Episode #84—Be a Man: Four Pillars of Authentic Masculinity

Listen Later

What does it mean to be a man? This week, Anton Beetge, a pastor at Brackenhurst Baptist Church, joins Tommie to unpack what authentic masculinity actually looks like—not the cultural caricature, and not the watered-down alternative the world often pushes instead. Drawing on a short video by a former special forces doctor, Tommie and Anton work through four practical, interconnected pillars every man can build on:

  • Physical—Men were made for exertion. If your work doesn’t demand it, manufacture it. Strength training, bodyweight exercise, and consistent physical effort aren’t optional extras, but foundational.
  • Chemical—Testosterone isn’t just a gym topic. It’s central to a man’s mood, clarity, and resilience. The best way to keep it healthy isn’t a prescription but an active life.
  • Mental—Confidence comes from competence, and self-mastery comes from practice. Delaying gratification, voluntary discomfort, and fasting are small acts of denial train that the will for the moments that really matter.
  • Mission—Drifting through life on autopilot is not a masculine virtue. Men need a purpose that gets them up in the morning—and for Christians, that starts with the call to make disciples and ripples out into every area of life.

    • This episode is for men who want to grow—and for the women in their lives who want to help them get there.

    Here is Episode 84 of Imprint Out Loud.
