The River Runs Deep: A Talk on Men, Mental Health, and Healing

Prosaic Justice by Felecia Marshall and Paul Rankin

Episode notes

In this powerful episode of Prosaic Justice, we sit down with Brandon Henry, licensed therapist, owner of Red River Counseling, and co-facilitator of our Just Men Gathering retreat, to explore what true strength really means for men who have carried deep pain in silence.

From the pressures of masculinity to the hidden weight of grief, Brandon invites us into an honest conversation about emotional resilience, brotherhood, and the sacred work of healing. Together, we discuss how men can begin to unmask the layers of pain, trauma, and expectation—and step into a new kind of strength rooted in vulnerability and faith.

Whether you’re a man learning to breathe again after loss, or someone walking beside one, this episode offers hope, language, and light for the journey toward wholeness.
