Order Of Man: Protect | Provide | Preside

Today, we tackle a conversation we’ve never had on this podcast – biblical masculinity. As you men are well aware, Order of Man is a non-religious movement but that doesn’t mean we can’t or shouldn’t look at all available paths to the type of men we have a desire to be. And, I can think of no better guest to have this type of conversation than Bishop Robert Barron, auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. During our conversation, we talk about David as an example of biblical masculinity, individual sovereignty vs. God’s sovereignty, literal and figurative interpretations of the bible, Jesus Christ as a fighter, and choosing to live the commandments. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS The great narratives How David emerges Lessons of humility A willingness to engage Man’s capability to protect Engaging through non-violence After the resurrection Listening to the Lord The sovereignty of God Governing your family Discerning your mission Twelve-year-old Jesus Finding true power Clinging to worldly power The discipline o

It’s easy to get distracted by everything that life has to offer us as men. Whether we’re attempting to live up to impossible standards, chasing other people’s dreams, or spinning around in circles being busy, but not productive, you’ve got to find a way to focus your attention and energy on the things that truly matter. My guest today is Vincent “Rocco” Vargas. I’ll get into all that he is doing in his life in a bit but for now, let’s just say that he’s found a way to identify and pursue what really matters to him. We talk about becoming a “Ride or Die, Dad,” what it means to operate from your “Power Base,” evolving your inner circle, learning to lead and follow, and how to become a confident, grounded man.

With as much as we are inundated within our daily lives, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to be completely present and mindful of the people and things that really matter. In fact (and in fairness to today’s conversation), this podcast could actually be distracting you from what it is you should be doing. Today, I’m joined by my friend Donnie Vincent. Many of you know him as an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and conservationist but we tackle a different (but equally important) conversation today – being present and mindful of who you are and what you’re after. We cover social media, finding work you love, dealing with a lack of confidence, taking care of yourself first, and ensuring you’re focused on just the right things. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Bridging the gap Sharing the experience Uncovering your path Capturing imagery Celebrating the wins Smoke and mirrors Collecting shiny things Discovering who you are Living a positive life Facing the pressure Moving your body Investing in yourself Fighting like hell The fou

It seems to me that a lot of men have a hard time striking the balance between warrior and philosopher. For a long time, I was under the impression that men are either one or the other – the strong, rugged archetype or the smart, intellectual archetype. My guest today, John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society, makes the case for why and how we, as men can be both. This has been a conversation a long time in the works and John has been requested by you guys countless times. We discuss what it means to be strong and smart, how to apply philosophy practically in our day to day lives, a basic introduction into firearms for everyday carry, and what it means and how to become a Warrior Poet. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Failure of men Qualified advice Evaluating feedback The pain of jealousy Being under authority First-world problems Appreciating food Beating yourself up Tools for training Force on force Mentorship Shoulder to shoulder The average gunfight Selecting guns JOHN LOVELL My guest today is someone who you guys

We all know the world can be a dangerous place and if a man hasn’t prepared himself for all that may come up, frankly, he’s shirking his role and responsibility as a man. It’s in our nature, after all, to protect, provide, and preside and yet so many men seem utterly incapable of doing so. Today, I am joined by a friend, repeat guest, and former Navy SEAL, Clint Emerson. We talk about our nature as men, how society has seemed to go soft, why hazing in the right context is good for men and culture, keeping ourselves and others safe in dangerous environments, and our need to evolve as men. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Time in the Military The SEAL brand Making bad decisions SEAL culture Proving yourself What it’s really about The “new guy” mentality Fulfilling your mission Violence Situational awareness Following the herd Train your brain Simple preparedness Macro vs. micro-skills The ultimate equalizer The great good A creative outlet An exchange of value Crisis management CLINT EMERSON As I mentioned before, my guest t
