About this episode
In a world trying to redefine manhood, what does it mean to stand firm and act like men? Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin, and Ali Parsons unpack God’s original design for men and women—strength under surrender, leadership rooted in love, and the courage to fail forward. From raising sons to honoring wives, this conversation is a call to reject comfort, embrace calling, and lead where God has placed you. 📣 Episode Mentions: Scripture Passage: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Genesis 1:26-3:21 Hosts: Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin and Ali Parsons Stand Firm and Act Like Men by Joby Martin Stand Firm with Gretchen Martin Devotional Wild At Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul by John Eldredge Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week: The Call to Biblical Manhood Where Have All the Good Men Gone? - Stand Firm and Act Like Men: Wk 1 (Full Service) Are You Living Safe Or Standing Firm? - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin S24E1 Stand Firm and Act Like Men Sermon Series Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin 🎙️ What We Discuss: 00:00 - Welcome & Opening Conversation 03:00 - Understanding the Heart of a Boy 08:15 - Raising Men, Not Boys 13:57 - Identity, Calling, and Complementary Design 19:11 - Men and Women on Mission Together 22:18 - Fearfully & Wonderfully Made 26:57 - Make the Standard Too High to Miss 29:15 - Born for the Wilderness, Formed for the Garden 33:25 - The Weight of Glory and the Call to Lead 40:36 - Dating, Courage, & the Lost Art of Failing Forward 45:42 - Pursuit, Initiation, & Risk in Real Relationships 49:15 - The Gift Every Man Needs: Freedom to Fail 52:22 - The Power of a Wife’s Words 58:02 - Men Need Respect.
