Father Michael Butler | Masculinity, Faith & Virtue - Ep. 048
What does it take to become a man in our time? In this episode, I sit down with Father Michael Butler, who is the priest of Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Livonia, MI, for a deep conversation on manhood, virtue, and faith. With over 30 years of experience in men’s work and 30 years serving in the priesthood, Fr. Michael brings a rare depth and nuance to the discussion. We talk about the crisis of manhood in the modern world, the importance of initiation and discipline, the recovery of virtue, and how ancient Christian wisdom speaks directly to the hearts of men today. This conversation will challenge and encourage you, whether you're a husband, father, leader, or simply a man trying to walk the narrow road.
