The Family Room (The Quest)

Bear Woznick, EWTN host, world-champion surfer, certified Ninja black belt

Many men today find it difficult to pinpoint what being a father means. Nobody gave them an instruction manual when they were young, so their definitions are all over the map. Bear Woznick beautifully ties together both Biblical virtues and common-sense guideposts to help men navigate the choppy waters of manhood in his book, 12 Rules for Manliness. With Bear’s classic masculine spirituality, today he calls out fathers as the point of the spear in our culture today.

Challenging men to find the breach our culture’s walls, Bear makes no bones about the need for men to step into the breach, even when it’s difficult. As Bear says, “The breaches in our walls go right through our family room.” Listen up as he explains why men need to be dangerous again - not by being opinionated, but by becoming the light on the hill to lead their families and communities to safety.

Bear Woznick is a world-champion surfer, certified ninja black belt, and sought-after speaker. He is the host of EWTN’s The Bear Woznick Adventure and a motorcycle-based, immersive reality-show series called Long Road Home.

A Benedictine oblate, Bear is the author of several books and, along with his wife, Cindy, navigate “Spirit of Adventure Ministries” where men can join Bear in his Man Cave and learn more about his “School of Manliness” which is a 3-year course for fathers and sons. Wives can join Cindy in her Momma Bears’ hangout.
