Description

Episode Summary: Christian author Rick Phillips writes, “To be a man is to stand up and be counted when there is danger or other evil. God does not desire for men to stand by idly and allow harm or permit wickedness to exert itself” (The Masculine Mandate). This episode examines the masculine calling to be fierce protectors and warriors and identifies two reasons men often fail to fight the battles God has designed them to fight.

 For Further Prayerful Thought

1. What do you think is the biggest obstacle to men battling spiritually as they are called to do?
2. How would you combat the argument that Christians should not express their views about current cultural topics because it gets too political and detracts from focusing on the gospel?
3. Why do you think, Tim Keller’s answer to what Christians believe about homosexuality has those specific three parts?
4. Summarize the lessons that you believe Elijah can teach us about prayer?
