Dear Brothers

Dear Brothers is a no-nonsense podcast specifically for men. Men who are tired of struggling with who they are and what God has called them to be. Dr. Jackson Taylor discusses the importance of traditional values for the modern man and how we can break free from our current mediocrity.

These short, devotional style episodes will include topics such as how to maintain your fitness and optimize your nutrition, improving your relationships with women, growing in your faith, handling conflict, building a good network of men, managing time between your family and work, handling adversity and much more.
