Foxhole Symphony is a podcast about the transformational value of men in authentic Christian community. The world has taught men that authentic equals weak. We have been trained since young ages to stuff it, hide it and fake it 'till we make it with messages like ‘big boys don’t cry’, ‘put on a stiff upper lip’, and ‘never let ‘em see you sweat’. Stop believing the lie that you can thrive in isolation and instead, join us on the journey from broken to whole.
