Darrin Patrick Offers a Powerful Message on "Who's the Man?"

Pastor Darrin Patrick has just penned an article on biblical manhood that is a must-read. I highly recommend it to you! BTW, Darrin will be one of the featured speakers at our May 3 Iron Sharpens Iron Conference in Springfield VA. Check out his spot-on article below and let it challenge you and encourage you! Also you may want to hear and meet him next Saturday - www.wacmm.org

"We need a vision for masculinity. We need a model. We need to see a man rooted and secure in his calling. A man with no crisis of identity--constantly trying to prove himself (Matthew 3:17). One who lived his life with passion and persistence. A man whose masculinity is worth imitating".

"Jesus is the vision for true masculinity.

  

"Men are experiencing an identity crisis. And we're short on role models. 
 

We're caught between Don Draper as the alpha male and a whole crew of omega males like Judd Apatow. One tries to express masculinity through power, possessions, and promiscuity. The other group has stopped trying altogether. Unlike us, these other guys seem to be getting something out of their isolation and discontentment, their rebellion, and their lack of discipline. We're stuck with pain and hardship.

 

"We need a more compelling vision for masculinity. We need to see a man so utterly rooted and secure in his identity that he can actually embody masculinity for us. A man with no crisis of identity, pursuing his calling with passion and persistence. A man whose masculinity is not vain and self-serving.

 

We need to look to Jesus, the true and perfect Man."
