A culture that doesn’t “get it” can be exhausting. God created a complementary world—men as men and women as women. You’ve sensed that the idea men and women are interchangeable is false, and you’re tired of hearing that masculinity is toxic. But the answer isn’t found in the manosphere—it’s in the Bible. Jesus doesn’t just criticize broken masculinity (He calls it sin); He redeems it and sets the standard for manly virtue. His example gives you strength to pursue true masculinity in a chaotic world. “Consider Him…so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted” (Hebrews 12:3).
