Oh, man! What’s going on with men these days? Across the board, statistics show that men are falling behind. Has our culture changed in a way that disadvantages them? Have accusations of “toxic masculinity” thrown men into a shame spiral that leaves them feeling helpless? Here’s the deal: Discussing this topic in no way means that we’re anti-woman or giving up the idea of gender equality. Today, you’ll hear Keith and Patrick examine the statistics, citing how men are falling behind in education, the labor force, and relationships and the resulting rise in “deaths of despair” among men. They’ll discuss our changing cultural attitudes toward men and some of the societal, structural challenges that men face. Finally, they propose some solutions to finding a positive vision for masculinity in a more equal world. This episode is sure to leave you thinking. Listen now!
Note: This episode is from our previous podcast, Truth Over Tribe. We’ve kept a few of these conversations on our feed because they're worth revisiting, but the tone and focus have shifted from what we’re doing now on Not Just Sunday. For new episodes focused on how Christians can live out a full-time faith, check out Not Just Sunday, right here on the same feed.
