## Resource

We are living in a confusing time for men. On one side, men are told to step back, soften, and suppress strength. On the other side, when they step forward, they are accused of being controlling or toxic. Many men feel caught between emasculation and accusation. But the real question is not: “What does society say a man should be?” The real question is: “What kind of man does God call a man to be?” Families don’t need perfect men. They need faithful men. Present men. Responsible men. Manning up is not about dominance. It is about responsibility.
