What defines being a man? Is it lifting heavy weights or driving a big truck? Is it the amount of money you make or how fast you can chug a beer? What if it’s none of those things?

We are living in a time of cultural confusion when it comes to genuine manhood. History would show that when men lack true identity and purpose, everyone suffers. That’s why Brant Hansen’s new book, “The Men We Need” is so important. In it, he outlines the everyday choices that men can make to cultivate healthy atmospheres around them and not toxic ones.

In this episode, Bryan and Brant discuss some of the cultural lies we are having to navigate as men and how we can find a perfect example of authentic manhood in the character of Jesus.
