The Masculinity Crisis America Isn’t Talking About
Faith Facts
- Both progressive gender ideology and toxic masculinity influencers like Andrew Tate reject biblical manhood
- True masculinity rooted in Scripture calls men to servant leadership, not domination or abdication
- Christian men are called to protect, provide, and cherish women as image-bearers of God
America faces a masculinity crisis that neither the secular left nor internet provocateurs can solve. While progressive culture dismantles traditional manhood and toxic influencers promote exploitation, both paths lead our sons astray from God’s design.
The modern left has spent decades attacking masculinity itself, pushing gender confusion and celebrating the feminization of men. Drag performances in schools, attacks on fatherhood, and the erasure of male and female distinctions have left young men without healthy models.
Into this vacuum stepped figures like Andrew Tate, whose online empire peddles a counterfeit masculinity built on materialism, sexual conquest, and the objectification of women. His brand of manhood—now facing serious criminal allegations—represents everything biblical masculinity opposes.
Both models fail because both reject God’s blueprint. Progressive ideology denies the reality of manhood altogether. Tate-style influencers pervert it into selfish dominance.
Scripture offers a third way—one America desperately needs to rediscover. Biblical masculinity calls men to sacrificial love, not exploitation. Strength in service, not self-glorification. Leadership through humility, not domination.
The Apostle Paul instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—giving Himself up for her. This is the pattern: authority exercised through sacrifice, strength channeled toward protection, masculinity expressed in covenant faithfulness.
Christian men are commanded to honor women as co-heirs of grace, not trophies to collect or obstacles to eliminate. Real manhood protects the vulnerable, provides for families, and points others toward Christ.
Our culture’s confusion stems from rejecting this design. When men abandon their God-given roles, chaos follows. When they twist those roles into tyranny, destruction results.
The solution isn’t found in cultural Marxism’s war on manhood or in the hollow machismo of internet grifters. It’s found in returning to the unchanging truth of Scripture.
Fathers must disciple their sons in biblical manhood. Churches must preach it without apology. Communities must celebrate men who embody it—coaches who mentor, fathers who sacrifice, husbands who cherish, leaders who serve.
America’s boys deserve better than drag story hours and Andrew Tate videos. They deserve the truth: that God created them male for a purpose, that masculinity is good when rightly ordered, and that their greatest calling is to reflect Christ.
The battle for masculinity is ultimately a battle for the soul of our nation. Strong families require strong fathers. Healthy communities need godly men. The future depends on raising boys who understand that real strength protects the weak, real leadership serves others, and real manhood honors God.

Faith Facts
- Clyde and Gwen Antwine celebrated 70 years of marriage rooted in Christian service and missionary work across Europe and the United States.
- The couple met at a youth camp in Texas and built their relationship on shared faith, mission trips, and a commitment to mentoring young Christians.
- They helped establish a healthy church in Zurich, Switzerland, and continued to serve faithfully at Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma.
The Antwines first met as teenagers at a two-week encampment at Abilene Christian University. Clyde was 15 years old and sold his FFA prize-winning steer for $40 to attend. That is where he first saw Gwen, then 14, and asked to take her picture.
He carried that photograph in his wallet for five years before they reunited at Abilene Christian during his sophomore year. They married six months later.
“The last day of camp, I worked up the courage to ask her if I could take her picture, and she posed. And I put that picture in my wallet. I didn’t even know her name. I just knew she was pretty.”
After Clyde graduated, the couple boarded a boat for Europe in 1959. They served seven years in Zurich, helping to strengthen a young congregation of the Church of Christ. Their work laid a foundation that still bears fruit today.
Later the Antwines served in the German cities of Augsburg and Munich. After nearly two decades overseas, they returned to the United States. Clyde became missionary in residence at Oklahoma Christian University while Gwen served as office manager for The Christian Chronicle.
“Gwen would get you laughing and see the positive side when things got tough, and Clyde, in his quiet voice, would somehow say the exact words you needed to hear to keep you spiritually grounded.”
Their legacy continues through the many students they mentored for mission work. The Antwines never sought recognition. Their only goal was to prepare others for Kingdom service.
Today, Clyde still carries that original photograph of Gwen from their teenage years. Their story stands as a clear testimony of enduring love, steadfast faith, and lifelong commitment to the Lord’s work.
