Committed: Biblical Masculinity
Be sure to listen to the accompanying podcast to this book! Available wherever you listen to podcasts, Committed Masculinity is a limited series podcast that explores the issues and challenges facing Christian men who are serious about Jesus’ invitation to be a disciple. The podcast will review the content of each chapter of the book ” Biblical Masculinity” by Josh Brooker and then discuss the issues on each episode with special guests.
It’s safe to say that, as men, we have serious commitment issues.
As a culture, we have placed a very low premium on commitment and a much higher value on “keeping our options open.” Our technology both reflects this value and has helped reinforce it through things like streaming media, internet pornography, dating apps, and the gig economy. Research shows that all of this is making us flakier, more unreliable, and less committal. This lack of commitment, willpower, and focus to follow through has disastrous effects on our response to Jesus’ call to discipleship.
Not only do we have commitment issues, but we are also more confused in our culture about the topic of gender than ever before in human history. What does godly masculinity look like? Can a Christian man practice healthy, biblical masculinity?
“ Biblical Masculinity” explores these two issues and challenges Christian men to nine commitments of biblical masculinity. As committed men of God, our identity must be shaped first and foremost by the Lord Jesus Christ. Our commitments as men must be steadfast, faithful, firm, and unwavering.

"Am I committed to God's vision for me as a man?"
Really good for a men's group. Highly recommend. We did one chapter a week and answered the discussion questions. Really lays out what God wants us to be and references scripture.
