Chasing Something Podcast

In this episode, I have a conversation with Thornton Fincham about toxic masculinity and its contribution to Gender-Based Violence in South Africa. We talk about what healthy masculinity is and how it is perverted through society and the current South African school system. We also touch on some practical and systematic changes that we believe will cultivate healthy and Godly masculinity.
