The culture is emasculating men, yet the Church has the answer through biblical masculinity. To help frame the issue, Promise Keepers and other organizations have written a powerful proclamation on godly masculinity that we can support, declare, and share! Three-time Super Bowl champion and Air Force veteran Chad Hennings joins us to share about his passion for discipling men and the “why” behind this proclamation. We also look at the key role of watchmen in the family, church, and nation. A PROCLAMATION ON GODLY MASCULINITY (whatmakesaman.org)

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, and there are plenty of reasons to focus on this important issue. Suicide for men is four times higher than for women, and there are a variety of reasons men don’t seek help. Rob Jackson, MS, LPC, and someone who struggled with anxiety for years, joins us to discuss ways to help the men we love while respecting their dignity. We also look at the town in Wyoming with the highest suicide rates in the US and beyond, and we review this year’s Happiness Report (hint: the US did poorly) and why seeking virtue is key to real happiness.

In Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life, David Bahnsen makes the case that our understanding of work and its role in our lives is deeply flawed—we are unmoored from what he calls “created purpose.” He argues that the time has come to stop tiptoeing around the issues that matter, that separating one’s identity from what they do is demonstrably false, and that this era of alienation is for many a direct result of a low view of work. It is in work—effort, service, striving—of every kind that we discover our meaning and purpose; a significant and successful life is one rooted in full-time productivity and cultivation of God’s created world. David joins us for an intriguing conversation! Full-Time Book (fulltimebook.com)

A big story, and we have the facts.
