Finding Your Purpose - Fr. Michael Butler

In this powerful talk, Fr. Michael Butler speaks directly to men about the search for meaning, responsibility, and spiritual direction in a world that constantly pulls us toward distraction. Drawing from Scripture, the parable of the talents, and his own pastoral experience, Fr. Michael challenges us to move beyond selfish preoccupations, embrace responsibility, and discover a transcendent purpose grounded in Christ.

Whether you are a young man struggling to find your path, or an older man seeking to reclaim the purpose you’ve lost, this message calls you to stand up, build on the foundation of Christ, and live a life that adds value to others and to the world.

🔥 Men are in crisis because they don’t know who they are or what they were created for. It’s time to rediscover your calling.

Topics Covered in this Talk:
Why loving God and neighbor is the foundation of purpose
The difference between boys and men: producing vs. consuming
How potential, responsibility, and discipline shape a man’s future
God’s will and how to discern it in everyday life
The role of sacrifice, work, and service in becoming the man God created you to be

About us: The St. Paisios Brotherhood is an Orthodox Christian fellowship for men, founded and led by clergy, it intentionally cultivates authentic Godly masculinity through disciplined living, mutual accountability, and mentorship. Its mission is to help members grow as fathers, husbands, providers, and leaders by committing to daily prayer, Scripture and patristic reading, sacramental participation, and fasting. Through structured programs—such as online boot camps, sexual integrity courses, monthly meetings, battle teams, and local chapters—the Brotherhood seeks to counter contemporary distortions of masculinity, foster spiritual brotherhood, and empower men to support each other in virtue, service, and spiritual growth
