Are men inherently bad?
Of course not. Genesis 1:27 tells us that God created both male and female in His own image.
But there’s a troubling narrative in our society right now that masculinity is toxic. So how can we as Christians fight this damaging idea?
First, we can affirm, not punish, the natural masculine traits that appear in our sons– such as being high energy and risk seeking. Second, we can help our sons find positive dad-like men as examples. And third, we can keep an open line of discussion going with our sons about how masculinity is portrayed in music, TV shows, and social media.
Being a man can be difficult in this day and age. Let’s show our sons that God made men for a divine purpose.
