From the time we’re boys, the world starts whispering false definitions of what it means to be a man. “Don’t cry.” “Handle it yourself.” “Never show weakness.” “Success equals power.” These are lies dressed as strength, and they’re crushing men from the inside out.
Culture has sold us a counterfeit version of manhood—one built on ego, image, and independence. But real manhood doesn’t come from culture. It comes from Christ.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” — Romans 12:2 (ESV)
A godly man doesn’t conform—he transforms. He doesn’t chase the approval of men—he pursues the heart of God.
The world tells you masculinity is about domination, control, or pretending you’ve got it all together. But God calls men to be servants, defenders, protectors, and truth-bearers. Jesus wept. Jesus washed feet. Jesus stood up to evil. Jesus laid His life down. That’s manhood.
Reject the myth that you have to do it alone. Reject the myth that asking for help makes you weak. Reject the myth that success is about what you own or how much you earn.
Your identity isn’t in what you achieve—it’s in who you belong to.
Question of the Day:
What cultural myths about manhood have you believed, and what truth from God’s Word do you need to replace them with?
Let’s Pray:
God, I renounce the lies I’ve believed about what it means to be a man. Teach me the truth. Make me more like Jesus. Strip away the falsehood and rebuild me in Your image. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
Don’t settle for culture’s cheap version of manhood. Step into the freedom, strength, and purpose of the man God designed you to be.
