From The Archive: Toxic Masculinity May 28, 2019

Show notes

As much as he’s sorry to see the word “toxic” put in front of the word “masculinity,” Stephen suggests that this word’s ancient Greek roots might provide us with a helpful framework for understanding the damage a man can do. The Greek word “toxikon" refers very specifically to the poison on the tip of an arrow. When a man is “toxic,” he sends out poisonous arrows into his own soul and the souls of others. Toxic men harm themselves and others by abusing the powers that God has given them to use for good. Resources mentioned in this episode: Sign up for the GreatMan Digest. Do the 14-Day "Manly Men" Bible Study. Listen to the new Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men audiobook.

Build Something! May 07, 2019

Show notes

Ninety percent of the churches in America do not have any kind of men’s program or ministry. Even if you’re non-religious or of a different religion, you should find this disturbing. Why? Because in the US, at least, churches are the primary organization investing in the development of men. Listen to this episode to learn more about this crisis and what it means for our culture. Stick around to the end for a special challenge from Stephen! See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Be the Vision Keeper Apr 30, 2019

Show notes

In aptitude tests, men pale in comparison to women in all categories except for two: abstract thought and aggression (or “vision/drive”). Men, your role is to be the vision keeper. Part of being a good husband, father, and leader is being able to develop and encourage a noble vision for all that is within your field. What if a son, for example, not only had a father, but had a father who held vision for the son’s life? A father who could identify the son’s gifts and encourage him to greatness? What an impact that could have! Developing and sharing a vision is one of the arts of noble manhood. Learn more about its role in this episode.

The Force of Self Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

There’s something that divides those who are engaging, big-hearted, and generous… and those who are seemingly incapable of drawing out the best in others. It is the force of self. Those of us striving to be good men can be affected by this force, so it’s critically important that we are aware of it, that we might keep it at bay in our pursuit of noble manhood. | “Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.” – Jonah 2:8 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Project Words Apr 16, 2019

Show notes

Men are powerful when they speak. Their words are carriers of truth, comfort, and destiny. Forget the awesomeness of words, and you risk doing severe damage. This week, Stephen challenges listeners to think about their “verbal strategies.” What do the people in your life need to hear from you? Where do they need encouragement? How can you uplift your friends, family, and those around you? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

P.I.E.D. Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

Please note: This episode includes sexual content. Parents, consider listening alone first, then discussing with your sons. (Specific content warnings are given throughout.) Growing up in Europe, Stephen was surrounded by porn. In Berlin, it was on the billboards, daytime soap operas, and in the locker rooms. Of course, Stephen is opposed to porn, but not just because he’s a Christian. Join us in this episode for a discussion of how porn is rewiring our souls, brains, and very culture. From P.I.E.D. (porn-induced erectile dysfunction) to unhappy marriages, porn can be an unbelievably corrosive force. Whether or not you struggle with pornography, tune in to this episode for perspective, encouragement, and help.
