Ep 31 Whiskey, Cigars, and Steaks: Let’s Rekindle Some Masculine Stereotypes18 Jun 202500:24:18

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores how traditional masculine rituals - like sharing whiskey, cigars, and a good steak - can be reclaimed as meaningful, spiritual, and relational practices. Rather than glorifying indulgence or rebellion, this conversation highlights how slowing down, gathering with brothers, and embracing intention can sharpen a man’s identity and purpose.

These practices connect to biblical and historical rhythms of wisdom and Sabbath - where stillness, reflection, and presence connect men to God and one another. Whiskey symbolizes patience and maturity, cigars create a sacred space for silence and brotherhood, and preparing steak represents provision, care, and mastery. These are not props for posturing, but reminders of tradition, leadership, and service.

Tune in to rethink what these traditions mean—and how reclaiming them might help you become the man God has called you to be.

Ep 25 The Pursuit of Happiness is the Happiness of Pursuit 07 May 202500:29:58

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the truth behind happiness and why it isn’t something to be achieved but something to be cultivated.

This episode challenges the fallacy of destination happiness and explains how true fulfillment comes from the process of growth, discipline, and pursuit rather than the final outcome. The discussion covers how to break free from the "I’ll be happy when…" mentality, the dangers of tying happiness to external success, and how to shift focus toward finding joy in the journey itself.

Tune in to learn how to reframe your mindset and start finding fulfillment in the process of becoming the man you’re meant to be.

Ep 46 Does the Moderate Still Exist? The Path to Radicalization01 Oct 202500:25:34

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the tension behind a pressing question: Does the moderate still exist, or has modern culture forced every man toward radicalization? From the collapse of nuanced conversation into “us vs. them” buckets to the way social media rewards outrage, Colton reflects on his own struggle to hold convictions without being swept into extremes. Through personal experience and scriptural reflection, he frames the question not as a call to choose a side, but as a challenge to wrestle honestly with what it means to lead as a Christian man in a polarized world.

Listeners will walk away with space to reflect rather than a list of answers. This episode challenges men to ask: Am I reacting to outrage, or am I standing firm in truth? Am I being radicalized by culture, or reshaped by Christ? You may not be able to avoid being labeled “radical,” but you can choose what drives you.

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores why confidence isn’t something men should chase, but something they must build.
