Young men today are falling behind in almost every category in society. Although there are some encouraging signs that this may be starting to change, many young men still struggle to gain momentum and thrive.
As a pastor and theology professor, I have been working with young men for over thirty years as we seek to grow as disciples and men of God. In those years, the challenges have never been greater, but neither have the opportunities. Especially after the isolation of Covid restrictions and the divisions of the past few years, I see a hunger to find meaning and connection and to be challenged.
But there is a gap between this hunger and the basic priorities and lifestyle that lead to finding what we are longing for. If I had to name the reasons for why many young men still struggle, I would start with distraction, dilution, and disobedience. In the face of these three threats, young men in our churches need a vision for wise, godly, joyful manhood in the present age.
From Distraction to Wisdom
