The Everyman's Guide to Everyday Carry Sep 17, 2025

In light of recent events, the need for Christian men to be prepared is at an all time high. Gone are the days where apathy or complacency are acceptable. We must be ready on a daily basis, and that includes the tools you carry on your person.

In this episode of the Hard Men Podcast we discuss how we think through the principles, considerations, and gear of the everyman's everyday carry.

What gear should you always have on you?

How important is alertness and awareness in your everyday scenario?

How are you making sure that you're a hard target capable of protecting and providing for your people?

(BONUS EPISODE) Marty "The Bear Guy" Combs: Why Agency is an Essential Part of Every Christian Man's Life Sep 10, 2025

Earle "Marty" Combs recently went viral online after waking up at 4:00am in his home in Boulder, Colorado to check on a loud noise that had come from his kitchen.

What he didn't know as he walked down the stairs with his AR-15 is that a black bear had broken in through a window, ripped his trash can out of his cabinet, and was rifling through the contents on the floor.

After spotting the bear with his weapon light it immediately charged him. Marty put 7 well-placed rounds into the bear before it could get to him, dropping it on the spot.

In this exclusive interview we talk to Marty about having Christian agency in the midst of an effeminate culture, what tools and training men should be working to acquire for the security of their people, and, of course, fighting bears.

Dopamine: Fuel for Discipline, Desire, and Drive Sep 03, 2025

Dopamine has been a heavily researched and discussed topic in the past few years, especially in relation to addiction.

But what is dopamine? What does it do? And how can we use it to propel us to greater fruitfulness?

In this episode, we break down how dopamine really works, why it can lead men into cycles of depression and weakness or motivation and strength, and how to harness it for discipline, focus, and long-term success. If you’ve ever wondered why you're naturally inclined to chase comfort instead of greatness through hard work, this is the episode for you.

Face to Face: Why Hospitality is Key for Culture Building Aug 20, 2025

In this episode Tate and Ethan review Steve Wilkins' book "Face to Face" on the topic of intentional hospitality and Christian friendship.

This is an often overlooked skill and practice in the church today, and one that must absolutely be recovered. A thick culture is built through deep friendships and deep friendships are built through the aggressive pursuit of hospitality.

How can we better cultivate true friendships, and what are the practical ways that we can make our homes and lives welcoming places to be?

The Top 7 Masculine Western Movies Every Man Needs to Watch Aug 06, 2025

Stories of the wild, American frontier are an essential part of the American mythos, and for over 100 years the Western film has been the primary conduit for telling these great tales.

In this episode of The Hard Men Podcast, Tate & Ethan throw on their hats, light some cigars, sip some whiskey, and talk through some of the most iconic Westerns ever made.

What are some of the great Westerns every man should be familiar with? How can we use these films to inspire us and our generations? And how are we letting these stories help form our cultural identity here in Ogden?

Building Bands of Brothers: What This Looks Like in Ogden Jul 09, 2025

In the last few episodes we’ve worked through the “Why?” and “How?” of building a band of brothers in your local church context.

How to Start Building Your Tribe: Who Should Be in It? Jun 25, 2025

When you think about building a band of brothers or a tribe of men, several practical questions arise: Are you a tribal leader? Should you join another tribe? Does this exist where you are? Are the men around you rowing in the same direction as you? In this episode, Dan Berkholder, Ethan Senn, and Tate Taylor talk about practical aspects for building a local tribe. They'll talk about establishing a vision, organizing, and setting the course of activities that should unite the tribe.

They continue working out some practical help after reading Stephen Mansfield's book, Building Your Band of Brothers. Unfortunately, not every church or community will make for a good tribe of men, so context is really important. Likewise, not every man is a leader, so it's important to establish if you have the right constituent parts to work with in the first place.

Building Your Band of Brothers: Why Tight Knit Groups of Men are Essential to the Mission of the New Christendom Jun 11, 2025

Men of today are starved for brotherhood. Close male friendships, forged through trial and fire, have been replaced by high definition screens and Saturday ball games.

Leisure time with friends isn’t a bad thing at all—but it is not where the process of iron sharpening iron occurs. In this episode, we talk about masculine friendship and tribes, specifically Stephen Mansfield's book Building Your Band of Brothers.

Jason & The Argonauts, Envious Old Kings, and Young Men’s Tribes with Thomas Achord May 28, 2025

Boomers, and old men in general, have a hard time letting go of thrones, seats of power, or inheritances. Instead of passing them on, in envy they crush young men, whom they see as threats. Is this a new phenomenon?
It turns out, it’s a tale as old as time. In this episode, we talk with Thomas Achord about Jason and the Argonauts, an Ancient Greek tale, and how it applies today.

Field Training in the High Uintas: Exposing Boys to Hardship, Discomfort, & Hard Skills May 14, 2025

It used to be that went sent our boys into groups like the Boy Scouts of America to train for manhood. But as those organizations have drifted left, we lack male spaces for discipleship and formation for young men. At St. Brendan’s Academy and Refuge Church, we’re trying to forge a new path forward.
Recently, pastor Ethan Senn and Tate Taylor took some of the young men from Refuge Church on a field training exercise in the high Uintas of Utah. During their time in the mountains, the boys learned land navigation, fire building, firearms handling, and various other survival skills. It’s all part of the Titus 2 program, which aims to train boys in hard skills and mental fortitude in preparation for manhood.

How Reviling Wives Are Destroying the Church (And What To Do About It) Mar 07, 2025

In this episode, we talk with Kevin Griffin, pastor of counseling at Refuge Church, about the problems feminism has created in the church, especially by allowing women’s sins to go unaddressed. In Proverbs, we have various warnings against brawling or contentious women, yet in the church today it is seldom you will see pastors address such women.
We’ll also talk about David Edgington’s forthcoming book from New Christendom Press, “White Knights and Reviling Wives.” Not only is the book helpful at diagnosing this problem, it also provides practical tools for dealing with reviling women. Finally, Kevin and Eric will talk about practical tips for husbands and counselors in dealing with difficult situations. Should you counsel them together or alone? How do you confront these sins?

Ego is the Enemy: Why We Need to Talk Less and Do More Feb 05, 2025

In 1934, Upton Sinclair ran for governor of California. During the campaign, he wrote a book, in the past tense, talking about all he accomplished as governor. The problem? He got crushed in the election bid. His talk and hype outpaced the work he needed to do to actually win the race. Like Sinclair, many of us can get ahead of ourselves with talk—about what we have or hope to accomplish. In the process, our hype game outpaces our actual accomplishments.

In this episode, we'll talk about practical ways to make war with ego, or pride, which starts with the words we use. Who do we blame when things go wrong? Who do we give credit to when things go right? How does seeing ourselves as a student help us tame the beast of overgrown pride? We'll discuss this and more in the episode.

All The Single Ladies (Are Destroying America) Jan 22, 2025

The Single Woke Female (SWF) is becoming one of the larger voting blocs in America. Likewise, women are remaining unmarried and childless at drastically increasing rates. This has ramifications not only for households, but the health of the American nation. As it turns out, women who remain unmarried, just like those who go to college, vote liberal at drastically higher rates. We'll talk about why that is.
In this episode, we'll talk about why this is a problem, how it affects the political landscape and economy, and what we as Christians need to do to address the problem. Hint: It isn't to keep talking about the "gift of singleness," but instead to promote a pro-nativist, pro-natal ethos. We'll talk about what we as Christians, fathers, and churches can do to reverse this trend.

Jason talks about how to actually make real change in society and politics, including grassroots efforts, and how Christians can see change on the issue of abortion.
The way you have political power is to unseat existing political party leadership, and to be a real political threat to them. Unfortunately, many Christian default to pietistic notions that don't amount to any action. Jason also talks about the global cabal of elites, Hollywood, Media, pornography, Pharmaceutical companies, and other entities that are against Christ, and how we have to oppose the wicked men in these enterprises. Most of this comes from sexual ethics, family, and a lack of strong, masculine men.
Finally, we talk about strong Christian culture to oppose the godlessness of our age, including strong, productive Christian households.

Courage, Leadership, & the Legacy of Chesty Puller: Lessons in Masculine Strength & Ambition Nov 26, 2024

Men today are told that the masculine virtues of bravery and courage, the readiness to fight, and the desire to win glory for their people and their nations are standards of a time gone past.
We are told to rejoice over the death of masculinity, but there is a reason stories like that of Chesty Puller still light fires in the hearts of good men. In today’s episode of the Hard Men Podcast we’ll reminisce on the bravery and leadership of a great man in the face of impossible odds, and discuss the evergreen need of masculine virtue.

Obesity, Ultra-Processed Foods, & The Revival of Ancestral Diets Sep 12, 2024

Is the modern American diet a recipe for disaster? This episode unpacks the alarming rise in obesity rates over the past fifty years, spotlighting how the shift from active jobs to sedentary lifestyles and the explosion of ultra-processed foods have led to a public health crisis. Hear from thought leaders like Paul Saladino, RFK Jr., John Moody, and Joel Salatin as they champion a return to ancestral dietary practices, advocating for whole, nutrient-dense foods over today's processed alternatives. We'll also critique modern dietary guidelines and discuss the wisdom of figures like Vince Gironda, emphasizing the need to reclaim health through simple, whole-food-based nutrition.
Physical health and discipline are often neglected in Christian communities, and we examine why this is a critical oversight. By referencing scripture, we argue that maintaining one's physical well-being is essential for a productive and faithful life, especially for those in demanding pastoral roles. The conversation dives into the engineered addictiveness of modern processed foods, making a case for mindful eating and proper nutrition. Learn how unhealthy eating habits can sap energy and focus, and discover practical tips on transitioning to healthier food choices for long-term physical and spiritual health.
The homesteading and permaculture movements are experiencing a revival, and we explore their potential to improve food security and protect against totalitarianism. Inspired by the book "Sacred Cow" and experts like Raw Egg Nationalist, we uncover the manipulation of food production and its impact on consumer health. We provide practical strategies for adopting a whole foods lifestyle, from meal planning tips to understanding the nutritional value of simple, high-quality foods. This episode is a call to action, encouraging listeners to embrace traditional diets, self-sufficient practices, and a commitment to long-term health for the betterment of their lives and communities.
We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hard Men Podcast Fantasy Football League! This 16-team league for the $10/month Patreon tier is complete with competitive play, enticing prizes, and hilarious consequences for the losers. Check out the Patreon exclusive membership for more details.

The Grill Americans: NFL preview, Fantasy Football, & Masculine Formation with Andrew Isker Sep 05, 2024

Football isn't just a game; it's a cultural phenomenon and a formative experience for young men. Joining us is Andrew Isker, as we tackle the heated debates surrounding football's significance.
We dive deep into the role of sports in shaping masculinity, discussing how tackle football instills resilience, confidence, and strength in young boys. However, we also caution against the dangers of youth sports becoming an idol, where parents' excessive investment can sometimes overshadow more important aspects of life. Reminiscing about the golden era of Cornhusker football, we advocate for the revival of the fullback position and explore how economic and rule changes have reshaped modern football.
Our conversation doesn't stop at the field; we examine the intersection of politics and sports, including unusual endorsements and the impact of social movements on the game. We also provide an in-depth analysis of rookie quarterbacks and draft prospects, evaluating their potential as they transition to the NFL. From assessing Caleb Williams' career trajectory to predicting Bo Nix's breakout season, we cover it all. Plus, don't miss our week one NFL picks and commentary, where we offer insights and spirited debates on the season's opening matchups. Tune in for a comprehensive, entertaining, and thought-provoking episode that's sure to resonate with football enthusiasts and skeptics alike.

Fighter Pilot: Robin Olds & The Softening of the Air Force with Ethan Senn Aug 28, 2024

As the U.S. military has pushed the leftist agenda, it has inevitably emasculated and weakened itself. While the Air Force, for example, used to be a place for hard men like Robin Olds, one of the most decorated fighter pilots of all time, now it's just another bastion of DEI stupidity and Covid nonsense. In turn, like other branches, it has driven away the real men and American patriots who once made it great.

In this episode we'll talk with Ethan Senn, Chief of Staff at New Christendom Press, about his ten years in the Air Force as an A-10 pilot. Eventually Ethan was kicked out of the military for refusing to wear a mask during The Great Shamdemic.

We also talk Top Gun 2, real life Mavericks, and the need for fathers to teach their sons the martial virtues, something the military doesn't really do anymore.

Trump Assassination Attempt, Elon Musk, & Gender Roles in the Secret Service Jul 18, 2024

Of all the things that became clear after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, perhaps topping the list was the inadequacy of women serving in Secret Service roles especially when the bullets were flying. We talk about why only men should serve in such roles, and why the push to get women into law enforcement roles in America is a disaster.

The Mythopoetic Movement, Robert Bly, & Christian Nationalism with Will Spencer Jun 05, 2024

Join us as we explore the mythopoetic men’s movement, inspired by Robert Bly’s "Iron John," and how it aimed to fill the emotional void left by distant paternal figures. We'll uncover the cultural significance of this movement, which relied on Jungian psychology and pagan spirituality, examining its rise in the context of post-World War II alienation and the 1960s cultural shifts. We'll also talk about its compromises with feminism.
In our conversation with Will Spencer, we dissect the evolving landscape of masculinity, especially in the transition from manufacturing to a service-centered economy. We tackle the introspective journey many men embark on and how therapeutic practices can sometimes lead to complacency.
Wrapping up, we delve into the importance of brotherhood and authentic male relationships, contrasting mythopoetic values with modern movements like feminism and the red pill ideology. We explore the allure of Eastern mysticism within tech culture, the evolution of Burning Man, and the intersection of Christian nationalism with biblical masculinity.

Bad Therapy: How Mental Health Experts Are Destroying America May 22, 2024

The majority of Americans have been catechized to believe that psychologists are the experts when it comes to happiness and human flourishing. But as Abigail Shrier says in her new book, "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up," it's probably true that psychologists are the last people on earth to consult about how to raise healthy kids. Why is that?

In this episode, I talk with pastor Dan Berkholder about why psychotherapeutic methodologies are so anti-Christian and do more harm than good. We talk about iatrogenesis, the concept that healers—in this case therapists—actually do more harm than good.

Girl Bosses, Taylor Swift, & Yoga Pants: Smashing Feminism's Idols in the Public Square May 01, 2024

In this episode, I'll talk about why we should ridicule what is ridiculous and why we should smash idols in public. In particular, we'll talk about the three daughters of feminism—three visions for womanhood—that need to be dismantled. They are what I'm calling Girl Boss, Inc., Taylor Swift, and Yoga Pants.
In Judges 6, Gideon was raised up by the Lord to fight against the Midianites, but first, he was called to smash his father's idol in the public square and to replace it with the altar of the Lord. The people repented, and God sent a prophet with hard words. So, do we need top down or bottom up change? The answer seems to be, "yes."

C.S. Lewis, Male Headship, & Hysterical Women Ruling Apr 23, 2024

She is a picture of what happens when women are wrongly put in places of rule, and how weaponized empathy controls an environment—and eats it alive. We'll talk about male headship, why it is necessary, and why women aren't made to rule in home, church, or society.

When you picture a family business, do you think of bulletproof vests and ballistic protection? That's the unique world Alex Stewart of Premier Body Armor and I explored as we unraveled the company's journey from a small metal shop to the forefront of personal armor. Our conversation took us through the transformation of protective gear, touching on the practicality of innovations like the everyday armor t-shirt bundle—a favorite of mine for its unobtrusive defense—and the clever inclusion of ballistic protection into everyday items like backpack inserts. Alex's insights reveal a commitment to safety that blends seamlessly with daily life, offering a sense of security without the bulk.

We also discuss the 'He Gets Us' Super Bowl ads, why Christians prefer badness, and how our woke regime-aligned leaders in the church have sold us out. Christians have a ton of money, but they've spent it in the most worthless, woke places. Why?

The Patriarchy is Inevitable: Taylor Swift, Rush Limbaugh, & Father Rule Dec 15, 2023

As the Taylor Swift X saga continues, it's interesting to note that her father, her producers, and the support staff around Taylor are largely comprised of—wait for it—men. In this episode, we'll unpack just how God has ordered the world and how patriarchy, like Thanos claimed about himself, is inevitable.

Rush Limbaugh talked about girls softening their conservative fathers.

The Daily Mail covered my tweet, which now has 22.5 million impressions.

Newsweek also weighed in.

As did the Washington Examiner, which said Taylor can save America.

Smashing Celebrity Idols: Taylor Swift, a Viral X Post, and Duties of Fatherhood Dec 08, 2023

A recent tweet of Eric's went viral on Twitter/X, which at the time of this post, had reached over 10 million impressions. What gives? Taylor Swift appeared on TIME magazine as "Person of the Year," scantily clad and with a cat draped around her neck. It may be the perfect picture of today's feminine ideal, but it's also heinously destructive for women, families, and society. We discuss in this week's episode.
In this episode we talk about a father's duty to protect his daughter's sexuality, and why this is an important inheritance given to future husbands. We also talk about Doug Wilson's book, Her Hand in Marriage, and why fathers should continue to lead their young daughters in the household.

A Response to Kevin DeYoung and the 'Moscow Mood' Dec 01, 2023

Who gets to define the boundaries of acceptable language in Christian circles? Why does the Christian community appear to be divided by the use of strong language? Join me and my co-host, Pastor Dan Burkholder as we tackle these thought-provoking questions. In this episode, we interrogate Kevin DeYoung's critique of the so-called 'Moscow mood,' as embodied by the outspoken Christian leader Doug Wilson. Delving into the discourse, we dissect DeYoung's arguments, offering our own insights, as well as Dr. Joe Rigney's insightful response article.
Language, it turns out, is more than just words—it's a powerful tool that reflects and shapes our reality. In our conversation, we take a hard look at the use and reception of strong language in Christian circles, especially in relation to Doug Wilson's language choices. We couldn't help but wonder: Why the inconsistency in reactions to Wilson's words and those of others in Christian leadership? It's a fascinating discussion that you won't want to miss.
But we don't stop there. We take on the thorny issue of division within Christianity and the role language plays in it. We explore the concept of evangelical softness and question whether prioritizing being 'nice' over boldly proclaiming the Gospel is a disservice to the faith. Finally, we touch upon the importance of credibility in discussions, urging the need to separate emotions from arguments. It's a substantial, thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that promises to open your eyes to the dynamics of Christian communities, language use, and the pursuit of truth.

I talk with Professor Nancy Pearcey about her book The Toxic War On Masculinity. We delve into the heart of masculinity's trials and tribulations in a secular world. We talk about the struggles men face in education, work, and life expectancy and debunk the often overlooked reality of Christian men breaking adverse stereotypes.

We also discuss how the church can be an invaluable resource to help men navigate these murky waters. Not to be missed is our exploration of the difference between being a good man in the context of a Christian ethic of manhood.

How to Make Money: A Biblical Guide to Wealth Creation Sep 06, 2023

Is wealth creation a good and biblical concept? If it is, why are so many Christians bad at making money? What if the Bible held the key to financial success? Kevin Love and I delve into an engaging discourse that challenges the conventional wisdom of Christianity and money—dismantling the notion that wealth and faith are opposites.
Join us as we dissect biblical teachings on wealth, navigating the fine line between the sinfulness of loving money and the righteousness of using it for good. In our endeavor to understand the relationship between faith, money, and business, be prepared for some thought-provoking revelations.
Our conversation extends far beyond theory, diving headfirst into the practical application of these biblical principles in the business world.

Unpacking America's Socio-Political Unrest with Nate Fischer: Oliver Anthony, The War Against Trump, REN, BAP, & Jake Meador Aug 23, 2023

The socio-political landscape in America is currently a bed of hot coals, rife with tension and discontent, as the recent viral song "Rich Men North of Richmond" from Oliver Anthony demonstrates. There's a massive disconnect between elites and the working class. Globalism vs. Populism. Christianity Today vs. actual Christians in America today.
Joining us for a captivating discussion of this situation is Nate Fischer of New Founding, bringing to light the widening disconnect between the elites and the middle class, and the growing irrelevance of the conservative movement. With Nate, we dive deep into power dynamics and network influences that drive these narratives, exploring the fragility of the current globalist, post-war consensus system.
Be prepared for a candid examination of the escalating tension between the liberal order and the increasing use of hard power, such as police threats and arrests, to enforce compliance. We saw this with the recent Trump indictments.
Shifting gears, we also explore the appeal of alternative ideologies, the skepticism towards institutionalized food and health systems, the rise of accounts like Raw Egg Nationalist and Bronze Age Pervert, and an alarming trend of labeling anything skeptical of the technocratic regime as 'fascist' or 'Nazi'.
Our conversation with Nate culminates in a nuanced understanding of the evolving evangelical movement, its power dynamics, and the motivations behind denouncing rivals. What about the phrase, "No enemies to the right?" What does this mean?
We scrutinize the Tim Keller-inspired transition from fundamentalism to anti-fundamentalism and its implications for wealth building. Lastly, we shed light on the vital distinction between enemies and sinners, and the urgent necessity of focusing our collective energy on the left, especially those who have openly declared war on us. A must-listen episode for anyone keen on making sense of this turbulent era!

America's Rural-Urban Divide: Why Jason Aldean's 'Try That in a Small Town' Sparked Controversy Aug 10, 2023

America is divided, but how deep does that division run? Do our small towns and cities see the world through fundamentally different lenses? Today's episode takes a deep dive into this national dichotomy, sparked by the recent release of Jason Aldean’s controversial song, Try that in a Small Town.
I dissect the song and its depiction of the ongoing divide between rural areas and urban centers, particularly in the wake of 2020’s events. We also discuss the song’s resonance with the frustrated spirit of the populist movement, and how Aldean himself has often found himself in opposition to Nashville's controlling elites.
We then shift gears, analyzing the growing sentiment in favor of a national divorce, echoed by personalities like Marjorie Taylor Greene. Exploring movements like the Greater Idaho Movement and phenomena like the New Big Sort, we discuss the mass exodus from liberal cities and states, and the irony of the political choices of those who relocate. We provide an in-depth examination of the stark contrast between these 'blue' and 'red' areas, highlighting the socio-political implications that have given rise to these sentiments.
Lastly, we scrutinize the changing face of Evangelical Christianity, particularly its shift towards the Open Society of post-World-War-II consensus. We talk about figures like Russell Moore and the pivotal roles played by David French and Tim Keller in this shift. We examine Tim Keller's influential manifesto, The Decline and Renewal of the American Church, and its impact on today’s church. Wrapping up, we reflect on the widening schism between the populist fundamentalist movement and the evangelical establishment, and its implications for conventional views on masculinity, marriage, family, and community.

The Case for Leaving Godless Places with Joel Webbon Jul 31, 2023

How should Christians think about leaving godless blue states? In this episode, I talk with pastor Joel Webbon about his new book, Fight by Flight: Why Leaving Godless Places is Loving Godless Places.
We'll also talk about the upcoming Right Response Christendom 2.0 Conference, which is about seven doctrines: Reformed Confessionalism, Covenant Theology, Biblical Patriarchy, Presuppositionalism, Kyperianism, General Equity Theonomy, and Post-Millennialism. Sit tight as we unpack the controversies surrounding biblical patriarchy and contemplate its future trajectory. I will be joining Joel at the conference to speak about biblical patriarchy.
We further delve into the intriguing dynamics of biblical patriarchy, exploring the implications for the roles of husbands and wives. Joel and I rigorously evaluate the essence of distinctly feminine domestic applications in women's Bible studies. How should a husband utilize his authority as a husband to oversee his wife's spiritual formation? We broaden our discussion to encompass the concept of Complimentarianism, investigating its societal, familial, and church implications.
Towards the end of our conversation, we navigate the turbulent waters of 'staying and fighting' versus 'fleeing and fighting' in progressive contexts. We scrutinize the current struggles of MacArthur-type churches, the compromises made by Keller-type churches, and how effectively others are pushing back against the wokeness of progressive contexts. Join us as we assess the impact of these decisions on state taxes, church funding, and the power dynamics of applied theology. Finally, we reflect on the importance of faithfully preaching revelation, interpretation, and application, and the implications of the decision to stay and fight or flee and fight in progressive contexts. Get ready for a riveting discussion that promises to challenge your perspectives and provoke deep thought.

How Should We Think About Women in Sports? Jul 19, 2023

In a Title IX, women's lib era, it's a cultural given that women should participate in sports exactly as men do. After all, anything you can do, men, women can probably do better. And so it's not uncommon to see women in the MMA, Australian rugby, and WNBA. Often, these women are dressed in sexually enticing attire, as is the case with women's beach volleyball.

Women often miss menstrual cycles and suffer higher rates of concussion and ACL tears. How should a Christian think about all of this? In this episode, I'll lay out 11 principles to help Christians think through women in sports.

Wild Man Energy, Robert Bly, and Iron John Oct 10, 2022

Every man has an ancient Wild Man within. The question is, how do you let him out of the cage?
The truth is, feminism, statism, & safetyism have been cages for men to live with wild man, or king, energy. Men are coddled, overprotected, and taught to be risk averse. But is this always a good thing? The same feminists who hate men also cry, "Where are all the GOOD men?" "You neutered them," we respond.
Against that backdrop, how do you find your golden, God-given gifts and put them to use? How do you find the wild within and set it free? It's all about that Wild Man Energy.

We'll discuss this from Robert Bly's perspective in Iron John.

How is hunting an initiatory rite loaded with symbolic, ritualistic meaning? We talk about this and more from two epic elk hunting trips.

The Secret Life of Fruit Trees Aug 15, 2022

The average fruit tree takes between three and seven years, on average, to produce fruit after first planting. Whether you want plum, pear, apple or apricot, it's at minimum a multi-year investment. In a world driven by the fast-paced industrial time clock, Google calendars broken down into five-minute segments, and a consumer-driven culture that wants what it wants and wants it yesterday, the enduring patience of fruit trees has much to teach us.

Doing the Ashes Work Aug 08, 2022

From Virgil to Dante to Dumas, the greats have understood a major thematic element in the story of masculinity…The descent into darkness. There must be descent. To find the golden branch of the ancient tree, men must descend into suffering, eating ashes, grief, death. Men must learn, as Robert Bly says, the season of “eating ashes.” We'll talk about that in today's episode.

Psalms that Curse with Sean McGowan Mar 25, 2022

Should Christians pray the imprecatory Psalms? Many notable Christian voices, including C.S. Lewis, say 'no.' However, we find the imprecatory Psalms on the lips of New Testament authors and Christ. So what's the verdict? In this episode I talk with Sean McGowan, a PCA pastor, about his book, Psalms that Curse. The book makes the case that Psalms of imprecation are important for believers to pray today, and we talk about the biblical argument for doing so.

Why Men Want Churches That Challenge Them Mar 19, 2022

In the American church today, the standard philosophy when it comes to attracting men is that you set the barrier for entry as low as possible. You ask little to nothing from men, you don’t expect much from them by way of attention span or effort, and you try to make the service as much like a rock concert or sporting event as possible. In effect, we treat our men like Homer J. Simpson (a moron) or Ned Flanders (effeminate), and are then surprised when the competent men aren't present.What men are attracted to, however, is risk, danger, and the promise of reward. When men have real mission, real challenges, and a high barrier for entry, they are fully engaged.Show Notes:
