To Be A True Man: Exploring Masculinity in Modern Times

Send us a text

Mike Van Pelt, host of the True Man Podcast, hops on the show today to share some amazing wisdom with us.

After some small talk, we start with the evolving definitions of masculinity, from traditional ideals to newer concepts, addressing the balance between old and new ideals, focusing on the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. From there, we get into the role of faith and spirituality in defining masculinity, emphasizing the importance of intimacy with Christ in one's spiritual journey.

Then, we get into the subject where many men are lacking- asking for help. However, these are essential traits in personal growth and masculinity. So, what stops men from asking for help? We explore the societal pressures and stereotypes that discourage men from seeking assistance and expressing vulnerability.

We then emphasize the value of real, meaningful relationships over social media validation, encouraging face-to-face interactions and genuine connections, highlighting the pitfalls of social media culture and warning against comparing oneself to unrealistic standards and importance of discernment and self-discipline.

Mike shares with us the idea of men's retreats, informing us on the significance of them and accountability partnerships in fostering personal growth and overcoming challenges. He highlights the value of listening, asking powerful questions, and being open to mentorship and guidance. 

Along with that aspect of community and accountability, we end things with the responsibility individuals have to support those in need, highlighting initiatives such as food banks and emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community.
