The Masculine Imperative: God, Morality & Self-Discovery ft. Will Spencer - Part 2 [SFP066]
Where does true masculinity come from - and what role does faith play in shaping it? In part two of my conversation with Will Spencer, we go deeper into the questions that cause division, yet also open doors to profound reflection.
We take a critical look at the modern manosphere, and why figures like Andrew Tate may embody conquest and bravado, but stop short of the higher calling of self-sacrifice. Will challenges the idea that masculine strength exists for its own sake, arguing instead that its ultimate purpose is found in service.
From archetypes of the king, warrior, lover, and magician, to the distinct and complementary roles of the feminine, our dialogue probes the ways men and women relate to the world - whether through rationality and action, or through emotion and intuition. This naturally leads us into a spirited exchange about faith, Christianity, and whether morality itself can exist apart from God.
Even where we disagree, the debate reveals one of the most pressing questions of our time: if evil is real, where do we root our understanding of good?
