Frank Schaeffer & Warren Farrell | Masculinity, Fatherhood, & The Crisis of Meaning

In this episode, I'm joined by Frank Schaeffer and Warren Farrell for a deep, unflinching conversation about masculinity, fatherhood, and the growing crisis facing boys and men in modern society. Frank and Warren help me unpack how anger often masks vulnerability, how fatherlessness reshapes culture, and why political polarization is inseparable from unresolved emotional and relational wounds. We talk about masculinity beyond ideology — exploring failure, forgiveness, empathy, parenting, and the search for meaning in a time when old models no longer work and new ones haven't fully emerged. 👤 GUEST BIOS Frank Schaeffer is an author, filmmaker, and cultural commentator whose work explores religion, politics, masculinity, and moral reckoning. The son of evangelical theologian Francis Schaeffer, Frank later became a prominent critic of the religious right and has written candidly about ideology, failure, forgiveness, and grace. His books include "Crazy for God," "Why I Am an Atheist Who Believes in God," and "Portofino." 🔗 https://frankschaeffer.com 🔗 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Schaeffer Dr. Warren Farrell is a psychologist, author, and one of the most influential voices on men's and boys' issues.
