Tim Bayly was the first executive director of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. He joins to share his experiences in the early days of the complementarian movement and where we are today in gender theology in the church.

Mike Yarbrough joints me to discuss his new book on masculinity, Tending the Fire. We will chat about the five key principles of manhood he covers in the book: living deliberately, living courageously, living virtuously, living truthfully, and living spiritually.

Yarbrough also runs two men's oriented firms, a custom ring company called Rusted and Main (https://rusticandmain.com/) and as well as Wolf and Iron (https://wolfandiron.com/).
