On February 7, 2026, Fr. Matthew Howell speaks at the Brotherhood of St. Stephen men’s fellowship gathering at Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church in Anchorage, Alaska. He frames the discussion in terms of the purpose of life, to draw near to God and dwell in union with Him. He then discusses five different necessary qualities of manhood: virtuous, humble, respectful, disciplined, and vulnerable. He ends with a question and answer session.
