We're launching the Foundation for Fathers, and it's going to transform how we support dads navigating divorce. This nonprofit will provide free and low-cost resources, support groups, workshops, and legal education to fathers facing custody challenges—especially those without access to professional services.What makes this announcement truly revolutionary is our partnership with Will Black, founder of Sharing The Credit. Will has pioneered a method that turns credit card processing fees into sustainable funding for charities like ours. Rather than these fees going to banks, they can be redirected to support divorced fathers without costing businesses a penny more. In fact, 98.5% of businesses actually save money while making a meaningful difference.For divorced fathers, this partnership means more accessible coaching, free community memberships, and scholarship opportunities when they need it most. If you know any business that processes credit cards—from restaurants to law firms, especially divorce attorneys—connecting them with us could help fund critical resources while potentially saving them money. Just twenty participating businesses could fund our programs for an entire year.

Superman marks a welcome shift from the cynicism of recent superhero films, replacing the wearisome “men are bad” narrative with something timeless and uplifting—a hero who reflects God-given masculine virtues without shame or irony. At its core, this film offers more than entertainment; it offers hope rooted in moral clarity. James Gunn's direction stands out not only for its thrilling storytelling, but also for its ability to highlight strong female characters without caving to the ideological noise that has plagued modern franchises.Join James and Jeremiah from what sets this portrayal of women apart is the depth of the writing. Lois Lane is portrayed as courageous, intelligent, and resilient, yet her strength is coupled with humility and vulnerability—qualities that reflect a biblical understanding of strength under control. She is no caricature, but rather a fully realized character who complements rather than competes with the male lead. It's a refreshing return to the kind of storytelling that gave us enduring figures like Princess Leia and Sarah Connor—women who were strong, not in spite of femininity, but through it.At the heart of the film is Superman's inner conflict—his yearning to live as humble Clark Kent while carrying the enormous responsibility of his supernatural calling. This echoes the Christian journey: living as ordinary people in a fallen world, while bearing the image of a holy and eternal God. One scene in particular resonates on a spiritual level—when Superman opens his heart to his earthly father, basking in the sun's healing rays. It mirrors the experience of confession and repentance before our Heavenly Father, where light brings both conviction and restoration. "It's not your past that's important,” his father says, “it's your choices that make you who you are." A clear allusion to redemption and free will—core tenets of Christian theology.This tension between our temporal struggles and divine purpose speaks to a deeper truth: we are created not for mediocrity, but for greatness rooted in God's plan. Superman's desire to save, to sacrifice, and to rise above is a reflection of the imago Dei—the image of God within us. The film's striking visual of chasms opening in reality, caused by Lex Luthor's moral decay, powerfully illustrates how sin fractures identity, purpose, and the created order.Looking for a superhero film that entertains without compromising truth? Superman delivers humor, action, and soul-stirring insight. It reminds us that strength and virtue are not outdated—they're eternal. Let us know your thoughts: Could this signal a revival of storytelling grounded in faith, family, and purpose? Find an Orthodox Church near you today.

What does it mean to be a "feminist dad"? Maybe a better place to start is asking: what does it mean to be a feminist at all... and why is that term so controversial? There are many ideas and misunderstandings associated with the concept of feminism, and in August of 2021, we were fortunate to explore feminism and fatherhood with the brilliant Jordan Shapiro: author, educator, and senior fellow at the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. In his acclaimed book, Father Figure: How to Be a Feminist Dad, Jordan unpacks how traditional ideas of masculinity shape our parenting, why inclusivity matters, and what it takes to raise "radically inclusive" kids in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're new to the topic or ready to challenge what you thought you knew, this Rewind episode is full of big ideas and practical takeaways.Topics include:•  Fatherhood as an evolving, not fixed, role shaped by changing ideas about masculinity and gender.•  Embracing feminism in parenting by modeling inclusivity, equality, and respect for all.•  Challenging traditional masculine norms and embracing vulnerability and growth as a dad.•  Prioritizing responsibility and adaptability over authority in fatherhood.•  The importance of self-reflection and open dialogue about gender, identity, and family roles.•  And more!LINKS:Farther Figure: How To Be a Feminist DadJordan Shapiro (official website)Jordan Shapiro (Twitter)Jordan Shapiro (Instagram)Red Vault AudioCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube)MD (TikTok) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What if your deepest desires—even the ones that sometimes feel overwhelming or confusing—weren't obstacles to overcome but rocket fuel for your spiritual journey? In this profound exploration of authentic masculinity, Jack and Mark Schmitt unpack how the Claymore Battle Plan helps men redirect their passions toward their divine purpose.Drawing from Jack's childhood memories of adventure, battle, and beauty, we discover how these core masculine themes reflect our deepest spiritual longings. That magnetic pull toward beauty you've experienced? It's actually a divine spark designed to draw you out of yourself and into communion with God. The conversation takes a practical turn as Jack and Mark address the daily battlefield of the human heart. Rather than repressing desires or indulging them, they offer a third way: opening our passions to God and allowing Him to transform them. When you notice beauty that stirs something in you—whether a person or anything that awakens longing—you can immediately redirect that spark toward gratitude and prayer.This approach reveals an extraordinary truth: your temptations aren't roadblocks to sanctity but can set you on the very path itself. Jacks Latest Blog Young Men United in the Eucharist: Heroically Rebuilding the Three Necessary SocietiesFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalSubscribe to our Newly Resurrected YouTube Channel!Sign up for our Newsletter: https://jp2renew.org/Support the show

Boys today are being told to man up by the right and sit down by the left. Coming of age in the shadow of #MeToo and wading through algorithms rife with manosphere content, many young men are accepting the far right's simple answers and leaning into traditional masculinity…without realizing it's stunting their emotional development. Others are letting technology isolate and depress them. What is it about boys' psychology that makes them so vulnerable to the Internet Age? How does patriarchy lead well-intentioned parents to treat their sons less affectionately? When will men have a liberation movement—and do they deserve one? Ruth Whippman, author of BoyMom, sits down with BoyDad Jon to unpack it all.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

One of the most common ways guys ruin their dating lives is by putting women on a pedestal. They believe they aren't enough and that they're lucky if a woman agrees to go on a date with them. Women instinctively pick up on this. They'll sense that they have all the power—that they could easily get you if they wanted—which makes you considerably less attractive to them. The easiest way to fix this is by reframing your mindset and starting to believe that you are the prize, and that she's lucky a champion like you is giving her the time of day. In today's episode, you'll learn how to literally rewire your brain so that YOU are the one who chooses HER.

In this episode of the Man Warrior King podcast, host Matt Hallock explores how the desire to please God can accidentally lead to passivity in marriage. He emphasizes the importance of taking action and partnering with God rather than constantly waiting FOR God. Through biblical examples, particularly the story of Jonathan, Matt encourages men to take initiative in their marriages and lives. He also discusses practical steps for change and highlights resources available for men seeking transformation.TakeawaysYour desire to please God can lead to inaction.Passivity in marriage can lead to deterioration.Women are attracted to men who take action.God desires partnership with us in our actions.Moses was rebuked for inaction; God wants us to move forward.Jonathan took initiative without direct revelation from God.Taking action can initiate God's miraculous work.You have a green light to act until told otherwise.Transformation can feel effortless with the right mindset.Resources like the Masculine Husband program can facilitate change.Pick up your copy of The DNA of a Man here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/dna-2025Join The Masculine Husband 3-month Marriage Intensive here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/masculinehusbandSubscribe to Matt and Man Warrior King on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@manwarriorking/Chapters00:00 The Desire to Please God: A Double-Edged Sword07:25 Partnership with God: Action vs. Inaction12:56 Taking Initiative: The Story of Jonathan18:50 Practical Steps for Marital Improvement25:07 Transformative Change: The Masculine Husband Program27:27 Outro exported.mp3

It's a surprisingly poignant time capsule of late-‘90s anxiety, and the Taste Buds break it all down.Censorship in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and UncutNo movie waged war with the MPAA quite like this one. The Taste Buds analyze how South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut skewers moral panic, parental outrage, and the hypocrisy of the film rating system. From the “R” rating controversy to the meta-commentary built into the plot, this section reveals why censorship is the film's true villain.Masculinity and War: Boys Being BoysSouth Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut builds its central conflict around immature boys triggering a global catastrophe. The Taste Buds examine how the film employs absurd humor to expose the fragility of masculinity and the toxic expectations society places on young men. Expect debate on whether Cartman is the id of American manhood—or just a chaotic neutral goblin.Homosexuality and Big Gay Al: A Queer SubtextIn a surprising turn for a 1999 mainstream animated movie, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut includes a sympathetic queer character in Big Gay Al. The Taste Buds discuss the film's portrayal of homosexuality, including its satirical (yet sincere) celebration of queer identity. From Saddam and Satan's toxic romance to the hopeful notes of Big Gay Al's song, the film blends camp and commentary in unexpected ways.Guest Panelist: Nate Ragolia from Debut BuddiesSpecial guest Nate Ragolia, co-host of the movie podcast Debut Buddies, joins this episode with insightful takes and a deep appreciation for chaos. Nate helps the Taste Buds unpack why South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut still resonates today, from its musical theater references to its unflinching (and hilarious) view of American culture.Related Episodes You'll Love:The Iron Giant – 1999 Movie PodcastThe Green Mile – 1999 Movie PodcastThe Action Figures Draft – Movie of the YearFinal Thoughts: Revisiting South Park: Bigger, Longer, and UncutSouth Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is more than a relic of juvenile rebellion—it's a cultural commentary wrapped in fart jokes and musical numbers. Whether you're a longtime fan or revisiting it for the first time, the Taste Buds' discussion offers new reasons to appreciate the film's satire, boldness, and weird emotional resonance.Stream the episode now and rediscover why South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut still punches up, punches through, and—occasionally—sings its way into our hearts.

Do you have an abusive wife? Are you constantly fearful of upsetting her and then having to deal with her temper and angry reactions?

SummaryIn this episode, Matt Hallock discusses the detrimental effects of 'niceness' in marriage, contrasting it with the concept of 'kingdom masculinity.' He argues that niceness often stems from co-dependence and a lack of self-identity, leading to unhealthy dynamics in relationships. Instead, he advocates for a more assertive and confident approach to masculinity that fosters genuine kindness and respect. Matt provides actionable steps for men to transform their behavior and communication in their marriages, emphasizing the importance of self-worth and healthy boundaries.TakeawaysJesus wasn't nice; he was dangerous, challenging norms.Niceness can lead to co-dependence in relationships.Kindness is rooted in strength, while niceness stems from weakness.Healthy masculinity involves setting boundaries and standards.Christian marriage advice often promotes niceness over honesty.Men should not shy away from confrontation in marriage.The spirit of niceness can diminish attraction and passion.Action steps include repenting and initiating change.Men should advocate for their desires in relationships.Transformation requires inside-out change, not just behavior modification.Pick up your copy of The DNA of a Man here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/dna-2025Join The Masculine Husband 3-month Marriage Intensive here: https://thrive.manwarriorking.com/masculinehusbandSubscribe to Matt and Man Warrior King on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@manwarriorking/

“The design is that men would be protectors, leaders, providers” yet our culture seems determined to erase that calling through a war on masculinity. In this March or Die episode, Jeremy Stalnecker and Sean Kennard expose the spiritual and cultural war on masculinity, trace its roots back to Genesis, and show why fatherless homes, rising violence, and confusion about gender roles are no accident. More than analysis, they deliver a roadmap: accept God-given responsibility, lead with sacrificial humility, surround yourself with brothers who sharpen you, and start right where you are imperfect but present. Whether you’re a husband, dad, single man, or a woman who cares about the men in her life, you’ll find truth, encouragement, and practical steps to stand in the gap. Watch, share, and join the movement to build men who march forward instead of staying where they are and dying.

He has authored four books—including his best selling, The Dead Bedroom Fix—and is known for combining straight talk with practical guidance to help men rebuild confidence, reclaim masculinity, and lead from a place of clarity and purpose. Through coaching, online courses, and the global HFM Brotherhood community, Ralph equips men to stop waiting for validation and start taking ownership. His work has been featured in Forbes, NewsNation, and New York Magazine, and his approach is trusted by thousands of men around the world. He speaks directly to men who've “done everything right” yet feel lost—and gives them the tools to find their footing again. Ralph Brewer Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Global Reach and Cultural Differences Ralph discussed a special offer for Jeffery's followers at helpformen.com, including a freebie and discounts on coaching and group membership. He explained the organization's global reach, with the US as the primary market and Australia as the second-largest. They briefly touched on cultural differences in men's willingness to seek help, with Ralph noting that Spanish and Australian men tend to be more open compared to British and German men. Baldness Experiences and Embraces Ralph and Jeffery discussed their experiences with baldness and hair loss. Ralph shared a story about his daughter mistaking an egg for him at a restaurant. They exchanged anecdotes about their hair loss experiences and how they've embraced being bald. Jeffery mentioned his military deployment and how he learned to cut his own hair during that time. They both agreed that being bald is easier and more practical than having hair. Rural Indiana Childhood Experiences Ralph shared his childhood experiences growing up in rural Indiana, where he spent most of his time after moving from Spain at age three. His mother, who was learning English and driving, and his American military father, who was deployed during the Iraq War, made him stand out in his small town. Ralph discussed his experiences with racism and prejudice, particularly directed at his mother due to her Spanish and Middle Eastern appearance. He also mentioned his fondness for Italy, its culture, and lifestyle, contrasting it with the work-hard-play-hard attitude of the United States. Bilingual Childhood and Family Roots Ralph shared his personal background, discussing his childhood experiences growing up in a bilingual household where Spanish was spoken secretly by his parents. He described his father's difficult family situation and how his father's best friend's family became like an extended family to him, providing stability and support. Ralph also explained his mother's challenging upbringing in post-civil war Spain under Franco's regime, which left her to care for seven children after her father's disappearance. Discovering Infidelity and Divorce Journey Ralph shared his personal story of discovering his ex-wife's extramarital affair while on vacation, which led to a difficult divorce process. He described how he initially confronted her about suspicious Facebook messages, only to be met with denial and tears during their single counseling session. Despite his ex-wife's attempts to convince the counselor that nothing was happening, Ralph's suspicions persisted, leading him to conduct his own investigation using technology. The experience left him more confused than anything, but ultimately led to the realization that he needed to pursue a divorce. Divorce and Co-Parenting Challenges Ralph shared his experience of a sudden divorce after his wife had a three-month affair, which he described as the final straw in a series of family-related issues. He emphasized that while the affair was the catalyst,

Recent decades have seen seismic changes to traditional gender roles, leading to deep and sometimes difficult questions about what it means to be a man today. Some argue it's provoked a ‘crisis in masculinity'. This term is debated, but there are growing rates of loneliness, poor mental health, and even suicide, in men. At the same time troubling forms of so called ‘toxic masculinity' are being promoted by some online influencers.Delyth Liddell and guests examine the issues. Is masculinity under threat or is it simply being redefined? What is masculinity anyway? And does scripture and Biblical manhood have any relevance to this discussion today? Reverend Will Rose-More is an ordained minister and is the author of ‘Boys will be Boys and other myths'. He's editing a forthcoming book on masculinities and trauma in church and theology. Charlotte Thomas is an honorary tutor at Cardiff University and is currently studying for a PhD in Theology on hypermasculinity and the Bible, particularly looking at an American Christian men's group called the ‘Promise Keepers'. Jon Stockley is the national director for Christian Vision for Men Wales. Father Sebastian Jones is the Superior of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Cardiff. He's also the Parish Priest of St Alban's Parish Splott, and lectures in Canon Law.

Licensed Psychologists Jackie and Justin explore the complexities of masculinity and its impact on mental health. They discuss various types of masculinity, including toxic masculinity, and how these constructs affect emotional expression and mental well-being. The conversation highlights the challenges men face in seeking therapy and the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in fostering healthy relationships. They also touch on cultural influences and the need for positive role models in shaping future generations' understanding of masculinity.

Scott answers a question about masculinity and service: why don't more men volunteer, and how do we change that?

  This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, LMNT and Audible. In this gripping and mind-opening conversation, Yale psychiatrist and author Dr. James Kimmel Jr. joins us to explore one of humanity's most primal urges—revenge. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and personal experience, Dr. Kimmel explains how revenge mimics addiction in the brain and why many of us unknowingly suffer from “revenge cravings.” He shares a deeply personal story of nearly acting on revenge as a teenager, the lessons he learned as a litigator-turned-researcher, and practical, science-backed ways to break the cycle. From mass shootings and bullying to road rage and “revenge bodies,” this episode dives deep into the psychology of retaliation, the illusion of justice, and how forgiveness may be the ultimate act of self-healing. ----- In this episode we discuss... 03:25 – What is revenge?
