The Pulpit and Porch

What Does It Actually Mean to Be a Man?Our culture has given men plenty of answers: be strong, provide, lead, don't show weakness, never cry. But what if we've been asking the wrong question?Anthony Curnutt has spent years helping men wrestle with what it means to be a husband, father, leader, and follower of Jesus. In this conversation, we talk about masculinity, loneliness, fatherhood, vulnerability, failure, and why Anthony believes the heart of biblical masculinity isn't strength at all, it's servanthood.Anthony also shares the powerful story of the moment his father looked at him as a rebellious teenager and simply said, "Jesus died for you." Years later, that moment still shapes the man he became.This is a conversation about what it really means to become the kind of man your family, your friends, and your faith are calling you to be.Real Men Ministrieshttps://www.realmenministries.usReal Men Talk PodcastAvailable wherever you listen to podcasts.Framework for Biblical MasculinityAnthony's book is available on Amazon.
