If Men Give Love to Get Sex
By: Micah Murray | March 6, 2014
I’ve always wanted to get it right the first time. I don’t like to make mistakes. I don’t like to learn from experience; I’d rather learn from books. So when I was getting ready to propose to the girl who would become my wife, I read everything I could about how [...]
Reframing Biblical Masculinity
By: Tim Krueger | March 6, 2014
When asked what we, as regular people, can do to prevent sex trafficking, a Minneapolis police officer who works with both victims and perpetrators on a daily basis had only one response: “We need to reinvent what it means to be a man in our society.”
How Jesus Defies American and Roman Masculinity
By: Sandra Glahn | March 5, 2014
In a world in which real men didn’t cry, Jesus wept. In a world in which masculine men didn’t characterize themselves as women, Jesus compared himself to a hen, and his Father to a woman who lost a coin. In a weapon-wielding world, Jesus told Peter his sword was out of place.
First Man Standing: Men and Sexual Violence
By: Peter Grant | March 5, 2014
My world changed in 2008 when I listened to a Namibian woman speak about her experience of being raped three times as a teenager. I was aware that violence against women was an important issue, but it had not affected my heart. I felt God challenging me about what kind of world we had created—a [...]
Masculinity: An Egalitarian's Thoughts
By: Susan Harris Howell | March 5, 2014
Ask one hundred people “What does it mean to be masculine?” and you will likely get a hundred different answers, along with a fair amount of blank stares and blinking eyes. When I posed the question, rather unscientifically, to a few people hanging around our campus’s social science building, I got a variety of [...]
Reflect with Us: Manly Men, Common Clay Pots, and a Harvest of Good Deeds
By: Jo Ellen Heil | March 5, 2014
Worldly stereotypes about men abound. Movie-goers watch jet-setting spies spring back to life after leaping out of airplanes. Professional athletes are valued for their physical prowess. Romance readers lust after rugged cowboys. Gamers pretend they are militaristic superheroes. And Wall Street applauds twenty-something billionaires.
Agents of Reconciliation
By: W. Tali Hairston | March 5, 2014
“Who do people say the Son of Man is?” Jesus asked this question of the disciples (Matt. 16:13–19) after warning his followers about the false teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, who had been hounding Jesus for a sign from heaven to validate his identity as Messiah. This was done to test or disprove Jesus. Asking [...]
Proverbs 31 Man
By: Daniel Fan | June 5, 2013
It was not by choice, but by calling, that I found myself a Proverbs 31 man.
On Modesty and Male Privilege
By: Luke Harms | March 5, 2013
Perhaps instead of focusing on the culturally ambiguous standard of “modest dress” for women, we should worry more about our attitudes toward, and our objectification of, women. Instead of trying to place the blame on women for our own shortcomings, we should do the hard work of re-wiring our brains to remove the influences [...]
The Whisper of Power
By: Kriste Patrow | December 5, 2011
Pornography is so prevalent that often one does not ask if a man watches pornography but rather how much. In one recent study conducted on male sex buyers, researchers defined a “non-user” as a man who had not used pornography more than one time in the last month.
