In recent years, a loosely connected set of online voices, often referred to as the ‘manosphere’, has gained significant influence, especially among young men. Through podcasts, social media, and viral clips, these men promote a vision of masculinity built on dominance, control, sexual conquest, financial success, and personal power. While the messaging varies from person toContinue reading “The Manosphere and the Way of Christ: Why “Alpha Masculinity” Falls Short of Biblical Manhood”

Learning to Weep Before God
There was a time in my life when the language of the Christian faith felt painful. I knew the right answers. I could preach the gospel clearly. I said that I believed every word of Scripture. And yet, in the quiet hours of the night, when the darkness pressed in and my own mind turnedContinue reading “Learning to Weep Before God”

Overcoming Comparison: Finding Christ-Centered Contentment

The Loving Severity of Christ: Why Church Discipline Still Matters
Church discipline is rarely the subject of conference banners or popular podcasts. It feels awkward, heavy, and (if we are honest) it can feel dangerous. In a culture that seems to be growing more suspicious of authority and is allergic to judgement, the very phrase ‘church discipline’ can sound harsh. Yet when we turn toContinue reading “The Loving Severity of Christ: Why Church Discipline Still Matters”
