#406 John Lovell - Faith, Marriage & Raising Sons in a Broken Culture

Zuby sits down with former U.S. Army Ranger, pastor, and Warrior Poet Society founder John Lovell to discuss faith, masculinity, marriage, and raising boys in the West. The two discuss the state of modern dating, the rise of 'the red pill', and if its observations about gender dynamics are accurate or incomplete without a spiritual foundation. They also discuss the decline of marriage, generational divides between Millennials and Gen Z, the challenges of family formation, and why so many young men are checking out altogether.
