What does it really mean to be a man—and why are so many of us afraid to find out?

In this powerful episode, Jon & Will sit down with John Eldredge, NYTimes best-selling author of Wild at Heart, to explore the core desires and wounds that shape every man's life. From the boyhood questions “Do you love me?” and “Do I have what it takes?” to the deep need for adventure, battle, mission, and love—John reveals how these longings define our masculine identity. We discuss how unaddressed childhood wounds and false selves hold men back, and how embracing vulnerability, purpose, and connection can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. This conversation invites men to reclaim their warrior hearts, step into their true selves, and live with courage, passion, and love.
