Matt Wilson speaks at a Renew gathering about how the church has sidelined masculinity, the cultural forces that softened men, and why the church must actively disciple and equip men to be courageous, loving defenders of truth.
He explores scriptural foundations, the role of intention in gendered behavior, and practical steps churches can take to raise up strong, godly men without compromising compassion.
