Summary
How did an ideology arise that condemns masculinity as dangerous and destructive? For example, a headline in the Washington Post reads: ”Why Can't We Hate Men?" A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, No Good Men, and Are Men Necessary? Nancy Pearcey joins the podcast to discuss her upcoming book which takes readers through American History to discover how the secular script for masculinity turned toxic--and what action we can take to fix it.
We often hear that Exhibit A of toxic behavior is evangelical Christian men. But the social sciences tell a very different story. Studies find that family men who attend church regularly test out as the most loving husbands and the most engaged fathers. They have the lowest rate of divorce and--here's the real stunner--the lowest rate of domestic violence of any group in America.
The sociological facts explode anti-male stereotypes and show that classic Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior and reconcile the sexes.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core |

| 1:06.7 | And some highlights for me in the conversation. |
| 1:09.3 | One of the biggest highlights and something I actually didn't know is that contrary to the |
| 1:13.7 | popular cultural narrative, conservative evangelical men, the data proves out that they |
| 1:20.1 | actually have the lowest levels of abuse and divorce, right? |
| 1:25.3 | We've all heard, oh don't we all hear all the time that Christians have the same divorce |
| 1:29.6 | rates as the rest of society is actually not true. |
