What does it mean to be a man today? Shifting values and clashing voices in the public sphere create the impression that the goalposts are constantly moving. The search for a Christian or Biblical masculinity becomes even more complex. Can faith help to redefine manliness for a modern age? This webinar seeks to explore how boys can learn to become men, and even how men can learn to become themselves.
