Entering mature manhood with both feet requires doing the "inner-work". A man must get right with himself, his past, and where he comes from. Once he's done this, he is freed up to do the "outer work" of acquiring, accomplishing, achieving, and becoming the man that he wants to be. In today's episode, Brendan explains the ins and outs of what can be a complicated and confusing topic for many men.

(04:55) Intro

(05:16) Defining Inner Work vs Outer Work

(08:56) Men fall into these two extremes

(12:05) Which is more important? Which should a person start with?

(14:11) Why do men avoid inner work?

(18:51) How to actually do inner work.

(25:22) How does Christ tie into all of this?

Is a wife's sin her husband's responsibility, and is there even such a thing as an "abusive wife"? Our highly feministic culture usually suggests that any wrong a wife does in her marriage was somehow triggered by her husband's poor behaviour or poor performance. This thinking leads to not only a whole lot of marriage dysfunction, but sadly a whole lot of divorce.

In the first ever Masculine Revival Podcast interview, Brendan sits down with Dr. David Edgington to discuss several controversial topics pertaining to marriage and how a couple can flip an unhealthy marriage dynamic into a functional one that honours each other and God.
