Fire Forged Leader Podcast | Hosted by Steve Baumgartner with Guest Sean Corcoran @ www.MenForLife.org
🔥 Episode Summary:
What happens when a man hits rock bottom and chooses to rise?
In this episode of Fire Forged Leader, Steve sits down with Sean Corcoran, a former divorce attorney turned CEO of Men for Life—a nonprofit rewriting the conversation around abortion, manhood, and leadership.
Sean shares his gut-wrenching story of post-abortion grief, meth addiction, and a supernatural moment of redemption that brought him back to life and purpose. He unpacks the silence that haunts men after abortion, why biblical masculinity is the solution, and how his Men for Life curriculum is flipping the script for young fathers.
💥 Inside This Episode:
✅ Why abortion is not just a women’s issue—but the result of failed masculinity
✅ How silence and shame trap men in cycles of addiction and self-destruction
✅ Sean’s overdose moment, a broken-down truck, and God’s grace in a parking lot
✅ What true masculinity looks like (hint: it’s not Andrew Tate)
✅ Why young men don’t need lectures—they need vision and brotherhood
✅ How the Men for Life framework is equipping fathers in pregnancy centers nationwide
✅ What Steve and Sean both believe about balancing provision and presence in fatherhood
✅ The connection between failed marriages and emotional absenteeism
✅ Why cultural change must start with men—and how YOU can be part of it
