Ep 98: The "Toxic Masculinity" Edition – 09.04.18 Ashley, Elijah, and Ryan explore some of the aspects of a very difficult discussion - masculinity. Elijah and Ryan talk about their own personal histories and how they've come to understand their past. While the WTD Crew only scratches the surface, it's a beginning point to think through masculinity as understood in a Western, American, and often times Protestant, culture. And fear not! The Crew doesn't leave out the ladies in this convo since this view of masculinity gets passed on to women as much as men.

It’s a different episode for us in that we didn’t unpack any deep theological terms or try to solve the social ills of the world. We simply sat across the table and listened to a man recall the traumatic events that catapulted him to a national stage and almost cost him his job. ———————————— If you wanna get at us (and we know you do) you got options: Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/wetalkdifferent Email: wetalkdifferentteam@gmail.com Facebook: facebook.com/wetalkdifferent Twitter: twitter.com/wetalkdifferent Instagram: instagram.com/wetalkdifferent/ Website: wetalkdifferent.com You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes, Google Play, SoundCloud, or Stitcher so you'll never miss an episode!
