Run 100 Miles, Still Can't Outrun Your Feelings

Send us a text Pastor Andy from Hope Alive Church shares his journey through modern masculinity, revealing how vulnerability and faith shape authentic manhood in ways our grandfathers never experienced. • Contrasting traditional masculinity with modern expectations—from his grandfather"s stoic approach to today"s emphasis on emotional intelligence • Finding purpose beyond wealth and status by focusing on family and faith rather than societal measures of success • Vulnerability as a cornerstone of true masculinity, especially in marriage where openness creates partnership • Breaking generational patterns through therapy and self-awareness to heal from childhood experiences • The importance of quality time in fatherhood—"I believe that time makes a great father" • Building authentic male friendships based on accountability, humor, and shared growth • Navigating complex social expectations while maintaining personal values and faith • How running 100-mile ultramarathons has taught patience and perspective in life"s challenges If anyone hasn"t told you today they love you, let me be the first to say I love you. You"re awesome, you"re amazing. You deserve the best that this world has to offer. Do not give up, do not quit. The world does not get easier, but you will get stronger.
