“Men, do not hesitate to engage in the battle that is raging around you, the battle that is wounding our children and families, the battle that is distorting the dignity of both women and men. This battle is often hidden, but the battle is real. It is primarily spiritual, but it is progressively killing the remaining Christian ethos in our society and culture, and even in our own homes." “Into the Breach,” Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix, Arizona
2019 Men's Conference - NYC
