No Offense: Why Men Should Master Emotions and Quit Being Easily Offended | S6 E17 Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

If the title of this episode offends you, that's the point.
In every area of our modern culture, being offended has become a badge of honor, even among men who once had the strength to stand on convictions rather than being overly sensitive.
To combat this epidemic of emotional drama, Steve Alessi welcomes back his life-long friend and guest Pastor Steve Hage, as they challenge men to embrace their masculinity and avoid easily taking offense. You'll learn why men need to support and sharpen each other, and how they are sometimes discouraged from being strong emotionally.
You'll be challenged to trust in God rather than people, to love others unconditionally, and to celebrate the role of strong men in a society that desperately needs them.
