Why are so many men feeling isolated, disconnected, and stuck?
In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with Mark Warren to talk about the growing crisis facing men today—and the biblical solution most are missing.
Drawing from Power of Four, Mark explains why Jesus didn’t build large groups—He built deep relationships. And in a world dominated by social media, independence, and surface-level connection, that model matters more than ever.
This conversation tackles the hard truths: Why male loneliness is rising How culture has reshaped masculinity The danger of isolation and hidden struggles Why accountability is essential for spiritual growth How a small circle of trusted men can change everything
If you’ve ever felt alone in your faith, struggled silently, or wondered what real brotherhood looks like—this episode will challenge and encourage you.
