Hometown Radio 02/12/26 5p: Bill Ostrander believes we are failing our young men

Woke Loses...young men will destroy it. But the reasons they destroy it matter. In one scenario, they replace the absurd tyranny of the left with the vengeful tyranny of the barbarian. In another scenario, men retake their proper place as the builders and guardians of civilization. The woke will lose either way, but who they lose to will decide the kind of world we all live in. And older men had better step up to provide people worth following.SPONSOR: BRUNT WorkwearYou work too hard to be stuck in uncomfortable boots that don't hold up.

Jason explains how he as an American Catholic joins the battle in promoting human dignity and inspiring solidarity through the vulnerable people project.

This is the story of two educators who never planned to become educators, and ended up building an edtech nonprofit that's served 50+ schools in Puerto Rico. Robby Cobbs and Kyle Sumrow break down the “international teaching cheat code,” the masks they wear as leaders, and how they turned frustration into a system that helps schools build real tech plans (not PDFs that die in a Google Drive).

John-Henry Westen explores the dramatic and public conversion of Jordan Schwarzenberger, former secular media executive and creative force behind the Sidemen, to traditional Catholicism. Once immersed in aggressively liberal environments, Schwarzenberger now critiques modernism and atheism as cultural dead ends. His remarks, including a striking BBC interview, offer a bold testimony to the power of truth and tradition in elite cultural circles. Rather than promoting vague spirituality, he embraces rigorous doctrine and the authority of the Church.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In this episode, Ashanti Branch shares what he's been witnessing in schools and in the broader social climate surrounding ICE, Alex Pretti, and how it shows up in students' bodies, behavior, and sense of safety. He opens with a lunch conversation with a group of young men who name the pressures they feel: expectations, relationships, emotions, and not always having someone they trust when they're struggling.From there, Ashanti expands into a bigger message for educators and communities: when young people (and adults) don't have a safe way to release what they're carrying, they can end up walking around like “emotional landmines”, until one moment sets everything off.Don't wait for a crisis to make emotional well-being a priority. Ask students how they're doing, build spaces for honest conversation, and use mask-making as a practical tool for connection and healing.A lunch conversation with young men: pressure, relationships, emotions, and trust“Emotional landmines” and what happens when people store it all upMasculinity, power, and what violence can look like when manhood feels threatenedStories that show the impact of fear and rhetoric on young peopleWhy silence (and “staying in our lane”) isn't a protection planA direct invitation to educators: be proactive, not reactiveHow mask-making can open honest conversations in your school/community(0:00) Welcome + why Ashanti is speaking directly in this solo reflection(2:18) Lunch with young men: emotions, expectations, trust, and vulnerability(4:10) Naming “emotional landmines” and feeling the pressure personally(5:51) Early life reflections + how we learn to see the world clearly(7:54) A quote that frames masculinity, power, and the threat of equality(12:08) A young person's testimony: “How can I focus on school when I'm worried about my family?”(16:06) “What are we willing to do to protect what we say we believe?”(18:57) A story about a 10-year-old boy and the ripple effects of fear and threats(21:41) Why people “store it up” until one moment becomes an explosion(22:02) Protests, speaking out, and finding your lane for action(26:59) A direct ask for educators: don't wait for crisis—create emotional support now(29:21) Invitation: make a mask, invite others, and build connection before the “boom”Join/Contribute to our Young Men's Conference: https://everforwardclub.orgJoin our Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/efc-young-mens-advocates-2345Submit Questions, Reflections, or Episode IdeasEmail us: totmpod100@gmail.comCreate your mask anonymously: https://millionmask.org/Connect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #millionmaskmovement #takingoffthemask #totm #doace #diaryofaconfusededucator #emotionalsafety #emotionallandmines #maskmaking #everforwardclub

Not long ago, the primary concern people had about boys was that they were wild, impulsive, and out of control — getting into fights, pushing limits, and stirring up trouble. Today, the problem has flipped. The more common challenge isn't reckless behavior, but inert passivity. More and more young men are anxious, apathetic, socially isolated, and seemingly uninterested in doing much of anything at all.Vince Benevento, the founder of Causeway Collaborative — a male-specific counseling center — and the author of Boys Will Be Men: 8 Lessons for the Lost American Male, has spent nearly two decades working on the front lines of this shift. As a therapist, coach, and mentor who specializes in helping young men between the ages of 14 and 30, Vince has worked with both the combustible and the checked-out and developed a clear, experience-honed framework for what actually helps guys get unstuck, take ownership of their lives, and move forward with purpose.In today's conversation, we unpack what Vince has learned through years of work with boys and men, and how his approach — which is rooted more in action than in talk — can be applied not just in the therapist's office, but by parents and mentors. We dig into why traditional therapy often fails young men, and how to give them the drive, accountability, and sense of connection they crave. We discuss the importance of teaching young men to build life “brick by brick” and helping them find their wild, their thing, and a good group of friends.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #810: How to Turn a Boy Into a ManAoM Podcast #926: The 5 Shifts of ManhoodAoM Podcast #1,028: The 5 Marks of a ManAoM Podcast #886: What the World of Psychology Gets Wrong About MenAoM Article: Get Your Son Out of His BedroomAoM Article: How Labeling Your Emotions Can Help You Take ControlSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”A quiet awakening is spreading among young men who were raised on screens, shaped by porn, and numbed by AI simulations. We've watched them navigate a world where fake often passes for real and language tries to make the unthinkable sound humane. When a viral doorstep exchange exposes the gap between “abortion is health care” and the instinctive horror at “aborting puppies,” the mask slips—and a more urgent question surfaces: what is true, and how do we live by it?We open up the cultural pressures squeezing Gen Z men—early exposure to hardcore porn, deep fakes that blur reality, and school ideologies that promise liberation but seed confusion. From there, we introduce Claymore, a Catholic discipleship movement designed to meet this hunger with purpose, structure, and brotherhood. Instead of vague spirituality, we offer a concrete path: daily prayer and the sacraments, a yearlong handbook of 52 short acts, accountability with real friends, a domestic church at home, and public witness that stands steady without rage. This formation heals the heart first, then renews marriages and families, and finally strengthens community and nation.Along the way, we map the battlefield clearly: the person is attacked, the family is weakened, and culture frays. The counterstrategy is just as clear—start with the heart, form a man in truth, and send him to love with courage. If you're tired of noise and hungry for a life that means something, you'll find a plan here you can actually live. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more men discover a way back to reality, responsibility, and joy.Download the Claymore Battle Plan! Watch Video of Josh and Follow us on XSupport the show

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.com“The Left has done itself a huge disservice by demonizing men,” says Sebastian Junger, while discussing his recent piece, “Young Men and How the Democrats Lost Them.”The post ran on his new Substack, named TRIBE, also the title of his 2016 book, though readers may know him best from his 1997 blockbuster, The Perfect Storm, about the sinking of the commercial fishing vessel Andrea Gail. More recently, Junger is the author of In My Time of Dying, a chronicle of a medical emergency that brought him within seconds of death.“And then my dead father appears above me to welcome me to help me cross over,” says Junger. Did it make sense that Junger, an atheist, would be visited at that moment by his father, who was “a physicist and an atheist, which is like atheist squared”? Or is that the wrong question? Had he come, as physicist Sir Author Eddington did 100 years ago, up against the essential nature of existence and concluded, “Something unknown is doing we don't know what.” Nancy and Junger talk politics, publishing, the liberal publication that asked him to write a piece about what it means to be a man in today's society and then spiked it because, as the editor wrote, “The science seems solid but the conclusions go against the prevailing political currents at this publication,” and the public capacity for collective resistance, viz. Minneapolis.“At the end of the day, our politics have to be calm and reasonable,” Junger says. “If they're inflamed and angry, it leads to chaos and conflict.”Also discussed:* Sebastian Junger, flip-phone devotee* Substack is the new busking* On 95% of workplace and combat fatalities being male: “You can kill enormous numbers of men with almost no impact on the population. You kill the same number of women and the population crashes.”* “Megyn Kelly's, in my opinion, almost sociopathic remarks…”* The deeply empathetic filmmaker Meg Smaker and the shame of the people who don't want her work seen* Some love for National Review* Hemingway's penchant for five-syllable titles* The sinking this week of another fishing boat off GloucesterPlus, Junger on Restrepo, the documentary he made with his late friend Tim Hetherington (“A human and experiential look at what it feels like to be a soldier in combat”); on WWI/WWII reporter Mary Heaton Vorse (“One of the most extraordinary voices in American literature”), the sexiness of a book that fits in the back pocket of your jeans, and much more!NOTE: Sarah's schedule kept her from being on this podcast, but she will be back soon.This podcast sounds 95% sexier when you become a paid subscriber

  Guest: Randell Holmes, Jr., college student/athlete at Texas A&M University, author of Daily Devotional for Teen Boys   Welcome back to our conversation with Randell Holmes. This week Randell starts off firing from both barrels as he challenges us to grasp the difference between what he calls “fruitfulness over faithfulness.” Many young men are more concerned with the “fruitfulness” of the things of this world - God is concerned with your faithfulness to produce SPIRITUAL fruit in your life and your community!   I mentioned the incredible book Thoughts for Young Men by J.C. Ryle and the question that Ryle asks, “Where are the godly older men?” Ryle thought there were so few godly older men because the enemy and worldly ambition bent them closer to the temporary things of this world and they never grew up tall and strong for the Lord's service. Randell reminds us that a lot of young men don't believe that following God is “truly worth it.” Scripture reminds us in Psalm 84:10 that it is better to be “one day” in the presence of God than a thousand elsewhere! You might ask, “Is following God truly worth it?”  Randell's challenge to you is that you'll never know unless you truly try it. That reminds me of an incredible statement from the British author G.K. Chesterton who said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.”   Our next topic of conversation brings up the idea of Christian hedonism put forth by John Piper in Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist. Piper says that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him. Check out this article from Desiring God's website for further explanation. Randell reminds us that Romans 8:5-6 addresses this same concept - that when our minds are set on what the flesh desires, that “mind governed by the flesh is death.” But those who set their minds on “things above” or the “Spirit” have “life and peace.”   Randell's recommendations for this year: Recognize that you cannot manage sin. Sin will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and cost you more than you wanted to pay. “Be killing sin or sin will be killing you,” John Owen. Make a priority to open up God's Word. The same breath that God breathed into Adam is breathed into us through His Word. Find a mentor who will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.   Final word from Randell - if you're not a believer/follower of Jesus Christ - you're missing out on God's purpose for you! Find a good church, open the Word of God, ask some questions and get some answers about the true meaning of life!   Randell's book is part of a 3-part series that covers young men from youth through college: Devotions for Preteen Boys by Randell Holmes, Jr. and Chandler Fletcher Daily Devotionals for Teen Boys (ages 14-16) by Randell Holmes, Jr. Daily Devotionals for College Men by Brett Trefren T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

The house is always winning—and America is losing big. Sal Assante sounds the alarm on the explosive surge in online gambling since legalization, with nearly half of men 18-49 holding sportsbook accounts and 10% of young men (18-30) showing problem gambling signs—triple the national average. Pervasive ads bombard us, turning sports into a rigged casino where integrity crumbles under fixed-point scandals and youth swap investing for bets. Gambling addiction skyrockets, fueling financial ruin, mental health crises, and societal decay—young men hit hardest by debt, depression, and lost futures. Prediction markets add ethical nightmares, blurring lines in politics and beyond. "It's a disaster"—Sal calls for outright bans or strict regulations to save sports, culture, and the next generation before it's too late.

The knowledge of God is man's greatest knowledge. We come to know the true and living God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Read what the Bible says in 1 John 2:12-14. Take special notice of the phrase, "...ye have known him." We need to understand that this is written to all who know the Lord. Note the expressions, "little children," "young men," and "fathers." John is covering everyone in a local assembly. This has nothing to do with gender. He is writing about the stages of Christian development and growth.

They explore the importance of transformational experiences and how simple gatherings can lead to deeper connections among men. Key Insights Transformational Experiences: Men often seek meaningful experiences that can lead to personal growth and connection. Frank shares how participating in F3 and Warrior Heart boot camps has profoundly changed his perspective on leadership and relationships. Gathering for Brotherhood: The act of gathering, whether for workouts or casual meet-ups, is crucial for building community. Frank emphasizes that men need spaces where they can connect and share their experiences authentically. Authenticity in Leadership: Leaders should prioritize creating environments where vulnerability is encouraged. This can be achieved by moving away from rigid lesson structures and focusing on genuine interactions. Shifting Perspectives: Frank discusses the importance of recognizing limiting beliefs and perspectives that can hinder personal growth. Leaders should help others see beyond their current views to embrace a broader understanding of their purpose. Simplicity in Engagement: Simple gatherings, such as meeting for hot dogs or casual discussions, can effectively draw men together and foster meaningful conversations, making it easier for them to engage with one another. Leadership Applications Focus on Gathering: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating informal gatherings that encourage connection among men, such as breakfast meetings or service projects, rather than strictly adhering to lesson plans. Encourage Vulnerability: Leaders should model vulnerability and openness in their interactions, creating a safe space for others to share their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to stronger bonds within the group. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Leaders can facilitate discussions that help members identify and overcome limiting beliefs, encouraging them to explore their divine potential and purpose within the community.

A growing hunger among young men is impossible to ignore, and many are filling it with voices that pull them away from Christ. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss the rise of secular influencers who offer fragments of truth about purpose and masculinity while remaining disconnected from God. The guys explain that while certain traits may be admirable, any worldview apart from Christ ultimately speaks from a fallen perspective. Young men are searching for meaning, and when that hunger is not met with the gospel, they will consume whatever is offered. Ears are always listening, and if the church does not disciple intentionally, other voices will gladly step in.The conversation turns to why this hunger exists in the first place. The guys point out that men have been steadily degraded and stripped of purpose, creating a vacuum that influencers rush to fill. At the same time, the church has often been content with shallow engagement. Cultural Christianity, political alignment, and surface-level conservatism are not substitutes for regeneration. Once someone has truly encountered Christ, there is nowhere else to go, yet many young men have never been shown the depth, authority, and beauty of Scripture. The masculinity they long for is not found in strength or dominance, but in the life and character of Christ.They then address how believers are called to respond. The guys emphasize that the answer is the gospel lived boldly and relationally. Discipleship requires presence, courage, and a willingness to speak into the lives God has providentially placed nearby. Churches cannot celebrate attendance alone but must labor for transformation. This includes engaging young men directly, intentionally investing in children, and recognizing that small moments of care and attention can leave lasting spiritual impressions. Influence is not limited to platforms; it is multiplied by faithfulness.Finally, the guys focus on the role of discipleship in the home and the church. Fatherlessness, whether physical or emotional, has left many young men without guidance, discipline, or example. The gospel restores order, purpose, and authority, calling men to repentance, leadership, and sacrificial love. Family devotion and sound teaching become foundations for generational change. Discipleship is framed as a mutual exchange of exhortation and growth, rooted in Scripture and oriented toward glorifying God. The episode closes with a call for men to lead with conviction, to invest deeply in the next generation, and to anchor identity and purpose in Christ alone.Send us a textThanks for listening!

A growing hunger for purpose and meaning among young men has left many susceptible to secular influencers who offer fragmented truths apart from Christ. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how the church must respond with intentional discipleship, presence, and bold engagement to guide this generation toward genuine faith. They emphasize that true masculinity, authority, and purpose are found not in cultural substitutes or political agendas, but in a life rooted in Christ. The guys highlight the importance of investing in relationships, speaking life into young men, and modeling godly leadership both in the church and at home. Through relational investment, family devotion, and faithful exhortation, believers can impact young men and set them on a path of lasting transformation that honors God and shapes future generations. They call the church to rise above cultural distraction, prioritize gospel-centered mentorship, and be unwavering in pointing this generation to the truth and life found only in Jesus.Send us a textThanks for listening!

It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

What is truly happening to young men online? They are struggling with insecurity and mental health issues, often drawn into content that offers a false sense of belonging. Learn from Jess VanderWier, a therapist who works with struggling boys, and Todd Minerson of Movember Canada, how algorithms exploit young men's desire to be "ripped and rich" by feeding them toxic views and pushing them into unsafe rabbit holes. This episode addresses the dangerous rise of performative masculine personalities, the downstream effects of porn addiction, and provides concrete advice for parents on how to have real, consistent conversations and become the dependable role models their sons desperately need. This is episode #168 of Gents Talk, supported by Bulova Canada and hosted by Samir Mourani.

In this episode of Inside Men's Mental Health, I welcomed back Dr. Krista Fisher, Young Men's Health Research Fellow at the Movember Institute of Men's Health and a leading voice in the study of young men's experiences online. Together, we dove into the findings of the groundbreaking Young Men's Health in a Digital World report, which surveyed over 3,000 young men across the UK, US, and Australia to explore how social media and online masculinity influencers are shaping mental health, identity, and relationships. Dr. Fisher unpacks the evolution of the "manosphere"—from fringe online communities to mainstream platforms like TikTok and YouTube—and discusses the spectrum of content young men encounter, from self-improvement and lifestyle advice to more harmful narratives around misogyny and hopelessness. Our conversation highlights both the potential benefits and risks of engaging with this content, emphasizing the importance of agency, critical awareness, and offline support systems. This episode also addresses the role of algorithms, the need for better policy and regulation, and the value of co-developing solutions with young men themselves. Please check out the full Movember report and look to the Movember Institute of Men's Health for more research and resources aimed at supporting young men's health in the digital age.

Get all set for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time with Father Jonathan Meyer.SummaryIn this episode of the 'All Set for Sunday' podcast, hosts Scott Williams and Father Meyer engage in a lively discussion about the significance of the readings for the second Sunday in Ordinary Time. They explore the themes of God's mission as presented in Isaiah, the grace and identity in Paul's letter to the Corinthians, and the powerful declaration of John the Baptist as he identifies Jesus as the 'Lamb of God.' The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing the larger mission of God, even in ordinary times, and the role of the Eucharist in connecting the Nativity story to the sacrifice of Christ. Father Meyer shares insights from his Christmas homily, emphasizing the connection between the shepherds, the lambs, and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, which resonates deeply with the listeners.TakeawaysGod's mission is global, not just local.Before correction comes identity, before instruction comes grace.John the Baptist boldly declares Jesus as the Lamb of God.The Nativity story foreshadows the sacrifice of Christ.Large Catholic events foster community and encourage faith.Chapters02:41 Exploring the Readings for Ordinary Time05:20 John the Baptist's Declaration08:25 The Significance of the Shepherds12:05 Connecting the Nativity to the Eucharist16:25 The Role of Large Catholic Events21:01 Reflections on Young Men's Vocations26:56 Innovating Parish Missions for the Future32:02 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The sermon, drawn from Titus 2:6–8, calls for a holistic, Christ-centered discipleship that transcends mere information transfer by emphasizing the vital role of godly example in shaping young men. It underscores that true spiritual formation occurs through imitation of mature, self-controlled leaders who embody sober-mindedness—marked by inner restraint, wisdom, and moral integrity—rather than through performative boldness or cultural provocation. The passage demands that pastors and mentors be living patterns of good works, demonstrating incorruptibility, reverence, sound doctrine, and disciplined speech, not for personal acclaim but to make their opponents ashamed through the integrity of their lives. In a cultural moment prone to equating courage with crudeness and maturity with boundary-pushing, the sermon warns against the danger of spiritual license, affirming that genuine strength lies in self-governance, not in transgression. Ultimately, it calls for a generation of men who reflect Christ's balanced authority—marked by both boldness and restraint, truth and grace—so that the church may stand firm in the last days as a credible witness to the world.

Today's episode is directed specifically at young men ages 18–30, and it covers one of the most destructive and overlooked addictions right now: sports gambling...With betting apps, prop bets, and “risk-free” offers everywhere, gambling has become a casino in your pocket. In this solo episode, Jimmy breaks down why sports gambling is uniquely dangerous for young men, how it rewires dopamine, why most gamblers lose long-term, and how this addiction quietly destroys finances, focus, relationships, and mental health.Jimmy shares real stories, real numbers, and personal experiences to explain why this vice is being normalized, how it traps people into chasing losses, and why it has one of the highest relapse and suicide rates of any addiction.This episode isn't about judgment. It's about protecting your future, building discipline, and choosing long-term freedom over short-term dopamine. If you're a young man, or you know one who's caught in this cycle, this episode is worth listening to and sharing. Watch on YouTube:youtube.com/@mrjimmyrexFollow Jimmy on Instagram:instagram.com/mrjimmyrex

In this episode, Ron is joined by Hagar Chemali (Fmr. spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) to break down the Trump administration's 2025 National Security Strategy—and why it reads like multiple agendas stitched together. They dig into the document's big shift toward the Western Hemisphere, what “partnership without shared values” really implies, and how the administration's internal split—isolationists vs. internationalists—creates real risk when the U.S. can't speak with one voice. The conversation moves to China and Taiwan, where the NSS repeats long-standing policy while the administration's actions suggest a tougher, more transactional posture. Then they hit the blind spots: Hong Kong and Jimmy Lai, the chilling signal sent by a collapse of opposition space, and what it means when human rights drops out of the national security frame. Finally: Islamist extremism and antisemitic violence, including the Bondi Beach shooting and a foiled bombing plot in Southern California—and why ignoring incitement doesn't make it disappear.

Scott Galloway is no conservative, and I am not sure he would like me nearly as much as I like him. But despite his professed atheism and center-left political leanings, a certain common grace has enabled Galloway to become a counter-voice in today's responsibility-averse culture.  His new book, Notes on Being a Man, offer a few truisms that are desperately needed, desperately lacking, and profound for their counter-cultural tenor. In today's Capital Record, we will look at how this message may be the lowest hanging fruit for a free and virtuous society in this current societal moment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
