The version of Jesus most people carry in their minds — gentle, passive, blonde-haired, blue-eyed — is not the Jesus of Scripture. The real Jesus turned over tables, carried heavy stone, wept publicly, welcomed the outcast, and went to the cross without flinching. This episode is a conversation with Derek Mack about what genuine biblical masculinity actually looks like when Jesus is the model instead of culture.

In this episode:
• Why our domesticated version of Jesus has produced a domesticated version of men
• The Greek word androzomai — play the man — and why Polycarp heard it from heaven before he burned
• Andrew Tate and why half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies
• The Peter Pan generation — living in Neverland, escaping into video games, avoiding the call to grow up
• Why the fatherless crisis is at the center of everything happening with men right now
• 1 Corinthians 16:13 and the call to be on guard, stand firm, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love
• Stop waiting for permission to be strong
