Biblical masculinity should resonate with strength, sacrifice, and leadership—but in today’s churches, many men feel sidelined, silenced, or bored. In this episode of the Enduring Church Podcast, Nathan and Michael unpack why modern churches are struggling to engage men and what it means to reclaim a robust vision of biblical manhood.
They explore how worship culture, emotionalism, and consumer-driven discipleship have created a church environment that often feels more therapeutic than transformational. The conversation dives into cultural overcorrections like “toxic masculinity,” the rise of incels, and why many men are more comfortable retreating into video games than rising to lead their families and communities.
Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and even emotional intelligence training used by Navy SEALs, the episode offers pastors practical ways to disciple men who are eager for purpose, challenge, and spiritual grit. It’s raw, bold, and a timely call to reawaken the warrior spirit within the Church.
