As young men, we have a tendency to mess up the very things that mean the most to us--relationships, education, romance, opportunity, and even our very bodies. When the crisis moments hits, we can either see it as a wake-up call and bounce back or we can play the victim--and be lost forever.

When we do things we know we shouldn't, when we try to do good and can't, and when our actions don't reflect our best intentions, we like to make excuses. Maybe we'll explain how it wasn't really our fault. Maybe we'll blame the Devil. Maybe we'll just back out and claim we never really meant to make it happen.

Excuses might make us feel better in the moment, but change--good, righteous, permanent change--can only spring from accountability.

We like to keep life nice, clean, comfortable, and quiet. We even invent rules--both written and unwritten--which keep those who might rock the boat in check. God gives us rules to live by (morals) and a government to protect and lead us (laws), but many of the other rules aren't doing the good we think they are...especially for the wild ones among us.

The expectations for young people--particularly young men--in this country are low. Too low. When we don't expect anything challenging or difficult from young men, they grow up soft, directionless, and without the toughness or skills they'll need in life, much less the strength--both mentally and spiritually.

The most prominent lie about the movement to restore christian manhood and live out our calling as men of God is that anyone who wants to help men (or is "pro-man") is automatically a misogynist who hates women or sees them as second-class citizens. This isn't true. Men and women, created equal in the eyes of God, are designed with different attributes, roles, and purposes, which, when fulfilled, create something more beautiful than the world can imagine--a picture of God's love for us.
