What does Noble manhood look like? Will it change things – or just add to the issues? Stephen Mansfield is a best-selling author and influential statesman. His counsel is sought by key leaders across the nations which has taken him from the halls of Washington to the shores of Tripoli. Stephen has answers. They’re not easy – it involves men accepting responsibility.
Stephen has written numerous best-sellers from Lincoln’s Battle With God to Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men. But success came from deep valleys of pain and perseverance. He’s open about what it takes to access great faith from deep hurts.
Mansfield has been in the warzones of the world – so he doesn’t mess around or speak lightly. It’s direct as dirt, but with a passionate desire to see men level up their lives in Christ. In a very open and free convo we discuss the cultural pressures young men face today—including the effects of toxic masculinity and cancel culture—and the urgent need for strong father figures and mentors.
It’s a fascinating time together as we journey from the streets of the American male to the mountains of the Kurdish men. BraveMen is a production of the Christian Men’s Network—a global movement committed to defeating fatherlessness, ending child abuse, and raising up strong men of God.
