In today’s episode, Stephen brings some wisdom to us from a man who has been on a journey of sexual wholeness for a while. What can we learn from an older saint in the faith? What is the value of pursuing faithfulness and continuing to fight for purity and holiness over a lifetime? Our hope by sharing these nuggets of wisdom is that you might be inspired to keep going on your own pursuit of sexual wholeness – and recognize that what you learn along the way will have value to others on a similar journey.

In today’s episode, we unpack the visual nature of men. Like it or not, believe it or not, there are differences between males and females. Male brains are physically different from female brains. But this isn’t a science program. We want to focus on just one primary difference: men are hardwired with more capacity for visual processing than women. But what does this mean and what are we to do about it? Listen in as we unpack how to understand the visual nature of men and how men can steward this reality in a God-honoring way. Much of this conversation was born out of Shaunti Feldhahn’s book, Through a Man’s Eyes. You can get her book on Amazon.com or any other book distributor.

There is one simple starting point for men who want to work on emotional development: practice sadness. This may be overly simple, even simplistic. But after engaging with hundreds of men for over 30 years, counselor Stephen Cervantes has discovered that most men hate dealing with sadness. They don’t know how to practice sadness. Most men think emotions are messy. They hate when women cry. They think sadness is sloppy, crazy, and unnecessary emotion. Most men are good at positive emotions such as fun, play, laughter, and pleasure. They are not so good at disappointment and sadness. In this episode, we explore the issue of sadness in men and how men can better practice sadness well. We unpack the impact of fathers in training their sons to avoid or ignore sadness. Finally, we help men see sadness as an asset to growth and maturity rather than a liability. More resources for men: Men.Bebroken.com Book: Untangling Emotions by Groves and Smith Related Podcasts:
