In todayâs culture, many men donât know what it means to be a man. The journey to Manhood is often fraught with confusion, isolation, and seemingly insurmountable challenges,
Introducing Don Ross, Founder of Manhood Tribes
Don Ross emerges as a guiding force, seeking to redefine and revive the essence of authentic masculinity. As the founder of Manhood Tribes, Don is on a mission to address the struggles faced by men today and offer a pathway towards meaningful connections, personal growth, and a rediscovery of the timeless virtues that define true manhood.
Manhood Tribes was born out of the recognition that many men grapple with the complexities of modern masculinity, from societal expectations to personal battles with addiction and despair. Don, fueled by a passion for fostering genuine connections among men, established this platform to bring them together in Tribes, acknowledging the innate need for camaraderie and support.
The core philosophy of Manhood Tribes revolves around the belief that men are not designed to navigate life in isolation. Instead, they are meant to thrive in groups, or Tribes, which serve as a source of strength, encouragement, and shared experience. The initiative kicks off with a transformative father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe, with more diverse experiences planned for the future.
Regardless of one's stage in life, Manhood Tribes promises to have something to offer. The experience focuses on three key pillarsâManhood, Camaraderie, and Freedomâeach designed to facilitate growth in specific areas of a man's life.
Under the banner of Manhood, participants gain a clear understanding of healthy masculinity and learn how to evolve as men. Camaraderie is fostered through adventure, challenge, and meaningful discussions, leading to the formation of significant friendships. Freedom, the third pillar, embodies the collective fight for healing and restoration, with a spiritual dimension rooted in the transformative power of Jesus.
A cornerstone of Manhood Tribes is the embrace of the "5 Marks of Manhood," which aims to simplify the understanding of what it means to be a man in today's complex world. These five fundamental traitsâStrength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegianceâserve as guiding principles for men on their journey towards a fulfilled and purposeful life.
As we embark on an insightful conversation with Don Ross on the Manlihood ManCast, we delve deeper into the vision, values, and transformative experiences that define Manhood Tribes, inspiring men to navigate the challenges of life with resilience, authenticity, and a renewed sense of purpose.

In this episode of MANLY CHUNKS OF WISDOM weâll take a look at some of the amazing wisdom of Dostoevsky, quotes pulled from his novels âThe Brothers Karamazovâ and âCrime and Punishment amongst others.
If you like these Chunks of wisdom, download our free ebook 500 Chunks of Manly Wisdom: http://manlihood.com/chunks
Quotes from Fyodor DostoevskyâAbove all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
âPain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
âTo go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
âI say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
âMan only likes to count his troubles; he doesn't calculate his happiness.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead
âPeople speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.â â Fyodor Dostoyevsky
âThe mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.â â Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
âBut how could you live and have no story to tell?â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights
âTaking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
âThe world says: "You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more." This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.â â Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
âMuch unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky
âNothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.â â Fyodor Dostoevsky

In the heart of the maelstrom that was World War I, amidst the chaos of battlefields and the deafening roars of machine guns, a most unexpected hero emergedâan unassuming man named Alvin York. York's journey was not one of conventional heroism; rather, it was a saga of unwavering courage, unyielding faith, and a relentless commitment to a higher calling.
Testicular Fortitude is presented by Haines Knives - http://hainesknives.com/manlihood
Enter to win an EDC by Haines Knives here: http:manlihood.com/contests
York has been called âThe Deadliest Pacifist in US History.â After he single-handedly captured 132 enemy soldiers, they asked him how he did it. He said, "I surrounded them." Alvin Yorkâs testicular fortitude was in his strategic brilliance that completely went against all of the conventional norms of warfare.
He was born in a log cabin near the Tennessee-Kentucky border in 1887, grew up in a family sustained by subsistence farming and hunting. In 1915, he had an experience with God, and became a devout Christian As World War I engulfed the world, York, now a man of profound faith, sought conscientious objector status upon being drafted. That pacifist position was challenged though, when he encountered Luke 22:36 "He who hath no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one." Guided by those words from Jesus, York abandoned his initial stance and enlisted in the U.S. Army's 82nd Infantry Division.
The crucible of York's heroism unfolded on October 8, 1918, during the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the final Allied push against German forces. Tasked with seizing German-held positions, York's battalion was under fire - a German machine-gun nest rained bullets upon them. As chaos ensued and the unit's numbers dwindled, York was thrust to the forefront, commanding a squad of merely 17 men.
Undeterred by the odds, York, feeling a divine calling, advanced alone against the machine-gun position. Drawing upon his sharpshooting skills cultivated during Tennessee Turkey hunting days, he systematically neutralized the enemy. The undergrowth around him ablaze with gunfire, York's determination and marksmanship cut through the chaos,with lethal precision.
Ammo was running short. Six Germans charged him with bayonettes, and with only seven shots, he took out all six. As he approached the German commanding officer, the tide of the battle irreversibly turned. Faced with the inevitable, the officer surrendered his entire unit, a total of 132 men, in exchange for his life.
York's story reverberated far beyond the battlefield. Lauded as "the war's biggest hero" by The New York Times and hailed by General John J. Pershing as "the greatest civilian soldier" of World War I, York returned home to a hero's welcome. He leveraged his fame to found a school for underprivileged children, the York Industrial Institute.
In 1941, Hollywood immortalized his bravery in the movie "Sergeant York," starring Gary Cooper.
When York died in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson eulogized him as "a symbol of American courage and sacrifice," embodying "the gallantry of American fighting men and their sacrifices on behalf of freedom."
Alvin York, A humble man propelled by faith and armed with unyielding determination, became a symbol of courage, defying expectations and inspiring generations.
His name echoes as a testament to the enduring power of faith, courage, and commitment on the battlefield. Alvin York - a soldier with true Testicular Fortitude.

Why is it so hard to be a man in today's society?

We're always wandering off - mentally, emotionally, spiritually - losing our faith focus, forgetting our promises, getting tempted away... coveting, lusting, fearing, doubting...taking control of situations we have no businesses being in control of or walking away from things God has given us responsibility to oversee, going places we should not, and leaving places - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically - where we should stay. So - How do we stay?

In today's society, the concept of privilege has become a buzzword. We often hear about male privilege and the advantages that come with it. However, I believe there is a bigger picture that we need to consider. Instead of focusing solely on privilege, we should shift our perspective to the heart of the matter and explore how responsibility can make a real difference in someone's life. In this blog post, we will delve deeper into this topic and discuss why responsibility is a heavier weight than privilege.
JOIN US FOR AN EVENING WITH MACHINE GUN PREACHER - SAM CHILDERSDECEMBER 16th 2023 at 7PM AT OPEN ARMS CHURCH 1289 EAST MAIN STREET, BRADFORD PA
Responsibility Over Privilege:
The notion of privilege has taken on different connotations over the years. It can now be associated with the idea of being handed everything on a silver platter. However, as a man, I believe that manhood is not about privilege but about shouldering responsibility. To be a man is to understand that being stronger physically or having a unique way of thinking comes with the responsibility to care for and support those around us.
Leadership and Service:
One aspect of manhood that aligns with responsibility is leadership. While both men and women can be leaders, for men, it often means taking on the role of leadership in the home. However, it is essential to differentiate true leadership from lordship. True leadership is about serving others and making decisions that benefit those under our care. It is not about demanding obedience or seeking personal privilege but rather guiding and honoring those around us.
Doing the Right Thing:
Another aspect of responsibility is doing the right thing, even when it may be challenging or require sacrificing personal gain. We must strive for morality and set an example for others by upholding ethical values. As men, it is our responsibility to strive for what is right and to ensure that our actions align with our principles. By doing so, we create a positive influence on those around us.
Shifting Perspectives: Earned vs. Deserved:
A crucial shift in mindset is moving away from a sense of entitlement and recognizing that we do not inherently deserve anything. Instead, we should focus on earning the things we receive and being grateful for the blessings that come our way. It's about understanding that responsibility brings more fulfillment than privilege ever could. By working hard and earning what we have, we cultivate gratitude and appreciation for life's blessings.
Conclusion:
Responsibility is a weight that we should willingly carry as men. It surpasses the fleeting nature of privilege and grounds us in our purpose. By embracing responsibility, we not only make a difference in our own lives but also in the lives of those around us. Let us shift our focus from privilege to responsibility and strive to be men who lead through service, do the right thing, and live with gratitude. Together, we can create a better world by recognizing that responsibility is a heavier weight than privilege.
Thank you for reading, and I invite you to join the discussion in the Manlihood Man Cave group on Facebook. Share your thoughts on this topic and let's continue the conversation.
I love you and I'm proud of you.
