Collars & Calluses is a working theology for young men where grit meets grace and faith meets the work bench, where young men can come to learn how to grow in the strength, wisdom, and courage that God calls them to. In a world confused about manhood, we open God’s word and roll up our sleeves. We’ll talk theology that’s not just for the classroom, but for the job site, the gym, the family table, and the front lines of life. We are about forging biblical masculinity that works in the real world, for real men, to the glory of God.

In this episode of "Collars and Calluses," Bill Smith and Rich Lusk delve into the theme of masculine responsibility through the lens of the Book of Proverbs. They start by exploring the purpose of Proverbs, written primarily by Solomon for his son, and discuss its application to all Christian men as 'kings in training.' Emphasizing the unique responsibilities men carry, they examine the metaphorical courtship story within Proverbs, juxtaposing Lady Wisdom and Harlot Folly. The hosts also compare the wisdom literature of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, highlighting the value and limits of wisdom in a fallen world. They discuss the critical role of men in maintaining societal structures, the importance of burden of performance, and the need for men to embrace responsibility. The episode concludes with practical advice for young men on mental toughness, taking risks, and striving for growth outside their comfort zones.
