Ep 90: Toxic Masculinity

Video
Men’s Alliance

We live in a world where people believe that masculinity is toxic. So, what are we to do? Be less masculine? Sit silently on the sidelines lest someone accuse us of being toxic. Or...should our lives demonstrate that real masculinity is both physically strong and emotionally caring? Jesus taught us to be both strong and loving, to face our fears, and to lay down our lives for others. That is real masculinity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
