What does real manhood look like in today’s world?
In this episode of Off Script, Neil sits down with Scott Nickell to dig deeper into week one of our Toy Stories series. Together they unpack what didn’t make it into Sunday’s sermon, everything from John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart to the cultural pressure young men face to delay marriage and family. Scott challenges the myths of adventure and success, points us back to faithfulness in the everyday, and names the upstream issues that ripple through families and culture when men step back instead of stepping up.
Where might God be calling you to stop being passive and take on responsibility?
