Lots of work to do—let's get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour— Number One— A scathing report is calling on the United States to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization—and says anything less puts American lives in jeopardy from radical terrorists that are already living here— Number Two— There is word coming out that President Trump is crafting a 28 point plan—similar to what he created for Gaza—in an effort to bring peace to Ukraine and end the war with Russia— Number Three— We are watching an entire generation of young men drift—angry, aimless, medicated – there are more men on Ritalin in the U.S. than in any other country – they're addicted to screens, and told from every corner that the very thing that could save them, their God-given masculinity, is the problem. And I'm here to tell you that's a lie straight from the pit.

In this episode of 'Holy Disruption' hosted by Heather Schott, Senator Josh Hawley discusses the controversial concept of 'toxic masculinity' and defends the traditional values of biblical manhood. The conversation explores how modern culture attacks masculinity and the family structure, pushing against the destructive ideology that equates all masculinity with being inherently toxic. Senator Hawley highlights the importance of men stepping up to their divine roles as leaders, protectors, and servants in their families and communities. The episode also addresses the rise of feminism, LGBTQ movements, the transgender ideology, and their impact on masculinity and family values. As a solution, both Heather and Senator Hawley call for a revival of biblical principles to restore the family unit and spark a transformative awakening in America.

Australia correspondent Nick Grimm spoke to Lisa Owen about a major survey of young people finding that many teenage boys feel pressure to conform to toxic notions of masculinity.
Australian Traitors Annabel Claire Fidler and Australian Survivor's Philly Ferguson ( Aka ChiliPhilly) are here to talk all things TOXIC MASCULINITY, SPIRITUAL POSSESSION, KARINE FASHION in this recap of Episode 2 of The Traitors Canada Season 3. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Captain Ashtar of the Galactic Federation of LightHIGHER SPIRITUAL REALMS PLAN UNPRECEDENTED INTERVENTION TO PREVENT “TOXIC MASCULINITY” FROM BLOCKING HUMANITY'S SPIRITUAL EVOLUTION Interviewer: Joel D. AnastasiChannel: Phillip Elton CollinsKey PointsEarth was seeded by twelve star-systems millions of years ago for “this planet to learn to do and be love in all of its various capacities.”This has not been achieved because there has been a “long history of wars and greed, separation and duality fueled by toxic masculinity.”“Once, again, your world seems to be ruled by toxic masculinity. These are times of turmoil and nuclear risk, not unlike the past. So, we of the various councils have decided it is time to intervene, which has never been done before.”A New Earth reflecting high vibrations of love will separate from the low vibrations of the Old Earth. “See it as two cells splitting, one into a New Earth founded upon the high vibrations of equality, harmony and balance and the Old Earth which represents low vibrations of separation, conflict and duality.”“What do you choose—to be a part of the New Earth or remain in the Old Earth? What do you resonate with--equality, harmony and balance or separation, conflict and chaos? You have a choice unlike never before.”“Do not be involved in the drama of the evolution of humanity. If you're choosing a higher frequency, focusing on the old keeps you in the old. Decide to separate from that old to create a new parallel path, bypassing, not intersecting, the Old Earth. Think with your heart and allow your heart's vibrations to quiet the mental mind and allow that things are divinely in order.”“Your planet moving into the New Earth can not only affect your planet, it also can affect your galaxy, other galaxies of the universes and multiverses in the whole of creation. That is how much you are loved and appreciated through the millennia of foibles and separations you have gone through in being human.”“We offer our gratitude and our appreciation for that process that has not been easy, nor is it easy now. So, we salute you, I salute you, as Captain Ashtar and wish you well on your cosmic journey.”THE PURPOSE OF THESE PODCASTS IS TO BRING A HIGHER REALM PERSPECTIVE TO OUR LIVES, OUR NATION AND THE WORLD.
The threat of toxic masculinity and the manosphere is really concerning especially when you see research showing how more than a third of young men who watch masculinity influencers, act on their advice. But what actually is it? What are the impacts that come with it? And how do we overcome it? To discuss further Pat was joined on the show by Richard Hogan, Author, Family Therapist and Columnist with the Irish Examiner and Dylan Hand, Newstalk Reporter.
What happens when two traditional "alpha males"—a former rugby league champion and an ex-infantryman—sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation about modern masculinity? Prepare to be challenged. In this powerful episode from the archives, host Andy Lopata brings together Luke Ambler, founder of the transformative men's support network Andy's Man Club, and Dion Jensen, a New Zealand special forces veteran and mental health advocate. Born from environments where showing weakness was a liability, both men now champion vulnerability as the ultimate strength. This is not a comfortable, politically correct chat. It's a no-holds-barred exploration of the "toxic masculinity" debate, the role of men in a post-#MeToo world, and the crucial impact of leadership in shaping culture. From the changing rooms of professional sports to the front lines of conflict, Luke and Dion dissect why men struggle to open up and how leaders can create the psychological safety needed for genuine connection and high performance. This is the conversation every leader needs to hear about the unspoken dynamics in their teams. Key Takeaways Is the ultimate display of a leader's strength actually their willingness to be vulnerable first? What if "toxic masculinity" isn't a personality trait, but a product of the environments we fail to control? Why might the most effective champions for mental health be the very "alpha males" society often misunderstands? How can you create a culture of absolute safety where your team feels empowered to take off their "masks" and connect? Actionable Insights Lead with Vulnerability: In your next team meeting, be the first to share a professional challenge you're facing or a recent mistake you learned from. By modeling vulnerability, you grant permission for others to be open and build a foundation of trust. Define Your Environment's Rules: As a leader, you are the chief of your tribe. Explicitly define and communicate the non-negotiable cultural rules for your team (e.g., "We address conflict directly," "We celebrate each other's wins"). An undefined environment breeds toxicity. Engineer Hope into Your Check-ins: Borrowing from Andy's Man Club, don't just ask your team what's wrong. Make it a mandatory part of every one-on-one or team meeting to ask, “Tell me one positive from your week.” This actively builds a culture of hope and resilience.

Plus, Amelia dives into the kids party photo that’s divided Australia: can you really “bags” a park table? And finally, it’s Elf O’Clock. Monz realises she’s the last mum on earth without a tiny spy living in her house, and wonders aloud if there are some traditions that should just be left alone. Our recommendations:

It's Warrior Wednesday on The Other Side of Midnight! Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors joins Lionel to expose the overlooked truth: America is failing its boys. Lionel dives deep into the toxic culture surrounding young men, examining the dangers of "toxic masculinity" and the rise of online rage groups. Lynn details how Big Tech prioritizes profit over children and discusses key legislative efforts like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Get essential, actionable advice on becoming a "warrior" in your own home and inoculating children against this destruction. Lynn's Warriors is committed to raising awareness and ending exploitation by grassroots mobilization, advocacy, and education. Lionel critiques the current political landscape, arguing that Republicans "don't know how to fight" and often rely on "WWE politics" instead of effective messaging. He aims to be the "psychologist general" in charge of propaganda, exposing how "narrowcasting" obscures the truth about the "shadow government" the real force running the show, controlling image and mood. Topics range from Hollywood's output to fundamental Constitutional issues like the separation of church and state. Lionel argues that the current political climate suggests America is headed for a "civil war" of an internal nature, fueled by those who view white Americans and patriots as the enemy. Lionel delivers an intellectual "complete and total reset" for listeners, often referring to his methodology as a form of "fecal transplantation" for the mind. Lionel provides strategies for winning the intellectual war, including the necessity to weaponize humor, spotlight the rot of systems with style, and flood the zone with truth. Lionel urges his listeners to move on and not waste time arguing with those who don't know the facts, emphasizing that the goal is to win Pop culture nostalgia and unpredictable conversations, beginning with the colossal legacy of The Ed Sullivan Show. Discover how the "stiff" host introduced everyone from Elvis (forced to be filmed waist-up) to the Beatles. The show also features hilarious and detailed anecdotes about bizarre Catholic rituals and unexpected calls about cryptic nicknames and the enduring fear of clowns. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textIn this episode of Sick & Tired Recovery, my guest William opens up about what it was like to grow up constantly questioning his worth as a man. Shaped by society's standards of masculinity—what he should look like, how he should act, and what success should mean—William carried a deep sense of not being “enough.” We talk about how these pressures influenced his choices, his relationships, and his self-image, and how he's working today to rewrite the story of manhood on his own terms. This conversation is about breaking free from harmful expectations, finding strength in vulnerability, and discovering that true manhood is about authenticity, not approval.Support the show
Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we actually predominantly deal with questions from you all. We had a question about the chronology of the book of John and the synoptic Gospels, and why they do things with chronology that don't make sense. We had a question about some comments Alex made about toxic masculinity, and we got into what Jesus thinks about masculinity and what's different about that than this other terminology that we hear thrown around casually. So without any further ado, let's dive into these significant questions.

Hidden Fire: Navigating Sexual Desire and Passion for the Glory of God - Affair Proofing Your MarriageAs men, we all struggle with internal, fiery forces that reside deep within our souls. These internal forces can seemingly remain dormant, only to suddenly burst into an uncontrollable blaze. One such “hidden fire” is our sexuality. What God created to be "good," to be fully enjoyed within the covenant of marriage, can quickly turn destructive, consuming everything good in our lives. Because we are sexual beings, we cannot eradicate this fiery force; instead, we must come to understand and direct it by learning to navigate our lives according to the Ways and Wisdom of the God who designed us as sexual beings. Only then can this internal fiery force be a blessing to our world, bring joy to our hearts, and glorify the God who made us! Please join us in this series as together we seek to develop into men of sexual integrity.This series will cover such topics as:Getting to the Heart of LustLead us not into TemptationDealing with Sexual SinAffair-proofing Your MarriageSuper-Marital SexSex and the Single GuyNavigating the Pathway to Sexual IntegrityTo find out more about Awakened Heart Ministries, and our mission of Offering Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

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.

Here, ManTalks podcast host Connor Beaton breaks down the data and offers solutions.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1178What We Discuss with Connor Beaton:Male loneliness epidemic: 15% of men report having no close friends (up from 3% in 1990), and 28% of men aged 18-24 have no close friends. This represents a massive social crisis.Fatherless homes crisis: 43% of US children live without their father. This correlates with 90% of homeless youth, 85% of behavioral disorders, 85% of youth in prison, and 90% of repeat arsonists.Porn addiction epidemic: Starting as young as 9-11 years old, chronic porn use creates desensitization, erectile dysfunction, unrealistic expectations, and replacement of real relationships.Collapse of male spaces: Traditional male-oriented spaces like Boy Scouts have disappeared, leaving young men without mentorship or models for healthy masculinity.Connor Beaton recommends that men spend two nights per week with male friends for optimal mental health. Building real friendships through taking social risks — joining teams, starting conversations — combats loneliness.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
