Mike, this post was very interesting to me. I’m gathering a few men together to talk about how to motivate men to connect in meaningful ways with other men. There is so much “man up” stuff out there in Christian circles and I’m growing a strong distaste for it. I took your Primal Question assessment and read your book, my question: Am I Loved? I’m interested in the connection you’ve made in this post with the info. men are drawn to and your call for discernment based on knowing one’s Primal Question. My links with men often come via our marriage ministry. I looked at your Primal Pro cohort but it just doesn’t quite fit for me, as I don’t have “clients” per se and the cost is prohibitive. Do you offer less expensive training for folks like me (us) who are in supported ministry (non-profit), and not fee based counsel? Thanks again!

so glad it was helpful vic. currently our only certification/training path is through PQ Pro but we’re always looking for new ways to equip people. stay tuned. 👊🏻🙏🏻

Great application of your core message. Thanks for crafting this so effectively. I saved that closing as a helpful description of manhood in our postmodern confusion.

i’m certainly concerned about the environments for young men and their influences. hopefully this will help give some foundations for thinking through what we allow to shape our lives. 🙏🏻

As a leader of a men's ministry, I find this post spot on. I love your question for all media we absorb: "How is their message hitting my Primal Question?"
