Exploring the Impact of Toxic Masculinity on Male Identity

Pastor Matt Chandler addresses the cultural narrative of "toxic masculinity" that has left many men feeling discouraged, devalued, and demoralized. He begins a week-long exploration of biblical masculinity by examining God's unique biological design for men and setting up the question of why God created these differences.

• The American Psychological Association's 2018 guidelines denounced "traditional masculine ideology" as harmful
• Many men today struggle with loneliness, frustration, exhaustion, and negative generational patterns
• Being male (XY chromosomes) doesn't automatically make someone a man
• Genesis 2:7 shows God's intentional creation and positioning of man
• Men have biological differences including thicker skin, stronger bones, more muscle mass, and different brain structure
• The purpose behind these differences will be explored throughout the week
