Summary
Is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and boys in culture today? Or, is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times. My guest today, Pastor Douglas Wilson, makes the case that it’s a combination of both and, more accurately, than “modern times,” a result of “wealthy times.” And, if that is the case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children and this world?
Today, Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order in our lives and instilling it in our boys, how exactly men can step up against the lunacy and degeneracy we see in modern culture, why men make inferior women and vice versa, why reality calls for us, as men, to reckon with the dangerous times in which we live, and why masculinity cannot (and, should not) be legislated away.

| 0:00.0 | Men, I got to ask you, is there a clear and deliberate agenda against men and maybe even boys in culture today? |
| 0:08.6 | Or is it simply a byproduct of the relative ease of modern times? |
| 0:14.0 | I've got a great guest for you today. His name is Pastor Douglas Wilson. |
| 0:17.4 | Many of you have read his works, but he makes the case that it's a combination of both |
| 0:22.1 | and more accurately than modern times, the result of quote unquote wealthy times. And if that's the |
| 0:29.5 | case, what should men do for ourselves and for the future of our children in this world? Today, |
| 0:37.0 | Doug and I talk about rebuilding strength and order |
| 0:39.9 | in our lives and instilling it in our boys. How exactly men can step up against the lunacy |
| 0:46.1 | and degeneracy we see in modern culture? Why men make inferior women and vice versa? Why reality |
| 0:54.1 | calls for us as men to reckon with the dangerous times |

| 1:35.4 | weeks with guys who have been listening for nine plus years and guys who have been listening for |
| 1:39.9 | nine plus weeks and regardless of where on that spectrum you fall, we want to welcome you to |
| 1:46.1 | the Order of Man podcast and what we're all about. My goal is to give you all the tools and |
| 1:49.9 | conversations you need to thrive as a man. There's a lot of podcasts out there when I started this thing |
| 1:54.8 | 10 years ago, which is crazy, a decade ago. Some people say like an OG. I think there were other people, maybe Joe Rogan and a dozen other people doing this when I started in 2015. But here we are 10 years later still going strong. |
