Podcasts about Toxic masculinity

Harry Jowsey has had a long and winding road through the world of reality dating TV, most notably “Too Hot to Handle” and “Perfect Match.” He rode his success from these Netflix hits to a podcast deal with Alex Cooper's Unwell network – and now, his own reality dating show, “Let's Marry Harry.” In this bonus, Leigh and Claire discuss a show that promises to marry the inveterate womanizer off for good. From its gimmicky concept (all 20 contestants are immediately given engagement rings and referred to as his “fiancées”) to its ill-fated attempt at a redemption arc for Harry, this show is wildly entertaining, frequently alarming, and offers much food for thought about the current state of the reality dating space and masculinity discourse.

Sometimes people don't need more information. They need a way to compartmentalize what they already know. After talking about masculinity from so many different angles, I'm taking the 10,000-foot view today and breaking a man's role down to three simple jobs: provide, protect, and problem solve.

This episode is lesson one from our Foundations of Masculinity course. I start with a true story out of Kruger National Park in 1993, where wildlife officials relocated a group of young male elephants without any older males to guide them. Within a few years, rangers started finding endangered white rhinos brutally killed, not by poachers, but by these juvenile elephants who had no elder to show them how to act. The second they flew in a few older bull elephants, the chaos stopped. When I first heard that story, it hit me like a truck, because it's exactly what's happening to men in our culture today.From there, I trace how we got here, starting with the sexual revolution of the 1960s and Woodstock's "free love" philosophy, and how removing responsibility and courtship from relationships between men and women actually backfired, leading to a massive spike in fatherlessness that's still wrecking families today. I break down the real difference between being male, being masculine, and being a manly man, and why manhood isn't something you're born with, it's something that has to be poured into you by other men. I also get personal, sharing my own dad's story of growing up without a father and how my grandfather, a hardworking farmer, shaped an entire ethos around what it means to be a man, even without ever using the word "masculinity."By the end of this episode, I dig into what Scripture actually says about a man's role, starting in Genesis, and I talk honestly about the different but equally valuable roles men and women carry, using some pretty relatable stories from my own marriage and home along the way. If you've ever felt confused about what it means to be a man in today's world, or if you've caught yourself acting more like a "man boy" chasing short-term gratification instead of long-term reward, this episode is for you. I close it out with a prayer over every man listening. Thanks for tuning in, and if this episode hits home, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

The TRUTH About the Manosphere, Toxic Masculinity, and True Masculine LeadershipWelcome back lovers! In this spicy and deeply raw episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, we are unpacking the cultural phenomenon of the "Manosphere" and the modern crisis of toxic masculinity.After watching a recent documentary on the topic, we had to take the conversation to the mics. We explore the stark difference between immature, fear-based control and mature, service-led masculine leadership. Why are so many men terrified of vulnerability? Why does our culture push the narrative that it isn't safe for men to feel?We dive deep into the psychology of the "little boy" searching for his father's validation through money, status, and control, and how this spiritual dehydration is impacting relationships, women, and the next generation of young boys. Most importantly, Jacob shares his profound insights from men's work, highlighting the incredible healing power of emotional safety, brotherhood, and bringing deep presence back into the home.If you are a man wanting to step into your true power, a woman desiring deep leadership in partnership, or a parent raising boys in today's world—this episode is for you.What We Cover:The dangerous illusion of the "Manosphere" and red-pill culture.True masculine leadership vs. dictatorship in relationships.Why suppressing emotions destroys intimacy and true connection.The deep "spiritual dehydration" driving the pursuit of money, cars, and status.How fathers can protect young boys and heal the culture by simply being present.Let's Connect! If you loved this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your lover or friends.Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways:[00:00 - 03:00] Intro & Catching Up: Jacob and Meg check in from "cloud nine," talking about their current spiritual era, before diving into the heavy topic of the day: the manosphere and toxic masculinity.[03:00 - 07:00] The Illusion of Leadership: Meg breaks down a triggering quote from the manosphere, explaining why a man acting like a "dictator" is not the true masculine leadership that women actually yearn for. Mature leadership is in service to a partner's nervous system.[07:00 - 11:30] Leading with Fear vs. Connection: Jacob explains how the inability to be vulnerable causes men to lead with fear and control. We discuss the lack of relational attunement and the "frenetic feminine energy" of constantly needing to be stimulated.[11:30 - 17:30] The Myth of the Stoic Man: Should men hide their emotions from their partners? Jacob explains the difference between emotional dumping and true emotional containment. We discuss the vital importance of men having a safe brotherhood to process decades of pain so they can bring tenderness back to their relationships.[17:30 - 24:00] Terrified of Love & The "Daddy" Wound: Jacob dissects how a lack of emotional safety leads men to chase material wealth, cars, and status. We explore how these outward displays of dominance are often just a wounded little boy begging for a father's validation and attention.[24:00 - 35:00] Changing the Culture of Men: How do we shift away from this? It starts with presence. Jacob shares beautiful stories from his men's work retreats and everyday life, emphasizing that men don't need to be hardened—they need to be seen, held, and allowed to have emotional range.[35:00 - 45:30] Protecting the Next Generation: The conversation turns to parenting. Meg and Jacob discuss the critical role of the father's presence in the home to protect the innocence of young boys. Why true success isn't about working yourself to the bone for material things, but serving at the "sacred altar" of your dinner table.[45:30 - End] Outro & Call to Action: Final thoughts on finding freedom in connection rather than consumption.

What if the biggest barrier to Black men's mental health isn't toughness — it's the absence of touch? In this episode of Inner Voice, a heartfelt chat with Dr. Foojan Zeine, Dr. Foojan sit down with Aaron Johnson — public speaker, filmmaker, and touch activist — founder of The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, to unpack the “Black Brute” archetype, touch starvation, and the emotional healing Black men were never taught. Aaron opens up about losing his father in 2010, spending three years unable to cry, and the personal journey that led him to platonic touch, nervous system regulation, and healing through connection. Together, Aaron and Dr. Foojan trace how the hypersexualization of Black male identity was manufactured through Blaxploitation films and hip-hop culture — funded largely by non-Black systems — and internalized across generations as the “Black Brute” and “black buck” archetypes. We go deep into vulnerability, tears, grief, family systems, puberty and boundaries, and Aaron's therapeutic “body story” method, which uses singing, nature, and slow, consent-based touch practices to help Black men reclaim tenderness. Aaron also discusses his documentary “Dark and Tender” — a rare on-screen portrait of Black men of every age, class, and orientation holding hands and listening to one another — and why investing in Black male tenderness could reduce violence, consent violations, and mental health crises nationwide. This conversation is for anyone exploring emotional healing, toxic masculinity, touch deprivation, racial trauma, grief processing, and what true connection and vulnerability can look like for Black men in America. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro: Inner Voice with Dr. Foojan Zeine 08:06 – Welcome Aaron Johnson to the show 08:52 – Losing his father in 2010 & the tragedy that changed everything 09:38 – Unable to cry for 3 years: reclaiming emotional expression 11:02 – Discovering the need for platonic touch 11:46 – What is the “Black Brute” archetype? 12:26 – Mentoring a young man through touch healing 13:22 – Gender vs. race: who has access to platonic touch? 15:13 – Origins of hypersexualization: Blaxploitation & hip-hop culture 17:19 – Who funds the “Black Brute” narrative? 19:21 – Vulnerability & tears in Black family systems 20:47 – The hidden labor of Black mothers preserving tenderness 23:45 – Puberty, boundaries & the shift in family touch 26:52 – The “body story” therapeutic method explained 29:14 – Singing, nature & building safety before touch 30:34 – Slow, consent-based touch practices in action 32:41 – The documentary “Dark and Tender” 34:29 – Why Black men are missing from healing retreats 35:11 – Investing in Black men's tenderness to reduce violence 36:24 – The prototype we were given — and bought into 38:14 – Has the film's impact reached Black American men nationally? 39:02 – Touch, culture & capitalism around the world 42:44 – A message to parents raising Black male children 44:40 – Where to find Aaron Johnson & the CUT Project 45:09 – Closing: Follow, share, and leave a review About Aaron Johnson: Aaron Johnson (he/him) is a public speaker, facilitator, filmmaker, and touch activist focused on the emotional and relational lives of Black men, founder of The Chronically UnderTouched (CUT) Project, and co-founder of Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action.

Ellen Moore, host of The Slut Show with Ellen Moore, is back on the podcast! She opens up about a recent breakup that resulted in a nine page letter detailing how toxic masculinity had given her partner a misconception of what a relationship should be. The women go into how misogyny has created a culture around dating that allows for men to have their privilege leak over into our romantic lives. They talk about the emotional labor women take on within relationships, how toxic masculinity contributes to gender norms in relationships, and urge listeners to remember that everyone should feel cared for and seen during a romantic partnership.How to Support TATMITB:Want more TATMITB content?

Jonny and Heather weigh in on Pete Hegseth's decision to mandate testosterone testing for all soldiers over the age of thirty and offer free testosterone therapy if they are deemed to be "low T." Yep, that is Defense Department sanctioned gender affirming therapy. But it is also pretty misguded for military preparation, driven by what seems to be Hegseth's vision of hypermasculine, buff male bodies. This is not the only story this week of hypermasculine absurdity. The vice president judges the former administration for how they eat ice cream; the Tate brothers were arrested in the "manoscape" of Miami; George Santos is bidding for a comeback on a reality show about severe military training; Fox host Jesse Watters opines that a vasectomy lessens ones manhood; and would-be Attourney General Todd Blanche finally mans up enough to meet with Epstein File victims (sort of). These stories provide some hope that hypermasculiity may finally have "jumped the shark," demonstrating to all that it is time for that show to be cancelled.

He called her every week, but it was weather talk and neighbor complaints, never anything real. Gary John Bishop thought working hard was the same thing as loving someone. It wasn't. He was a provider, not a partner. Then at 40, he picked up the phone, apologized for judging how she raised him, and said the words out loud for the first time in decades. His mom went silent. Then she said it back. He hung up and called his three older sisters next. They had no idea what hit them. This is the moment that cracked him open and changed how he loves his wife, his family, everyone.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico's ridiculous comments on whiteness and masculinity, Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party, major wins for socialists in New York City congressional races, and a media narrative lamenting the impact of lower crime rates on local businesses.First, they react to Talarico's absurd statements in his latest podcast appearance. His streak of insane woke rhetoric continues as he says that his imagination is limited by his "whiteness and masculinity.” Jim and Greg wonder when the left's obsession with identity will end.Next, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson's exit from the Republican Party. Despite speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Carlson now says he regrets his support for Trump and he denounces the GOP for its "betrayal of the American people.” Jim comments on the erratic state of politics today and both wonder what Tucker's next move might be. Then, they wince as avowed Marxists win the Democratic nomination in three New York City congressional districts. They were all endorsed by socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Is this additional proof that open socialists are taking over the Democratic Party or will their radicalism actually help Republicans in November?Finally, they laugh at the media's attempt to frame falling crime rates as a negative development. Oakland, California has seen a significant reduction in car break-ins, but some reporting has focused on the impact that fewer repairs could have on auto glass businesses. Jim and Greg discuss how the coverage unintentionally falls for one of economics' most basic fallacies. Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Visit https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Get a FREE Morning Person Hat and a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription.Fast Growing Trees Better plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.QuoMoney is on the line.

Strength needs standards. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan clarify the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculine leadership. They unpack why confidence, tenacity, and directness can support success, but only when they are grounded in humility, self-awareness, values, and respect.Drawing from coaching conversations, client patterns, and years of personal development work, they challenge the idea that strength requires arrogance or aggression. Real strength is not about getting yours at everyone else's expense. It is about staying steadfast without becoming selfish, telling the truth without using it as a weapon, and building a better life without making the room smaller. Do not follow the loudest man in the room. Study the one who does not need volume to prove strength._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session.

Most people overlook the deep ways men express their love and purpose—until they see how their passions shape the world around them. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse shares how the innate curiosity of boys drives them toward entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and building a civilization of love — if we let them. In this episode, discover why men gravitate toward machines, tools, and creation, and how that reflects their essential role in society. We break down the biblical roots of masculinity in Genesis, revealing why differences between men and women are not just natural but vital to flourishing relationships and communities. Dr. Morse dives into the dangerous trends of gender confusion, exposing how ideology distorts the very nature of masculinity and femininity—with real consequences for young people today.

A storm was perched over DC for Fight Night. And just like that, the storm went around DC as if commanded by God Himself…The UFC event at the WH was spectacular. It was like the Super Bowl of fighting, and the commercials alone were worth the price of admission. The UFC event at the White House was spectacular—Super Bowl of striking and grappling, where the commercials alone delivered more knockout value than most fight cards. I read this tweet about the event:Remember when Obama joked that Donald Trump would never be President and Trump hit back by strategically dismantling the entire Democratic Party over a 10 year period culminating with a UFC Fighter announcing that Michele Obama is a man.And how about that Marine Corps BAND! Super Bowl of elbows and egos, where even the commercials could knock you out. And that Marine Corps Band? They didn't just play—they dropped the national anthem like it owed them money. And they played all the music, and truly shocked me with how good they were.I won't spend a lot of time on this, but I will say that watching fighters showcase their abilities and sportsmanship was something to behold.It was a toxic masculinity extravaganza. And every one of the fighters thanked President Trump for the event.I felt like it was Roman times without all the death and sex.Shout out to the new Secret Service too. Not one single “mysterious” incident where Democrats could try their annual tradition. Smooth, professional, and apparently allergic to letting history rhyme. Refreshing.Speaking of Leftists, let's take a breath and examine the exquisite contradictions of the modern Left.

Aside from Art the Clown, what has Damian Leone contributed to horror? We also come dangerously close to gatekeeping while we discuss what extreme horror is. Plus a discussion on the 28 Years franchise somehow leads to a talk about The Bride. We spend a good amount of time talking about Find Your Friends. About 98% of it is spent on the film's writing. It does not take long to realize this is not a good thing. There have been plenty of movies that have led to a discussion about the writing. There has been nothing like this one. The movie clearly deals with sensitive subjects. But it does it in a way that downplays the circumstances, the victim, and its heady themes. It is so bad that we have to constantly reiterate how we are not shitty men. (Who knows? Maybe we are. But that's a different matter.) How bad was the writing for Find Your Friends? So much so that we were constantly filing in story beats to make it make sense to us. And even then, we were still frustrated by what we had seen. This movie had all the ingredients to tell a powerful story about how women are treated. It instead was content to erratically work towards its admittedly wild finale.

Clinical psychologist and men's mental health researcher Zac Seidler on how boys are being fed increasingly inflammatory content online, and what men can do IRL to offer a version of masculinity that is healthy and vulnerable, instead of hard and dangerous.Many young men are taking a journey on the internet right now which starts with inoffensive self-improvement videos on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, but quickly becomes something else entirely.Young guys are searching the internet for fitness, grooming or relationship advice, looking for self-esteem and self-discipline. The algorithm then tries to sustain their attention by offering them more inflammatory and more dangerous content, presented by influencers with cigars and sunglasses, who give them an ideology that blames women for all of their problems.This is the loose digital ecosystem that has been named the 'manosphere', and it's leading people to wonder what exactly is going on with men that they're being drawn into a dark place and ideology that completely alienates them from women and from real life experience.Zac Seidler is a clinical psychologist and the director of research at Movember, the men's mental health charity, and he is particularly interested in men's issues.Zac has conducted some world-first research into this online world, asking the questions 'What need is this content meeting?', and how can men be empowered to pull themselves, their sons and their mates out of this dangerous cycle.Keep up to date with the research Zac is doing via Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men's health.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

TV presenter and broadcaster Ore Oduba joins us for an incredibly raw and unflinchingly honest conversation on pornography addiction, toxic masculinity, and grief.Ore opens up about being introduced to explicit material at just nine years old and the devastating "duality" of spending 30 years hiding his addiction while living a highly successful public life.This discussion dives deep into how repeated exposure to objectifying content rewires how young men see women, and how that culture feeds directly into the online manosphere. Following the tragic loss of his sister to suicide, Ore shares how he channeled his grief into purpose.It's an urgent look at breaking the silence that stops men from seeking help, and the clarity that saved his life: for his children.This episode covers the following themes: Addiction, Shame, Toxic Masculinity, Grief, and Recovery.Need Support?Samaritans: Call 116 123 or visit samaritans.orgNarcotics Anonymous: na.orgAlcoholics Anonymous: alcoholics-anonymous.org.ukMental Health Mates: mentalhealthmates.co.ukShout: https: giveusashout.orgIAPT: https://www.england.nhs.uk/mental-health/adults/nhs-talking-therapies/Better Help

There's no shortage of voices telling men who they should be right now and most of them are answering the wrong question. In this conversation with Zachary Wagner, author of Men of Virtue, we get underneath the culture war noise around masculinity and into something more substantive: the four concrete crises facing men and boys today, why virtue formation is better than role definition as a response, and how the fruit of the Spirit offers a more deeply human, and more countercultural, vision of manhood than anything the manosphere or the stoics are selling. This is a conversation about character, embodiment, fatherlessness, meaning, and what it might look like for men to be formed into something more Christ-like.Zachary is an author, ordained minister, and New Testament scholar.He grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago in a homeschooling family as the fourth of six siblings, an environment that sparked his lifelong love of languages, ideas, and reading.After completing degrees from the Moody Bible Institute and Wheaton College. Zachary and his family moved to Oxford, England, in 2020 for him to pursue a DPhil (PhD) in New Testament studies. His research focused on the theme of reward in the letters of Paul and the Gospel of Matthew, and he successfully defended his thesis in 2025.He published his first book, Non-Toxic Masculinity: Recovering Healthy Male Sexuality, in 2023 with InterVarsity Press.

The pendulum swings as an episode dedicated to something only a woman can do is followed by a show based on all things masculine in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with thanking the fans for their most downloads ever in the month of April, Steed quitting his part time job in college by ghosting a sub shop, and a casino commercial which can't be interpreted in an appropriate way. The guys get to what they meant by the topic of masculinity doing an ASMR of eating a meat sticks, a 90's kid peak image of masculinity, the positive beginning of the meaning of toxic masculinity, why men don't live as long, beers, the ultimate man names, the best ways to eat meat, masculinity norm changes through history including crying and high heels, and the best ways for a man to break up with his significant other

The former Canberra Raiders player on hiding his fantasy reading habits as a kid in Western Queensland, the joy of doing hard things, and how books brought him back from the brink. Warning: Discussion of suicide.Luke was a sensitive kid, growing up on a cattle station in Western Queensland. He loved being transported by fantasy novels — following the quests, battles and magic they offered him.Luke found release in these books, beyond the hard work and zipped lips of the strong men he saw around him.Luke didn't fit into that mould, though he did plenty of work on the farm and loved playing footy. The sport helped him find a place to belong in his world.As a young man, he scored a place in the Canberra Raiders NRL team, and was introduced to the world of gambling.This quickly spiralled into an addiction, and Luke abused drugs and alcohol to numb the pain of this period.Despite being at the height of his young life, and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, Luke couldn't pay for his groceries. He couldn't put fuel in the car. He was spending all his money on betting.When things hit rock bottom, Luke relied on the strongest, most loving person he knew — his mum.He understood, somehow, that to get out of the deep hole he was in, he had to find his way back to reading.Further informationLuke is writing his first two fantasy novels, which will be released in early 2027 under Atria Books Australia, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.If you need someone to speak to, you can always call or chat online with Lifeline on 13 11 14.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Musician Sting suggested that the decline of manual labor jobs may be contributing to toxic masculinity, arguing that many men have lost a sense of purpose and direction as traditional forms of physical work disappear. Speaking to The Guardian, Sting connected broader social changes to economic shifts, highlighting how the loss of hands-on work and community identity can impact modern masculinity and spark deeper cultural conversations. Music tuned to 432 hertz is gaining popularity among workers and wellness communities, with some listeners saying it helps them stay focused, relaxed, and mentally “grounded” during tasks. However, experts say there is little scientific evidence behind the claims, emphasizing that any benefits likely come from personal perception of sound rather than the frequency itself.

We dive deep into modern relationships, emotional availability, masculinity, attachment, heartbreak, self-worth, and what real love actually looks like.

Being a man is not about how tall you are or how much money you make, despite what some voices in the manosphere may claim. It's about overcoming impulses, taking responsibility, and learning how to show up for others with dignity and care. But in a culture where many boys encounter masculinity first through algorithms, educators and parents are left asking a difficult question: How do we teach young men what healthy manhood actually looks like? In this episode, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath speaks with Adam Teitelbaum about the growing crises facing boys and men, from loneliness and lack of belonging to the absence of visible male role models in Jewish communal life. Together, they explore how Jewish ritual, obligation, and community can offer an alternative framework for raising confident, emotionally healthy Jewish young men without diminishing anyone else's humanity in the process. Learn more about The Jewish Education Project at jewishedproject.orgThis episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Dina Nusnbaum.

Susie describes why the man who popularized climbing Everest claims he never meant to do that, why he thinks people should climb in a different way, and why it's much easier to scale the highest mountain now than a few years ago. We find out what Sarah thinks is the number one horror film ever made. We discuss twins who don't share a father, and why it raises questions about identity and personhood. We learn the difference between Western runners and the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners who dominate the sport, and the reasons they are defying the "science" of running and still winning marathons and setting world records. We debate the ethics of "unwritten rules" in sports, how these codes are set and enforced, and the ways they're good and bad.00:00 - Personal Reflections on Mother's Day and Sandy Hook's Impact12:40 - How Commercialization Changed Everest Climbing and Its Meaning24:22 - Exploring Addictive Personalities and Toxic Masculinity in Extreme Sports38:11 - The Rare Case of Twins with Different Fathers and Identity's Layers44:27 - African Runners' Communal Approach Defies Western Training Science50:58 - Debating the Ethics and Impact of Unwritten Rules in SportsBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyVisit https://www.carawayhome.com/braincandypod to take an additional 10% off using code BRAINCANDYPOD on your next purchase.Head to https://cozyearth.com and use our code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.

When the Nova Scotian writer Graeme Bezanson sat down to write his new collection of poetry about boyhood and toxic masculinity, he drew inspiration from two unlikely sources: the changing positions of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites and an interview transcript between manosphere influencers Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate. Graeme sat down with Tom Power to discuss his debut poetry collection Ultra Blue, how he examines the emotional lives of boys and men, and raising a son in a culture of toxic masculinity.

The world's idea of masculinity and the Bible's vision of true manhood couldn't be more different. In this episode, Pastor Teis tackles the culture's push toward toxic masculinity and why it leaves men confused and discouraged. He then points us back to Scripture, where real strength, leadership, and purpose are defined by God—not trends. This conversation cuts through the noise and shows what authentic masculinity truly looks like. Website: davidteis.com

What happens to trans women when we call out and name chasers? Where does our fetishization come from? It may (not) surprise you to learn it's from the exact same people responsible for astroturfing the entire anti-trans movement, the same class of people responsible for so many of the crimes they accuse trans women of. And holy crap, do I have receipts. And you need to know that IT'S ALL CONNECTED. Buckle up, it's gonna be bumpy.
