Lt. General (R) William Gerald “Jerry” Boykin went after Pablo Escobar, served in the 101st Airborne in Vietnam, was part of launching U.S. Army Delta Force, fought in battles around the world – but the most difficult assignment he’s attempted is bringing back Biblical masculinity into America and the nations. Today on BraveMen we talk to a legend, a Christian statesman and a concerned father. He’s written a new book called Man to Man, laying out God's master plan for men and a man’s crucial role in culture. Restoring manhood as servant-leaders is key to saving the family and building a better world. General Boykin believes if men take up biblical mandates ordained by their Creator—no matter their color, nationality, station, upbringing, or education—a new vision can be cast and executed that will restore a civil and prosperous America and positive leadership in every nation. In a far reaching conversation we deal with a man’s purpose, what is masculinity and what God intended for a man’s mission in life. General Boykin is now executive vice-president of the Family Research Council in Washington D.C.
