Description

This podcast is for all people, but specifically young men, with the goal of discussing what it means to be masculine through the model of Jesus, the Saints, and the Church.

This podcast's goal is to bring hope to men who are trying to identify who they are and who they hope to become. We aspire to do this by bringing on guests who are living out their God-given call to true masculinity and have experienced the meaning of suffering and the joy that comes with it.

So, let us be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer.

Viva Cristo Rey!
