Inspired by the Apostolic Exhortation for Catholic men written by Bishop Olmsted of Phoenix, the Knights of Columbus produced a 12-Part video series that seeks to answer the question of what it means to be a man and how to live as a man in today's world.
Each episode focuses on a different aspect of authentic Catholic masculinity and features interviews with well-known Catholic commentators, as well as the personal story of a man who has deeply experienced the episode’s topic in his own life. Each episode runs approximately 12 minutes
