Manhood Restored
We are two ordinary Christian guys who feel compelled to call men back to true Masculinity. Through raw conversations between a Protestant and a Catholic, we aim to help men become better husbands, fathers, and leaders. We encourage an activation of faith and manly virtue so our listeners can become the Mighty Men they were made to be. New episodes weekly. Check out www.manhoodrestored.tv.
