WHY A MANHOOD TRACK?

​

This track exists to prepare men to live holy and to lead well in their homes, the church, and the world by training them in the particulars of gospel-centered masculinity.
 

ABOUT THE NAME

​

We are going to let a good name emerge for this track during the first year. Whatever it becomes, it'll reflect the truth that masculinity is carrying weight for the good of others. It is the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility. It is saying no to laziness, fear, pride, and self-interest and yes to initiative, courage, humility, and self-denial. When men live this way, everyone thrives. This track exists to help men learn to carry this weight by believing the gospel and taking up their calling as husbands, fathers, culture-builders, and churchmen to the glory of God.
