In an era when masculinity is often dismissed as violent, destructive, and at best, unnecessary, you're called to a renewal of godly courage and strength, as lover of a woman, father, worker, warrior, and church member.

In order to grow into manhood, a boy needed a father to call him away from the woman, and into the company of men. Many men today can't do that for their sons, however, because their own fathers did not do it for them. That deep wound of abandonment still festers in our masculine soul.
