I interviewed Thomas Finn, who runs the podcasts, Jeg skal lige forstå ( @Jegskalligeforstå ) on Masculinity Danish and Ild i Hjertet ( @Ildihjertetpodcast ) focused on bringing fire and heart to relationships. When I contacted him, I had no idea that his life was so similar to mine, and especially that he had also converted to Christianity. So while there are certainly many differences between Thomas and I, not least in our approach to Christianity, I appreciated this as a great conversation and Thomas and I will certainly be talking again. Thomas and Maniphesto discussed various topics related to masculinity, fatherhood, and the impact of traditional values on society. They also expressed their concerns about the promotion of 'toxic masculinity', the subversion of Western society, and the negative effects of black-and-white thinking. Lastly, they discussed the paradox of modern society's pursuit of material comfort and its impact on overall well-being, the importance of maintaining a natural lifestyle, and the weakening of masculinity.
