Today, we’re diving into the topic of rejecting our God-given design, our identity. John Lovell from the Warrior Poet Society is our guest. We are zooming in on masculinity, and really, the cultural repudiation of it. As such, we’re going to talk about how culture is reshuffling depravity, how men must reject passivity, and very specifically, why postmodernism has neutered masculinity. Listen, this is not an easy conversation. But here’s my overarching motivation: If we are going to accurately and successfully talk about mental and emotional health here on Win Today, we have to do so from an understanding of our design.
