In this powerful episode of the Raw Faith Podcast, host Marlyn sits down with Ishmael, founder of Fatherhood Connection, to discuss what biblical masculinity looks like in today's world. Together they unpack identity, integrity, fatherhood, emotional healing, vulnerability, and why so many men struggle with performance, shame, and knowing who they truly are in Christ.
