#masculinetothecore #thepowernumberlifeassessment #morepowerfulme #60quest #themanofimpactWhy does every politician have an opinion on what a man should be? Some call you toxic. The other calls you weak. But politics can't define manhood — God already did.In this session, we cut through the noise around toxic masculinity and politics to find the Biblical definition of a Godly man. If you've felt confused, exhausted, or pulled in multiple directions, this is for you.We explore what biblical masculinity really means, why strength is not toxic, and the 3 Biblical marks of a man: Protector, Provider, and Servant-Leader. Rooted in Genesis 1:27, Mark 10:45, and 1 Corinthians 16:13.This is for every man searching for identity, purpose, and what it means to be a man of God in a confusing world.

There is a question every man asks at some point.
Usually in the dark. Usually alone.
What am I actually here for? Most men never answer it.
They bury it under work, entertainment, and noise — because sitting still means facing the truth that they're drifting.
In this third episode of the Christian Masculinity series, we go back to Genesis to find what God built into man before the fall — and why purpose isn't a backup plan. It was the original design.
Because a disciplined man without purpose is just a well-organized lost man.

Most men wake up every day and lose — not to an enemy, but to themselves.The snooze button. The impulse. The avoided conversation.
And we've been told the lie that discipline is willpower — that some men are born with it and some aren't.
Scripture says something different.
In this second episode of the Christian Masculinity series, we look at what the Bible actually teaches about self-control — why it's not something you manufacture, why Paul compared the Christian life to an athlete's training, and why discipline is the difference between a man who stays down and a man who stands.Because you don't discipline yourself into Godliness. You pursue God — and discipline follows.

Every man knows the moment. The pit in your stomach after a mistake. The voice that whispers — you're not enough.
But what if God allowed that moment to happen? Not to destroy you — to build you.
In this first video of the Christian Masculinity series, we look at what Scripture actually says about failure — and why the men God used most powerfully were the very men who fell the hardest. Peter denied Christ. David committed adultery. And God used both of them.
Because a man who has never fallen has never been tested. And a man who has never been tested doesn't know who he really is.
⬇️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 — Every man knows this moment0:45 — The two lies about failure2:00 — Peter, David, and the biblical pattern5:00 — Why God allows failure7:00 — How to rise: 3 steps9:00 — Your turn
📖 SCRIPTURE IN THIS VIDEOProverbs 24:16 — "Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again"James 1:2-3 — The testing of faith produces perseverancePsalm 51 — David's prayer after his fallRomans 8:1 — No condemnation in Christ
