Kingdom Man: Tony Evans Q&A

Tomorrow, LifeWay Men is hosting a live webcast with Tony Evans to discuss defining and raising the standard of biblical manhood as part of the launch of his new book, Kingdom Man.

Kingdom Man provides concepts for men to follow to help them actively pursue ways to develop and maximize the character qualities of biblical manhood in their lives.

Dr. Evans was kind enough to answer a few short questions about his new book for the blog. I hope you can join us for the webcast tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. CDT. More details are below.

Why is Kingdom Man timely?

The Kingdom Man content is timely because so much that is wrong in our culture is tied to the absence of men fulfilling their biblical role - family breakdown, lack of leadership and social disintegration.

It's timely because our nation is operating from such a spiritual deficit as well as economic chaos - which is a direct result of an absence of kingdom manhood.

Why is a book like Kingdom Man needed?

There is cultural decay - the decline in our schools can directly be tied to the breakdown of the family which is directly tied to men not fulfilling their roles.

What's the status of biblical manhood today?

Most men today are not ruled by God and His standard, they are ruled by the culture and media. This sets their standard and priorities - because culture's view of manhood is different than the Bible's view - men are going down the wrong road.

How does that affect our society?

Unless God's men rise up and take their roles on their jobs, in their homes, in the church and in their own personal life - there will not be sufficient leadership presence to turn the economy around and the order of society around. God will lack the vehicle to work through to make things different.

With the dropout rate, our future is in jeopardy unless men are being influencers - because the choices our young people are making are taking the future of our nation in the wrong direction. We need men to change the trajectory of this next generation.
