Promoting Godly Manhood in the Midst of Toxic Masculinity

Toxic Masculinity is a common phrase we hear today. It’s essentially used to describe a man who is embracing “manhood” in selfish & harmful ways.

However, as evil as many men have been toward women, we need to realize that masculinity (in general) isn’t the core problem here — sin is.

Sin (rebellion against God’s design) has distorted manhood (and womanhood) in so many ways and what we see isn’t often a biblical picture of God calls us to.

Yes, it is right and good to call out the sin of evil men — but let’s not swing so far to one side that we forget that godly men still exist in the world.

There are still men in this world who desire to embrace their masculinity as God intended — by cherishing women, protecting women, caring for families, & leading in genuine humility.
