In this eye-opening episode, Man in the Mirror founder, Pat Morley sits down with Brett to unpack startling new research on the state of young men in America in 2026. As the cultural landscape shifts, the data reveals a generation of "Builders" (men aged 20–45) facing a silent crisis of isolation, screen addiction, and a fundamental questioning of what it even means to be a man.

Brett shares highlights from the latest State of Young Men report, revealing statistics that Pat describes as "staggering" and "heartbreaking." They move beyond the numbers to discuss how the church can pivot from "come and be discipled" to "go and make disciples."

In this episode, Ryan Reeves and Jake Corn sit down to diagnose why so much modern preaching leaves men entirely unfed. We break down the crucial difference between "Topical" sermons (cherry-picking verses to fit a pre-determined theme) and "Exegetical" sermons (letting the ancient text dictate the message, even when it's uncomfortable).

Beyond the pulpit, Ryan and Jake catch up on the current "terrain" of real life—navigating the heavy transitions of the spring season and how to build actual, grounded habits for Easter that go beyond wearing a pastel shirt on Sunday morning.

In this episode, Ryan Reeves sits down with Luke Detraz, founder of Field & Faith, to discuss the tectonic shifts facing men in 2026. Luke shares his personal journey from navigating identity wounds to the mission behind his new book, The War for Men.

We dive deep into why so many men today feel "functionally invisible" in their own social circles. Luke argues that rebuilding a man starts from the inside out—addressing the "Generational Ghosts" and the father wounds that often dictate our modern tensions. Whether you are navigating a career transition, family loss, or the weight of isolation, this conversation provides a tactical map for finding your footing again.
