Girlfriends, episode number 281, Exodus 90 and authentic masculinity with Nathaniel Benversie.

Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living.

This week, I am talking

with Exodus 90s Nathaniel Benversy about a new book and a new project speaking to her that he is

launching somewhere near you. Let's dive into this topic.

Hey, welcome. I'm so glad you are here. Welcome to the Girlfriend's podcast. If this is your first time ever listening, welcome. I'm so happy you're here. I hope you're going to enjoy what we're sharing here and want to stick around for a while, become a real authentic member of the Girlfriend's community If you already are a member of the girlfriend's community, if you listen regularly, I want to thank

you for that, too. I want to thank you for all the ways you contribute to the things that we share

But I'm going to let Nathaniel speak to all of that because he speaks very well for what Exodus 90 is, what it isn't, who it's for, who it's not for, what its real goals are.

So I'm going to let him speak to all of that.

But the even more important thing that I think we should be talking about is how to support strong fatherhood.

Like what is authentic masculinity? What is fatherhood? What is the

value of it in our culture, in our world? In what ways does our culture denigrate fatherhood?

We talk a lot about the ways our culture denigrates motherhood, for sure I do in my book and

study through ascension, monipotent, in other kinds of resources that I share and a lot of the

content that we share here on the podcast. I talk about that all the time. But this is an opportunity

for us to really reflect on the value of fatherhood and some of the mixed messages that we receive

from our culture about the value of fatherhood or about what masculinity is and what its value is, what God's

plan is for male role in our family. So I'm really happy that Nathaniel agreed to come on and
