In this episode, we’re tackling a pressing cultural issue—the crisis of masculinity. You'll hear from Jefferson Bethke, a New York Times bestselling author and speaker who has spent years exploring what it means to live with purpose, faith, and biblical manhood. He says: “Men want a story worth living and sacrificing their whole life for it.”  Jefferson unpacks the confusion surrounding masculinity in today’s world. He challenges both the extremes of toxic masculinity and passive manhood, offering a vision of strength, leadership, and responsibility rooted in God’s design. Let’s listen in as he reminds us that true masculinity isn’t about dominance or passivity—it’s about servant leadership, strength under control, and living with intentionality. Resources
