What the Bible says about being a Man

Biblical masculinity is rooted in the image of God Himself: a God who is kind yet fierce, gentle yet untamed, who fights for His people, who risks everything to rescue them, who leads with sacrificial love.

Would you agree that we live in a world that has grown weary and confused?

☑Fatherless homes have become the norm.

☑Gender is treated as a fluid invention of the culture.

☑Boys grow up uncertain of what it even means to be a man.

Are you worried about it? Is something deep inside you stirring?

It’s that ancient longing God placed in a man’s heart. But the world (and sometimes the church) has twisted it, labeled it “toxic,” and tried to tame it into something safe, manageable, and ultimately lifeless.

Let’s be clear: toxic masculinity is real, but it’s not true masculinity.

It’s the false self—the wounded man lashing out in anger or domination because he never received the affirmation he needed as a boy, never heard from his father that he has what it takes. It’s aggression without purpose, strength without love, conquest without sacrifice. It hurts women, abandons children, and leaves everyone emptier. The culture is right to call that out as poison.

But in its reaction, the world (and the church) has gone too far: it now ridicules strength, adventure, and the fierce protective instinct God wired into men. It tells boys to suppress their energy, to be compliant and soft, to apologize for being male. And in doing so, it starves the very soul of what God designed manhood to be.

Biblical masculinity, on the other hand, is something altogether different. It’s rooted in the image of God Himself: a God who is kind yet fierce, gentle yet untamed, who fights for His people, who risks everything to rescue them, who leads with sacrificial love.

Biblical manhood means living as a son of the Father first—secure in His love, healed from your wounds. It means fighting battles that matter…

🤝the spiritual war for your family’s soul

🤝the daily pursuit of your wife as Jesus pursues the church

🤝the discipleship of your children so they grow up knowing truth

The culture’s confusion doesn’t change God’s design. It only makes the need more urgent.

God is calling you to lead your family with Jesus’ authority…

gentle strength

fierce protection

biblical truth.

You don’t need to wait for permission!

You have what it takes. God is faithful.

  1. The male leadership of the church bows before the cabal of rebellious and restless Eves. As a result men are taught and required to submit to ungodly women. This is one of the many reasons I left the church and will never return.

    1. Thanks for your comment. I would agree that the rise of feminism in the 20th and 21st century has created deep problems for the church and challenges much of the biblical narrative. That’s why I’m doing this ministry to help men pick up that mantle again, and live into the calling of God over their lives for the sake of their families, local church and the world.
