Walk for a Bloke – Let’s Talk About Men's suicide prevention. Part 2 of 2

In Part 2 of our Walk for a Bloke special, Dave, Zac, Jared, and Brad go deeper. If Part 1 was about the event, Part 2 is about the men behind it — their stories, their struggles, and the hope they’re clinging to.

We talk about what it’s like to feel completely lost as a man, how faith intersects with mental illness, and why these chat might be uncomfortable… but they’re also vital.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not okay,” or you’ve watched a mate fall apart and not known what to say — this is the episode to lean into.

In this episode:
☑️ Real testimonies from the boys
☑️ Faith when it feels distant
☑️ Why blokes need brotherhood
☑️ Encouragement for those walking through the valley
☑️ What we’re praying for as we walk to Cooly
