Awakened Heart Ministries - Dr. Scott Engelman

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that something dark and sinister is happening today right in front of our very eyes. Truth has collapsed. Morality has been overturned. Once trusted social institutions are unashamedly corrupt. Western Civilization, informed by Christianity, is being systematically dismantled by powerful forces for the crime of being oppressive, intolerant, bigoted, and hateful. Everything “good and right” is now being condemned as “bad and wrong”—including all who still dare hold to creational reality.
As Christian men, we rightly ask: Where is God in all this? Why is He allowing this to happen? Are these the “Last days’” or just an intensification of “this present evil day?” More importantly, how should we as men respond to the spiritual battle raging around us?
If these are the questions you have been asking, please join us for our new four-part series, “What on Earth is God Doing?” as we seek to answer these questions from the context of God’s Larger Story. We think this series will be biblically enlightening, spiritually refreshing and personally encouraging as its purpose is to help men better understand how they can actively participate with God in this current spiritual battle in a more thoughtful and effective way.

God made the World to flourish through Men who singularly trust and faithfully reflect their Creator by engaging life’s chaos with the courage of a Warrior and imagination of a Poet. When men live according to this Divine design their marriages, families, communities, and nations will thrive with “Shalom”—Life in this World as God intends it to be. But people are not thriving, and the World is not flourishing because men are not living according to design. Ever since the Fall in Genesis 3 something destructive has been passed down to every generation of men that has left their masculine souls confused, afraid, and stubbornly committed to avoiding chaos rather than engaging it. Instead of living as Warrior-Poets, men have devolved into “Dreamer-Destroyers”—sub-masculine men given over to absence, passivity, silence, anger, intimidation, and shame. No man wants to be like this. In fact, all men intuitively long to live as the masculine men God designed. But instead they feel stuck, hopeless, and powerless to change. And for this reason, the marriages, families, communities, and nations of the World are progressively descending into a chaotic, life-diminishing, anti-shalomic mess.

In this final talk of our series, “What is a Man?” we will address this all-important question: “Is there hope for Men?” Can men be restored to make a difference? Is it possible for a man to experience deep and real change from the inside-out? The kind of change that empowers him to not only “act like a man” (1 Cor 16:13), but to also bear the kind of good masculine fruit that brings order, beauty, and life to the Word, blesses others and honors God. If you are looking for this kind of God-sized hope, sit back and enjoy this final talk: Restored Masculinity: Living into God’s Good Design for Men.
