What does it mean to be a man? Beyond character traits, this episode reveals the five specific roles that form the complete masculine journey—a pyramid that builds from the foundation all men share to the pinnacle many overlook.

The conversation begins with the role we all inherit yet rarely examine: being a son. Discover why understanding your place in a generational story isn't just psychological theory but the foundation for every other masculine responsibility. This often-neglected starting point explains why many men struggle with their identity.

As the pyramid builds through brother, maker, husband, and father, each role reveals both biological and spiritual dimensions. The framework challenges both traditional stereotypes and modern confusion by offering a comprehensive vision of masculine purpose rooted in biblical wisdom.

For young men seeking direction or older men wondering if they've missed something essential, this episode provides a roadmap for evaluating where you stand and what might be missing in your masculine development. The roles exist in tension with each other, but all must be embraced.
