Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from listeners like you. and just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you

live. Welcome to Susie Larson Live, always so honored to get to spend this time with you. In fact,

I look forward to bringing new conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your

faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his

very real presence in your life. Well, today's book that we're talking about today is about men,

but today's show is for both men and women. You know, years ago I had a conversation with one of

our listeners and he expressed his angst for the way men are constantly the butt of jokes,

on the receiving end of broad sweeping judgments, and so often misunderstood. And he gave this

example. He said, you know, on Mother's Day at church, women get a flower, they get pampered,

they get prayed for, they get blessed. On Father's Day, we're often yelled at from the pulpit

and we're dressed down right in front of our family, like we can't ever do things right.

And you know what, that may not always be true, but I think it feels true for many men.

So how are you, if you're a man, how are you supposed to be the man God called you to be?

Well, Brant Hansen joins me today to talk about, this is a brilliant book. And I'm telling you,

I think Kyle Idomen talked about how he manages to both hilariously, be hilariously funny and decidedly earnest. It's like there's this, he's so funny.

I laugh out loud one moment that I'm reading, and the next moment you get,

it packs a punch because there's so much great insight.

His book, listen to this, the men we need, God's purpose for the manly man,

the avid indoorsman, and any man willing to show up.

If you're a man or if you're a woman, which means this book is for everyone.

I want you to text to get in on the drawing.

Thanks to Baker Books, we've got five copies to give away.
