Nicholas Simmons is a dedicated husband and father, a Catholic convert from atheism, and a devoted follower of the Blessed Mother. He aspires to emulate Our Lord and Saint Joseph in all aspects of his life. Passionate about helping men discover their masculine identity in Christ, Nicholas actively advocates for fraternal-based men's ministries and supports others in their spiritual journeys. In this episode, Justin and Nicholas Simmons discuss: * The importance of men being strong, loving, and wise fathers, husbands, and leaders * Embracing the cross, being uncomfortable, and serving others like Jesus did * Seeing the goodness in our fathers despite their flaws and struggles * Fostering intimacy, loyalty, and fraternity among men under God * Overcoming challenges in marriage through service, care, and allowing children to walk alongside them Key Takeaways: * Men should find good fatherly examples and strive to be like God the Father, even if they lack a strong earthly father. * To love and understand our fathers, we must seek guidance from God the Father and see them through His eyes. * Men need dedicated time together to openly share their successes and failures without judgment and support each other through life's challenges. * Overcoming struggles in marriage requires serving, caring, and allowing children to walk alongside them, even in the face of mistreatment. * Men need both virtue and vulnerability to heal and lead each other to God. "As men, it's crucial to be sincere and vulnerable when connecting with younger men and women, as it has a powerful impact on their lives.” — Nicholas Simmons Connect with Nicholas Simmons through Justin.
