What happens when the "old maps" of masculinity fail us? 🗺️📉
In this follow-up episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer and Dr. Ashish Varma move from critique to construction. If the cultural and traditional "maps" of biblical manhood are distorted, how do we redraw them without falling back into the same traps? They explore how to approach male discipleship when the old frameworks have failed, focusing on the character of Christ rather than cultural caricatures.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Failure of Frameworks: Identifying why old "maps" of manhood often lead to a machismo-centered view of Jesus.
Discipleship as the Primary Lens: Why becoming a man is secondary to the primary call of learning to live under the authority of Christ.
Counter-Cultural Humanity: Following Jesus on His own terms rather than reshaping Him to fit our cultural needs.
The "Strategic" vs. The "Sensitive": Embracing the individual ways men embody their maleness within the body of Christ.
Moving Toward Patterns: Utilizing biblical patterns of relating to God to navigate the modern world.
It’s time to stop trying to fit into a mold and start following a Person. Let's redraw the map together. ⚓✨
