Hard Men Podcast

While churches are full of age specific programs today, the actual, biblical command to practice hospitality has fallen by the wayside. In this episode, I talk with Pastor Kevin Griffin about why we as a church need to recover the lost art of hospitality. We'll discuss practical issues, as well as biblical principles behind the practice.

Is the modern American diet a recipe for disaster? This episode unpacks the alarming rise in obesity rates over the past fifty years, spotlighting how the shift from active jobs to sedentary lifestyles and the explosion of ultra-processed foods have led to a public health crisis. Hear from thought leaders like Paul Saladino, RFK Jr., John Moody, and Joel Salatin as they champion a return to ancestral dietary practices, advocating for whole, nutrient-dense foods over today's processed alternatives. We'll also critique modern dietary guidelines and discuss the wisdom of figures like Vince Gironda, emphasizing the need to reclaim health through simple, whole-food-based nutrition.

Physical health and discipline are often neglected in Christian communities, and we examine why this is a critical oversight. By referencing scripture, we argue that maintaining one's physical well-being is essential for a productive and faithful life, especially for those in demanding pastoral roles. The conversation dives into the engineered addictiveness of modern processed foods, making a case for mindful eating and proper nutrition. Learn how unhealthy eating habits can sap energy and focus, and discover practical tips on transitioning to healthier food choices for long-term physical and spiritual health.

The homesteading and permaculture movements are experiencing a revival, and we explore their potential to improve food security and protect against totalitarianism. Inspired by the book "Sacred Cow" and experts like Raw Egg Nationalist, we uncover the manipulation of food production and its impact on consumer health. We provide practical strategies for adopting a whole foods lifestyle, from meal planning tips to understanding the nutritional value of simple, high-quality foods. This episode is a call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace traditional diets, self-sufficient practices, and a commitment to long-term health for the betterment of their lives and communities.

We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hard Men Podcast Fantasy Football League! This 16-team league for the $10/month Patreon tier is complete with competitive play, enticing prizes, and hilarious consequences for the losers. Check out the Patreon exclusive membership for more details.

Football isn't just a game; it's a cultural phenomenon and a formative experience for young men. Joining us is Andrew Isker, as we tackle the heated debates surrounding football's significance.

We dive deep into the role of sports in shaping masculinity, discussing how tackle football instills resilience, confidence, and strength in young boys. However, we also caution against the dangers of youth sports becoming an idol, where parents' excessive investment can sometimes overshadow more important aspects of life. Reminiscing about the golden era of Cornhusker football, we advocate for the revival of the fullback position and explore how economic and rule changes have reshaped modern football.

Our conversation doesn't stop at the field; we examine the intersection of politics and sports, including unusual endorsements and the impact of social movements on the game. We also provide an in-depth analysis of rookie quarterbacks and draft prospects, evaluating their potential as they transition to the NFL. From assessing Caleb Williams' career trajectory to predicting Bo Nix's breakout season, we cover it all. Plus, don't miss our week one NFL picks and commentary, where we offer insights and spirited debates on the season's opening matchups. Tune in for a comprehensive, entertaining, and thought-provoking episode that's sure to resonate with football enthusiasts and skeptics alike.

As the U.S. military has pushed the leftist agenda, it has inevitably emasculated and weakened itself. While the Air Force, for example, used to be a place for hard men like Robin Olds, one of the most decorated fighter pilots of all time, now it's just another bastion of DEI stupidity and Covid nonsense. In turn, like other branches, it has driven away the real men and American patriots who once made it great.

In this episode we'll talk with Ethan Senn, Chief of Staff at New Christendom Press, about his ten years in the Air Force as an A-10 pilot. Eventually Ethan was kicked out of the military for refusing to wear a mask during The Great Shamdemic.

We also talk Top Gun 2, real life Mavericks, and the need for fathers to teach their sons the martial virtues, something the military doesn't really do anymore.

Of all the things that became clear after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, perhaps topping the list was the inadequacy of women serving in Secret Service roles especially when the bullets were flying. We talk about why only men should serve in such roles, and why the push to get women into law enforcement roles in America is a disaster.

Join us as we explore the mythopoetic men’s movement, inspired by Robert Bly’s "Iron John," and how it aimed to fill the emotional void left by distant paternal figures. We'll uncover the cultural significance of this movement, which relied on Jungian psychology and pagan spirituality, examining its rise in the context of post-World War II alienation and the 1960s cultural shifts. We'll also talk about its compromises with feminism. 

In our conversation with Will Spencer, we dissect the evolving landscape of masculinity, especially in the transition from manufacturing to a service-centered economy. We tackle the introspective journey many men embark on and how therapeutic practices can sometimes lead to complacency. 

Wrapping up, we delve into the importance of brotherhood and authentic male relationships, contrasting mythopoetic values with modern movements like feminism and the red pill ideology. We explore the allure of Eastern mysticism within tech culture, the evolution of Burning Man, and the intersection of Christian nationalism with biblical masculinity.

The majority of Americans have been catechized to believe that psychologists are the experts when it comes to happiness and human flourishing. But as Abigail Shrier says in her new book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up," it's probably true that psychologists are the last people on earth to consult about how to raise healthy kids. Why is that?

In this episode, I talk with pastor Dan Berkholder about why psychotherapeutic methodologies are so anti-Christian and do more harm than good. We talk about iatrogenesis, the concept that healers—in this case therapists—actually do more harm than good.
