Most Christian men don’t fall apart because they’re weak. They fall apart because they’re alone.

In this conversation with Larry Hagner (founder of The Dad Edge), we unpack a hard truth: when life hits—marriage issues, faith struggles, stress, disconnection—most men don’t have the brotherhood they need to handle it.

Larry shares how his own life was headed toward divorce and dysfunction, and what changed everything wasn’t more effort. It was getting around other men who challenged him and showed him a better way.

But beneath that story is a deeper issue most men ignore: isolation.

This episode exposes why that’s so dangerous—and what it actually takes to change it.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why men wait until crisis hits before asking for help
- How isolation leads to breakdown in marriage and family
- The hidden loneliness—even among successful men and leaders
- Why most men lack the skills to lead (and where that gap comes from)
- What real brotherhood looks like—and how it changes everything
