The Crisis of Manhood

Today, there are new standards, protocols, and even terms that many of us are yet to be familiar with. In fact, many of the definitions of these terms have to be sorted out and agreed upon before we can have an intelligent conversation about manhood.

Apparent absolutes about boys and men have become fluid. But more than that, American culture has created a climate ripe for systemic discouragement of our young men. Have they been in some sense emasculated? If so, what can be done about it?

The crisis of manhood extends beyond political correctness. The bottom line is that we have messed with God’s ecosystem. When the creation thinks that they have a better idea for doing and defining life than the creator, that’s when we are building a house of cards.
