Fostering Healthy Masculinity with John Bishop // Episode 180
02/14/24 • 51 min
How do we foster healthy masculinity in a world that is skeptical that such a thing even exists?
We have John Bishop, founder of FORGE, on for an exciting discussion of things men can do to form the next generation of men. His website is here: https://myforge.org/
John started his professional career working at the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). During his tenure with FOCUS John served as campus missionary; compiled and/or wrote a variety of resources; and taught on a variety of topics. He oversaw several departments at FOCUS’ international headquarters but is best known for co-founding and scaling FOCUS Summer Projects, an intensive collegiate summer formation program. While working for FOCUS, John earned his doctorate from the Catholic University of America, writing his dissertation on the nature of masculine virtue.
Inspired by the thought of John Paul II, John is now fighting for men and for the family as Founder and Executive Director of FORGE. John lives in Des Moines, Iowa, with his wife Katelyn and their two children.

Friendship: A Talk // Episode 179
Friendship! It's one of those things that, without which, we can't really say we're happy.
We gave a talk to a group of missionaries a few weeks ago on this topic, and we cover not only the standard friendships of use/pleasure/virtue, but also what the levels of intimacy are, and how to communicate truth, goodness, and beauty to a friend on the regular.
Just fyi, for all you married folks out there, we're doing a lenten series, called Love Your Marriage Lent, on all of the Sunday evenings of Lent. Find out more here! https://youroutpost.stellarwebsystems.com/join?euuid=741eb19c-b470-11ee-8f3a-16256db603cb
