Leonard Sax asserts that boys in the United States are not doing well at all.
In a recent interview, Leonard Sax asserts that boys in the United States are not doing well at all.
He is concerned that young men today are very often characterized by lack of motivation and underachievement. This is seen in their classroom performance, preoccupation with video games, delayed commitment to higher levels of responsibility (mainly marriage and vocation), and a prolonged dependence upon parents.
While the interview discusses many possible causes, I suspect that there is a more fundamental reason. Cultural confusion over gender roles has left us with the inability to articulate a clear and compelling vision of manhood. If there are no role differences, then it is difficult to say anything meaningful at all about the responsibilities men should and must embrace.
Sadly, the church has been deeply influenced by this cultural confusion and in many places seems to have lost the content of the biblical vision for manhood, or has lost the courage to proclaim it. CBMW exists because there is much more at stake in the gender debate other than who might be authorized to preach on Sunday mornings. The health of the home and the church are at risk and we can help give biblical admonition in this area.
You, too, can help support the ministry of CBMW. We are a non-profit organization that is fully-funded by individual gifts and ministry partnerships. Your contribution will go directly toward the production of more gospel-centered, church-equipping resources.
This new curriculum is aimed at Christians who are facing challenging questions with the rise of LGBT ideology on topics like homosexuality, transgenderism, gender dysphoria, intersex conditions, preferred pronouns, and more. The study is broken down into eight chapters that guide readers through the Bible’s teaching on gender, sexuality, and marriage. Male & Female He Created Them gives Christians with a biblical foundation that starts in Genesis 1 and 2 with God’s good design in making mankind male and female in His image.
Male & Female He Created Them: A Study on Gender, Sexuality, & Marriage can be purchased online at Christian Book, Christian Focus, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
