Hi, everybody. Welcome to Your Move. I'm Andy Stanley, and today I'm going to teach you how to do something that you don't know how to do, that you think you know how to do, and once you learn how to do it, you'll be glad that you know. So stick around.

Today is actually part two of a mini-series because it's only two parts, and it's specifically

for men, modern men and our ancient scripts. And if you missed part one last week, I hope you'll

go back to men and listen or watch or save it for your son someday or maybe sit down and maybe

talk about it with your sons or your grandsons. But essentially, just to kind of catch you up, if you missed part one, last time we talked about the fact that every man, every man listening, every man in the world, this isn't a Christian thing or a religious thing, this is just kind of a thing thing, that every man, all of us, have made a decision. And we discussed this decision last time. The decision is, what does it mean to be a man? I mean, I've decided for me,

every man's decided for himself, what does it mean to be a man? Or they've come up, we've all come

up with our own definition of masculinity. If I were to say to you, hey, define masculinity or

what does it mean to be a man? I don't think I'd get many. I have no idea,

Andy. I have absolutely no idea what it means to be a man, right? I mean, you have a definition,

you have some idea, and so do I. Because in each of us, every man is subconsciously or maybe

intentionally, depending on how this works out for you, subconsciously or intentionally

trying to live out what it means to be a man, to live up to our responsibility in the roles or

however you view masculinity. So here's a general definition of masculinity or what it means to be a man.

And it has some wiggle room because we're sorting this out together. And we talked about

this last time. I didn't make this up. I adapted it from something else. Masculinity is basically a set

of attributes, behaviors, and roles generally associated with men and boys. That's kind of the general

definition. And every guy in here and every man listening, we all have some idea of what those

attributes are, those behaviors are, and those roles are,

in terms of our view of what it means to live out being a man.

But as we discovered last time, masculinity is not as self-evident as we assume.

Again, we think, well, everybody should kind of play by the same rules,

but we discovered last week not only does kind of play by the same rules, but we discovered last week, not only does not everybody play by the same rules generationally and historically men have played by a whole lot of different rules.
