38. Act Like A MAN: What Principles Do You Live By

Why have we abandoned the core principles of manhood? Join usas we dissect the historical and contemporary views on what it means to 'act like a man.' Drawing insight from Jack Donovan's provocative book 'The Way of Men' and the powerful scripture from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, we challenge the prevailing societal norms that have diluted traditional masculine virtues. With a nod to theologian Abraham Kuyper, we underscore the urgent need for men to stand firm in their convictions and fight for what truly matters, even at the expense of personal peace.

In this episode, we break down the essential characteristics of strong, courageous men. Through Donovan's framework of strength, courage, mastery, and honor, we explore how these core attributes contrast sharply with today's emphasis on niceness and passivity. We tackle the distinction between being a good man and being good at being a man, reflecting on personal experiences and cultural shifts that have shaped modern masculinity. This is a thought-provoking conversation about reclaiming the robust, independent spirit that has historically defined manhood.

Finally, we delve into practical ways to build both physical and internal strength. From the importance of gym routines and overcoming injuries to the military's systematic approach to training courage, we share personal anecdotes and actionable insights. We discuss the role of faith and the bravery required to speak openly about one's beliefs. Our call to action is clear: men need to support each other in growing stronger and more courageous.
