In this episode of We Take the Stairs, the hosts explore why so many men, especially young men, are returning to the church in growing numbers. The conversation begins with a simple but personal question. What has church meant to each of you? From peace and grounding to structure and community, each host shares reflections that set the tone for the episode.

The group discusses the impact of the pandemic, rising isolation, and the overload of confusing messages in media. They talk about why many men are craving clear moral direction, accountability, and spaces where they can be honest without performing. The conversation touches on past church hurt, shifting gender roles, and how modern church communities are becoming more Christ centered and less personality driven.

Throughout the episode, the hosts highlight leadership, fellowship, fatherhood, mentorship, and emotional honesty. There are personal testimonies about depression, addiction, surrender, and how faith has brought healing and clarity. They also reflect on Gen Z men searching for identity and meaning in a noisy world.

The episode closes with a shared reminder that church is not a building. Church is wherever two or three gather with the Word at the center.
