What is a man actually for at home — past "protect and provide"?

Brian Brown is joined by Sarah Howell, Jeremiah England, and Matthew Clark to build a theology of domestic masculinity anchored in St. Joseph, the only man in Scripture who never speaks and whose entire vocation is guardianship of an ordinary household. Using Julie Canlis's four movements of Christ's re-creation (Born, Baptized, Crucified, Ascended) and Dante's Cacciaguida — who remembers, commissions, and blesses his descendant in the Paradiso — this episode names two failure modes (the controlling tyrant and the checked-out buddy-dad) and finds a third way rooted in self-gift rather than dominance or absence. Part two of a two-part conversation on the theology of the ordinary, from the Anselm Society's Imagination Redeemed podcast.
