Team sports can be one of those good things: an arena where young men learn discipline, courage, sacrifice, brotherhood, humility, and how to bear the yoke in their youth.
