Threats To Godly Manhood | Praise God Let's Go

36 minutes

Praise God, Let's Go Season 1 Episode 2

Topic: Pastor Spence Shelton & Pastor Scott Urbanek discuss three threats to biblical manhood and the importance of fighting for biblical masculinity in today’s culture.

Soul Work:

Husbands: Name one character trait you genuinely admire in your wife + one specific physical/appearance affirmation, and tell her this week.

All men: Encourage one brother—name one Christlike trait you see and speak it out loud. How to do that: Send a voice text, call them, text them, and say, “I have been encouraged by seeing _________ in your life.”

Ask Pastor Spence Question: How do I pick the person I’m going to marry?
