Men are created to do hard things – to get our hands dirty, to sweat, to suffer, and to overcome. And while the natural masculine instinct is there, it must be kindled and cared for – it must be initiated – before it bears fruit. While modern society shakes an angry fist at the virtues of masculinity, a generation of men struggle to find a path forward. As men with an appreciation of the value of industry, we now raise our sons in a culture that despises masculinity, heterosexuality and the family. Telling stories of the great men who came before us is one way that we can fan the flame of masculinity in the generations to come.
