Kian Bisschop joins us for an episode we recorded just a few days before his wedding to talk about masculinity - where do we get it right, and where have we lost our way? As our culture has conversations about exposing toxic masculinity, men are left to wonder how to replace some of the cultural stereotypes and poor examples we've grown up with. Kian helps us explore the essence of biblical masculinity, responsibility, and community through a few engaging stories. We talk about why it's important for men to embrace hard work, take on first responsibilities, and cultivate strong friendships.
