What does maturity actually look like for men and women today, and why does trust feel harder than ever?

In this episode, we sit down with Karson Acton and Nathan Yake for an honest conversation about modern relationships, masculinity, and personal responsibility. We begin with Christina breaking down common Christmas myths, separating cultural tradition from historical reality.

From there, the discussion moves into how men’s and women’s interests change as they age, and why so many men struggle with direction, discipline, and follow-through in modern culture. Karson, Nathan, and Caleb speak directly to men about purpose, responsibility, and becoming someone others can rely on.

Christina then offers thoughtful insight for women, covering trust in marriage, emotional maturity, and how encouragement and belief can play a role in helping a partner grow.

We finish by addressing a big question many people feel but rarely say out loud: Why do men seem unreliable to women today, and how can trust, when given wisely, lead to growth rather than disappointment?
