I am a bearded man, part of a larger bearded community. But most importantly, I am a Christian man. As men, husbands, and fathers - How do issues, problems, and setbacks define us? Off the Bearded Path is a podcast to get beyond the beard, and talk about problems that affect all men, beard or no beard. Let’s come together to become men who work to build and lift each other up - in a world that wants to knock us down. Thanks so much for tuning in for episode 1, an introduction to Off the Bearded Path.

I am Ken, also known as Bluegrass Bearded on social media . I love what I do, and I love my beard. I have great relationships with other men, and women, in the beard world – companies and other content creators. With what we do, though, our conversations and creativity are 99% beard related. But who are the people behind the beards, logos, and company names? What problems do they face? How do current events affect our lives as men in this world? That’s what I want to focus on. And to be clear, this podcast won’t just feature those in the beard community. This show is designed to talk to anyone, beard or no beard. I will sometimes have friends and colleagues from my hometown, local churches, local businesses, or anywhere outside of my area. The beauty of this show is that we can host anyone in the world – from the average joe like to me, to public figures or celebrities – anyone who would like to hang out and discuss the issues. We all face issues, and we all see those issues through a different lens. My goal here is to come together as men and discuss issues as men, and to find ways to life each other up and help us all move forward in this crazy world we live in.
