#131: Men's devotionals are terrible (but Jesus isn't)

To commemorate the launch (and the irony) of my latest book (a men’s Bible devotional), my friend Anthony McLean returns to host the show and interview me! We talked about men’s mental health, overworking ourselves, permitted male emotions, and purity culture… and then we riffed deep on original sin, brokenness and how to understand freedom and love in a beautiful wide open field of grace. This ended up being one of my most favourite conversations and I hope you’ll listen to the whole thing.

#31: Transformative Masculinity (with Luke Gifford) - Part 2

And yes, of course, we talked about the Gillette Ad as well. This is the second part of our discussion.
