Christian men must come to understand that there has been a vast conspiracy to neuter them. They must decide before God that they are done cooperating with this demented program. You need to be masculine without permission. Without a license from the civil magistrate. Without a stamp of approval from effeminate elders. Without a permission slip from your wife.
The modern world sells you autonomy. Liberation from binding commitments. But you’re not fully alive when you’re untethered. You’re fully alive when you’re bound to something worth dying for. Your wife. Your children. That covenant is your glory, and your responsibility before God is total.
