Podcasts about Masculinity

Mark Moore, New Testament scholar and teaching pastor at Christ Church of the Valley, joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast to discuss his new book The Missing Messiah (co-authored with Kyle Idleman). He unpacks how modern culture has softened Jesus into a comfortable figure and why recovering biblical masculinity—rooted in responsibility, brotherhood, and Jesus as both Savior and Warrior-King—is essential for men, families, and society. From the roots of the masculinity crisis to practical calls for men to step into purpose, suffer well, and mentor the next generation, this conversation equips men to live always ready in every pillar of life.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.

Are you confused with your relationship? Maybe you can't decide whether to stay married or divorce? Maybe you're unsure how to go about improving the connection and intimacy and affection with your wife?In this episode I talk about the core of our coaching with men around making the right choices or even knowing what the right choice is for you and your future. This changes everything. The more clear and committed you are to the future you are choosing to head towards, the more chance you have of creating that, even if it seems as though your partner isn't interested in coming with you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Most men don't blow up their lives with one loud mistake. They just stop noticing the space between who they said they would be and who they've quietly become. Today we put a name to that space and then we do the part most people avoid: we treat it like an equation, a running ledger, a cost that keeps accumulating whether you feel ready or not.We focus on what is still here, not as comfort, but as a moving window. Your kids are the ages they are right now, and that season of proximity has a closing date that won't come with an announcement. Your marriage is still workable, but it's the marriage that exists between two real people carrying real weight, and drift compounds the longer it stays unedited. We also talk about credibility: the window where change still “registers” before the people closest to you recalibrate their expectations downward.Then we make the key turn: understanding the cost is not the same as accepting responsibility for it. The decision is not the moment of insight while you're listening. It's the hour after, when your day pushes back. And we name why so many capable, high performing men stall: trying to close a gap with the same private self-sufficiency that helped create it. Changing the outcome means changing the environment and adding real accountability.If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more men find the work.Key moments in this episode:01:45 What Still Here Means01:52 Kids and Marriage Openings03:45 Measure the Closing Speed05:03 Compounding Drift and Credibility06:40 Running Cost Not Warning07:55 Understanding vs Responsibility09:52 Change Needs Environment10:44 Full Accounting and Choice12:19 Decide Now and Next Steps13:00 Band of Brothers InvitationSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.  For more information about our programs, please use the links below to learn more about us.

Dana and Tom with special guest, Reed Arnold (Writer, Director, and Star of Do Us Part (2026)) discuss Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) for its 15th Anniversary: directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, written by Dan Fogelman, cinematography by Andrew Dunn, music by Christophe Beck and Nick Urata, editing by Lee Haxall, starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Marisa Tomei, and Kevin Bacon.Plot Summary: Up next is a film from 2011 that takes the age-old Hollywood trope of the cinematic makeover and turns it completely on its ear. It's Crazy, Stupid, Love.Now, when we meet Cal Weaver—played with a wonderful, understated desperation by Steve Carell—he is a man whose comfortable, suburban life has just evaporated over dessert. His high school sweetheart and wife of twenty-five years, played by a luminous Julianne Moore, announces she wants a divorce. Suddenly, Cal finds himself cast adrift in the unfamiliar and deeply hostile waters of the modern dating scene.Enter Jacob Palmer, a suave, cynical, and impossibly sharp-dressed bachelor who treats the local lounge like his own personal kingdom. He's played by Ryan Gosling, channeling the kind of effortless, magnetic charisma that would make Cary Grant proud. Jacob takes pity on our broken-hearted protagonist, deciding to mentor Cal in the fine arts of tailored suits, confident posture, and the precise chemistry of the pickup line.But what makes Dan Fogelman's screenplay so compelling isn't just the transformation of Cal. It is how the film expertly weaves multiple generations of romance into a single, chaotic tapestry. We see Cal's teenage son harboring a fierce, agonizing crush on his older babysitter, who in turn harbors her own secret affection. Meanwhile, Jacob—the ultimate, uncatchable playboy—finds his own defenses completely dismantled by a sharp-witted law student, played with incredible comic timing by Emma Stone.It's a film that balances the slick, sophisticated banter of classic 1930s screwball comedies with a raw, very contemporary vulnerability. It reminds us that no matter our age, experience, or wardrobe, love has a way of making fools out of all of us.Chapters00:12 Introduction to Crazy, Stupid, Love06:06 Exploring the Plot and Themes12:05 Character Relationships and Development18:10 Masculinity and Love in the Film24:05 The Makeover Trope and Its Implications33:14 Navigating Relationships and Growth34:38 The Evolution of Long-Term Relationships36:20 Understanding Relationship Dynamics38:16 Stereotypes and Relationship Expectations39:09 Behind the Scenes of Filmmaking42:15 Foreshadowing and Directorial Choices48:45 Cultural Moments in Film52:11 Influences and Inspirations in Filmmaking01:00:49 Antagonists and Character Dynamics01:04:27 Nostalgia and College Experiences01:06:48 Navigating the Film Festival Circuit01:09:23 The Fight for Attention in Film01:11:45 Personal Experiences in Storytelling01:20:11 Choosing Between Writing, Directing, and Acting01:37:01 Best Scene(s)01:45:21 Best Line(s)01:51:14 The Stanley Rubric - Legacy02:02:16 The Stanley Rubric - Novelty02:15:46 The Stanley Rubric - Classicness02:22:31 The Stanley Rubric - Rewatchability02:29:01 Final Questions and ThoughtsYou can also find this episode in full video on YouTube.You can now follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, or TikTok (@gmoatpodcast).For more on the episode, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/crazy-stupid-love-2011-ft-reed-arnoldFor the entire rankings list so far, go to: https://www.ronnyduncanstudios.com/post/greatest-movie-of-all-time-listKeywords:Crazy Stupid Love, movie review, film analysis, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, romantic comedy, anniversary, movie discussion, film critique, best rom-coms, Emma Stone, discussion, romantic, comedy, film discussion, movie scenes, Hollywood, Crazy, Stupid, Love movie, podcast, podcast discussion, podcast episode, movie podcast, film podcast, rom-com, legacy, classic, rewatch, novelty, audience scoreRonny Duncan Studios

When it comes to climate, we have the facts, but we aren't moving fast enough. So we need to get climate education and solutions into the places where people already spend their time. Pop culture offers endless opportunities to influence audiences – your favorite movie or TV character can feel like a friend whose views on climate might affect your own.

Co-Host Dr. Dain Heer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dain) In this logical follow-up to last week's show with Emily, my first-time guest Dr. Dain Heer claims that all of us are authentically at least a little bit outrageous. What's more, being you is the ultimate rebellion. And the world needs that from you...now. Especially women. You see, this is a major part of what keeps you from becoming the dreaded "Gen-Eric" guy. Not feeling it? That's pretty normal...but the truth is that your particular brand of "outrageous" nature is probably different from someone else's, and your authentic interpretation of it is what counts. We start off by talking about Dain's book Return Of The Gentleman, and how most of us as men are honorable enough to do the right thing, while being powerful enough to do the hard things that aren't always so pleasant. And yes, for men being sexual beings is absolutely normal and right. How has a man's authenticity become more important than ever in the age of AI? How does being our "outrageous" authentic selves enable women to trust us more, not less? And how did men start losing our inherent audacity to begin with? Most of all, how to we reframe and reclaim being our authentic selves even in the slightest of outrageous ways, and find out first-hand how radically and powerfully it affects our success with women? Here's a hint...if you're a naysayer who believes the deck is stacked against you, that's the first narrative that needs work. But truly, this isn't something you have to do, it's something you GET to do.

What Every Man Secretly Wants Rene flips the script this week and puts Bruce in the hot seat. Five questions about men—what they lie to themselves about, what they'll never say out loud, and what they're actually starving for underneath it all. What unfolds is an honest conversation about isolation, false strength, and the pressure so many men carry in silence. Bruce opens up about the moment he had to look at Rene and say, "I can't do this alone"—and why that wasn't weakness, but one of the strongest decisions he ever made. Whether you're a man who has quietly carried the weight of responsibility or a woman who wants to understand the man she loves, this conversation will challenge what you think you know. In this episode:

Music Video for Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? https://youtu.be/o5TmORitlKk?si=tp-xjNHA4yQ0CYpOWhat happens when we ask a question—not because we expect an answer, but because we need someone to remain with us inside the uncertainty?In this episode of The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores Marvin Gaye's landmark recording, What's Going On, and the psychological power of a song that responds to violence, war, injustice, and collective grief without becoming hardened by them.Born from an act of violence witnessed during the People's Park demonstrations and shaped by the experiences of returning Vietnam veterans, the song challenged both Marvin Gaye's artistic identity and the limits Motown placed upon its artists.Rather than accusing, commanding, or offering easy answers, What's Going On asks us to stay present with suffering long enough to feel it.Gunter examines how the song creates recognition, belonging, empathy, and reconciliation; how it reflects the moral distress carried by returning soldiers; and why its tenderness has allowed it to remain meaningful for more than fifty years.Sometimes the most honest response to pain is not an answer. Sometimes it is a question held open in the company of others.In this episodeThe story behind Marvin Gaye's What's Going OnHow violence at People's Park helped inspire the songMarvin Gaye's struggle to move beyond romantic popHis brother Frankie's return from the Vietnam WarBarry Gordy's resistance to releasing the recordHow overlapping vocals created an internal conversationThe psychological concept of moral injuryRecognition, belonging, reconciliation, and empathyWhy the song chooses grief rather than rageThe power of remaining present without rushing toward answersWhy some questions endure longer than accusationsKey takeawaysA question can create connection.Unlike a statement, a question requires another person. It turns distress into relationship and invites the listener to feel alongside the speaker.Grief and rage are not interchangeable.Anger may restore agency, but sorrow can sometimes reveal the deeper truth of an experience.Uncertainty can be emotionally productive.The song refuses to resolve its central question, asking listeners to tolerate doubt instead of reaching too quickly for certainty.Tenderness is not weakness.Marvin Gaye confronts catastrophe without becoming contemptuous, allowing the song to remain open, humane, and widely accessible.People often feel pain before they can explain it.A song that remains at the level of the question can meet listeners in the wordless space before understanding arrives.“We return to the song not for answers, but for company.”— Gunter SwobodaGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Jackson for bringing Mississippi to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list and for the first time ever making it to our Top 20 Global Listener's list and securing their position, we celebrate our listeners in Hanoi and Ho Chi Mihn City for bringing Vietnam up to #11 as well as to our listeners in Lora del Rio for bringing Spain to #17!  Lastly a special congrats to Spain for their World Cup Win!

Every relationship you're in is running a test you don't even know you're taking. And, most men are failing it in slow motion. Today's guest built his reputation calling out the exact moments men hand over their frame without noticing: the pedestal-building, the concessions that pile up one at a time until there are a thousand of them, the "I appreciate your energy" while she's quietly checking out. This isn't theory. It's the pattern behind every man who woke up one day wondering how he ended up as her Plan B in his own home. We're getting into "shit tests" and why they never stop, why contempt is the clock counting down on a marriage, and why the "go plan" is the same as the "stay plan" might be the most freeing sentence you hear all year. We'll cover a few of the 7 spokes of a high-value man, some of the the 21 red flags and 16 green flags worth knowing before you commit, and why proximity, familiarity, and exclusivity are what actually build attraction.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've been talking about how the old school is the new school for quite some time now. But what if this idea goes way beyond meeting women in real life instead of on apps and reclaiming classic virtuous masculinity? The new term is "analog resistance" and it's probably not what you think. This isn't a bunch of old codgers saying, "get off my lawn". As it turns out, younger generations are leading the charge. The problem is, having never lived a life apart from electronic domination, they don't exactly know how. This spells a brilliant opportunity for older men to attract younger women...but only if you're not a "dinosaur" about it. Take the Reality Check Inventory quiz for FREE at: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/realitycheck === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extremely effective...and actionable.

In a culture obsessed with optimizing appearances, what actually makes up an attractive man? In this episode, JT and Anthony dig into the looksmaxxing trend and what it reveals about a deeper hunger — not for better cheekbones, but for belonging and purpose. Because outward appearances can never reveal the true depth of a man. We must remember that the real work isn't sculpting your face or putting in endless hours at the gym — it's building the confidence to know your value was decided long before any ranking system existed.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Curiosity and articulation about the process of redefining masculinity, and the hope that we can have the skills and compassion to hold each other as individuals, as males, and as a community with empathy.

This episode starts with heatwaves and trashy beaches in Southern California and somehow ends with a full‑on intervention for modern men. We clown on hiking with bears, talk real jiu jitsu life, and then dive deep into one of the biggest issues we see: husbands who refuse to grow up and hand all the responsibility to their wives.We break down what happens when men act like permanent teenagers—letting their partner run every dollar, asking for “allowance” from their own paycheck, and wondering why there's zero respect in the relationship. We talk shared accounts, leadership, paying bills, and why both people in a marriage need to be adults with their money.Along the way there are stories from the UPS days, wild doctor visits, building a 4 a.m. BJJ class at Checkmat Menifee, and a heartfelt tribute to the uncle who paid for that first year of jiu jitsu and sparked everything. It's raw, funny, uncomfortable, and exactly the kind of conversation that usually only happens after training on the mats.Topics: Brazilian jiu jitsu, modern masculinity, marriage and money, shared bank accounts, men's self‑improvement, gym culture, community, mentorship.If you tell me which of the five titles you're leaning toward, I can tweak the first 2–3 lines of the YouTube description to match that hook perfectly.Please Follow BJJ Balance on all of our socials:IG: @BJJBalanceDiscord: discord.gg/bjjbalanceTik Tok: @BJJBalanceYouTube: YouTube.com/@BJJBalanceKenny IG: @KennyDoesBJJMatt IG: @oss_nation_bjj

Have you ever taken a moment to just really listen to the lyrics of your favorite songs?  What do these songs say about relationships?  Attitudes about sex?  Masculinity?  In this episode we're having a conversation with Executive Director Whitney Burran and Shelter Manager Greg Sims about how what the music we listen to says about these things.

How can you tell if you're too soft — or too domineering — as a man? Why are so many modern men afraid of their own masculinity? And how do we build a sense of purpose and belonging while knowing someone's really got our back? I asked Jason Lange to join me today to help me see what I'm missing about masculinity.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/07/modern-masculinity   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

**SHOW NOTES**Why does sex become more difficult the more we care about someone? In this conversation, I sit down with psychosexual and relationship therapist Kate Moyle to unpack the psychology behind performance anxiety, modern sexual culture, and why so many men feel pressure to perform instead of connect.We explore how stress, distraction, shame, relationship dynamics, and unrealistic expectations affect intimacy, along with practical ways to build healthier communication, confidence, and connection in the bedroom. Whether you're navigating anxiety around sex or simply want a deeper understanding of intimacy, this conversation offers practical insights grounded in both science and clinical experience.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 – Introducing Kate Moyle00:20 – What a Psychosexual Therapist Does02:56 – Is Modern Sexual Culture Broken?05:52 – Performance vs Presence in Sex08:13 – Why Anxiety Shows Up During Intimacy11:08 – Changing Gender Roles and Sexual Expectations13:46 – The Biopsychosocial Model Explained15:04 – Everyday Stressors That Affect Sex18:29 – Creating the Conditions for Great Sex22:06 – Porn, Media and Unrealistic Expectations26:13 – Why Communication Is Essential for Great Sex29:57 – Attunement Over Performance31:30 – Pleasure vs Performance35:57 – Understanding Unreliable Erections38:29 – The Psychology of Performance Anxiety46:41 – Breaking the Anxiety Cycle53:35 – Addressing Shame Around Sexual Performance56:52 – Masculinity, Potency and Self-Worth59:26 – When Relationship Issues Affect Intimacy01:03:13 – Where to Find Kate Moyle***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.Most losses don't look like losses when they happen. They look like “later.” They look like good intentions, busy weeks, and the quiet belief that the most important things will still be available when you finally turn toward them.We take on a hard truth: some windows close without drama, and the cost becomes fixed long before we're ready to admit it. We talk about the opportunity costs men avoid naming, and why an honest ledger isn't about regret or self-punishment. It's about precision. If you keep treating a closed window like an open option, you'll pay twice: once when it closes, and again when you keep spending energy on something that no longer exists.We walk through three specific “closed windows” that show up in real life. First, the age-specific seasons of your children, where access changes as they grow and what was possible at seven is not what's possible at twelve. Second, the version of your marriage that existed before drift became the default operating mode, when patterns were still forming instead of calcified into architecture. Third, the earlier version of you before small choices piled up into an identity you now treat as permanent.The way forward is simple, not easy: write off what's closed so your time, attention, and presence go to what's still open. If you're ready to stop negotiating with the past and start building with what's real, subscribe, share this with a man who needs it, and leave a review so more men can find this work.Key moments in this episode:00:00 The Window That Closed00:15 Closed Windows Explained01:11 How Closings Happen02:18 Reading the Ledger03:07 Window One: Your Kids05:28 Window Two: Your Marriage07:27 Window Three: Yourself09:16 Write Off and Refocus10:48 Next Steps Band of BrothersSupport the showThanks for listening to the Revolutionary Man Podcast.  For more information about our programs, please use the links below to learn more about us.

Mediocre, that's a word us men don't like and it's how we see ourselves when we feel trapped in an uninspiring marriage, it's like we believe that this is our lot, there's nothing more available, no more passion, no more fun, no more playful flirting and sexual exploration, but I'm here to tell you that's not true.In this episode I talk about why we get to this stage in long-term relationships and marriage, what's causing it and I introduce an article I wrote detailing the traits to cultivate that will totally change you, your marriage and your agency over being able to create more of what you really want to experience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun

Alexander the Great conquered the known world. Rock Hudson was Hollywood's perfect leading man. The manosphere would have disowned both of them.From Alexander's relationship with Hephaestion and Rock Hudson's closeted double life, to the Tate brothers' arrest in Miami and the alt-right pipeline connecting the manosphere to Christian nationalism, this is the brief history of masculinity, and why the men held up as its greatest examples never actually fit into the narrow definition of it. We also look at why Pedro Pascal is the internet's most beloved man, what Alain de Botton's work on warmth versus coolness tells us about what men actually need, and why the mental health statistics suggest the manosphere's answer to male suffering is making everything considerably worse.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Nobody in Western culture wants to come off as fake to anyone. Authenticity rules, especially if we expect to build meaningful, connected relationships...especially with MOTOS. But the tricky question has always been about how to know when you're being your true self. What context is that most likely to occur in...and with whom especially? Well, the hot take this show is built around is that we just might be our most authentic self when we're around those we feel most comfortable with. That's a heavy statement...especially if you don't exactly like who you tend to become around family, best friends and other loved ones. But is it necessarily true? And even if it is, is it necessarily a bad thing that we can express who we really are and what we really feel with those we're closest to, even if it's occasionally unpleasant? Similarly, is it not a good thing to respond plainly and truthfully when they interact with us? And what about "reading the room" and tailoring our behaviors, and even our mindset, to specific situations? Is it "fake" to be adaptive? As it turns out, Emily and I were reminded of this topic and the value of discussing it after a legitimately weird occurrence this past week. We got the perhaps once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with each other as total strangers--even though we've been together for over twenty years. How in the world does that happen?

Should fathers prepare their daughters for marriage—or prepare them to live without a man?In this heated live debate, a stepfather argues that daughters should be raised to be completely self-sufficient in case a man leaves, dies, or can't provide. Marquett pushes back, arguing that fathers should instead prepare daughters to build lasting families and healthy marriages—not expect failure from the start.The conversation quickly escalates into a passionate debate over:* Single motherhood* Stepfathers* Marriage and divorce* Raising daughters* Traditional family values* Masculinity and leadership* Accountability* Modern relationshipsWhether you agree with Marquett or the stepfather, this debate will challenge your perspective on family, fatherhood, and modern dating.

Inspired by the heartfelt tributes to Sam Neill, the guys are joined by Part of Your World's Christian Honoré to assess the Jurassic Park/World series for positive models of masculinity.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comHow did “biblical manhood” become so tied to aggression, politics, and power? Kristin Kobes Du Mez, professor of history at Calvin University and author of Jesus and John Wayne, joins Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram to explain how white evangelical ideas about masculinity helped shape American Christianity and American politics. Du Mez traces the rise of rugged Christian manhood through culture, Cold War politics, the Religious Right, Ronald Reagan, fear of feminism and secularism, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and the culture war machinery that turns complicated issues into loyalty tests. She also connects masculine power to institutional self-protection, including the Southern Baptist Convention's response to women in leadership and sexual abuse reform. This conversation is not just about men. It is about how gender, theology, fear, capitalism, and political power worked together to shape modern white evangelicalism, and why America's 250th raises urgent questions about religious liberty and democracy.Guest BioKristin Kobes Du Mez, PhD, is a historian, New York Times bestselling author, and professor of history at Calvin University. Her work focuses on the intersection of gender, religion, politics, and American evangelicalism. She is the author of Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, A New Gospel for Women, and the forthcoming Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made. She is also a Senior Democracy Fellow with PRRI. In this conversation, Du Mez helps explain how white evangelical ideas about masculinity, femininity, fear, family, politics, and power shaped the modern church and the country around it.Book MentionedJesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation by Kristin Kobes Du MezBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781631499050Live Laugh Love: The Secret History of White Christian Women and the World They Made by Kristin Kobes Du MezBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781324090977Relevant Links & ResourcesKristin Kobes Du Mez Official WebsiteURL: https://kristindumez.com/ Support Sarah Stankorb's work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpolitics.comWill Wright, Political Host: Will@faithfulpolitics.comFollow Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast

Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Ed Hinman, Marine infantry officer veteran, public figure protection specialist, historian, and author of The Barbarian in You. Ed shares how his time at the Naval Academy, deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa, and a pivotal reckoning with ego and identity led him to build a life around three core principles: vigor, wonder, and fellowship. Drawing on history, philosophy, and hard experience, Ed makes the case that living a full life is not about optimization — it's about reconnecting with the most primal, truest parts of yourself. The conversation weaves through the creative life, the craft of writing, the mentorship of Steven Pressfield, the wisdom of Montaigne, Emerson, and Marcus Aurelius, and the courage it takes to follow what resonates rather than what looks good on paper. Episode Highlights: 1:54 - Ed and Marcus discuss the mentorship of Steven Pressfield and the discipline required to show up for the creative life 29:44 - Ed introduces his three-part philosophy of vigor, wonder, and fellowship as a framework rooted in how pre-civilized humans actually lived 49:23 - Ed recounts his Marine Corps career, the ego-driven disappointment of deployments that went nowhere, and how psychosomatic pain forced him to ask what he actually wanted 58:58 - Ed and Marcus explore the idea of listening to intuition over empirical evidence, following resonance rather than a prescribed path, and why the barbarian in you is the truest version of yourself Ed Hinman served as an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps, graduating from the Naval Academy and deploying five times across Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa before earning a master's degree in history and building a career in public figure protection with Gavin de Becker's firm. He is the author of The Barbarian in You and the founder of the Barbarian in You blog, where he writes about history, strength, friendship, and the philosophy of living with vigor, wonder, and fellowship.

Most men aren't emotionally unavailable because they don't care. They're emotionally unavailable because they were never taught how to process emotion, navigate intimacy, or move through the transition from boyhood to manhood. In this conversation, relationship coach and author Stefanos Sifandos breaks down why high-achieving men often feel disconnected, why success can become emotional armor, and how unresolved childhood wounds quietly shape our relationships, ambition, confidence, and identity.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===There's yet another new dating trend/buzzword now: "friendfluence". Now, on the surface you can figure what this is about. Women in particular have been letting their friends whisper in their ear about the guys they're dating since the dawn of recorded time. But thanks to a new "hail mary" attempt from Tinder to stay relevant, there's an added dimension. As it turns out, it's really nothing new either...it's just that most people haven't thought about it for a LONG time. So what did Tinder do, exactly? And how is it legitimately moving the needle...especially for women? And most of all, what should we as men do not only to merely leverage it, but to turn it into a massive advantage?

Most men have a reason they can't take a break — not enough time, not enough money, or they'll get to it eventually — but every excuse is really just a way of saying work matters more than the people they're working to support. The truth is that most men spend their best years working to build a life for those around them, but in the process, miss out on the very life they're building. Stop sacrificing relationships for responsibilities and start interrupting the routines that are quietly costing you what matters most. Whether it's a timeshare presentation or a state park campsite, the goal isn't a lavish getaway — it's the memories, the presence, and the reminder that rest isn't laziness; it's recovery.CONNECT WITH GREATMAN:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 20, 2026] For his book American Men, journalist Jordan Ritter Conn spent four years chronicling the lives of four different men struggling with various aspects of their masculine identity, grappling with violent tendencies, trauma from their past, addictive behavior, gender identity and sexuality, and more. The book explores how American men are navigating the lessons they've been taught about masculinity, and the lives they actually want to lead.  Cover art courtesy of the publisher Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
