Masculinity - The Inner Life - February 4, 2025

Fr. Scott Bailey joins Patrick to discuss Masculinity (2:14) what does the Church say about seminarian? How is community impotent in masculinity? Christine – As I was listening to Father, it made me think of when Jesus told the apostles to get the colt that nobody had ridden on. I know that horses that haven't been ridden on can be unpredictable. Horses don't just comply with everyone. Masculinity - fearless awareness. Men are called to be leaders. (21:35) How does escapism affect men in growing in maturity? (26:59) Break 1 (27:55) What should you do if you are in a broken household without a Father Figure? How do humility and courage complement each other? How can masculinity be expressed in different ways? (41:59) John – I was raised without a dad. Had a stepdad. My earliest experiences were from the saints. They are great examples and have been for me.  Being active in sports. As an adult man, I come from an emotional base. I've navigated it and have never gotten angry. I've found other men have had a similar upbringing. Father of 4 and grandchildren.
