Ep.57 What Does Healthy Masculinity Look Like? with Paul Ho
Description
In this 57th episode of Faith & Feels, I sit down with Paul Ho from El Pozo de Vida, an anti-human trafficking organization in Mexico, for an honest conversation about what healthy masculinity looks like through the lens of faith.
Together, we explore how our identity as sons of God shapes the way men lead, love, and live. Paul shares his personal journey of healing, the impact of his relationship with his father, and how embracing vulnerability and emotional honesty became part of his transformation. We also discuss the difference between healthy and toxic masculinity, the importance of mentorship and community, and why Jesus is the ultimate model of strength, humility, and compassion.
Whether you're a man pursuing personal growth, someone who loves and supports the men in your life, or you're simply curious about what biblical masculinity really looks like, I hope this conversation encourages you to embrace your identity in Christ and reminds you that true strength is found in humility, authenticity, and grace.
