Fr. Peter Jocelyn of St. Alban's Pro-Cathedral in Oviedo, Florida, joins us to discuss godly masculinity and leadership in the domestic church. This conversation explores the feminization of Western culture, the absence of men in church life, and practical steps for cultivating authentic Christian manhood. Topics include the difference between healthy and toxic expressions of masculinity and femininity, why young men are increasingly drawn to traditional liturgical churches, the plague of pornography, the importance of self-discipline and a rule of life, and how fathers can lead their families through daily prayer and confession. Fr. Jocelyn emphasizes that culture is "the making of men and women by men and women"—requiring intentional formation rather than passive drift. The discussion addresses challenges facing single men, what women should look for in godly men, and how both sexes must work together to form Christian culture. Anyone concerned about raising sons, cultivating masculine virtue, or understanding the cultural moment should listen to this discussion.
