Our cultures are in crisis which stems from the destabilization of the family unit and subsequently our communities. A majority of men in American culture have become dangerously passive in their lives, homes, and communities. They have abandoned their posts, leaving their women and children exposed and unprotected.
Many males have become subject to feminism. Some through the radicalization of popular culture and others through the sheer lack of a male role model in the home. Culture teaches that men and women are the same in ability and roles. However, men and women are different by divine design. Men are to be providers, protectors, and pastors of their homes.
Biblical manhood is exactly that: biblical, not opinion-driven. We believe that all men have an obligation to God and community to live out the gospel as the providers, protectors, and pastors they are charged to be. Yet this cannot happen without proper instruction. We at Societal Glitch have written this page to be a resource and springboard for males seeking to step up to their divinely charged responsibility and lead their families and communities.
Male Leadership
Men are called to lead. Leaders are learners and readers. Men must read in order to learn how to be proper leaders. Reading is a skill we must all become comfortable with. It is not a “nice to have” but a requirement to absorb vital knowledge. While there is far more to male leadership it starts with learning what it means to be a man. It is important to note that leadership is not about power and authority. Leadership is about servant-hood.
