Manly Friendships


Shirley MacLaine

One reason for the absence of male leadership in the church, the family, and the home is the absence of truly biblical, hearty, manly friendships. The Bible has much to say about these friendships. They have nothing to do with the contemporary vision of manhood and friendship. Today we see the machismo man, the effeminate man, the superficially sentimental man, the psychologically manipulated man, the angry man, and worse. But rarely do we see biblical men in deeply meaningful, biblical relationships with other men.

Now, in this two-CD message, Doug Phillips examines the biblical text on the issue of truly manly friendships. He examines the beauty and insights, as well as controversies surrounding the relationship of David and Jonathan. Using Scripture as the foundation, he explains what truly manly friendships look like, why they are so rare, and what men must be willing to do to achieve them. This is a heartwarming and practical message not only for men, but for the women and children who love them and who want them to be successful in Christ.

Sounds so... erotic!

I think this is the one VF lecture I've heard that was all that and maybe even a little bit more.

My mouth was hanging open.

Oh my god, you've listened to it? Jealous! I hadn't heard of it until today when I noticed it was being hawked on Gen Cedar as part of a VF Courageous 'movie pack'

I saw that product sometime back when I was looking through the VF site. I laughed at it. There is also similar product called Manly Dad and Son relationships or something like that.

It SO funny he mentions "effiminate" men. He is VERY well groomed, wears fussy clothing, and likes to dress up. Sounds pretty effiminate to me....

Pot, meet kettle :lol:

      Planning on scheduling my ankle surgery around Trump's Georgia trial - if I'm forced to be off my feet, I might as well be entertained.

      And yes, the Church actually has a blessing for beer.

      Stupid loneliness!
      Kid 1 went back to college (yeah! But sad foe me, she stayed with me all summer. It was nice to start a new phase in our mother/daughter relationship)
      Zero prospects on dates. (Not that I have tried online dating, scared of that but I have reached put to a new group at church, etc.
      I asked a friend to go to dinner the other night so I wasn't eating alone, again. The friend had plans, all my friends always have plans. I see stuff on social media, I'm never invited. I'm single, I'm the 3rd or 5th wheel.
      My one parent friend at kid 2's fall sport won't be there because their daughter made varsity (Yeah for her!!! Seriously happy for her. Sad for me for another sport I basically sit alone, did that majority of spring and summer sporting events.)
      And now I'm crying as my mom told me 2 different funny stores that former teachers remembered about my twin. Both stories were about how they got a crack out of my twin's antics (my parents went to a funeral today and saw former colleagues). Teachers remember me (after all I was a twin and teachers' kid) but none would have memorable stories of me. 
      I feel invisible. 
      Don't worry, this will pass,  it always does. I just need a pity party for a few days. I'm not in anyway going to harm myself. As lonely as I am, I have a very full life I (usually) love. I just needed to vent and cry for a moment. 
      If you are still reading this, thanks Fjer. 😊

      Absolutely awful about the fires on Maui. In 2019, I stayed in Lahaina. I liked to sit on the sea wall, which is the only structure left now, and watch the water. People are receiving help, but many had to leave pets. Please donate to the Maui Humane Society, which is leading efforts to find, treat, and reunite pets.

      Nebraska’s new football coach, who is involved in an organization called Man Up Ministries, labels certain players “Alphas” and sometimes “extreme Alphas” and the local paper has a nice piece on why people objecting to the term “alpha male” are wrong and it has a “nice ring”. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
