It’s the first Friday of the month, which means this podcast and the rest of the content connected to this week’s topic are free for all subscribers. Two weeks ago, we started our "Journey of Faith" series, so for the next part of the series, this week we’re talking about the essence of masculinity.

There's a major war on the male identity today, and we want to invite you into this conversation and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart on this matter.

So, you’re invited to join us as we explore healthy, God-designed masculinity while contrasting it with toxic masculinity. We focus on Aragorn from J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings as well as biblical figures like David and his mighty men.The traits these men exemplify are an inspiration for all men today, as they offer a pathway to embracing a true male identity empowered by the Holy Spirit, while openly living a life surrendered to Jesus as their King.

Listen to the podcast for more and check out this week’s reflection questions!

Reflection Questions:

1. Reflecting on Aragorn's character, in what ways do you perceive the balance between strength and humility, and how might this contrast with popular portrayals of masculinity in today's culture?2. How does the model of healthy masculinity, seen in figures like Aragorn, David's Mighty Men, and Jesus influence your perspective on fostering healthy relationships, honor, and protection in your personal life?3. Consider the notion of toxic masculinity traits versus those of healthy masculinity. In what ways can recognizing and rejecting toxic traits positively impact your personal interactions and the people around you?4. In light of the encouragement to adopt the positive attributes of masculinity, how can you actively incorporate these virtues in your everyday life to promote respect, humility, and love in your relationships and communities?5. How can the stories and values reflected in Aragorn, David, and Jesus inspire you to challenge and transform societal norms and perceptions of masculinity, encouraging a healthier, more balanced ideal in the world today?
