We are living in the age of grace. Despite that, however, our environment still has pervasive law-based teachings that lead to toxic masculinity. Under Mosaic Law, men are subjected to immense pressure to conform to rules contradictory to who God says they are. The “man law” that the world pushes at us prevents us from accepting responsibility for our actions and creates fear of showing others our authentic selves. This is a scary place to be because it takes courage to open up to others and honestly show them how vulnerable we are. Thankfully, we have Jesus Christ as our perfect model of manhood to follow. Most men have no idea what it means to be the head of a woman; connecting with God—the source of who made us—provides us with its true definition.
