Where Have All the Courageous Men Gone? (feat. Chris Harper) Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

We’re jumping into Betterman’s first track session from the recent Nashville City Tour, and we’ve got Chris Harper talking about Men, Manhood, and Faith. Chris tells us about the importance of journeying back to God's original design for manhood and masculinity. In case you haven’t noticed, our culture has time and time again tried to confuse men about what masculinity should look like. These culture changes have influenced the role of men within both family and the church. And as followers of Jesus, we need to return to Scripture to dictate what a REAL man is. Today Chris is going to give you some actionable steps to better engage and support men in their spiritual journeys, through the lens of worship, discipleship, and the significance of encouraging men within the church community.

Biblical Manhood Q&A with Anthony Walker, Chris Harper, and Bobby Harrington Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

Today we've got Anthony Walker, Chris Harper, and Bobby Harrington talking about redefining manhood through a biblical and modern perspective. This is the Q&A session with speakers from the past two episodes, so if you haven’t listened to those, please skip back and do that before listening to this one. The world critiques any form of manhood as toxic… but these men are advocating for a higher calling for me: the call for a Christ-like model of masculinity. This discussion emphasizes the importance of men confirming each other's manhood, the role of mentorship and discipleship in developing godly men, and the power of community to combat isolation and foster spiritual growth. Get ready for some practical approaches and models for having Christ-like traits in your life.

How to Disciple Men (feat. Chris Harper) Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

Chris Harper of Betterman.com talks with us about the modern perceptions of gender and the confusion surrounding masculinity in our contemporary society. He critiques the progression in our country from a need for men to the questioning of what even defines a man. Chris takes us through a journey towards reclaiming manhood through biblical teachings, mentorship from older generations, and active participation in communities. Men simply need other men to guide them through intentional discipleship towards living as constructive contributors in our society and to become the protective “wall” to their families.

Discovering Modern Manhood: A Transformative Journey

The script narrates a personal story of attending a Lyle Lovett concert in 2011, which transitions into a life-changing revelation of impending fatherhood. Exploring the speaker's initial preference for a son and subsequent joy at discovering they would have a daughter, the narrative shifts to a broader discourse on modern perceptions of gender and the confusion surrounding masculinity in contemporary society. It critiques the progression from a need for men to a question of what defines a man, attributing current societal confusion to a lack of clear paths to manhood. Offering a solution, the speaker outlines a journey towards reclaiming manhood through biblical teachings, mentorship from older generations, and active participation in communities. This pathway includes invitations to transformation, clear definitions of masculinity, overcoming juvenile thinking, dedicated training, and finally, recognition and commissioning into responsible manhood. The message emphasizes the necessity of guiding men through intentional discipleship towards living as constructive societal contributors, akin to being a protective 'wall' around their communities.

Why Men Need Unique Discipleship (feat. Anthony Walker) Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

We’ve got Anthony Walker on the show today and he’s highlighting how men and women require different discipleship approaches. Where women may more naturally fit into ongoing continuous discipleship with their relationships, men typically have a harder time opening up. Anthony wants to help us have a new framework and a new approach for reaching and discipling men. He says we have to meet men where they are, accepting them along with their troubles, and helping them navigate through their lives by walking with Jesus as the ultimate guide. Men have unique struggles, but there is also power in fellowship with the men and guidance from them in overcoming life's challenges.
