In this episode, I talk with pastor and writer Seth Troutt about masculinity, faith, and what it really means to grow up as a man in today’s world.
Seth shares his thoughts on humility, discipline, responsibility, and chivalry — not in some polished, self-help way, but through real examples of marriage, fatherhood, and faith. We also get into things like breaking family patterns, why rites of passage matter, and what’s drawing people back to church lately.
It’s an honest conversation about becoming the men we’re meant to be, struggling through the trials that shape us, and finding steady ground in a culture that doesn’t offer much of it.
