Heroic: Conversations on Surprising Manhood

What if the true path to manhood is different than what we’ve grown accustomed to? What do we do when we want to be a truly heroic man but don’t know how?

Welcome to Heroic: A podcast about the surprising path to true manhood. Join Bill Delvaux as he engages in conversations about what it means to become truly heroic. One each episode Bill discusses an element of manhood with someone just like you: Someone who has endured hardship, experienced their own brokenness, and fought to become more like Christ. Most of the names on this podcast you likely won’t recognize, but you’ll remember the stories.

Bill serves as president of Landmark Journey Ministries, a ministry dedicated to building men by taking them on the journey to connect their stories to God’s story. He’s releasing his newest book, Heroic: The Surprising Path to True Manhood, in April 2019. Find your copy at HeroicBook.com
