The War on Men
The culturally popular idea that masculine men are a problem to be solved threatens our whole society. Author Owen Strachen asserts that men who are assertive, risk-taking, and single-minded have been disappearing from families, communities, and churches, and we need them back! Today guest-host Mike Fabarez talks with Owen about what happens when men provide, protect, and lead for the good of others. Men, discover God's plan for your life and, women, discover why it's good for you, too!
