- Granger Smith Podcast Ep234: Today, we're reacting to videos on a topic that's been on many minds: masculinity. It's fascinating how this concept has evolved over time, and yet remains a subject of much debate and contemplation even in 2024. In this episode, we're continuing our trend of answering your questions, and one that keeps popping up is about the essence of masculinity. What does it mean to be a man? Join us as we dissect the various perspectives and societal expectations surrounding masculinity, from traditional roles of protection and provision to modern-day interpretations of strength and selflessness.
We'll explore how cultural shifts influence our understanding of masculinity and why certain traits are emphasized or suppressed in different eras. From examining historical references like the Titanic's "women and children first" protocol to dissecting contemporary behaviors driven by desires for wealth and power, we'll navigate the complexities of defining masculinity in today's world. So, grab your headphones and tune in as we unravel the layers of masculinity and challenge conventional norms in this thought-provoking discussion.

I really enjoy your podcasts. I'm a widow in my 50s and have 2 older brothers. They're definitely not saved. So please pray for they're salvation, as well as my youngest brother Eric. Thank you Granger
Hi Granger, may the Lord bless you from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! I really loved this episode!
I look forward to this podcast every Monday! Have to admit after watching this for a few minutes, I was lost!
Parker thanks for sharing on this subject and coming on the podcast again
Yee Yee Shirt: “Meek not Weak”
I finished listening to Like a River today. Sent you an email to thank you and tell you why it was so meaningful to me.
Hi Granger, the homosexual warrior is a good example. Muslims make similar statements: There must be a fundament saying "this is right and that is wrong". But then of course the first question that arises is: Which fundament is the real fundament: Every religion will claim its own fundament and for you it's the Bible for others the Koran and for still others it might be the Vedas. And everyone is fully sure, convinced that his fundament, his religion is the right one and that the other is wrong.
The underlying problem here, and the problem underlying all wordly problems is craving, wanting things: Wanting someone to protect us, wanting a fundament, wanting certainty, wanting our life to be this way or that way, wanting or husband/wife or kids to be a certain way, wanting to be society a certain way....I won't even start talking about material craving for things.
If you can see that for yourself, you can only come to one conclusion honestly: If our spiritual attainments are to become genuinely worthwile, we have to leave behind all this wanting, all this craving about "how things should be" behind. And then one can find only one religion that is truly timeless and not based on the morals of the time it was found, like e.g. christianity or islam. A religion that shows us salvation can only come from within ourselves. And that religion is fully in line with the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that says:
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
And to finish with what I started, that closes the case about the homosexual warrior: You or me wanting something to be a certain way will only make us suffering. Craving will always make us suffering. We should not want the homosexual warrior to be this or that way. All that matters is that we are all people and should behave towards each other in a spirit of brotherhood.
I’m a fan of this podcast and this new format. There’s a comment regarding disappointment with no longer doing the emails, but for me I stopped listening because the emails were often not relatable. Usually they were teens with relationship problems or 20 something with career and faith issues as well as relationship problems. As a married late 30s person, I didn’t relate. So thank you for extending your reach and content. As you get older I’m sure you feel issues that you want to talk about and help those closer to you.
That is a really good point
Such a good episode. I enjoyed when you answered questions from the emails but how many times can you answer the same questions. I am encouraged by you and your families wisdom.
Enjoyed this podcast! ❤
So pumped to hear you in Bismarck in a couple weeks 🔥
What’s right & what is right is typically spun to be politically correct. Stand for what’s written 🙏🏻
I just discovered him with a music video collaboration with demo Matt. Love to see him get together with drycrkeek wrangler school Dwyane.
What are your thoughts surrounding the Stronger Men's Conference "entertainment"? Is that what spurred this podcast?
❤
Granger, what can I say to my disabled after 2 back surgeries husband, who wakes up depressed every day because he can no longer do the 12 hour days?

Advertising better help... Therapy today completely ignores the soul and gives "self-help" bs. Talking to people helps, yes, but the idea that they have any productive answer is asinine. You have to come to the end of yourself. You can't help yourself.
First we have to say, what is the whole point to mankind come out where here created in God’s image to glorify him. He told us what we’re supposed to do and he gave us women too help us and if you look at the example of Jesus, you see what it is to be a man to serve mankind and glorify God. The reason we have some authority as ahead of a unit or family or organization, or community is to lead by serving as Jesus did. Jesus told us all what to do, but he didn’t just sit up there and wag his finger and give us a bunch of orders he showed us and he served us, and he sacrificed for us Said example of what we’re supposed to do.
We are supposed to have authority, but modern language is changed the word authority into something bad we’re not supposed to be bossy and controlling and misogynistic, but that’s what people think authority means. Now, do you have authority? Biblically is a role of servitude or you take an organizational component like a family , or a community or even a government and you take your place of authority in that by serving others in that unit. Being a man is serving, not as a slave, but having authority/responsibility and your responsibility to serve.
That doesn’t mean we’re slaves we all have rules. We play in the organizational components of our design. We’re all equipped differently. Women can do some things better than men men can do some things better than women, and we’re supposed to work together and serve each other and the truth is, and it doesn’t apply to every single person, but manner generally better about making things like financial decisions and provisional Decisions and protecting and preserving a lifestyle women make it livable and pleasant and worth all the sacrifice, and we bring together the ability to create children and expand on that and introduce an entire new aspect to all of it, and create a bunch more work raising children isn’t just a party it’s a lot more sacrifice and service we have to do. But to Serve doesn’t mean we are slaves it means doing what’s right because that’s what needs to be done and that is the way to do it. God told us how things work and Jesus set an example, and we can disagree with it all we want, but the truth is, we’re always wrong And those who follow the biblical example or what we call the nuclear family and societies that support that prosper and they’re happy their healthier, happier more productive and life is better and we can take an activist viewpoint saying well I’m not your slave or I’m not just a paycheck But the truth is you’re getting an awesome deal. As much as you have to sacrifice and work and do what God is equipped you to do to provide yourself with the wife and family, you can never get the benefit out of that any other way, and I don’t know what feminist are complaining about have a husband who will go out protect the family work all day to bring home money so she can just live her life and raise her kids, white feminist always say it’s his kids. I have to raise his kids all day I’m a chauffeur, blah blah blah I’m not a slay, blah, blah blah, no, that’s your life that you share with your husband it’s not his life and you’re a slave, and be honest, most of those things are done because the woman wants to do them. The guy doesn’t really need a sign on the wall that says live laugh love, it’s sort of nice once it’s up there but you’re not gonna go spend five bucks on it but if a woman puts that up on the wall then she complains that she hast to dust it once in a while to keep her house clean that she lives in that she would have to clean whether the guy was there or not. Feminism is ridiculous and so is, some of the misogynistic viewpoints of some popular speakers out there that treat women like toys or items. The truth is in a regular marriage the way it was designed everybody benefits. It’s a great mutual agreement, but everybody has to do their part and the man’s part of that is to understand how it works, make sure everybody getting involved is on board and wanting the same thing and then it’s his job to go there and make it happen. Doesn’t mean the wife can’t work if your wife is a doctor and makes $1 million a year that’s fine you don’t have to go out and work but you have to make sure your households provided for you can’t just sit at home and play video games while your wife is out there Waiting tables at waffle house and say that’s OK because you’re not doing your part is your responsibility to make sure your family is safe and provided for God put that responsibility on you so it’s your responsibility and if you’re in a situation where your wife happens to be a doctor or is a great artist or something it makes a lot of money and that’s awesome but it’s still your responsibility as a man she can make the money but she decides to stop or can’t or gets an accident or something you’re the one that needs to go out there and get the crappy job if that’s all you’re equipped to do And your responsibility is to make sure that you’re capable and equipped and able to support a family and until you are, you shouldn’t be getting married and starting a family or shocking out with somebody you should be going to school or working on some skills and putting some time in at a job to get the experience to where you’re marketable and can support yourself and your family then Someone will want to marry you because you’re worth marrying. And same with women they have responsibilities in a relationship. Also men having some authority in their relationship doesn’t mean that they’re completely in charge or that they’re the only ones who have to do anything or that they get to just boss you around and tell you what to do, everybody plays the role and we all serve different functions within that family unit or group unit, and we all have a responsibility, men just have the responsibility as the head of that group or unit. A woman could replace a man, but it’s not the way we’re designed or society really works generally, but it can work if a woman’s a doctor and the guy wants to clean the house And take the kids to school and be there during the day and make the home pleasant place the person out there busting their butt all day at work, that’s awesome if it works but it’s still the man’s responsibility to make sure that household is taken care of, and if his wife quits or gets fired or whatever it’s his responsibility to make sure those bills get paid and everybody’s protected and provided for and God put that responsibility on you if your wife wants to go to work and pay the bills and can and that works for your family that awesome but make no mistake. God holds you accountable when your family is not taken care of You you responsible. You took the first bite of the apple, but God held Adam responsible for letting her because it was his responsibility and duty to tell her no she can’t and I know a lot of feminist are gonna be triggered by that but it is what it is they’re not triggered when Adam gets in trouble for it and blame for everything when in fact, it was Eve who took the first bite, but I’m not blaming her like she did it and I’m just got in trouble for it. He was part of it he allowed it to happen. He sat there and listened to the serpent lying as well and he should’ve stopped that and put it into it and said no we’re not allowed to eat from this tree and stop listening to this snake Snake became armed to his family should’ve smashed his head but he didn’t live up to his responsibility and here we are few thousand years later still paying the price lol. And we talk about these things and laugh but that’s accurate. It was Adam who had the responsibility no Eve bit the apple Adam should’ve said no we’re not gonna do this, and tried to stop her and intervened, and protected her from being deceived by the serpent, because that was his responsibility. He should’ve served his family better and put it into it and gotten rid of the serpent and uses authority to say no you can’t eat from this tree because that authority came from God. That’s the way it structured that’s what authority means it doesn’t mean you’re the boss and everybody else is your slave and has to do what you want means you’re responsible to make sure what needs to be done gets done, and if you can delegate and have other people help you with that within the family unit or community or whatever you’re leading that’s cool and that’s efficient and can keep everybody happy but it’s your responsibility and make sure it gets done because authority isn’t about bossing people around. It’s about being the person who has the responsibility for certain things, and being tasked with making those decisions.
To be a man is to be like Jesus
Always been a fan of the pod, not a fan of how this Format has been recently.I think it's better when you read the emails that people send you and not do tic tok reactions...kind of a let down.
I miss the emails too, but I think this format's good. Might be better to swap between the two every episode or something
@@Joemamabinladenyes i think changes are good. a little Biased since im not a fan of tic tok but not going to stop supporting the pod 👏
He might be trying to expand his audience..I’m sure at some point he’ll do emails again..Can’t knock him for trying new things making content and music is how he makes a living..
@@Kayluv101if you read thats not what im doing lady 😂 god bless
@@jadenisonger561 Fuck bro he read our comments on his new video 😂😂😂 Didn’t realize how dumb what I said was until I heard him trying to read it😂😂😂 Fuck! 🤦🏻♂️
There is a huge upswing in culture today of young woman saying I don't need a man. Most of this attitude stems from being hurt. I think our society puts alot of pressure on young men. If a young man does not have a good role model he will be unsure of how to be a man.
I know a few people that exhibit juvenile masculinity. haha
Id love it if you were on joe rogan pod.. I can tell you guys would click
First comment hey Granger
