  <description>&lt;p&gt;Ty and David share their conversion stories and other stories about how forming a Christ-centered friendship has taught them the value of vulnerability and helped them to mature as followers of Jesus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://wildatheart.org/books/wild-at-heart" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Wild at Heart by John Eldredge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Every man longs for a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue.
In the heart of every man is a yearning—to be powerful, brave, and free. But over time, life’s responsibilities and wounds dim that fire. In this updated edition of his bestselling book Wild at Heart, John Eldredge invites men to rediscover their masculine soul and step into the adventure God created them for.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://v2ministries.org/" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Camp Virtus et Veritas (V2)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Virtus et Veritas (V2) Ministries cultivates authentic encounters with God &amp;amp; fellow man through adventure experiences and formation in virtue &amp;amp; truth to develop Christ-like leaders.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TIMESTAMPS&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;0:00 Introduction and how Ty and David each came to St. Wenceslaus&lt;br&gt;
3:15 Masculine friendship and the difference between shallow friendships based on surface level topics and deep friendships based on vulnerability&lt;br&gt;
12:13 Ty's conversion story of falling away from faith in high school and coming back to God through an encounter with his dad and the song &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djrY_eFDOwE" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;_Good Good Father&lt;/a&gt;_&lt;br&gt;
16:11 David' conversion story at Camp V2 and hearing the words, "do not be afraid" spoken directly to him during adoration&lt;br&gt;
20:52 Sustaining faith beyond the "high point" experiences through Christ-centered friendships and participation in daily Mass&lt;br&gt;
25:51 Closing prayer &lt;/p&gt;
