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.

What happens when a young man raised in Christian values falls into the trap of modern culture?

In this raw and honest conversation, Paul opens up to his father Tony about the slow descent into atheism, the spiritual disconnection caused by pornography, and the moral compromises made in his relationship.

This episode of Father & Son Talks from the “Return of Tradition” series dives deep into how modern education, media, and romantic idealism conspire to pull men away from their faith—and how a return to traditional values and accountability is the only way back.

For men who feel the emptiness of modern life, who sense that comfort, lust, and compromise are leaving them weak and isolated—this is a call to return.

Return to order. Return to God. Return to brotherhood.

Join our growing network of men choosing strength, community, and spiritual depth through Orthodox Christianity.

Pageau breaks down the BBC scandal, Bishop Irenei's response, and why Danish TV calling us 'Russian church refugees' shows they're losing control of the narrative.

In this conversation, Paul Lloyd Robson speaks with Dr. Arne Rubinstein about the ancient wisdom of rites of passage and how traditional frameworks transform boys into men.

Our society has abandoned these crucial initiations, leaving men struggling with purpose, identity, and spiritual fulfillment.

Dr. Rubinstein shares the four essential elements that create true transformation in men - elements our ancestors understood but modern culture has forgotten.

Join our Path of Manliness community to explore this transformation yourself. Through our Core groups, you can connect with like-minded brothers seeking strength, stability, and authentic masculinity grounded in tradition.
