In this episode, Peter Ostapko shares how God called him out of banking and into a creative, countercultural ministry: Kinsman Journal. Built around the themes of faith, fatherhood, and work, the journal combines original photography, timeless essays, and deep storytelling to speak to the heart of Christian men. Peter also explains how Kinsman has grown beyond print into live gatherings like Kinsman Table, where excellence, hospitality, and intentionality create space for men to connect and grow- through presence. Listen in to hear more about deeper brotherhood, renewed purpose, or a new way to engage with the men in your life. What You’ll Learn: How a vision for “faith, fatherhood, and work” sparked a national movement Why the Kinsman Journal focuses on everyday men’s stories, not celebrity voices How beauty and excellence open doors for discipleship Why men need more than sermons—they need community and challenge The difference between programming and presence in men’s ministry How local gatherings and generosity can reshape modern masculinity Episode Resources: 1.
