The Millennial Man Podcast: Recent Episodes
Adrian D Young
The Adrian Young Podcast is hosted by the Author of the book: Millennial Man (now available through pre-order). Every week, through solo commentary or interviews, Adrian pulls back the curtain on the dynamic challenges affecting our modern men. He seeks to help, the so-called 'Millennial Man' of today, whether they are 16 or 60 to become more equipped and effective at being real 21st century men. In these modern times of pivotal growth and change, Adrian believes that a new breed of men must arise to re-shape the narrative and reject the plight of both, toxic masculinity and toxic femininity. NB. The show embraces a Christian world view and advocates for biblical: Family, Parenting, Marriage and Economic principles. Our primary belief is that the core of society's problems stem from broken homes and poor family values.
A discussion with my guest Derik, recapping all the six (6) building blocks for success for men in 2022: Discipline, integrity, focus, submission, staying-power, and loyalty. Also deep dive into Derick's personal life experience with establishing these in his life as a 22-years-old.
As plants and seeds are dependent upon a natural order to grow so do men. For plants, it is: soil, sun, and water as for men it is the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18
As a result of great fatherlessness for the past few decades, men these days are have lacked the so-called sixth sense of 'loyalty'. They have not understood the importance of submission and commitment to a higher authority enough to reap the benefits of those relationships. Unfortunately, this spills over into family life and every other aspect of life.

To be honest with you, I have recognized that over a very short period of time that who I am is who I was intended to be and who I was intended to be, nobody knows that except my creator. And so as a Christian, I believe that as God created us in His image, in order for me to find out who I am, I have to first find out who He is. And so when we begin to have the manhood discussion from that perspective, it now comes down to a practical discussion where we now can also talk about equality.

I mean, it's very clear and very obvious that over the many decades and centuries men have led societies into Wars, men have led and caused the abuse of women to become mainstream. It is men who have led slavery and so many more human atrocities across the world...
