Men are starved for meaning.

In this conversation, Fr. John Strickland and Paul unpack why Dostoevsky saw the modern project collapsing into nihilism, how Nietzsche’s “will to power” seduces many today, and why the Orthodox path—repentance, hierarchy, and liturgical brotherhood—actually forms men.

We contrast utopian fantasies with the sober beauty of life in the Church, where men stand shoulder-to-shoulder and become reliable husbands, fathers, and brothers.

If you’re a man tired of isolated self-help and atomized living—and ready for strength, stability, and community—join our Genesis Workshop. It’s a clear on-ramp to traditional wisdom, daily practices, and real fraternity.
