#129 - Matt Chandler // Toxic Masculinity: A Christian Perspective

Pastor Matt Chandler addresses the cultural narrative of "toxic masculinity" that has left many men feeling discouraged, devalued, and demoralized. He begins a week-long exploration of biblical masculinity by examining God's unique biological design for men and setting up the question of why God created these differences.

• The American Psychological Association's 2018 guidelines denounced "traditional masculine ideology" as harmful
• Many men today struggle with loneliness, frustration, exhaustion, and negative generational patterns
• Being male (XY chromosomes) doesn't automatically make someone a man
• Genesis 2:7 shows God's intentional creation and positioning of man
• Men have biological differences including thicker skin, stronger bones, more muscle mass, and different brain structure
• The purpose behind these differences will be explored throughout the week
