Stand Firm and Act Like Men Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video
Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You Are
We've all seen the headlines. Masculinity is in crisis. Men are lost . . . and yet recent studies show a significant surge in young men reading the Bible and seeking the truth found in God's Word.
Stand Firm and Act Like Men is a call for Christian men to rediscover biblical manhood in a culture where masculinity is often misunderstood or maligned. Based in 1 Corinthians 16:13, bestselling author and pastor Joby Martin challenges men to embrace a life of courage, sacrifice, and strength anchored in love. He emphasizes that true manhood is not about cultural stereotypes but about surrendering to God, leading and protecting their families, and standing firm in faith. He critiques passivity and calls men to reject isolation, embrace humility, and live with purpose. Joby also highlights the importance of worship, community, and perseverance, urging men to fight pride and fear with faith and action.
This resource is a practical guide that addresses the lies men believe about themselves and their roles—such as inadequacy, rejection, and the pursuit of comfort. Joby uses biblical examples like David, Paul, and Jesus to illustrate what it means to stand firm and actually act like men. He also provides actionable steps for men to lead their families, serve their communities, and grow spiritually. With a mix of humor, personal anecdotes, and theological insights, the message of Stand Firm and Act Like Men is both convicting and empowering, calling men to rise to the challenge and live in a way that glorifies Christ.
