What does high blood pressure have to do with your perception of noble manhood?

Even after its scandalous data leak, Ashley Madison boasts over 70 million site users in 2024, calculated at 1 man for every 0.7 women. What is causing this trend? In addition to the motivator of boredom that Stephen outlined last week, JT and Anthony explore the factors of childhood trauma and the feeling of powerlessness that drive men toward seeking affairs. Listen in to be challenged and called out of the darkness.

A recent Netflix documentary has brought the scandal of affair-seeking website, Ashley Madison, back into the cultural spotlight. What was it about this online phenomenon that captured the minds and wallets of millions of men? What causes men to seek out an affair in the first place? Stephen weighs in on these questions and provides encouragement for men falling into the trap of boredom.

Noble manhood should be pursued and lived out while single, married, or divorced. You can actively strive to be the kind of husband that a wife desires no matter your relationship status. In this episode, JT and Anthony examine the ways that men can build solid foundations and flourish in their relationships.

There exists a misconception about the way a man treats his wife. When a man makes his wife’s happiness his life’s goal, he neglects countless noble areas that aid in making him whole. Noble manhood doesn’t stem from the way a man treats his wife; it’s formed by the way a man pursues wholeness.

In this special edition episode, JT, Anthony, and Stephen gather at the roundtable to discuss recent political events and their application to manhood. They pull no punches in asking the hard questions: What would you do in a moment of crisis? Who in your life are you ultimately responsible for protecting? Do you lead with your politics or your faith? The answer to these, and more, lie within their conversation.

JT and Anthony are joined in studio by a leader from Louisiana, a Cajun with a cause, a believer from the bayou: Phil Nicaud. Phil is the founder and chief strategy officer of Legendary Leadership Consultants. In this round table discussion, he tells how lessons learned in the family seafood business led to his work with global leaders.

What makes a “man’s man?” Hint: It’s not the exterior.

Ultimately, we are going to live out what we believe, so what is it that we men believe about our masculinity?

Following the recent U.S. presidential debate, the judgment and humor directed at President Joe Biden is targeting his old age. Respecting and helping the elderly among us is an essential part of noble manhood. From the widow down the street to your aging parents, who can you assist with your skills and resources? Let us move from mocking the needs of our elderly to meeting them.

Who or what is currently shaping your view of manhood? What misconceptions do you see others, even yourself, believing about what makes up a man? Manhood cannot be achieved by checking items off a list; it must be lived out through a worldview. Join Stephen for a deep dive on sourcing and upholding a manly worldview.

A father’s voice can change the trajectory of a man’s life, for better or for worse. In the case of Teddy Roosevelt, the words of his father helped him overcome innate struggles that propelled him to greatness and ultimately the presidency. Let us all be reminded to speak life and encouragement to our children, lest we keep them from their destinies.

Continuing in the “Studies In Manhood” series, Stephen dives in to the rugged and transformative life of 26th President of the United States, Teddy Roosevelt. From suffering severe asthma, to losing loved ones, to nearly dying exploring the Amazon, Teddy’s pursuit of “the strenuous life” is a call to action for GreatMen.
