Order of Man Ryan Michler

Reflecting on their contrasting Father's Day experiences, Ryan and Kipp kick off this week's Ask Me Anything with a personal touch.

They delve into heartfelt discussions on personal growth and parenting. For first-time fathers, Ryan offers invaluable tips on supporting partners and fostering bonds with newborns. He champions the idea of gradually introducing children to life's challenges, preparing them for independence.

If you’re paying attention even in the slightest, you know there is a clear and deliberate agenda to undermine and de-value men and the role they play in society. It’s crucial that we, as men, remain vigilant in the knowledge of that and, more importantly, continue to show up powerfully for those we wish to lead and serve.
My guest today, Mark Driscoll, has been doing this for decades specifically through his ministry of Christ. We talk about whether or not men are the problem in society, the balance between fearless courage and loving kindness, why submitting to proper authority does not make us weaker men, the key archetypes of masculinity, Christian weakness, and why curiosity will you put you on a path to becoming a better man.

Hunting has become such an integral part of my life and I can’t help but want to talk about all the stories and memories I’ve made and what hunting has done in my own life with other people. Many of you who listen to the podcast, know my co-host, Kipp Sorensen. When I had the opportunity to take him on his first archery hunt in Hawaii last week, I could not wait for it.

Today, I share our conversation from the porch in Hawaii about his first archery experience. We talk about looking for and creating opportunities, the power of curiosity and inquisitiveness, how to get into hunting for the first time, being coachable and teachable and what that will do for your life, some of the lessons he’s learned, and whether or not he was able to get his first kill.
