Virtuous Men Podcast

Teamwork is the positive collaboration between two or more individuals to accomplish a common goal. One such example of teamwork is that of two men whose bond and dedication to their mutual passion cemented their names in the history books - Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. In this episode, we’ll share how their 1953 first ascent of the world’s tallest peak was a feat accomplished not just by their own individual mountaineering skills, but by their work as a cohesive unit.

Friendship is a close bond with another person that is less than a romance and more than an acquaintance. However deep a friendship goes, there remains the unspoken understanding that the other person adds value to the other’s life, that the person is a blessing not to be taken for granted. Though many friendships fade away, there are those that stand the test of time. Such was the case with the friendship between Sir Frederick Treves and Joseph Merrick. In this episode, we'll tell the story of how even though the two men could not have been more different, their bond left a legacy that quietly lives on to this day.

Responsiveness is the quality of reacting to a need or calling and meeting it with a positive, deliberate action. It is fundamental in marriage, parenting, in the workplace, and especially in times of adversity. The responsive man gives himself to a task while refusing to allow danger or discomfort to prevent him from doing what is required. One of history’s most vivid examples of responsiveness is the Biblical figure of Nehemiah. In this episode we will discover how his answer to a calling helped arouse his people out of shame and exile, and how his actions paved the way for historical events that still impact us to this very day.

Resistance is the refusal to accept or comply with something forced upon an individual or group of people, usually by political or military forces. At its core, it is any action that rejects oppression and subjugation and chooses instead to fight for liberty and self-determination. One of modern history’s most striking examples of resistance is the image of a young Chinese man standing in the way of a column of tanks in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. In this episode, we will tell the story of how this man's solitary action became the most recognizable symbol of resistance in modern history.

Loyalty is a steadfast dedication to a goal, a cause, a person or a group. While loyalty can be achieved out of ambition, it is often enacted out of selfless love. Loyalty is a virtue that is vital to life's most fundamental relationships, from the professional, to the familial, to the intimate. In this episode, we will explore the life of a man from the pages of literature, whose loyalty to his master is tested when two suitors come calling.
