The Growth Through Adversity Podcast

The Rite of Passage: Masculine Rebirth Through Suffering, Strength & Sacred Ordeal

Ragnar "The War-Wolf" Stegall Season 2 Episode 2

Modern masculinity is under siege — sedated, softened, and stripped of its sacred path. In this primal and unapologetic episode of the Growth Through Adversity Podcast, we confront the lies of the self-love era and reclaim the ancient blueprint of manhood: trial, pain, brotherhood, and rebirth.

Here’s what Dr. Cody Crockett  (https://www.youtube.com/@codycrockett) and I cover in this episode:

🔥 Why testosterone alone doesn’t make a man — but ordeal does
🔥 The lost rites of passage: from the Hero’s Journey to ancient warrior cults
🔥 How pain, sacrifice, and symbolic death forge discipline, self-respect, and power
🔥 Norse myth decoded: Odin’s self-sacrifice, the wolf cults, and masculine transformation
🔥 The truth about “comfort culture” — why softness breeds weakness, and why pain is holy
🔥 Practical paths to reclaim the masculine code in a broken world

You’ll also learn how to rebuild the mannerbund — the band of tested brothers — and walk the path of the warrior philosopher: strength, stoicism, sacrifice, and spiritual depth.

This isn’t motivational fluff. This is a call to arms for men ready to die to the boy and be reborn as a savage with purpose.
