Not all “muscular Christians” are muscular. Some are just Biblical Chads…buff in their theology, exercising strong principles, working out their doctrine with actions, and full of the Accountability, Authority, and Action that form the 3 sides of the Prism of Manhood. This brings me to the third of three societal events in this Prism of […]

Still thinking about the Prism of Manhood and the “Sound of Freedom“, if Indiana Jones is the manhood of Hollywood, fictional adventure, leather jacket, good-guy wins, and you were to contrast that with “Sound of Freedom“ with its godly manhood of true heroes rescuing actual children, it’s clear which of these show authentic acts of […]

Jake Meador writes about the decline of Christianity in America in a recent Atlantic article saying, “Nearly everyone I grew up with in my childhood church in Lincoln, Nebraska, is no longer Christian. That’s not unusual. Forty million Americans have stopped attending church in the past 25 years. That’s something like 12 percent of the […]

Tim Ballard is a Christian man who exemplifies the protective manhood qualities of Accountability, Action, and Authority in A Prism of Manhood. His mission is to help the least of these: children who have been kidnapped and sold into situations of slavery, abuse, torture, and organ harvesting. He’s a true hero who continues to make […]

Andrew Tate isn’t all bad. He preaches a positive message of manhood which is magnetic to men and women alike. Contrary to what popular culture would have us believe, many women (in addition to men) would prefer a culture with strong men and strong women who appreciate strong (and I’d add biological) men. The West […]

Andrew Tate is dangerous, but not for the same reasons as he is experiencing house arrest in Romania. He is charged with human-trafficking of women through social media using the “lover boy method.” No, Andrew Tate is dangerous—even more so than Mike Tyson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, and Shaquille O’Neal before him. He’s more […]

The Andrew Tate interview by Tucker Carlson. The Sound of Freedom movie. The SBC vote on clarifying the pastorate. What do these 3 recent societal events have in common? They form a prism of manhood that discerning people (men and women alike) cannot help but notice. Three perspectives on the manhood problem facing modern culture. I […]

We’re not just a holy priesthood. We’re also a royal priesthood. This is a particularly important phrase. Back in the days of Genesis, there was a first royal priest, the king of Salem, Melchizedek. A king (of peace, the meaning of Salem), but he was also a priest. Genesis 14:18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem […]

Our identity in Christ is not just our being living stones in the spiritual house He is building. In Scripture it says, there’s a purpose: 1 Peter 2: 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. […]

How far does God’s love extend? It is as wide as the Church universal (the entire community of redeemed Image-bearers, rescued from every corner and former faith tradition into Christ’s spiritual house) and as personal as you and me (living stones and individual Image-bearers whom God knows personally). But… When Scripture says in John 3:16 […]
