An elder is a person who is valued for wisdom, and holds a “position” of responsibility and authority. He has become wise through experience.

A sage is defined as someone who has attained wisdom and lives wisely. A sage is considered a virtuous person, an advisor of good judgement because of his years of reflection.

Michael Thompson, author of The Heart of a Warrior and King Me, is joined by a series of guests—business owners, pastors, veterans, athletes, and friends—for candid and heartfelt roundtable conversations about the current state of masculinity, the need for oriented Elder-Sages to guide younger men, and the hope that an older generation of men can still offer to the world.
