What does it mean to be a man in today’s culture? In this episode, we’re talking with Seth Williams about the attack on manhood, not just in mainstream society, but also in the church. Men are being turned off from the faith because we have removed any sense of adventure and perpetuated the view that Christianity is for pacifists. However, if we look at the example of King David, we see a dichotomy of manhood that is strength and emotion; action and art; ferocity and peace. Listen as we explore what it means for men to be fully alive in their God-given design. QUOTES TO REMEMBER ”I think we need men to be strong in a godly way. The key is the work of the cross in our lives. Men need to know how to be strong for others.” — Seth Williams “The people who hanged Christ never, to do them justice, accused him of being a bore — on the contrary, they thought him too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have efficiently pared the claws of the Lion of Judah, certified him "meek and mild" and recommended him as a fitting household pet for pale curates and pious old ladies.” — Dorothy L. Sayers RELATED RESOURCES Podcast: It's So Easy for Men to Get THESE Mixed Up - Larry Pons shares with us the fundamental priorities that men, especially husbands, should have regarding their relationships, their role in the home, and daily lives as God intended for them to be. Wild at Heart by John Eldredge - Helping men rediscover their masculine heart, this guide to understanding Christian manhood and Christian men offers a refreshing break from the chorus of voices urging men to be more responsible, reliable, dutiful ... and dead. God designed men to be dangerous, says Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires-aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing more than pressure to be a "nice guy." This provocative book gives women a look inside the true heart of a man and gives men permission to be what God designed them to be-dangerous, passionate, alive, and free.
