This episode starts off with Duane, Schaane and Garrett talking about Duane's company Vitex. They start talking about building businesses and community only to get drawn into a fairly heated argument about their new group fitness challenge and point system when Sylvester and Craig join the discussion. The two competitors inexplicably start working out on the call in order to score more points for the newly created fitness challenge. Eventually the men start a discussion about what it means to be a man. They also talk about what it actually means to protect and provide, and if protecting involves a willingness or ability to fight should the circumstance require it. The group takes a deep dive into gender role stereotypes and biases, as they attempt to figure out what these things mean for masculinity. Ensuring that no stone is left unturned, the men also discuss how gender fluidity, toxic masculinity, and expectations of men by society all intersect.

UNCHARTED Mission Hills Church As men, we often face uncharted territory and unfamiliar terrain in our lives. This can manifest itself in any number of ways in our lives – from unexpected circumstances to everyday events that we face. As we seek to grow into the leaders, fathers, friends, and mentors that God has called us to be, we can expect to be barraged with attacks from the enemy. That first step of a journey into the unfamiliar or unknown can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Through UNCHARTED, we are here to equip you with the tools you need to conquer the unexplored. We will look to those who have been there before to provide guidance to help us along the way.
