5: The Beauty

Matthew 1:19, Isaiah 61:3, Proverbs 30:18–19, Proverbs 18:21

Nothing captures the attention of a man like a woman. She is wonderful. She is a mystery. Beauty, Love, Sex—these things run deep in the heart of men. But femininity can feel like such a challenge to our masculinity. Learning to love a woman and fight for the heart are core to what it means to be a man.

1: The Heart of a Man

Genesis 1:27

Masculinity is a gift from God, filled with passion and dignity. He created the masculine heart and set it in every man. From it flow all the things that make your life worth living—friendships, love, adventure, career, dreams…and your relationship with God. It’s time to recover your masculine heart.

2: The Poser

Genesis 3:10

Every boy has two core questions—“Does my dad love me?” and “Do I have what it takes?” How those questions were answered has shaped you into the man you are today. We need to be honest about the Poser we’ve constructed, name it, face it, and lay it down in our search for a deep and genuine strength.

3: The Wound

Isaiah 61:1

In our journey to become a man, we’ve all taken arrows to the heart. Our wounds, and the messages that come through them, have impacted us profoundly. The effects of our wounds play out in a variety of ways, from anger and perfectionism to hiding and addictions. The good news is, the mission of Jesus is all about restoration. He came to heal your heart and restore you as a son…and as a man.
