Rediscovering Biblical Manhood

The Stages of Masculinity: Manhood Uncovered

Recapping the stages of masculinity, which are all present to some degree at any period in a man’s life, and they all come together to make a whole and holy man. 

You are the son of a kind, strong, and engaged Father, a Father wise enough to guide you in the Way, generous enough to provide for your journey, offering to walk with you every step. This is perhaps the hardest thing for us to believe – really believe, down deep in our hearts, so that it changes us forever, changes the way we approach each day

The Stages of Masculinity: The Sage

Sage stage (60ish and beyond) — The silver-haired sage steps aside to let younger men carry the load, but he’s sought after for his wisdom and counsel. His kingdom may shrink — the kids have left the house, so that he might move into something smaller. He steps down from his role as president, and his income may shift to savings and investments made while he was king. But his influence ought to increase. This is not the time to pack off to the highlight of the twighlite or Leisure World — the kingdom needs him now as an elder at the gates. He might, in fact, be an elder in his church or serve on the board of education. His time is spent mentoring younger men, especially kings, as Merlin mentored Arthur as Paul mentored Timothy.

The Stages of Masculinity: The King

King. Whatever we have control over we need to exercise self-control, patient work ethic of service. The LEADER serves and if the LEADER doesn’t they are easily abusing power. God wants to entrust us with His power, kingdom and all his work, but we are often unprepared or unable to take on the pressures of the service HE DESIRES TO GIVE US. A true leader NEVER Lords it over, but Lords it under–figuring out how to do whatever they can to bless the group.
