On this week's episode of the Exploring More Podcast, we begin to dig into our new series on "Kingdom Masculinity" and how it contrasts with "Biblical Masculinity." Hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings kick off the discussion by exploring what it means for men to be image-bearers and how this concept shapes a man's life. They dive into the topic of false identities, addressing how these affect a man's self-image and his perception of Jesus. Michael and SJ take adeep dive into the idea that true kingdom masculinity is rooted in being a masculine image-bearer of Jesus. They emphasize that while Jesus is a powerful model for masculinity, simply knowing this isn’t enough. We need to actively walk with Him and experience His presence in our lives to fully embrace our true identity. The conversation also touches on how our personal stories, starting from boyhood, along with the influences (or lack thereof) from our upbringing, play a significant role in shaping our view of masculinity. They caution that telling men to "just be like Jesus" without context or deeper understanding isn't particularly helpful. This insightful discussion between Michael and SJ is a fantastic starting point for what promises to be an enriching series. We hope you enjoy this episode of the Exploring More Podcast.
