In this episode of the Radical Radiance podcast, host Rebecca George (and her husband Dustin George) sits down with Professor Nancy Pearcey to talk about the toxic war on masculinity. From mainstream publications promoting negativity towards men to books questioning their necessity, the episode explores the alarming trend. The episode also tackles issues such as the decrease in life expectancy for men, unemployment rates, and the need for compassion and support towards men and boys. It challenges stereotypes and provides research-based evidence to encourage a more balanced perspective on masculinity. This thought-provoking episode exposes societal hostility towards masculinity and encourages a more biblical perspective.


Nancy Pearcey is the author of The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, as well as Love Thy Body, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and Total Truth. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek, highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

Rebecca, Dustin and Nancy discuss:


The current cultural attack on masculinity
Criticism of the world's view on male headship in American Christianity
Criticism of toxic masculinity rhetoric and its impact on young men
Male unemployment and decreasing life expectancy
Research showing the positive qualities of evangelical men as husbands and fathers
Historical context of men's role in society and the impact of the Industrial Revolution
