What does it mean to be a man?

And what does it mean to be a Christian man?

Is leadership all caught up in it?

Or is there something else going on?

That's what we're going to be talking about today on the Bear Marriage podcast.

I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from Bearmarriage.com where we'd like to talk about healthy evidence-based biblical advice for your sex life and your marriage. And we are coming up on the second last podcast of the season. We're going to be taking a break after next week. We have an awesome podcast next week. My husband and I are going to be doing some fun stuff and going through some fun clips with you. But after that, we're going to take a bit of a break for a month and then we'll be back around. So this is the second last one. And just a reminder, if you want to keep up with us, if you want to find out more of what's going on, we still do send out newsletters every Friday. Rebecca writes them, they're awesome. And you can get those even when we're on hiatus. You can just sign up for our newsletter list and the link is in the podcast notes. And then you're always going to get invitations to our new surveys that we're doing and to anything else that's going on. So take a look at that. Reminder, too, that if you want to help our podcast get

seen by more and more people, if you're watching it on YouTube right now, hit the subscribe

button and hit like every time you watch one of our podcast. It just helps YouTube algorithm kick in

and show it to more people. If you're listening to it elsewhere, remember to market five stars

and just tell other people about it. Share it on social media when you see a post that I made where I'm talking about the podcast. Share it to other people too. And of course, you can always join us in our patron group where we will be active, even joining our vacation, just talking about different things that come up. And you can find us at patreon.com slash bear marriage. And now, without further ado, I want to bring on a

friend of ours, Zachary Wagner, for our interview about manhood. Well, I am so pleased to bring

back on the podcast, someone who has, he's been here three times. Every time he's here, you guys

always really appreciate it. So here is Zachary Wagner. Hi, Zach. Yeah, thanks so much for

having me back. Great to be here. Back, no doubt by popular demand, it sounds. Oh, yes. Yes.

Actually, no, in all seriousness, I think that it is so healing for a lot of our listeners to hear

men who get it because it's easy to hear it from women.

But we have a couple of men that we have, that we've had on repeatedly. And yeah, people always say it's just so healing to hear that, no, there are guys that get it. Like there is hope for the church. And I think that's what you bring. I really appreciate that. Well, thank you. So Zachary wrote non-toxic masculinity. and we talked about that a couple of years ago when that launched.

And now you have another book which launched two days ago, I believe, Men of Virtue. And I don't know what your subtitle is. I don't know what any of my own subtitles are. I can give it to you. You ready for it? Yes. Give it to me. Yes. Men of virtue, how the fruit of the Spirit forms male character in the modern world.

And that's with Brazos Press.

Love it. So, yeah, at least on May 26th, as you said.
