215: Reclaiming one's God-given Identity: Trevor D.

In this episode of Patriarchy Principles, Jey Young engages in a deep conversation with Trevor, an author and mentor, about the challenges of modern Christianity and the importance of reclaiming one's God-given identity. Trevor shares his journey of faith, the distortions within religious systems, and the need for a powerful relationship with God rather than adherence to institutionalized religion. The discussion emphasizes the significance of understanding true masculinity, the empowerment that comes from faith, and the necessity of breaking free from fear, guilt, and shame. Trevor encourages men to embrace their identity as sons of God and to live boldly in their purpose.
