Let's Parent on Purpose: Christian Marriage, Parenting, and Discipleship 106 Manhood: Teaching a Biblical Identity Part 2
What does it mean to be a man? The answer to this question is as important as it’s ever been. But in a post-truth culture, the answer is muddier than ever. Giving our young men and women a clear vision for manhood will ground them and give them purpose in a constant shifting culture. Today’s podcast does exactly that. Starting with a simple definition to train our small children, I expand with Robert Lewis’ definition of a REAL Man to help guide our sons and daughters as they approach adulthood.
