Masculinity is toxic. Oh, no, get rid of it once and for all. Oh my goodness.

Selena, you don't actually believe this to you. Not at all. Not even a little bit.

Because I happen to be masculine. I mean, I happen to be a man. I know. I know.

And so yet today, you know, it occurred to me that there is a unique power that women have.

Wives have. I'll say I'll say this women women. And so if you're a single guy like it's almost women in your life have this power over you and it's

they can encourage you with their words or they can just tear you down. I wouldn't know. I'm not a single man. They can cut to the core.

The cut to the bone and I know for husbands, that's for sure the case in that Selena, if you encourage me, it's like you're the wind beneath my wings.

Make a fly over the Eagles nest. Oh, yeah, we do talk about this a lot when we talk about communication and in marriage.

And we call it this like direct line that each other has exclusively to our hearts. And so my words tend and they should hold more weight than anyone else's.

Yeah, but on the con. Yeah, that's true. So words used well. God's word, of course.

Words used well can encourage but words used poorly can have the opposite effect. So today we're talking about this topic with our aptly titled video slash podcast episode five ways five sure fire ways to

emasculate your husband. So we'll see you on the other side.

So to be completely clear, we don't think masculinity in itself is toxic. That's just some recent thing that people started saying, you know, granted

men sin, okay, and sin is toxic and men have a way of living out their manliness in sinful ways. In other words, toxic ways.

There's also such a thing as toxic femininity, which no one wants to talk about that. Maybe people talk about that some point.

And it's sin. All right. It's just sin expressing itself through our society and through the roles that we either embrace or we reject.

Speaking of embracing a role, Selena, you are very, very pregnant. Right now. Thank you. Yeah. I know I'm saying that as a almost three weeks to keep our listeners and viewers.

Yeah, I'm surprised. I'm surprised I'm here to be honest. I kind of am too. Although, okay, so I think the baby will be born in 11 days. That's my. Yeah, that's what I'm. So we're trying to like figure out how we're going to keep.

You know, we're not going to be recording podcast episodes, but I don't want to leave. We put a few of the can't. No, we put a few of the can. But this is a good lead into talk to have some man talks.

Oh, yeah, Selena saying I should have some a man, a man month, where I just get on here and just rant and rave. Not ran rate. Just rant and rave about, you know, man things.

I don't know. I don't think I don't know if people want to see that or hear that. Maybe we'll see. I'm going to be tenning to my wife.

It's true. And my lovely brood of daughters. This is maybe this one is baby number four. So we up and about in about two days now.
