Apr 22, 2025•1 hr 29 min•Season 2Ep. 7
Episode description
In a world where masculinity is often branded 'toxic' and traditional gender roles are in flux, many young men are searching for identity. Some are looking to manosphere influencers like Andrew Tate. Others have been drawn to Jordan Peterson. But an increasing number are trying out church.
in the first of 2 documentary episodes, Justin Brierley traces the roots of the modern male identity crisis and the voices competing for their attention online. New York pastor Jon Tyson, Dr Anthony Bradley and evangelist Glen Scrivener outline the opportunity for Christian mentors to model examples of true masculinity to young men.
Justin also hears the surprising rebirth story of Anglican ordinand Oliver Murray.
