Every man is being shaped by some kind of wisdom. The key question is-what type of wisdom is guiding us? Scripture doesn't suggest every form of wisdom produces a better, more flourishing life. In fact, it warns us of the opposite condition-we ought to be mightily aware of the possibility that we may be digesting and guided by worldly wisdom, which eventually leads to our own downfall, devastation, and death-yet it will feel so satisfying going down.
The Man You're Meant to Be acknowledges the cultural landscape men are facing, outside and within the walls of the Western church, and challenges them to pursue wisdom from above-rejecting the call of this wayward world to walk on the narrow road of discipleship. This is the path of true wisdom and the calling to Christ, himself, as we learn his ways and to surrender every aspect of our lives to God.Author Biography
