While toxic masculinity has been a real problem throughout human history, today’s culture has wrongly conflated toxic masculinity with masculinity itself. What God in Creation pronounced as “very good,” modern society now decries as very bad. So, what is it? Is masculinity a good or bad thing? And if it’s a good thing as God clearly declares, then what exactly is toxic masculinity? Moreover, how does it effect men, what does it do to the world men are called to subdue, and how can a man prevent ...

In this talk we will begin our work in answering the question “WHAT IS A MAN?” by focusing on a key biblical text in which God commands us to “act like men.” Using this text as a springboard we will jump headfirst into the Culture War by seeking to identify the Standard for Manliness that is logically assumed by this divine command. We can’t “be men” unless there already exists a recognized standard for measuring our manliness. What is that standard? Where does it come from? Can we trust it to s...

Everybody’s asking, “What is a woman?” A good question, but not the first question we should be asking. Because the biblical creation account tells us the Woman was created from the side of the Man , our first question should be, “What is a Man?” Why? Because if we don't accurately answer the man question, then we have no hope of getting the woman question right. So then, “What is a Man?” Our woke culture is offering us their answer, leaving men confused and feeling guilty. Whatever a Man is, we...
