COMMUNITY
Our Patreon originally launched in 2016 with a handful of folks pledging to cover site and equipment costs, and this effort has since grown into a thriving community, meeting virtually and in person! We’re grateful for the ongoing support as our patrons fuel the continuing growth of both our content and our community. We’d be honored to have you join the fold, too; there’s always room for one more in our nest.

Provide questions or comments for upcoming podcasts and contribute to group discussions with fellow patrons.
Opportunity to attend yearly in-person camp retreats and occasional virtual retreats with fellow patrons.

We take the first part of our time together to check in with one another, along with meeting any new patrons, before diving into a deeper discussion topic for the rest of our call. These topics generally follow our most recent podcast episode.
Calls are available to 18+ males with a traditional sexual ethic. Join us for any/all of our time together!
