Description
Welcome to the Defiance and Obedience Podcast (formerly The Contraratics). We are seeking to build strong men in the home AND public square. Each episode packs another dose of constructive contrarianism, curious musings and fatherhood direction. We realize that fathers and husbands need to lead in their home before they can be anyone of repute outside the home, starting with ourselves. Follow along.
