Modern men are raised in a culture of collapse. Nihilism—“God is dead”—is the air we breathe. But what if this crisis has deep roots, stretching back nearly a thousand years?

In this powerful conversation, Paul (Path of Manliness) speaks with historian and Orthodox priest Fr. John Strickland, author of the Paradise and Utopia series.

Together, they uncover how the Great Schism, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky all shaped the West’s descent into meaninglessness—and why only Tradition can offer a way back.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s about recovering what men truly need: order, stability, brotherhood, and faith that transforms the soul.

If you’re a man who senses something deeply wrong with modern culture, join us. Our online men’s groups are building strength, forging real brotherhood, and rediscovering Tradition as the foundation for a meaningful life.
