What does the Bible really say about being a man?
Many churches reduce “biblical masculinity” to being a good husband and father. While those roles matter, they’re not the full story. In this episode, discover a bigger, bolder vision of manhood rooted in the life of Jesus Himself.
We break down the 5 Marks of Manhood—Strength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegiance—and reveal how Jesus embodied each one. You’ll learn why the last two marks, Honor and Allegiance, are crucial to living as a godly man, building strong brotherhood, and staying loyal to your true calling.
If you’ve ever felt out of place in church conversations about masculinity, this episode will reframe the discussion and give you a vision of manhood that challenges and inspires—whether you’re single, married, a father, or not.
