We are in our third week of week of the Stepping Up series with our church men’s group. Today we journeyed through defining what is authentic manhood?
Defining authentic manhood is tough, because we don’t see it much in our modern progressive culture. In today’s world view the very idea of manhood has been emasculated and masculinity is under attack. The dominant narrative throws out labels such as clueless, knucklehead, bumbling idiot, fill in the blank ________.
Voddie Baucham, pastor at Grace Family Baptist Church in Spring Texas shares that if you could package up todays definition of “manhood” it would the three B’s: billfold, ball-field and bedroom. Being a man in today’s standards is about how much you make, what do you do (focus on athletes) and how are with the ladies. Wow, does today s culture have it wrong!
Heartstone Journey starts the conversation around authentic manhood with Jesus Christ as the model. Why? Because He is the model!
Unfortunately, most of us men don’t follow this model. We follow the Adam model and here’s why.
