What does it actually mean to be a biblical man?
In this episode, Jonny sits down with Dr. Joel Beeke to cut through the cultural confusion about masculinity and lay out a Scripture-shaped vision for all men: strong and gentle, serving and leading.You’ll learn:
- The common misconceptions about masculinity (domineering, cold, or passive)
- Why a real man is both strong and gentle, modeled by Christ in John 13
- Why who you are before God in private matters more than what you accomplish
- What it means to be a prophet in your home: family worship, catechesis, and teaching your kids the Word
- What it means to be a priest: sacrificial love and praying for your wife and children (Job 1:5)
- What it means to be a king: protecting, defending, and guiding rather than dominating
- Encouragement for dads who feel they’ve missed years of family worship (Joel 2:25)
- How to love and pray for adult or rebellious children
Whether you’re a husband, a father, a future dad, or a grandfather, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to lead your family with humility, courage, and Christlike love.
