Modern Men & Our Ancient Scripts

Modern Men & Our Ancient Scripts

Andy Stanley

Which version of masculinity are we actually following? Cultural scripts say power wins, dominance proves strength, and real men never lose. Jesus tells a different story—and it’s disruptive. This study invites men to wrestle with the gap between the Jesus we admire and the scripts we’ve inherited from family, culture, and even church.

It explores the everyday battles men face at home, at work, and in private spaces where no one is watching. It’s a call to a better script—one that doesn’t place men into one personality type but makes every kind of man better.

In this two-part small group study adapted from a live message, Andy Stanley addresses the script of masculinity handed to men from culture and the script of masculinity that’s found in Jesus.
