Orthodox Priest on the True Calling of Men - Father Michael

What happens when an Orthodox priest, bodybuilder, and men’s coach sits down to unpack 30 years of confessions, spiritual wisdom, and masculine transformation? In this episode, I sit down with Father Michael, a man who has heard thousands of confessions and spent decades helping men step into wholeness, purpose, and true spiritual maturity. From bodybuilding at 53 to recovering from a life-altering panic attack at 49, Fr. Mike shares his raw journey—and the deep truths he’s uncovered from walking with countless others through theirs.
