058 – A “Call” to be What We Are Not – False Manhood

In the past fifteen to twenty years there has been a lot of clamor by the evangelicals and others, but mostly evangelicals about returning to “real manhood.” There were men, who were almost like carnival barkers, yelling at us to be loud, hard charging, ground plowing, aggressive leaders. Growling out orders for us to be like them. “Be warriors for Jesus, storm the gates of hell and take back the Kingdom by force!” they would roar.
Why would we need to storm a place that He said would not prevail against His Church? Why would we need to protect anything Jesus built? Nonetheless, I tried to be one. I bought into this call to manhood.
