Authentic Masculinity

The Lost Art of Confession: Why Men Who Hide Never Heal


Listen Later

The moment someone asks "How was your day?" and you respond with "Fine" - you've missed an opportunity that's more powerful than you realize. This episode exposes the hidden cost of living unconfessed in a culture that encourages men to maintain a façade.

Beyond the religious connotation of admitting sins, true confession is about something far more fundamental—the courage to translate your inner world into language others can understand. The inability to name what's happening inside you creates a ceiling on every relationship in your life.

From practical techniques to overcome the "I don't know" syndrome to understanding the biblical connection between confession and healing, this conversation reveals why addictions, rage, and disconnect flourish in the absence of meaningful disclosure.

For men who've been hiding behind competence while their inner lives remain unknown, this episode offers both challenge and hope. The path to becoming "impact-making" men requires something many have never attempted—letting themselves truly be known.
