We have all seen enough of masculinity gone awry. From the top floors of corporations and institutions to the basement youth group meetings of our churches, men are formed by unspoken scripts known to many as toxic masculinities. In this episode, Matthew talks with Austen Hartke and Silas Morgan about ways to unearth hidden masculinities and practice a more healthy and embodied life. With humor and vulnerability, their conversation touches on everything from the #metoo and #churchtoo movements to evangelical dating culture and more. We hope you enjoy it.
