Morgan Snyder has spent the last few decades seeking to become, in the words of Dallas Willard, the kind of man in whom God can entrust his kingdom.

As a result, he has become a man who walks in immense strength and courage, practicing risk at every turn, and carrying a message that is both powerful and intriguing. Morgan is a passionate husband, father, entrepreneur, teacher, and speaker. He serves on the Wild at Heart executive leadership team and for more than two decades has helped lead sold-out events around the globe alongside John and Stasi Eldredge. He is the author of a new book entitled BECOMING A KING: The Path to Restoring the Heart of a Man. In this conversation, Morgan Snyder and Gabe Jenkins discuss masculinity, risk, and the process of becoming whole-hearted sons in the Kingdom.
