In this episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins sits down with theologian, author, and Exodus 90 Director of Content Dr. R. Jared Staudt for a timely conversation about the renewal of Catholic manhood. Dr. Staudt unpacks the origins of Exodus 90, a 90-day spiritual boot camp rooted in prayer, asceticism, and fraternity, and how it has transformed the lives of over 200,000 men worldwide. Together, Jason and Dr. Staudt explore the crisis of fatherhood and disengagement in the Church, the allure and pitfalls of the modern “manosphere,” and why the Church must recover the forgotten language of asceticism. Drawing from the lives of the saints, the Desert Fathers, and holy kings like Blessed Karl of Austria, Dr. Staudt shares how true manhood is forged in sacrifice, community, and grace. Whether you’re a father, a young man searching for purpose, or simply someone invested in the spiritual renewal of our culture, this episode will both challenge and inspire you to embrace the cross and rediscover what authentic Christian leadership looks like today.
