“Fighting for Manliness” a HUGE Success!

My talk on New Year’s Eve was a HUGE success! I gave the ‘Men’s Only’ Breakout Sessions on December 31st at the FOCUS National Conference in Orlando, Florida. FOCUS is the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, a college campus ministry outreach organization that radically turned my life around in college. It was an honor and privilege to be asked to speak at this year’s conference. The conference was a five day, action-packed, intense conference with great speakers, great sponsors and incredible celebrations of the Holy Mass. There were around 4,000 college students gathered together to celebrate their faith. The witness of their vibrant faith is energizing and invigorating, I wish you could have seen it!

My talk focused on a few main points: manliness = virtue, manly leadership (imitating Christ), the evils of pornography, the just treatment of women and living manliness. I wanted to be intense and “in your face” with my talk, and from the feedback I received, the men really enjoyed it. I think it would be disrespectful and counterproductive to water down the message to men, so I was intense and in your face.

A video of my talk will be available in the coming weeks, so please check back later.
