In this series, we’ve been bringing to light the problem that is toxic masculinity.
Toxic Masculinity:
Behaviors totally driven by and measured by inappropriate expressed violence, an unhealthy pursuit of sex and status with an avoidance of emotional vulnerability and accountability.
And we’ve been taking steps towards true masculitnity.
True masculinity rejects passivity and walks towards responsibility.

Understanding Male Friendships
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” —John 16:33 NIV
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.” —Matthew 7:24-27 NIV

Serve one another (Galatians 5:13)
Honor one another (Romans 12:10)
Accept one another (Romans 15:7)
Build up one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2)
Forgive one another (Ephesians 4:2, 32; Colossians 3:13)
Be patient with one another (Ephesians 4:2; Colossians 3:13)
Speak the truth to one another (Ephesians 4:15, 25)
Teach one another (Colossians 3:16)
Comfort one another (1 Thessalonians 4:18)
Encourage one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
Provoke one another to do good works (Hebrews 10:24)
Pray for one another (James 5:16)
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. —Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV
