Masculinity, Faith, and the Middle Ground

In this episode of It’s Okay, Man, I sit down with Matt Naismith, host of The Sowers Podcast, to explore masculinity through the lens of faith, leadership, and family.

Matt shares his definition of masculinity as “servant leadership” — a concept rooted in humility, responsibility, and love. Together, we unpack how this idea connects to modern fatherhood, faith, and the evolving expectations of men in today’s world.

From the dangers of apathy to the quiet strength found in emotional presence, we explore what it really means to lead — not through dominance, but through service. Matt also speaks candidly about balancing masculine and feminine energies, apologizing to his children, and finding freedom in faith and authenticity.

If you’ve ever wrestled with how to be both strong and kind, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate perspective on modern masculinity — one that invites reflection, humility, and hope.
