Reclaiming Manhood: Identity, Responsibility & the Way of Jesus

What does it really mean to be a man today? In a world caught between toxic stereotypes, soft extremes, and constant cultural confusion, Dhati and Missie take a deeper look at how Scripture offers a better way.

In this conversation, Dhati unpacks a biblical vision of manhood shaped by identity—not insecurity. Drawing from Jesus’ life and character, he walks through the four anchors of godly manhood: rejecting passivity, accepting responsibility, leading courageously, and investing eternally.

Together they explore:

• Why so much of modern masculinity is rooted in insecurity

• How identity as image bearers frees men from cultural performance

• Emotional health, vulnerability, and the loneliness epidemic among men

• How strong men and strong women can thrive together without competition

• The dangers of overcorrection—from soft masculinity to toxic dominance

• Why Jesus is the clearest picture of what real manhood looks like

For missionaries, ministry leaders, and anyone discipling men in urban contexts, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a Christ-centered path forward.
