In this replay episode of Manlihood, we’re diving back into the incredible story of Saint Nicholas—a man whose life of courage, conviction, and compassion earned him a rightful place in our Testicular Fortitude Series.
Most of us know Santa Claus as a jolly man in red, thanks to 19th-century poets and Coca-Cola ads. But the real St. Nicholas? He was a man of grit, faith, and action—a true example of masculinity worth celebrating.
The True Story of St. Nicholas
Born in 270 AD in Turkey, Nicholas became a priest, a protector of the vulnerable, and a champion of his faith. Despite persecution and imprisonment under Emperor Diocletian, he never backed down.
Miracles and Legends
From raising murdered children to life, to calming stormy seas, Nicholas’s life is packed with miraculous stories that highlight his courage and deep faith.
The Origin of Stocking Stuffers
The tradition of gifts in stockings stems from Nicholas’s compassion. By secretly providing dowries for a poor man’s daughters, he saved them from a grim fate.
The Slap Heard Around the World
At the Council of Nicaea in 325, Nicholas defended the divinity of Christ so boldly that he slapped a heretic, risking his reputation to stand for the truth.
Saint Nicholas wasn’t just about holiday cheer. He was a man of action and courage, using his strength to protect and serve others. His life is an inspiring example of what it means to be a man of character and fortitude.
Rediscover the powerful story of the real St. Nicholas, a man whose Testicular Fortitude made him a legend. This episode of the podcast for men will challenge and inspire you to live boldly and with purpose.
