In this powerful episode of We Take the Stairs, the hosts explore why so many men, especially young men, are returning to the church in record numbers. The conversation begins with a personal question. What has church meant to each of you? From peace and grounding to structure and community, everyone shares a story that sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

The group talks about the impact of the pandemic, the rise of isolation, the flood of confusing messages in media, and how many men are craving clear moral direction and a place where they can breathe and be honest. They reflect on past church hurt, shifting gender roles, cultural changes, and how accountability has made modern church spaces more open, humble, and focused on Christ rather than personality or performance.

The episode highlights structure, leadership, fellowship, fatherhood, mentorship, emotional honesty, and the hunger men have for real truth in a world full of noise.
There are personal testimonies about depression, addiction, surrender, and how finding faith brought healing.
There are reflections on Gen Z men searching for identity and meaning.
And there is a shared understanding that church is not a building. Church is wherever two or three gather with the living Word at the center.
