Ep 46 Does the Moderate Still Exist? The Path to Radicalization

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the tension behind a pressing question: Does the moderate still exist, or has modern culture forced every man toward radicalization? From the collapse of nuanced conversation into “us vs. them” buckets to the way social media rewards outrage, Colton reflects on his own struggle to hold convictions without being swept into extremes. Through personal experience and scriptural reflection, he frames the question not as a call to choose a side, but as a challenge to wrestle honestly with what it means to lead as a Christian man in a polarized world.

Listeners will walk away with space to reflect rather than a list of answers. This episode challenges men to ask: Am I reacting to outrage, or am I standing firm in truth? Am I being radicalized by culture, or reshaped by Christ? You may not be able to avoid being labeled “radical,” but you can choose what drives you.
