EP 92 - What is healthy masculinity? With James Ray!

James Ray is the founder and CEO of XCC the Extreme character challenge focused on helping men their full selves.

XCC focuses on the mind, body and soul of a man!

"Our mental health, like physical health, can fluctuate. It is reported that almost 50% men regularly feel worried or “low”. Our minds are also the places we often make moral decisions, about what we think is right or wrong. We think through problems and think about issues.On an XCC we make space to talk about some of the difficult challenges we face and to speak together about some of the “solutions” or at least some ways others have found answers.It is a time for you to think.That’s why it is a MIND ADVENTURE.

It can be said that we don’t just have a body, we are a body! Our bodies are remarkable, strong, resilient and powerful….but some of us haven’t discovered that yet.An XCC is a demanding physical experience, designed to challenge and test your body. It’s not a military fitness test, more an exercise in determination and resilience. Those who have gone before you have said it was one of the most rewarding physical experiences of their lives.Your body will impress you…but you should get ready: train a bit, it will be tough. That’s why it is a BODY ADVENTURE

You might be wondering: “What do they mean by SOUL?” – some people don’t even believe such a thing exists!….but we think that when you connect with people, or watch a sunset or stand in a quiet place, something can happen “inside” us. And this is a SOUL connection….XCC events are run as a journey to discover identity and purpose. Faith is therefore a key element and is something we talk about, specifically from a Christian perspective. However everything we do is held as “optional” in the sense that you buy in as much as you can and want to. That’s why it is a SOUL ADVENTURE"
