Manhood As It Was Supposed to Be

Episode Summary. One of the greatest treasures given by God to his people is his revelation of how he created man and woman differently in Genesis 2. This episode examines God’s perfect design for masculinity. Christ wants to redeem every Christian man’s fallen, self-centered masculinity and restore him to the original design God displayed in creating unfallen Adam as a male. Christ came to fix everything that is broken in this world, including manhood. In Christ, the Second Adam, men are empowered to become the Christ-like man Adam was designed to be.

Responding to Our Culture’s Devaluing of Marriage

Episode Summary. As we continue our series, Guiding Our Loved Ones into a Biblical Worldview, this episode examines six biblical truths about God’s marriage design that are rooted in Genesis 2:24-25. There we read, Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

Why is marriage different from all other relationships, making it the foundational institution of society?
What does Genesis 2:24-25, the text we looked at, say about why God’s design of sex is profoundly tied to the institution of marriage?
How does the biblical view of marriage suggest that the biggest problem in our cities is probably neither racism or nor poverty, but fatherlessness?
