#62 The Men We Long To Be w/Author Stephen Boyd

The Marcella Project - A podcast by Rev. Dr. Jackie Roese

Stephen Boyd, Professor of Religion and Public Engagement at Wake Forest, specializes in the history of Christianity and Christian thought, gender studies, and religion and public life. He’s authored multiple books on masculinity and what it means to be a man, and today we’ll be digging into his best-selling Christian book, The Men We Long To Be. In this book, Stephen argues that our patriarchal system socializes and conditions our men to become, what he calls, lonely warriors and desperate lovers.
