The story of one our members from Maniphesto and his journey from his Christian roots in Poland, through atheism, moving to Denmark and experimenting with new age spirituality and tantra and then finally back home to Christ again.

I interviewed Thomas Finn, who runs the podcasts, Jeg skal lige forstå (  @Jegskalligeforstå  ) on Masculinity Danish and Ild i Hjertet (  @Ildihjertetpodcast  ) focused on bringing fire and heart to relationships. When I contacted him, I had no idea that his life was so similar to mine, and especially that he had also converted to Christianity. So while there are certainly many differences between Thomas and I, not least in our approach to Christianity, I appreciated this as a great conversation and Thomas and I will certainly be talking again. Thomas and Maniphesto discussed various topics related to masculinity, fatherhood, and the impact of traditional values on society. They also expressed their concerns about the promotion of 'toxic masculinity', the subversion of Western society, and the negative effects of black-and-white thinking. Lastly, they discussed the paradox of modern society's pursuit of material comfort and its impact on overall well-being, the importance of maintaining a natural lifestyle, and the weakening of masculinity.

A conversation with Fr Michael Butler on the Orthodox Royal Path in a time of division and polarisation. We cover Fr Seraphim Rose, Church Fathers such as St John Cassian, topics such as evolution, and the current political climate especially in the USA.

Maniphesto and Father John Strickland discussed the importance of understanding history, particularly from an orthodox Christian perspective, and the role of the Orthodox Church in providing a transformative process for modern individuals seeking a life of purpose and meaning. They also explored the historical and cultural developments that led to the division between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, and the disintegration of orthodox Christianity after the great schism. Lastly, they discussed the challenges and opportunities facing men in contemporary society, and the need to understand the past in order to move forward and overcome the challenges of the present.

A conversation with Fr Josiah Trenham on “Integrity” and “Being a Man of Your Word” - centered on the Orthodox Christian faith. As a father of three sons and an Orthodox Christian, I know that the most important measure of my success in fatherhood depends on my ability to lead my sons to Christ. I know that my actions speak far louder than my words, so thus being a man of integrity will determine my success. I would like to understand better what St Paul says in Romans 7: "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." And especially how I am to respond in the face of that - what are the sources of my own duplicity, twisted intentions, and darkened heart, how do I become more aware of these things in everyday life, and what am I to do about it. In this conversation, I particularly ask, what is the reason that I am unable to recognize, even less control my inability to do what I say I want to do? And how do I handle my anger in a way that can bring me and my family closer to God. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:58 - The topic of Integrity in Jesus Christ 4:44 - St Paul as a model of human integrity 11:17 - Christian Hypocrisy 13:50 - Fake vulnerability vs true vulnerability in Christ 19:36 - On the wickedness of judging others 25:05 - The danger of anger 28:34 - What we should be angry about? 30:14 - Harnessing anger for courage 34:30 - St Moses the Black on prioritising your Life in Christ 38:35 - How to learn to see the Lord's providence in your life 40:33 - Seeking Christ earnestly, with integrity 42:59 - Are you thrilled about participating in Divine Service? 45:04 - Seek First the Kingdom of God 48:18 - Male friendships for integrity

Maniphesto was started as a partnership with Alexander Bard and myself in 2016. After some years, we grew to a state where I realised there were unreconcilable differences in our vision and values, meaning that working together was impossible, leading to us parting ways in 2022. It's no secret that our differences stem from my conversion to Orthodox Christianity. Especially when I saw that so many men were struggling with extreme confusion about their sexuality and attempted to find a pragmatic framework to address some of the worst problems, then we saw how far apart we were. Since then we have had one conversation - a panel debate in Berlin on the subject of marriage. This is our second conversation. ******************************************************************** Read more about Maniphesto: ►https://maniphesto.com/about Take our free men's life assessment: ►https://maniphesto.com/ Join an online men's group with Maniphesto Core: ►https://maniphesto.com/core-member/ Find us on your preferred platform: ►https://linktr.ee/maniphesto

A conversation on the connection between masculinity and virtue with Fr Josiah Trenham. Fr Josiah starts in a surprising place to illustrate how far off we have gone from the path given the role of feminism, looking at shoulder pads in women's suits. He then goes on to illustrate a beautiful example of how men can lead with integrity and love. We particularly investigate four areas for the development of masculine virtue: 1. Participation in the divine services of the Church centered around the Eucharist 2. Sports, athletics, and military service 3. Marriage 4.

A conversation with bio-hacker and "applied neuroscience strategist" Jonathan Roseland of Limitless Mindset, comparing our approaches. During the conversation, I mentioned this conversation with Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, and Jonathan Pageau:    • Douglas Murray and Jonathan Pageau | ...   I was initially pretty skeptical about Jonathan, especially with his references to "tantra" and what smelt a lot like transhumanism to me. I grilled him a little before having him on, and appreciated his openness to conversation and learning, as well as his commitment to his marriage, clarity about monogamy, and that he was clearly finding a path between science and spirituality in his search for answers in life.

Paul Robson describes what he sees as the fundamental root of confusion in the crisis of manhood and masculinity. Years of focusing on toxic masculinity and telling negative stories about men and manhood has led us to confusion. Especially we tend to lack the ability to discern between Courage and Pride as well as between Humility and Timidity. Humility is the central and governing principle of Maniphesto's 10 Principles.

The Virgin is perhaps one of the most central archetypes in the development of our society, western civilisation, and all of Christendom. And yet we have lost touch with it. Having grown up protestant, so virginity was something that my parents thought that I should maintain, but not exactly popular amongst my school friends. Having become Orthodox, I can see the incredible value and honour given to purity, chastity, and of course also to the Theotokos, the Mother of God, and also the importance that she is EVER Virgin. I am still trying to understand this, and so it was really useful for me when Maximillian Ravn came and joined our Core fellowship. A student of Theology in Denmark, but more importantly has personally experienced the power of the Virgin, rather than just studying ideas about her. I got a lot of value from our last conversation and then asked him to tell his story. It was an even more powerful story than I expected.

In this week's Maniphesto Core Leadership Meeting, we had a fascinating conversation about the meeting point between therapy and men's work. As a group, we explored the different approaches and philosophies of these two distinct practices and discussed how they can complement each other in supporting men's emotional and psychological well-being. Men's work is a term used to describe a variety of approaches and practices that aim to support men in developing greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. This can involve group workshops, retreats, coaching, and mentorship programs. On the other hand, therapy is a more traditional approach to mental health, focusing on identifying and addressing emotional and psychological issues through one-on-one sessions with a trained therapist. During our conversation, we explored the benefits of both men's work and therapy, and how they can work together to create a holistic approach to men's mental health. For example, men's work can provide a supportive community and sense of belonging, while therapy can offer a safe space to explore and work through deeper emotional issues. We also discussed the importance of finding the right approach for each individual. While some men may benefit from a more structured therapeutic approach, others may find greater support through the community and group-oriented approach of men's work. If you're interested in learning more about the intersection of therapy and men's work, this conversation is a must-watch.
