The ordinary struggles, challenges, and perils that comes with raising boys are magnified by a multi-billion-dollar industry targeting our sons for porn addiction, a media that demeans and undermines the Catholic faith, and educators and culture leaders who treat masculinity as a disease or a psychosis. And too many dads feel frustrated, ill-equipped, or just unsure about stepping into their role of parenting pre-teen sons.We talk about it in depth with Mike in this week's episode.Sign up for his course hereCheck out our limited release episode with Pat Flynn for our patrons on Fitness and Virtue: The Catholic Woodworker:Check out The Catholic Woodworker’s home altars.
