Podcasts about Young men

Recent statistics show that young men – most notably in the 18 to 35 year-old range – are increasingly joining the Catholic Church in the U.S. and western Europe, often attracted by its historical continuity, communal aspect, and traditional structure which they find offers a sense of stability and meaning in a rapidly changing world. Join us in Open Line Tuesday as Fr. Wade Menezes dives deep into this counterculture trend.

I shed 30 pounds, and I'm feeling the best I've felt in a while. But it was 30 difficult days - of cravings, headaches, mood swings, brain fog, fatigue, you name it… But it was necessary, and it made me think, “What would that look like for our schools? Our school districts? Our educators and their classrooms?”Our schools and our young people are struggling.

An overwhelming number of young men are filling their purpose void by joining extremist groups, offering them an antiquated ultra-masculine role model.A breakdown of election results in France, Germany, theThe United Kingdom and the MAGA culture of the United States reveal that a large swathe of young men are regressing into an unhealthy demagogic machoculture headed by male figureheads, tapping into their grievances, anger, and lack of self-esteem.So what is the answer?#PurposeVoid #ToxicMasculinity#HealthyMasculinity#MentalHealthMatters#YouthCrisis#RaisingBoys#MaleIdentity#MenAndMentalHealthInformation:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.reinogevers.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sages, Saints and Sinners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Deep Walking for Body Mind and Soul⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Walking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Marriage has been declining for years, and young men and women don't seem capable of forming healthy relationships that can lead to marriage. So many young people are socially awkward or focus on education instead of relationships. J.P. De Gance joins us to discuss this reality and what the Church can do to help.

It's Tuesday, September 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. By Kevin Swanson 200,000 people attend Charlie Kirk's funeral The New York Post reported 200,000 attending Charlie Kirk's funeral on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix. Turning Point USA's national spokesperson Andrew Kolvet, reported  “over 100 million overall streams for today's tribute to Charlie.” To compare, 100,000 people joined the funeral procession for Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, and 18,000 attended the Michael Jackson memorial in 2009. Franklin Graham: Charlie Kirk's assassin bullet inspired more bold voices for truth Franklin Graham told the Christian Post over the weekend that Charlie's assassin wanted to shut Charlie up,  but “just the opposite effect is taking place.” Franklin says he hopes this will “raise up an army of young people who will take a stand for Jesus Christ, who are not afraid to speak out and not afraid that they're going to be attacked or accused. We have to take a stand and be open to the truth and not be afraid to speak the truth.” Chris Tomlin: Erika Kirk's forgiveness of killer revealed true Christianity Recording artist Chris Tomlin who performed at the funeral was also interviewed by The Christian Post and had this to say about the event. TOMLIN: "For Jesus to be proclaimed so boldly throughout the whole day by everyone, basically, was, what? An awakening moment in our nation.  It feels like that.  It feels like a shift, right?  It feels like this real awakening that so many people have been praying for.  I was thinking about it today.  "I think Erika's words of forgiveness, probably the words heard around the world.  That simple moment of 'I forgive' was more than anybody could say.  You can preach all you want, but when you see something like that, when you see the true essence of the Spirit of God in somebody; that can only come from the Spirit of God, right?  That kind of forgiveness.  "We can forgive for a lot of things, but that kind of forgiveness can only come from something that somebody who really walks with God.  And for people to see that and witness that -- what a moment around the world.  I think so many people came to faith.  And I pray it's an awakening in this nation." 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." 2025 U.S. fiscal year deficit reaches $2 trillion The 2025 U.S. fiscal year deficit has reached $2 trillion, reports Fox News. The monthly deficit exceeded that of the 2024 deficit for eleven months in a row.  This spending deficit occurred despite an additional $350 billion in tariff collections — the highest in recorded history. Several nations now recognize the Palestinian State As of Monday, The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Portugal and France have officially recognized the Palestinian state, reports the BBC.  These nations join about 75% of United Nations members.  Only the United States and Panama have yet to follow suit in the Americas.  Trump on new H1-B visa applications President Donald Trump announced last week that the new H1-B visa applications for companies to hire foreign workers would be required to pay a fee of $100,000, reports The Guardian. India's economy takes about $135 billion from the H1-B visa program —  96% of H1-B visas are issued to Chinese and Indian workers - about 3% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product. Pew Research Center: Key concern for homeschooling parents is “negative peer pressure” Pew Research Center finds the key concern for homeschooling parents are “negative peer pressure” for 83% of homeschoolers — and “dissatisfaction with academic instruction” for 72% of parents. Only 53% of homeschooling parents want to “provide religious instruction” for their children.  Unlike Charlie Kirk, Trump confessed he hates his opponents The major media has noted that President Donald Trump had set himself apart from Charlie Kirk in his comments at the memorial service Monday. The President said of Charlie that “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them.” Then, he told the crowd, “That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent. And I don't want the best for them.” His comments contrasted greatly with Erika Kirk' willingness to forgive the assassin of her husband. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, 'Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:43-45). Tyler Robinson's next court appearance set for September 29th Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson's next court appearance is set for September 29th - next Monday at which point the judge will determine if prosecutors have enough evidence for him to stand trial. Prosecutors have announced they will seek the death penalty in the case. The last person to be put to death in Utah was Joseph Mitchell Parsons in 1999. There are still nine prisoners on death row in the state of Utah — some as long as 31 years. However, there were 100 murders recorded in Utah just last year. Romans 13:3-4 reminds us “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.  For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.” Gold Continues to Climb Gold is still on its way up, reaching $3,748 per ounce on Monday, while silver made a record high of $44 per ounce.  Young men leaving the Democratic Party And finally, The Hill reports that young men are leaving the Democratic Party — among white young men, that's dropped off from 49% to 29%, and for non-white young men — a drop off of 66% to 54%.  Non-white young women Democratic registrations remain at 75%, and white young women Democratic registrations have held steady at 47%.

Hometown Radio 09/18/25 5p: Dr. Larry Lachman analyzes what's happening with young men

Why are so many young men becoming radicalized online? Rob Henderson, Carolyn Gorman, and Isabella Redjai examine the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the radicalization of his alleged killer, Tyler Robinson. They explore how social media and college campuses influence political beliefs and discuss the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The conversation also addresses the normalization of violence and the blurred line between mental illness and political extremism, and what these disturbing trends might signal for the future.

Golden Lund holds three degrees in music from the University of Utah, Indiana University and the University of Nebraska. He is currently a music instructor at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, where he helps direct the marching band, pep band, and teaches tuba and other brass instruments. He also performs regularly on the tuba with a semi-professional orchestra in Lincoln, Nebraska. Golden was recently released as a bishop and served in several leadership capacities previously including elders quorum president, high priest group leader, Young Men president, and on his stake high council. Golden and his wife Sandy have been married for 17 years and are the proud parents of two children—a daughter and son who are 12-year-old twins and amaze them every day. Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode of the Leading Saints podcast, Kurt interviews Golden, a former bishop from Bettendorf, Iowa, who shares his experiences and insights from his five-year tenure in leadership during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation focuses on mental health, vulnerability in leadership, and the importance of community support. Key Insights: Mental Health Awareness: Golden discusses his struggles with mental health, particularly during a significant crash after a year and a half of service. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help and the positive impact of counseling and medication. Vulnerability in Leadership: By sharing his personal challenges with his ward, Golden fostered a culture of openness, encouraging others to share their struggles and creating a supportive environment. The Sariah Factor: Golden introduces the concept of the Sariah Factor, highlighting the need for leaders to trust their perspective and discernment, even when others may not understand the decisions being made. Delegation and Empowerment: He shares how he empowered his ward leaders, such as the Relief Society and Elders Quorum presidents, to take on responsibilities, which helped alleviate his workload and fostered a sense of ownership among leaders. Community Support: Golden underscores the importance of community, noting that members often overlook the challenges faced by their leaders. Simple expressions of gratitude can significantly uplift those in leadership roles. Leadership Applications: Encourage Open Communication: Leaders should create an environment where members feel comfortable sharing their struggles, which can strengthen community bonds and support. Prioritize Mental Health: Leaders should recognize the importance of mental health and seek help when needed, setting an example for others to do the same. Empower Others: By delegating responsibilities and trusting ward leaders, bishops can manage their workload more effectively while fostering leadership skills in others, ultimately benefiting the entire ward. 05:32 - Calling as Bishop During COVID-19 07:18 - Navigating Early Days as Bishop 08:58 - Demographics of the Ward 10:45 - Reflection on Serving as Bishop 11:19 - Responsibilities of a Bishop 15:43 - Challenges and Overwhelm in Leadership 17:00 - Mental Health Struggles and Support 20:05 - Finding Help and Guidance 21:57 - The Importance of Vulnerability in Leadership 30:02 - Opening Up to the Ward About Struggles 33:44 - The Sariah Factor in Leadership Decisions 38:21 - Examples of Leadership Challenges 49:02 - The Messiness of Revelation in Leadership 51:19 - Normalizing Struggles in Leadership The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

While often being considered the leading nation in the world, the United States increasingly finds itself on the cutting edge of cultural upheaval, political polarization and increasing violence that includes mass shootings and politically motivated killings. The recent tragedy of a political activist being shot and killed by a radicalized young man, while appearing distinct in the sense of being a political assassination, can also be seen as part of the larger tragedy of young men acting out cultural violence.     Whether we like it or not, young people tend to manifest, express and even act out the psychological and emotional symptoms of the culture in which they must grow. In particular, if young men are not fully invited into social life and given a genuine sense of meaning and purpose, something volatile and potentially destructive inside them can drift towards the darker areas of the psyche and in the modern world, can pull them into the darkest parts of the world wide web.     While specific causes and motivations for shootings by young men are complex, there are familiar patterns to the trajectory that leads to acting out violently. Research indicates that there is often a strong sense of grievance that comes from a disconnect between the lives they actually lead and the lives they think they should have. This inner disconnect can lead to fantasies of having unlimited power along with intense desires for recognition and admiration. Aided by the extremes of social media, their sense of grievance and their violent visions take up more and more of their mental and emotional lives.     While modern societies lack clarity, understanding and wisdom when it comes to issues of men and violence, traditional cultures developed rites of passage in order to directly engage and temper the wild energies of youth and the reckless urge to battle with both life and death. For, there is an inner volatility that cannot be denied or be ignored without consequences that can turn inward as depression and self-harm or erupt outwardly in violence and destruction aimed at the society that failed to recognize, accept and include them.     It seems to me that in this group, we also have to include those who appear to be grown men, but who demonstrate untempered emotions, reckless immature attitudes about violence that contribute to the tearing apart of society. In many ways, we are all in the midst of a collective rite of passage that requires that we awaken to the deeper issues that can turn a society against itself, while leaving young people in growing gaps of isolation, alienation and despair.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Do you ever feel trapped by the same old script—go to college, get the job, chase security—only to wonder if you'll end up unfulfilled and unprepared? What if there was a different path—one that builds real skills, character, and opportunity?In this episode, we sit down with Maxim Smith, the very first beta tester of The Preparation—a four-year alternative to college designed to shape capable, virtuous leaders. At just 20 years old, Maxim has already become an EMT, fought wildfires, sailed through the Strait of Magellan, packed mules in the Rockies, flown planes, and worked on geophysics crews—all while studying economics, agriculture, and languages.Maxim's mission is simple yet powerful: to become the man he wants to be—and inspire others to start their own preparation. His story will challenge how you think about education, success, and what it really takes to thrive in today's world.Quotes:"I think one of the benefits of going on your own path at a young age is that you can lean heavily on the people around you without them pitying you for not knowing what to do.""Almost every experience is different than you think it's going to be. The deeper you get in, the more you realize, gosh, there's so much I don't know.""The purpose of activities is not just to do fun stuff, but it's also to build smaller competencies in areas that are more fun."Key Takeaways:Redefine success: Instead of asking “What do I want to have?” start asking “Who do I want to be?” and let that guide your daily actions.Create your own preparation cycle: Pick one skill or challenge you've been avoiding—physical, intellectual, or creative—and dedicate the next 90 days to immersing yourself in it.Build your personal code: Write down the virtues and principles you want to live by. Use this as a compass when making difficult choices.Share your journey publicly: Start a Substack, blog, or simple weekly update on social media. Reflection plus accountability will accelerate your growth.Question the illusion of security: Ask yourself, Am I pursuing the safe path because it's right—or just because it's expected?Conclusion:Maxim Smith's journey proves that growth doesn't come from following a scripted path—it comes from embracing challenges, building skills, and pursuing virtue over comfort. His story is a reminder that the most important question isn't “What will I achieve?” but “Who will I become?”The Preparation isn't just an alternative to college—it's a blueprint for becoming capable, confident, and ready to seize opportunities in an uncertain world. Whether you're 18 or 48, the challenge remains the same: step into discomfort, create your own preparation, and start building the life—and the character—you were meant for.

Preaching The Truth The sermon reflects on the recent death of a prominent figure, framing it within a historical and theological context of martyrdom, drawing parallels to Stephen, John the Baptist, James, and ultimately, Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the importance of faithfulness, contending for the faith, and communicating with grace and wisdom, particularly in a generation seeking answers and grappling with indoctrination. The message encourages prayer for those in authority, comfort for the grieving widow and children, and a renewed commitment to sharing the gospel, recognizing the potential for profound spiritual impact even amidst tragedy and violence.

Preaching The Truth The sermon reflects on the recent death of a prominent figure, framing it within a historical and theological context of martyrdom, drawing parallels to Stephen, John the Baptist, James, and ultimately, Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the importance of faithfulness, contending for the faith, and communicating with grace and wisdom, particularly in a generation seeking answers and grappling with indoctrination. The message encourages prayer for those in authority, comfort for the grieving widow and children, and a renewed commitment to sharing the gospel, recognizing the potential for profound spiritual impact even amidst tragedy and violence.

For generations, the path to adulthood was straightforward: go to college, get a job, build a life. But many young men are beginning to question the college component of that path; tuition keeps rising, A.I. has made the professional landscape more uncertain, and there's just a sense that after four years at college, guys graduate feeling like they haven't been very challenged, haven't much changed, and haven't gained a lot of real confidence, competence, and concrete know-how.My guest today, Matt Smith, has created an alternative to college — a 4-year, 16-cycle curriculum designed to shape participants into Renaissance Men: skilled, self-reliant, and grounded in character. Matt co-authored The Preparation with his son Maxim, who is currently working his way through the program.In the first half of our conversation, Matt shares what kickstarted this idea and what's lacking in the education model for young men today. We then turn to the nuts and bolts of The Preparation, and Matt walks us through several of the program's hands-on cycles — including earning EMT certification, building a house, and training as a fighter in Thailand — and how gaining these real-world skills prepares a young man for whatever is next in life.After the show is over, check out the show notes at aom.is/thepreparationSee 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”The murder of Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska reveals the fierce spiritual battle raging beneath today's headlines. Young people especially feel this tension as anxiety—a cognitive dissonance between what their hearts know to be true and the lies bombarding them from culture.The Claymore apostolate, named after the Scottish broadsword, equips young men with a blueprint for navigating this spiritual war. Knowledge becomes medicine to alleviate fear and confusion when we understand what's happening around us. Drawing from John Paul II's teachings, this three-step blueprint begins with developing friendship with Jesus Christ through daily practices like "knees before phone"—praying before engaging with technology each morning. By viewing temptation as an invitation to prayer rather than an occasion of sin, young men learn to transform struggles into opportunities for growth.Scripture reveals two paths: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to life. Society follows what might be called an 80-20 rule: 20% actively follow Christ, 20% actively work against human flourishing, while 60% remain lukewarm. This apathetic majority has allowed cultural deterioration by refusing to stand for truth.Charlie Kirk exemplified speaking truth in love before his life was tragically cut short at 31. His legacy reminds us that authentic discipleship carries costs but also transforms culture. Through weekly podcasts, Substack articles, and community building, Claymore forms young men who, like Charlie, can become witnesses to hope in a world desperate for meaning.Ready to join the 20% who actively build a civilization of love? Download the Claymore Battle Plan at jp2renew.org and subscribe Jack's SubStack for access to our weekly formation materials. Your heart was made for more than anxiety—it was made for truth.Follow us on X! Contact us info@jp2renew.orgKeep Charlie and his family in your prayers!Support the show

In this episode of the Movement Logic Podcast, Dr. Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf critically evaluate the claims made by YogaU Online about the connections between breathing practices and bone health during a recent promotional webinar for a new workshop called “Breath As Medicine: Yogic Breathing for Vital Aging.” They meticulously analyze research studies cited by YogaU, debunking pseudoscientific assertions about nitric oxide production, VO2 max, and the impact of breathing on bone density. The hosts highlight the ethical implications of such misleading information and emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices in the fitness and yoga communities. The discussion also touches on marketing tactics that prey on the fears of older women, underscoring the need for transparency and integrity in health advice.Sign up for the Bone Density Course Interest List here!Movement Logic on Instagram03:48 Calling Out Pseudoscience05:19 Yoga U's Dubious Claims17:47 The Breath as Medicine Workshop18:39 Debunking the Claims32:57 Understanding Breathing Pathologies01:01:56 Lung Function and Bone Mineral Density: A Study Review01:03:57 Debunking Misleading Claims in Yoga Marketing01:09:38 Sleep Apnea Studies and Their Misuse01:17:57 Hypoxia and Bone Health: Misinterpretations01:23:23 Nitric Oxide and Aging: Separating Fact from Fiction01:41:02 Cardiovascular Fitness: Misconceptions and Realities01:50:47 Yoga U's Ethical Dilemma and Call for Accountability01:59:38 Conclusion and Call to ActionReferences:Episode 5 Does Yoga Asana Build Bone Density?Episode 38 Got Bones?

Enjoy this replay episode from earlier this year.It's no secret that things are tough right now for men and their occupations. Good jobs, faithful wives, and affordable homes with a yard aren't exactly growing on trees. And there's been more than enough “get it together” sermons and speeches to go around. So, when it gets down to it, if you want to have a healthy life that you love, what are the practical steps to accomplish that? It's easy to say just go to gym and try carnivore, but for men and Christians especially, the answer is much deeper than that.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

There are for kinds of men. Boys, Evil men, passive men and good men. At first, it seems obvious that the evil man is the worst—but the truth is, passivity may be even more dangerous. It's sneaky. It masks itself as humility or care, but in reality, it's laziness and abdication of responsibility. In this episode, we'll help you evaluate where you fall in these categories and challenge you to step up as the kind of man who glorifies God through bold, faithful leadership.

In this solo episode, Dave Lee breaks down the growing pushback against men under 30 on testosterone replacement therapy, why blanket “you don't need it” statements are wrong, and the real factors driving a hormonal health crisis in younger generations. He covers when TRT is truly necessary, why optimizing natural production should always come first, and how environmental, lifestyle, and developmental factors are changing the hormonal landscape. Whether you're 18 or 80, this is an unfiltered look at the truth behind the noise.

In this special father-son episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with my son, Ethan, to continue our August series on raising boys into strong, capable men. Together, we dive into the real challenges young men face today and the lessons that shape character, responsibility, and confidence.   Ethan opens up about what he's learning through work, relationships, and personal growth, while I share insights on how fathers can guide without controlling. We discuss resilience, accountability, and the importance of choosing the right path—even when it's difficult. This conversation is raw, relatable, and packed with wisdom for both dads and sons who want to grow together.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to our August father-son series [2:10] - Ethan's reflections on independence and early adulthood [5:25] - Why accountability is the key to long-term success [8:41] - Lessons from failure and how to bounce back stronger [12:03] - How to balance freedom with responsibility [15:37] - Why building grit matters more than chasing comfort [19:10] - Navigating friendships and the power of influence [23:46] - What intentional living looks like as a young man [28:04] - Handling setbacks without losing confidence [32:19] - Why fathers need to lead by example, not just advice [36:55] - The role of gratitude in keeping perspective [40:28] - Ethan's biggest lessons so far in work and life [44:12] - Final reflections on manhood, growth, and legacy     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Accountability Creates Growth The willingness to own your choices and mistakes is what separates boys from men—it's the foundation of maturity. 2. Resilience Is Built Through Struggle Failure is not the end but the classroom. Every setback is an opportunity to learn grit and perseverance. 3. Freedom Without Responsibility Leads to Chaos True independence isn't doing whatever you want—it's learning to carry the weight of your decisions. 4. Influence Shapes Identity The people you surround yourself with will either pull you forward or drag you down. Choose wisely. 5. Gratitude Keeps You Grounded No matter how tough life gets, practicing gratitude helps you stay centered, focused, and motivated to keep moving forward.       LINKS & RESOURCES • 1st Phorm Creatine: https://1stphorm.com/products/micronized-creatine-monohydrate/?a_aid=dadedge • LEVEL 1 BARS:  https://1stphorm.com/products/level-1-bar/?a_aid=dadedge • Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com • Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance • Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast • 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions     If this episode challenged or encouraged you, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.
