Jared chops it up with Ray Ortlund, president of Renewal Ministries, to talk about what real masculinity looks like in a world flooded with porn and fake strength. They dig into Ray’s books The Death of Porn and Good News at Rock Bottom, hitting on how Jesus-shaped manhood isn’t about ego—it’s about honesty, freedom, and brotherhood. If you’re tired of surface-level faith and want to step into something deeper, this episode brings heat. Ray challenges guys to rise up as men of courage, integrity, and gospel-driven strength.
