What does it really mean to be a man?

In a world where masculinity is being redefined by culture, social media, relationships and society, many men are asking: Who am I? What is my purpose? What does it mean to lead, provide, take responsibility and become a man?

In this powerful episode of Becoming Men, we bring together three generations of men for an honest and thought-provoking conversation on manhood, identity, purpose, leadership, faith and the journey from boyhood to maturity.

We unpack:

• What actually defines a man beyond age, titles or success
• Why manhood is a journey — not a destination
• Where men are getting their identity from today
• The influence of social media on masculinity and identity
• The pressure men face to “be a man” without being shown how
• Why purpose and responsibility are central to manhood
• The role of fathers, mentors and older generations
• What younger men can learn from those who have walked before them
• Why men need other men to affirm, challenge and guide them
• What healthy leadership looks like in family, community and society
• Why conviction matters in a culture that constantly asks men to conform
• And ultimately, who should define what it means to be a man?

One of the most powerful themes throughout the conversation is that manhood is not about having all the answers. It is about becoming — growing in responsibility, identity, wisdom, purpose and character.

This is more than a conversation about men. It is a conversation about what we are passing from one generation to the next.

If you're a man trying to understand your identity, a father raising sons, a woman trying to understand the men in your life, or simply someone interested in what healthy manhood can look like today — this conversation is for you.

Watch, share and join the conversation.
