Biblical Hub Of Manhood
- 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 frames 'act like men' with watchfulness, faithfulness, strength, and love as the surrounding actions.
- Joby Martin positions 'act like men' as the hub defined by those imperatives, not cultural stereotypes.
Manhood As Multifaceted Calling
- Masculinity is a multi-role identity: prophet, priest, servant-king, provider, and protector.
- Martin argues manhood is God's design and not reducible to muscles or money.
Gender Reflects Divine Order
- Genesis presents male and female as a binary reflection of God's character and image-bearing.
- Martin insists gender confusion attacks God's character and calls people to align body and mind with God's order.
