Why are young men returning to faith in record numbers? In this powerful conversation with Dr. George Weigel, we uncover the surprising reasons behind this growing movement. From the dark pull of internet isolation to the magnetic draw of traditional liturgy, beauty, and real brotherhood, we explore the challenges—and the hope—facing a new generation. What if the loneliness epidemic could be cured not with content, but with community? What if the secret to evangelization isn’t strategy, but presence?
Packed with insights on reaching men through beauty, liturgy, and one-on-one time, this episode offers a blueprint for building a faith that speaks to modern masculinity. You’ll hear stories of parish renewal, movements that are working, and why real friendships rooted in Christ are changing lives. Whether you're a leader, a father, or just someone who cares, this is a call to invite young men into the light.
