The Hangar

“When Head, Heart, and Guts all inform each other and work together, a truly healthy manhood cannot help but arise.” – Robert Masters

We dive into part 2 of our series "Embrace the Suck". In this episode, we talk exactly what is the process needed to embrace the suck. It's pretty dope. Take a listen.

Sucks to suck. Or does it? Probably. But it doesn't have to be all bad. Confused? Me too. Let's listen.

Like to read? Well believe it or not (don't know why you wouldn't believe it, but hey, more power to you) Mo is just reading a blog posted by the Hangar. "The Hangar has a blog?" Yep. Sure does. You can find it below. Now give the episode a listen. Unless you already did/are. In that case......thanks? I don't know. See ya later. https://medium.com/the-hangar

We took a trip. It was good. Listen to the episode about the trip.

A Hangarman lives in authentic community. The Hangar’s call to “ruck up” is not just a call to action, it’s a call to community. One easy way to identify a Hangarman, is that you won’t find one isolated. Hangarmen are constantly seeking authentic community. Dictionary.com defines “ruck” as the great mass of undistinguished or inferior persons or things. Though not inferior, men in hiding feel very little of themselves. The Hangarman is an imperfect man in the company of other imperfect men who have come out of hiding and are ready to reclaim manhood.

A Hangarman lives as his authentic self. The journey to find his authentic self is the undertaking of the Hangarman. Peeling back the false self, the Hangarman searches for who he is in the image of Christ. He strives to live authentically before all people, having put to death all of his false personas presented to different sects of society. You can be sure that a Hangarman is exactly who he says he is.

A Hangarman is not consumed by greed. A Hangarman is generous to those in need. He recognizes that all he has is a gift from above, and as a result his resources are dedicated to serving God’s mission. Generosity is not only measured by dollars given, but by time and energy devoted to the care of others.

A Hangarman is set apart. The Hangarman is not necessarily nobility is social standing, but a gentleman by character. He stands out among men, not because he is highlighted, but because he allows others to be. The Hangarman doesn’t seek attention for himself, he draws attention to others by highlighting them, and to Jesus by highlighting Him. Emulating Jesus, the Hangarman puts others above himself and recognizes his responsibility to help carry his brother’s burdens. The Hangarman makes decisions based on how it will benefit the world rather than how it will benefit himself.

A Hangarman is a man of action. It is easy to find oneself isolated and paralytic having faced the beasts within. Recognizing one’s brokenness is a difficult journey to take and one can grow weary. A Hangarman recognizes where he is and refuses to sit still. With the help of his company of Hangarmen he begins to move forward towards victory over the situation. Hangermen don’t just identify, they spring into action.
