    Ivy Insights

    The Hard Men Podcast is a refreshingly candid and thought-provoking podcast that challenges societal norms and encourages men to embrace their God-given roles as leaders, protectors, and providers. Hosted by Eric Conn, the podcast offers a no-holds-barred approach to discussing topics such as biblical manhood, cultural issues, and Christian living. It is a must-listen for those seeking honest and unfiltered conversations about what it means to be a man in today's world.

    One of the best aspects of The Hard Men Podcast is its directness and authenticity. Eric Conn does not shy away from addressing controversial or uncomfortable topics. He speaks with passion and conviction, delivering powerful messages that resonate with listeners. The podcast offers a much-needed counter-cultural perspective and challenges men to rise above societal expectations. The content is informative, inspiring, and encourages personal growth.

    While the honesty and directness of The Hard Men Podcast are its strengths, they can also be viewed as its weaknesses. Some may find Eric's style to be prickly or offensive to their sheltered sensibilities. The podcast does not cater to political correctness or tiptoe around sensitive topics. It confronts listeners with the truth of Scripture, which can be uncomfortable for those who are not used to such candid discussions.

    In conclusion, The Hard Men Podcast is a powerful and inspiring resource for men seeking guidance on how to live out their faith in a culture that often undermines biblical principles. Eric Conn's no-nonsense approach challenges listeners to examine their beliefs, embrace their responsibilities as men, and strive for personal growth. While it may not appeal to everyone due to its directness, those who are open-minded will find it refreshing and impactful. Overall, this podcast serves as an important call to arms for Christian men in today's world.

    How to Start Building Your Tribe: Who Should Be in It?

    Send us a text!When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe. They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.Find the book Building Your Band of Brothers here: https://www.amazon.com/Building-Your-Brothers-Stephen-MansfieldFuel your training with Mt.

    In 1934, Upton Sinclair ran for governor of California. During the campaign, he wrote a book, in the past tense, talking about all he accomplished as governor. The problem? He got crushed in the election bid. His talk and hype outpaced the work he needed to do to actually win the race. Like Sinclair, many of us can get ahead of ourselves with talk—about what we have or hope to accomplish. In the process, our hype game outpaces our actual accomplishments. In this episode, we'll talk about practical ways to make war with ego, or pride, which starts with the words we use. Who do we blame when things go wrong? Who do we give credit to when things go right? How does seeing ourselves as a student help us tame the beast of overgrown pride?

    Is the modern American diet a recipe for disaster? This episode unpacks the alarming rise in obesity rates over the past fifty years, spotlighting how the shift from active jobs to sedentary lifestyles and the explosion of ultra-processed foods have led to a public health crisis. Hear from thought leaders like Paul Saladino, RFK Jr., John Moody, and Joel Salatin as they champion a return to ancestral dietary practices, advocating for whole, nutrient-dense foods over today's processed alternatives. We'll also critique modern dietary guidelines and discuss the wisdom of figures like Vince Gironda, emphasizing the need to reclaim health through simple, whole-food-based nutrition.Physical health and discipline are often neglected in Christian communities, and we examine why this is a critical oversight. By referencing scripture, we argue that maintaining one's physical well-being is essential for a productive and faithful life, especially for those in demanding pastoral roles. The conversation dives into the engineered addictiveness of modern processed foods, making a case for mindful eating and proper nutrition. Learn how unhealthy eating habits can sap energy and focus, and discover practical tips on transitioning to healthier food choices for long-term physical and spiritual health.The homesteading and permaculture movements are experiencing a revival, and we explore their potential to improve food security and protect against totalitarianism. Inspired by the book "Sacred Cow" and experts like Raw Egg Nationalist, we uncover the manipulation of food production and its impact on consumer health. We provide practical strategies for adopting a whole foods lifestyle, from meal planning tips to understanding the nutritional value of simple, high-quality foods.

    Join us as we explore the mythopoetic men's movement, inspired by Robert Bly's "Iron John," and how it aimed to fill the emotional void left by distant paternal figures. We'll uncover the cultural significance of this movement, which relied on Jungian psychology and pagan spirituality, examining its rise in the context of post-World War II alienation and the 1960s cultural shifts. We'll also talk about its compromises with feminism. In our conversation with Will Spencer, we dissect the evolving landscape of masculinity, especially in the transition from manufacturing to a service-centered economy. We tackle the introspective journey many men embark on and how therapeutic practices can sometimes lead to complacency. Wrapping up, we delve into the importance of brotherhood and authentic male relationships, contrasting mythopoetic values with modern movements like feminism and the red pill ideology. We explore the allure of Eastern mysticism within tech culture, the evolution of Burning Man, and the intersection of Christian nationalism with biblical masculinity. Follow Will on the Renaissance of Men.

    The majority of Americans have been catechized to believe that psychologists are the experts when it comes to happiness and human flourishing. But as Abigail Shrier says in her new book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up," it's probably true that psychologists are the last people on earth to consult about how to raise healthy kids. Why is that?In this episode, I talk with pastor Dan Berkholder about why psychotherapeutic methodologies are so anti-Christian and do more harm than good.

    The socio-political landscape in America is currently a bed of hot coals, rife with tension and discontent, as the recent viral song "Rich Men North of Richmond" from Oliver Anthony demonstrates.  There's a massive disconnect between elites and the working class. Globalism vs. Populism. Christianity Today vs. actual Christians in America today. Joining us for a captivating discussion of this situation is Nate Fischer of New Founding, bringing to light the widening disconnect between the elites and the middle class, and the growing irrelevance of the conservative movement. With Nate, we dive deep into power dynamics and network influences that drive these narratives, exploring the fragility of the current globalist, post-war consensus system.Be prepared for a candid examination of the escalating tension between the liberal order and the increasing use of hard power, such as police threats and arrests, to enforce compliance. We saw this with the recent Trump indictments. Shifting gears, we also explore the appeal of alternative ideologies, the skepticism towards institutionalized food and health systems, the rise of accounts like Raw Egg Nationalist and Bronze Age Pervert, and an alarming trend of labeling anything skeptical of the technocratic regime as 'fascist' or 'Nazi'. Our conversation with Nate culminates in a nuanced understanding of the evolving evangelical movement, its power dynamics, and the motivations behind denouncing rivals. What about the phrase, "No enemies to the right?" What does this mean? We scrutinize the Tim Keller-inspired transition from fundamentalism to anti-fundamentalism and its implications for wealth building.
