Episode 188 | VFL Reads: The Toxic War on Masculinity

November 27, 2024 • Autumn Gardner, Hunter Beaumont

In certain corners of Western Civilization, being male is itself considered toxic. Nancy Pearcey addresses this perspective on masculinity in The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. Pearcey takes a broad view of societal trends, carefully examines Scripture, and provides a constructive way forward for the church. Autumn and Hunter highlight portions of Pearcey’s argument and use her paradigm of the “good man” vs. the “real man” to answer a listener’s question.
