Culture is deeply confused about what it means to be a man. Despite attempts by popular conservative voices to define gender roles biologically or traditionally, these arguments fall short because they fail to appeal to Scripture as the ultimate authority. Without the Word of God as the foundation for truth, even scientific arguments become unstable and relativistic.In this foundational episode of the Forging Conquerors Podcast, Matt and Tyler dive deep into Scripture to uncover God’s design for masculinity. They discuss why secular and even conservative frameworks fail to provide a true and lasting definition of what a man is. Drawing from Genesis and throughout the Bible, the hosts explore the concept of Imago Dei (image of God) and how this shapes the authoritative role men are called to embrace—as fathers, husbands, protectors, providers, and leaders.From the prodigal son parable to modern debates about gender, this conversation highlights the critical need for men to find their identity and purpose rooted firmly in God's Word. Join Matt and Tyler as they confront misconceptions, challenge cultural norms, and lay the biblical groundwork for true masculinity.
