Restoring Authentic Men
Welcome to the Restoring Authentic Men podcast, a space where we explore real life issues men face through a lens of Christian faith with raw honest conversation.
I’m Simon your host who loves to talk about stories that involve digging through the weeds of our issues and coming out being restored and hopeful.
Our prayer is that this podcast will be a great encouragement for all men going through personal struggles and challenges in life, and knowing that you're not alone in this journey.
Most of the material we talk about is suited for mature aged men and not younger ears under 18 years old.
