While Evans correctly states the focus of men in this interview: “All of them should be shifted to God’s definition of man, which means a male who is consistently operating under the rule of God over every area of his life,” the problem is the worship of women is imputed as Godliness. May His Name be praised! “Biblical manhood” illustrated.Īs to be expected, the traditional expectation of men to be the chattel servants of women are accentuated. Fallible men are not worthy of being followed, nor are the works of their hands, but only the one that lived a perfect life on this earth and died on the cross. Too often, people are discipleshiped into the man-made church, or to certain leaders instead of Christ. In the talk about discipleship, the target wasn’t Christ, but Tony Evans or the others that talked about being “leaders of men”. Then in the stress for discipleship, the proper focus of that discipleship was definitely questionable.

Christians very much should be different from the world (holy) because Christ is holy. The segment where one of them talks about “those people that are just plain weird” was rather shocking, as Scripture itself will delineate that those of Christ will be called out and separate from the world. They head worldly organizations which pander towards the world and encourage men into worldly vocations and interest. It showcases the prideful nature (Phariseeism) that many of the pastors and other speakers have in churches today. However, it threads the same old pathetic well-worn path most of the Churchians pull, the sins common to Churchianity and to traditional feminism. It pushes a definition and call to discipleship, and shows a message of pushing away from past faults into a message of grace. In its messages, it pushes men towards taking responsibility for their own actions and for following the dictates of God. As well, there are many admonishments directed towards men in order to push them towards “biblical manhood” as opposed to the definitions of manhood as given by the culture.įunctionally, the movie had some decent messages in and of themselves. They discuss their lives, bringing out a lot of the typical issues directed towards men such as pornography, sexual unfaithfulness, and other issues.

Tony Evans appears predominantly in this film along with others such as Kirk Franklin, Jon Kitna, Tony Dungy, and others. Foundationally, this movie is a documentary that purports to explore what it is to be a real man in a world where there is confusion about masculinity.
