Why Society Is Failing Young Men (And What Actually Helps)

In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation, Andy reflects on why so many young people particularly young men are struggling with identity, hope, and the value of life. We explore the roots of youth violence, family breakdown, absent fathers, drugs, boredom, debt, and the loss of purpose in modern society. From post-war cultural shifts to social media, dopamine addiction, and the erosion of community, this discussion doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. Andy also shares his own powerful personal journey growing up feeling unwanted, turning to drink and drugs, encountering faith through an Alpha course, working on a deprived estate in South London, witnessing the devastating impact of youth violence, entering politics, surviving cancer, and ultimately realising that relationships matter more than status, money, or power. This episode asks difficult but necessary questions: Why don’t young men value their own lives? – What happens when fathers disappear from families? – How do drugs, debt, and instant gratification trap people in hopeless cycles? – Are we evolved enough to handle phones, social media, and modern life? – What actually helps people rebuild meaning, responsibility, and self-worth? We also talk about why many young men are turning to voices like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand and Bear Grylls, the search for higher authority, the limits of globalised systems, and the return to community, responsibility, and faith. At the heart of this conversation is a simple but challenging idea: real change starts with honesty, vulnerability, and learning how to truly love one another. Not by pretending life is perfect, but by sharing our weaknesses as well as our strengths. This episode is for anyone who feels lost, disconnected, or concerned about the direction society is heading – and for those who still believe there is reason for hope. The Value of Vulnerability is about real conversations, honest emotions, faith, resilience, and learning how to build deeper relationships in a broken world.
