48:28Now PlayingEvery boy desires to become a man. But what happens when authentic models of masculinity are missing?
In this episode, we unpack the rise of the manosphere, the deep wounds many young men are carrying, and why so many influencers are gaining traction by speaking to those wounds. Are they offering genuine healing—or simply monetizing male insecurity? Along the way, we explore fatherhood, the need for masculine affirmation, the difference between strength and domination, and what it really means to become a man. Drawing on Theology of the Body, personal stories, and a fascinating documentary, this conversation gets to the heart of a question every man, and every parent of boys, must face: who is teaching our sons what it means to be men?
