Much of masculinity in Christendom looks nothing like Jesus. It has been contaminated by secular culture and sanctioned using theological terms. Any theology that does not produce the fruit of Jesus is false.

#RedeemingPower
We are doing great damage to countless vulnerable people and to God’s church because people destroyed by abuse perpetrated by the powerful cannot use the fullness of their God-given gifts to bless his body. Those perpetrating the abuse are not gifting the church as God intended.
We simply keep repeating theological words almost like a mantra: leader, head, submission, authority, God ordained. We need to drag into the light those things we cover with familiar and good words & test them to see whether our labels & our applications are of God. Many are not.
