Men and the Crises of Our Times Oct 30, 2018

Show notes

A shooting at a synagogue, a series of pipe bombs… the violence continues to infiltrate our daily lives. If you’re a young man, in particular, it’s increasingly likely that at some point in your life you could be exposed to an act of terroristic violence: a threat in your local school, mall, restaurant, bar, church, or synagogue. It’s time that we talk about what manhood looks like in a time of crisis. What does a man do in the face of these threats? How does a man prepare himself for a crisis? Listen to this episode to set your plan of action. Don’t let fear and panic catch you off guard.

On St. Crispin’s Day Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

Mark your calendar! October 25 is St. Crispin’s Day, made famous by King Henry V’s rousing speech given in 1415 at the Battle of Agincourt. While we don’t know all of the actual words spoken that day, William Shakespeare filled in the gaps with his imagination nearly 200 years later in his play, Henry V. From this speech we get that immortal call to arms, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.” This October 25, read the speech for yourself (available here).

From The Archive: The Lore of Manhood Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

About 30 young men were on a discussion board looking for information that they just couldn’t find anywhere else… no fathers or brothers to talk to. Sadly, they were all completely wrong about the topic. Men, if we want to restore noble manhood, we have to foster a culture where conversations can happen. Older men, develop a culture around you in which you’re willing to share the lore of manhood. Younger men, find older, noble men who can teach you things. Nothing should be laughable or off limits. The lore of manhood doesn’t stem from locker room conversations and men’s health magazines. It’s born from a culture of noble manhood. This episode was originally published on February 20, 2018.

A GreatMan Generation Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

What does the Kavanaugh confirmation process tell us about great and noble manhood in our generation? Stephen posits that our lasting challenge is not so much the politics of left and right, but the legitimate issue that women are often abused and the people who most often abuse them are often untethered, unprincipled, and unfathered men. Gentlemen, this is not a moment to be offended, but a moment to realize that there are legitimate claims being made and society isn’t hearing them.

Killer Pride Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

There are many types of pride, but the kind of pride most endemic to men is the kind that results from not receiving affirmation earlier in life. You probably know a guy like this who lives in a Palace of Self. He gets a sentence quoted in the paper and then puts the clipping on his wall and talks about it for weeks. In this episode, you’ll be challenged to take an inventory of your own self and susceptibility to pride. Furthermore, you’ll learn why a GreatMan can call out the praiseworthy features in others’ lives. Learn how to affirm men around you and strengthen the good in their lives through genuine affirmation.

Our Kavanaugh Moment Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

Let’s talk about Kavanaugh. Not about whether or not the allegations are true or whether or not he should sit on the Supreme Court. Instead, let’s focus on how the sexual revolution of the 1960s changed manhood and on how it’s harming men who have lived all these years without a code. Society is correcting itself (as it should) through the #MeToo movement. Today, there is a reckoning. Women are right. And men are paying a price for living the unprincipled lifestyles that society urged upon them. Men, you need a code. If you don’t have guiding beliefs about how to conduct yourself, society will swallow you up.

The Power of Responsible Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

The strength and glory of a man are exhibited when he takes responsibility. It’s at the heart of noble manhood. Owning your responsibility is more than just checking off a list of household chores. (Though that’s part of it.) Being responsible in a manly way includes taking charge in the broader sense of your “field” – that is, your relationships, obligations to community, and self. Take responsibility and prosperity will follow. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Women Framing Manhood Sep 11, 2018

Show notes

We talk often on this podcast about a man’s role in fostering a culture of noble manhood. But women also play a critical role in this area. In today’s episode, Stephen shares how his mother (and perhaps yours, too) had a special ability to articulate the world. Mothers often provide a lens through which their children view the world. While it may be your father’s example that you remember, it is likely your mother’s voice that resounds the most.

Manly Decision-Making Sep 05, 2018

Show notes

Maybe you’ve seen another guy make a stupid decision? If so, the error may not have been in the actual decision so much as the process he took to get there. Fact is, a lot of men shrink from decision. They avoid the process. They shove it in a drawer, hoping someone else will show up and make it for them. Of course, this isn’t the way YOU want to live your life. In this episode: four steps to manly decision-making. This episode starts with an exercise that every man should complete and ends with a call for humility.

A Story and The Blessing Aug 28, 2018

Show notes

Earlier this year, Stephen spoke at an event in California. Before thousands of men of all ages, he issued a challenge: men, bless your sons. One young man pulled out his phone, recorded the talk, and sent it to his father. The son received a blessing, and the experience changed their relationship. Tragically, this young man lost his life shortly after the conference while on a hiking trip. Whatever your religion, whatever your father/son relationship (even if you no longer have a father), this action of blessing is crucial. Learn how to do it in this episode.
