True Man Podcast

True Man Podcast

The True Man Podcast dares to explore the daily challenges facing men. We are all broken, all searching, and all looking for more of something in our lives. The True Man Podcast is an invitation to radical reconstruction of a man’s masculine heart and soul, and a place of safe community where we dare to ask questions deep-seated in a man.

Join me on the True Man Podcast as I reimagine the holiday name of Thanksgiving to "Giving Thanks"—a shift from a day to a way of life.
