The Rock of KC show

Summary: - 2 Tim. 1:1-5 - real Manhood knows the heart of God for the daughters of His heart - unless a man looks to Jesus, a man doesn't know how to treat a woman - God chose to make His entry point into the world through the holy space of a woman, to envold Himself inside of a woman, to drink of a woman, be held and nourished and cared for by a woman - that's the jolting truth of how God loves His daughters with His honor. - that Christ didn't degrade women in His talk, but He made women heroes in His stories - 3 ways God loves His daughters: 1. with His words 2. with His grace - He entrusted the veracity of His resurrection to the testimony fo the women 3. with His regard - let Christ shape your view of women - real Manhood never objectifies women. Real Manhood edifies women. - real Manhood means you don't get drunk, and a man can get drunk on a lot more than alcohol - you can choose your choices, but you can't choose your consequences - real Manhood means peer pressure only makes you stronger in Christ - real Manhood means you take responsibility for your body - a woman's immodesty is never an excuse for a man's irresponsibility - responsible men are response-able - you've got to be responsible for your attitude - real men never pressure but treasure. No one tries to crush a diamond - real manhood means you hallow womanhood - a woman is of your rib, who birthed your rib, who cupped your rib, who is meant to be gently cherished at your rib, at your side - the culture of boys will be boys - means girls will be garbage and you were made for more than this - mom's have the ability to influence and to impact their sons for good, to show them what strength, humility, honor, really looks like.
