In this episode Tate and Ethan review Steve Wilkins' book "Face to Face" on the topic of intentional hospitality and Christian friendship.

This is an often overlooked skill and practice in the church today, and one that must absolutely be recovered. A thick culture is built through deep friendships and deep friendships are built through the aggressive pursuit of hospitality.

How can we better cultivate true friendships, and what are the practical ways that we can make our homes and lives welcoming places to be?

Stories of the wild, American frontier are an essential part of the American mythos, and for over 100 years the Western film has been the primary conduit for telling these great tales.

In this episode of The Hard Men Podcast, Tate & Ethan throw on their hats, light some cigars, sip some whiskey, and talk through some of the most iconic Westerns ever made.

What are some of the great Westerns every man should be familiar with? How can we use these films to inspire us and our generations? And how are we letting these stories help form our cultural identity here in Ogden?

In this episode of the Hard Men Podcast Ethan Senn and Tate Taylor sit down to wrap up the series by describing the different brotherhoods, groups, and guilds of Refuge Church.

When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe. 

They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.

Men of today are starved for brotherhood. Close male friendships, forged through trial and fire, have been replaced by high definition screens and Saturday ball games. 

Leisure time with friends isn’t a bad thing at all—but it is not where the process of iron sharpening iron occurs. In this episode, we talk about masculine friendship and tribes, specifically Stephen Mansfield's book Building Your Band of Brothers.

Boomers, and old men in general, have a hard time letting go of thrones, seats of power, or inheritances. Instead of passing them on, in envy they crush young men, whom they see as threats. Is this a new phenomenon? 

It turns out, it’s a tale as old as time. In this episode, we talk with Thomas Achord about Jason and the Argonauts, an Ancient Greek tale, and how it applies today.

 It used to be that went sent our boys into groups like the Boy Scouts of America to train for manhood. But as those organizations have drifted left, we lack male spaces for discipleship and formation for young men. At St. Brendan’s Academy and Refuge Church, we’re trying to forge a new path forward. 

Recently, pastor Ethan Senn and Tate Taylor took some of the young men from Refuge Church on a field training exercise in the high Uintas of Utah. During their time in the mountains, the boys learned land navigation, fire building, firearms handling, and various other survival skills. It’s all part of the Titus 2 program, which aims to train boys in hard skills and mental fortitude in preparation for manhood.

In this episode, we talk with Tate Taylor about why men need spaces to physically push themselves, as well as the New Christendom Games that will take place at our conference in June. We'll talk about the funeral games in The Aeneid, and why older men should be excited to see young men hardening their bodies through physically demanding efforts. Tate walks us through the qualifier for the Games, and talks about what the competition will include at the conference.
