Often men today experience misperceptions regarding their roles as sons, husbands, fathers, friends and disciples of Christ; especially when they have not had emotionally or spiritually healthy, Christ-reflecting fathers or other positive male role models.
Additionally, an unprecedented assault upon God’s design of gender has resulted in Christianity being blamed for adhering to toxic masculinity. We believe this cultural misperception presents Christian men with an unprecedented opportunity to display the glory of God’s original design of self-sacrificing, service-focused manhood that condemns the toxic masculinity practices of aggression, violence and disrespect towards women and children.
As men examine the positive masculinity that Christ exemplified, they can envision healthier masculinity characterized by self-awareness, vulnerability, respect, non-violence, accountability, emotional expression, fair-mindedness and servant-leadership.
When men commit themselves to an authentic, transformative relationship with Jesus, they will experience His supernatural power which will help them break toxic, generational masculinity patterns and practices. They will be enabled to serve, love and empower their spouses, children and expanded spiritual family in their sphere of influence.
