ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Collars & Calluses is a working theology for young men where grit meets grace and faith meets the work bench, where young men can come to learn how to grow in the strength, wisdom, and courage that God calls them to. In a world confused about manhood, we open God's word and roll up our sleeves. We'll talk theology, that's not just for the classroom, but for the job site, the gym, the family table, and the front lines of life. We are about forging biblical masculinity that works in the real world, for real men, to the glory of God.
