The Bored Man Crisis with Peter Ostapko

So many men are bored! In their work and in their walk with Jesus. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. 

In this episode, I have an incredible conversation with Peter Ostapko, who shares his journey of creating the Kinsmen Journal - an annual magazine that challenges men to lead lives of transformative faith, redemptive fatherhood, and fostering a sense of brotherhood among men. 

We discuss what it means to be a man, why men today are bored and how to raise sons that become men. Peter emphasizes the need for men (and boys) to embrace risk, adventure, and vulnerability and how those things actually bring us closer to Jesus.

Tune in for insights on redefining masculinity and be sure to share this episode with the men in your life!

And if you have sons, make sure you listen to the full podcast episode or watch the episode on YouTube because we chat about how boys come alive through play and how safety is NOT the goal for your sons (and it’s SO good). 

Be sure to follow me on Instagram where I’ll be giving away 5 copies of the Kinsmen Journal!
