The Need for Biblical Masculinity | Ep. 64
11/02/22 • 51 min
Our society desperately needs Christian men to recover a right understanding of Biblical masculinity so that they can strengthen our homes, communities, and our society as a whole as God intended.
Despite the damaging effects that stem from a failure of men to accept responsibility and to love and lead their families as they are called to, our culture encourages prolonged adolescence, provides few helpful role models, and discourages men from fulfilling their God-given roles.
Unfortunately the church has often not done a great job at instilling true biblical masculinity — either failing to give it proper attention or doing little more than creating ‘manly’ social clubs or offering an occasional men’s retreat. There is much more work to do to recover a right understanding of what it means to be a godly man, husband, and father.
On this episode we speak with Jeremy Stalnecker about Biblical masculinity. Jeremy is a former Marine Corps infantry officer and is an author, speaker, and the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, which works with military veterans and others overcoming PTSD.
During our conversation we will define Biblical masculinity, examine the ways in which unhealthy views of manhood have negatively impacted our society, and discuss how we can recover a right understanding of godly masculinity and pass it on to the next generation.

Josh McDowell on The Existence of God | Ep. 63
There are three questions which every person must find answers to: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?
While secularism, naturalism, and relativism all attempt to provide satisfying answers to these questions, there can be no ultimate meaning in life without God. But in today’s culture the idea of the existence of God has largely been rejected.
This has resulted in a society that desperately needs to hear the evidence for believing in God and restoring Him to His rightful place in our lives.
On this episode, apologist Josh McDowell shares why belief in God is vital for finding meaning in life and provides evidence for His existence based on reason and observation.
His latest book, co-authored by Thomas Williams, is called How to Know God Exists: Solid Reasons to Believe in God, Discover Truth, and Find Meaning in Your Life. In it they use reason and common sense to show that only God provides answers to life’s most important questions.
During our conversation we’ll discuss the relationship between faith and reason, why secular worldviews fail to give meaning to life, and how the challenges to and criticisms of Christianity have changed over the six decades of his ministry.

Church History 101 | Ep. 65
A firm grasp of church history provides believers with encouragement to press on in the midst of difficulties, gives us warnings to avoid the mistakes of the past, and provides us with a better understanding of the men, women, and events that God has used to further His kingdom.
But where should a person begin in their study of the history of the church? Which events and eras are especially important, and who are some of the people that every Christian should be familiar with?
On this episode of the podcast we are joined once again by Troy Frasier, co-host of the Revived Thoughts podcast, which brings you some of history’s greatest sermons along with fascinating backstories about the life and times of the men who preached them.
In this conversation we will discuss why studying church history is important for every believer, which eras are especially interesting, key events that you should know about, and the best ways to further educate yourself about the history of Christianity.
We mention a lot of people and a lot of resources on this episode, so be sure to visit https://ReasonableTheology.org/Troy for the show notes and links to additional resources to dive deeper into church history.
