The Forming Men Podcast

Young men are longing to hear more content like this. Whether that be because of tough relationships with fathers or adult men in church, young men need an avenue to hear the truth about the man they actually want to become.

Jon and Jefferson are shedding some real light on what it means to be a man in today’s society. With so many “voices” out there directing men towards a false masculinity, the Forming Men podcast helps redirect men toward a higher calling of manhood. Between their Forming Men retreat, cohort, and this podcast, something has been unleashed in me, and there is no going back!

We certainly need to deconstruct the modern view of family and along with it, masculinity and femininity. But, after listening to all 8 episodes at this point, I don’t think they did a good job of painting that picture. Lots of platitudes and clichés. They spoke against a power hungry archetype, but they said nothing about male headship. In their talk about deconstructing modernity, nothing was said about how the feminist movement has destroyed (as intended) the family and did so primary by cutting off the head (men) and by telling women to lean into the curse of Eve by competing with her husband for the role he was called to fulfill. That movement has been too influential to skip. They even implicitly seem to support egalitarian views which are simply unbiblical. If I got that wrong, it simply makes the point that they just didn’t land the plane. Get practical. What are men to be doing. Things could be unpacked like what it looks like to protect, provide, be a watchman, shepherd, sage, savior (laying oneself down), to name a few. But, to teach on these things, you must have a biblical view of family and marriage… one not perverted by feminism.

Anyone who unironically mentions Jordan Petersen should really take a hard look in the mirror.
