At a time when “toxic masculinity” often makes headlines and the “sacred feminine” is increasingly celebrated, what does it mean to speak of the sacred masculine? This episode explores masculinity at its best—and at its worst—while reclaiming a vision of its sacred potential. Drawing from the wisdom of Contemplative Christianity and Wilderness Christian Mysticism, the conversation considers what healthy, mature masculinity looks like beyond stereotypes and distortions. Here, the sacred masculine emerges as a life-giving force that complements the sacred feminine and contributes to balance, wholeness, and healing in our lives and communities. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own relationship to masculinity and to imagine how the sacred masculine might be renewed and embodied in ways that nurture both the individual soul and the collective good. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration that seeks renewal, balance, and hope. Stay connected!
