Masculine Relationships with Fr. Joseph Gleason

On this episode of As Iron Sharpens Iron, Paul Lloyd Robson interviews Fr. Joseph Gleason, "The American Orthodox Priest who moved to Russia". This is the third installment in our focus on relationships and Paul uses the interview as an opportunity to get in behind the politics and delve into the values on which we base our understanding of manhood in relation to others and society. Topics covered include:

- The false dichotomy between the macho dominant man and the pushover weakling
- Pornography - selfish desire as a barrier to human connection
- Marriage as a picture of Christ and the Church
- How pornography and homosexuality are the same type of perversion of God's gifts
- The path to mature masculinity requires travelling alongside other mature, godly men
- The false dichotomy between judging others and accepting everything
- Sins of ignorance and sins of presumption, and Paul's personal example regarding abortion
- King David and his example of sin and repentance
- How society deals justice towards unintentional sin
- How the word "Patriarchy" sums up 2000 years of wisdom about how to be a man
- Why hierarchy is better than equality
- Lastly, a practical approach for men to look after your woman and "stomp on the head of the snake"
