Episode notes
Committed Christians Test Above Average
- Sociological research shows committed evangelical men report the most loving, engaged fathering and lowest domestic violence rates.
- Aggregated statistics hide this because nominal Christians skew averages downward.
Encourage The Good Man Script
- Affirm men's innate sense of the 'good man' by praising honor, responsibility, and sacrificial care.
- Use encouragement rather than accusations of toxicity to motivate change.
Nominal Faith Can Worsen Behavior
- Nominal Christians often adopt secular scripts for masculinity and then add a religious veneer.
- That mix can produce worse outcomes than secular men because it feels religiously justified.
