I Am My Fathers Son. Why are Men seemingly Angry? From Hollywood to the American Prison system, to the Gender Based Violence conversations, the narrative of Men has tended to revolve around Unresolved Anger Issues that make them act more like wounded beasts, rather than wounded warriors. Anger issues in Men tend to be inherited through their Paternity imprints, but it doesn't have to cross over to...

It's rare to find a clique of men doing life together in all vulnerability for a considerable period. When you find such a group, it's refreshing to see how they regard each other.

You will agree that there are more 'Conditioned Men' than there are 'Authentic Men' out there. Women are looking for a certain type and society is always changing the requirements of a 'Real Man".

Rock bottom. Many men get to their wits end and wish that life would just ebb away and give them a break. Our guest on this episode knows exactly how that is having been there himself. In the previous episodes, the question of the Mandate of the church in helping men has come up several times. Being a member of the church when he went through a dark moment in his life and now a Pastor, he was best...

Men do not live in a bubble. They do life with their counterparts, the women. Whereas men tend to suffer in silence, women tend to readily converse and befriend. And yet it is in the silence of a man that his Manhood is affected. How can a woman help? Is it true that a man will always need a mama even if he's grown? What power does a woman wield in speaking life to a man? Listen to this.

Vulnerability by men one to another can be one of the biggest antidotes for them in the present age. We know that ladies don't struggle as much as men do with this...and even as ladies have make up, men have masks.

In doing life, a lot of men that are indeed warriors in their own right get pierced and wounded in their stature.

Does toughening it up help? Do men cry? Does it help? Listen to this.
