Ep. 89: Sacred Manhood - Dawud Walid

Whether "toxic" or "neutered", the crisis of masculinity affecting men today has profoundly negative reverberations throughout society. Dawud Walid, author of "Futuwwah and Raising Males into Sacred Manhood" , discusses how a return to the Islamic practice of spiritual chivalry can counter the extremes of both the right-wing and left-wing discourse, and how it can be implemented today to revive Prophetic masculinity.
