    It’s time for our deep dive into Season 5 of The Chosen. We have the Last Supper told in reverse; apocalyptic visions and prophesies; passive-aggressive political backbiting in high places; not to mention a chaotic temple-clearing. Join us as we dissect the drama, the wit and the poignancy of Dallas Jenkins’ retelling of the first Passion Week from Palm Sunday to Gethsemane.

    Do not confuse emotional response, or lack of one, as a measure of spirituality, advises author Brant Hansen in the final section The Men We Need. We think this is a vital message for men, especially in a time when church services accentuate show biz trappings over spiritual nourishment. Emotion has its place, but self-control is a fruit of the spirit. The fellows talk about better ways to gauge spiritual growth, such as loyalty to God, everyday integrity and a committing to action even when it's hard.

    Whatever your age, the decisions you make now will have impact on you in the future. No one sets out to become a grumpy old man, but too many of us end up there. In The Men We Need, author Brant Hansen says wisdom has much more to do with opening your eyes than following your heart.

    In The Men We Need, author Brant Hansen addresses the significance of the Christian marriage covenant and why it's more than just "a piece of paper." We discuss the need for new models of marriage that remain Christian yet are relevant in a time when young men and women are encouraged to delay marriage until they establish themselves professionally and financially. We debate whether this is a good idea and if not, should churches provide assistance to young couples who want to marry yet lack financial stability. Is marriage a cornerstone or a capstone?

    Ambition, when directed correctly, is not a characteristic of toxic masculinity. In The Men We Need, author Brant Hansen states that even a simple man earns respect when he knows his worth, has specific goals for the growth of himself and his family, and puts in the time and effort to achieve them. And these goals should have little to do with wealth, power and prestige and everything to do his passion for the path the Lord has presented him. Yet as social dynamics force changes in household models, we also have an opportunity to apply the wisdom of the Gospel in this era when Moms outearn Dads, when gainful work means a part-time job and a side hustle, and there are lucrative career opportunities for men who choose not to attend college.

    Guarding safe space for your wife, children and community is a paramount role for men, says author Brant Hanson. We continue our study of Hansen’s The Men We Need, discussing the divine call to defend the weak and take up the cause of the oppressed. We look at the recent Internet hub-bub over “Phillies Karen.” Did the father wimp out or correctly assess the situation in choosing not to fight back? How much responsibility do you have for the safety of your neighborhood? Should you be the one to confront bullying, assault or child abuse in public when no one else will? And should you ever take a gun to church?

    Join us as we dive head on into a discussion of pornography addiction. Hardcore pornography is ubiquitous and has been all but normalized. For men ensnared in it, it is a compulsion driven by a need for dopamine hits, not “lust” or the desire to look at “dirty pictures.” We argue that caring congregations should shift from shaming porn users to offering the same counseling, treatment and caregiving they provide to drug and alcohol abuse: such as identifying underlying triggers that drive men to porn and finding healthy substitutes and outlets. In The Men We Need, author Brant Hansen says Christian men must commit to living a real life in the real world. Porn, as well as less controversial activities such as video games, scam users into embracing a fake world of fake relationships and fake achievements. We talk about breaking free of the temptation to “check out,” as Robert puts it, and finding purpose and self-work in the context of God’s plan for creation.
