When men try to impress women what words come to mind? I’m not talking about what actually works. I’m just asking: what do men, in general, think it takes to impress women?
We no longer have elders who sit in the village gate keeping order, dispensing wisdom, and judging disputes, but our society still needs those kinds of men.
Our society and our churches are filled with ambitious people who aim their lives at meaningless things, stupid things, self-serving things, or easy things.
We are suffocating men by refusing to give them permission to live with some ambition in their lives. But is this really what it looks like to follow Jesus?
