Dios diseñó al hombre para arriesgarse, dice John Eldredge. Si no, mire los sueños y anhelos escritos en el corazón de todo muchacho: Ser héroe, ser guerrero, vivir una vida de aventura y riesgo. Tristemente, la mayoría abandona esos sueños y anhelos… con la ayuda de un cristianismo que al parecer solo lo presiona a ser «un buen chico». No en balde muchos hombres evitan la iglesia, y los que no a menudo son pasivos y en extremo aburridos....

Discovering authentic manhood Most men find spiritual growth overcomplicated and beyond their reach. But it doesn't have to be that way. Society and the current culture around masculinity are adversely affecting their mission to achieve spiritual development and genuine manhood. Where does a man turn for an accurate definition of what it means to be a man? Perhaps, they should seek counsel from the very Creator of man and manhood. Genesis 2:7 says:...

Bestselling author and Bible teacher, Steve Farrar, reminds us through the story of Daniel that true courage can be ours daily and it comes from the one true Sovereign God. Everyone can recall as a young child having the courage to head out the door-whether it was to your first day of school, your first game in little league, or your piano lesson. Then life takes over and you lose your bravado, giving in to the fears of the world around you. In...

All dads desire to be better fathers and have a spiritual influence in the life of their kids. They long to improve but struggle to find practical guidance and encouragement along the way. Often, they end up feeling inadequate and don't even know why.

What does it take to be a "real" man? You don't have to be perfect to be a man of God. As Dr. Charles Stanley writes, a man of God is a maturing man, a striving man, a knowledgeable man. And the first step in real manhood is spiritual rebirth. In Man of God, Dr. Stanley asks and answers questions such as these: What can we learn about manhood from Jesus's example? How does a true leader allow God to lead him? Why is a godly man "both velvet and...

Men are in crisis. From every direction, they are presented with a deformed masculinity. One that sees women as conquests rather than partners. One that values success at work over success at home. One that hinders true and open friendships with other men who hold them up and hold them accountable. One that presents them as either the bumbling, disconnected dad in sitcoms or the predator in movies and video games (and the news). Men were made for...

Los hombres admiran a quienes reciben golpes y siguen adelante. Respetamos al boxeador que se levanta de la lona tras un golpe demoledor, y aguanta hasta el último asalto. La resistencia física es admirable, pero para ser los hombres que Dios quiere que seamos hace falta algo más que valor, sobre todo cuando nos enfrentamos a luchas personales que nos tocan de cerca. El sufrimiento emocional y los fracasos espirituales son muy distintos a los...

Survivors of sexual abuse face a long road to recovery. With every bump and bruise and setback, they may wonder if total healing is even possible. In fact, the feeling that "I should be healed by now" is one that every survivor will have to deal with at some time. A survivor himself, Cecil Murphey writes, "I absolutely affirm that God can produce such a miracle. I don't know of any, but I still think that it is possible." So how are survivors to...
