God doesn’t want us to cope. He wants us to lead. Start here.
We are using substitutes as crutches for what we’ve lost: a baseline expectation of healthy masculinity. We no longer have mentors to model it for us from boyhood. We no longer have a culture that calls us to it. Absent encouragement—with our nature even demonized—we seek dopamine hits to cope with the stress of life and downward spirals of guilt and shame.
This is where Fathers for Fathers is gathering men together to begin renewing themselves and each other. This is no ‘calling out’. This is a calling-up.
