SUMMARY
Men and women were created with roles. In our society, we often see men are not living up to the role that God calls them to. Now, there is always room for grace, but there also needs to be a realization of how men can live in response to the grace that God gives them - striving to be the man, husband, and father that they are created to be. In this episode, Rick and Brad talk about two ways that men tend to fail in our culture. Along with practical advice, listen in to hear how the Gospel calls men to live for more than themselves.
