Reclaiming True Biblical Manhood: The 3 Marks of a Godly Man | Pastor Josh Shaw

In a culture pulling men toward two extremes—either total de-escalation and self-deprecation or aggressive, toxic domination—what does it actually mean to be a godly man? In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Josh cuts through the cultural noise to deliver a refreshing, counter-cultural, and deeply biblical look at masculinity. Drawing from Matthew 16, Mark 9, and the Book of Proverbs, he breaks down The 3 L's of Biblical Manhood: learning, listening, and lying down to serve. Discover how true kingdom leadership isn't about exerting power, but about sacrificial living that brings widespread human flourishing to marriages, families, and society. Whether you are a man looking to deepen your walk with Jesus or a woman wanting to support the men in your life, this message provides a roadmap for generational impact.
