This episode of the Them Before Us podcast features a conversation with professor and author Nancy Pearcey, exploring what it means to truly love the body and uphold the dignity of the human person. Drawing from her book "Love Thy Body", Pearcey outlines the intellectual and personal journey that shaped her convictions and dives into the cultural narratives that separate humanity from both biological reality and God-given identity.Check out Love Thy Body on AmazonThe discussion unpacks how the separation of body and personhood is influencing today's most critical ethical issues, including abortion, transgender ideology, IVF, and surrogacy. Pearcey explains how this divide is used to justify everything from embryo destruction to the treatment of people as products.Nancy Pearcey brings reason, clarity, and hope to a conversation that matters deeply in today's world. Let us know what you think!Bio: Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, as well as The Toxic War on Masculinity, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 20 languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth.

In a world that is openly hostile to masculinity, does our faith offer a remedy? And what do we as Christian parents need to teach our sons and daughters? Consider these shocking examples of male-bashing in our culture: The Washington Post article by gender studies professor “Why Can't We Hate Men?” The New Stateman featured a British feminist writing, “ You can't live with them. You can't shoot them.” Trendy hashtag #killallmen T-shirts emblazoned with “So many men. So Little Ammunition.” Books titled: I Hate Men, The End of Men, and Are Men Necessary? A USA Today article states: “At today's universities, masculinity is almost never discussed except in negative terms, usually with the word ‘toxic' attached. John Stoltenberg, author of Refusing to Be a Man says, “Talking about ‘healthy masculinity' is like talking about ‘healthy cancer.'” Hugh Howey tweeted, “Testosterone is the problem… Women should be in charge of everything.” Testosterone is “a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system,” said James Cameron, director of the movie Media researcher, Jim Macnamara, conducted extensive content analysis of more than 2000 mass media portrayals of men (including news, feature articles, talk shows, etc.) found that more than 75% of all media representations of men portrayed them as “villains, aggressors, perverts, and philanderers.”   As parents, we are raising our boys in a toxic stew misandry (hatred, contempt, or prejudice against men or boys), and we should be concerned. Catherine's guest in this episode, Nancy Pearcey, has written the quintessential book defining the problem when it comes to masculinity in our culture, and she offers the only viable solution. The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes walks us through this intricate and critical conversation. Nancy's personal journey from victimization with an abusive father, to agnosticism and radical feminism, to affirming biblical masculinity gives her a unique perspective on this contentious subject. Nancy unpacks the real roots of so-called "toxic masculinity" and discusses why understanding this topic is pivotal for Christian families today. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Origins of Toxic Masculinity: Misconceptions abound about toxic masculinity and its origins. Nancy dismantled the myth that it started with 1960s feminism, explaining its roots in the post-Industrial Revolution era. She explores how men, distanced from home-based work, lost their nurturing roles, which led to more egocentric and aggressive behaviors. Cultural Hostility Towards Masculinity: The episode delves into societal attitudes, giving examples like misandric merchandise and high-profile statements against men. A shocking survey reveals that a significant percentage of men feel victimized by society's hostility towards typical male behavior. Positive Masculinity Scripts: Nancy emphasizes the importance of promoting the 'Good Man' script—values of honor, duty, integrity, and responsibility—over the toxic stereotypes often portrayed in media and culture. Encouraging men to recognize their innate capacity for good can be more effective than labeling them toxic. Pandemic's Impact on Fatherhood: The discussion touches on how the COVID-19 pandemic brought men closer to their families. Nancy shares compelling personal experiences and data showing men's desire for more flexible work arrangements post-pandemic to stay connected with their children and homes. Balancing Career and Family: Highlighting the historical perspective, Catherine and Nancy discuss how modern families are finding ways to intertwine economic activities with family life, much like the pre-industrial era. They share inspirational anecdotes of men balancing work and family commitments creatively. Join Catherine and Nancy as they navigate the contentious and critical topic of masculinity, offering hope, clarity, and actionable insights for Christian parents in today's chaotic world.

On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Professor Nancy Pearcey about her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. It's a rich conversation that draws on a wealth of social scientific and historical research about masculinity. Among the topics we discuss: The diagnosis of "toxic masculinity" and when the diagnosis itself becomes an attack on men The cultural perception of what it means to be a "good man" vs. a "real man" The significant divergence of research findings when it comes to committed Christian men and nominal Christian men  Historical roots of the masculine crisis in industrialization and social Darwinism The significance of the rise of "alpha male" influencers like Andrew Tate Counsel for families, parents, and pastors in addressing the crisis of masculinity Get the book, The Toxic War on Masculinity: https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-War-Masculinity-Christianity-Reconciles/dp/0801075734 More on Professor Pearcey: Nancy Pearcey's latest book is The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes.

Many of the ethical issues our culture is wrestling with have an underlying issue in common. The growing confusion we see around us on matters such as abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, transgenderism, and sexual promiscuity all flow downstream from our lack of understanding of what the human body is and means.One person who has sought to account for this confusion and to offer a corrective is Nancy Pearcey, professor of apologetics at Houston Baptist University, where she is also a scholar in residence. Many will be familiar with her previous books, such as Finding Truth and the award-winning Total Truth. Her book, Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, addresses the worldview that lies behind the huge cultural shifts we have recently experienced in the West—and provides a biblical account of what it means to be made in God's image as men and women.There is a reason the Ten Commandments start with the command to love and worship God above all other things: when our hearts are centered on God, only then are we empowered to fulfill the rest of the commandments that deal with behavior—what we do with our bodies. In this conversation about honoring our human bodies, Sammie and Nancy explore tough questions that Christians face as we navigate what this means in light of our identities.Professor Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, as well as The Toxic War on Masculinity, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth.

Have you ever wondered how we ended up in a world where masculinity gets a bad rap? You might have seen headlines like "Why Can't We Hate Men?" or come across hashtags like #KillAllMen. It's a trend that's hard to ignore, with articles titled "I Hate Men," "No Good Men," and "Are Men Necessary?" You might have also heard claims that evangelical Christian men are prime examples of toxic behaviour. However, the research tells a different story. Studies show that men who are committed to their families and attend church regularly are often the most loving husbands and dedicated fathers out there. And get this—they also have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence in the country.In her book, The Toxic War On Masculinity, Pearcey takes us on a journey through history to uncover how the idea of masculinity became tangled up with negativity. But it's not all doom and gloom. She's also armed with solutions for how we can turn things around. These sociological insights challenge the stereotypes we often hear about men and show us that embracing traditional Christian values can help bridge the gap between the sexes. So, next time you come across a #KillAllMen tweet or a book bashing masculinity, remember that there's more to the story—and that there are steps we can take to create a flourishing world for everyone.Nancy Pearcey's latest book is The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes.

On this episode of Gospel Spice, join Stephanie Rousselle in part two of her conversation with Professor Nancy Pearcey about toxic masculinity and the decline of the secular script for men. They explore Pearcey's book and discuss the cultural shifts and societal pressures that affect men today. They also share insightful research on the positive impact of Christianity on family dynamics and gender roles around the world. Finally, they discuss practical solutions for workplaces to promote better work-life balance for fathers and mothers alike. Listen in to learn more! Nancy Pearcey is an author and speaker who focuses on cultural, philosophical, and religious issues. She believes that toxic behavior in men can be reduced with better fathers. This is because the father-son relationship is crucial to the development of healthy masculinity, and currently, 40% of children in the United States are growing up without their natural fathers. Pearcey also explains that fathers are often mocked and ridiculed in the media, leading to a decline in men's motivation to become fathers. The Industrial Revolution disrupted the male-female and father-child relationships since fathers had to follow their work out of the home. This led to fathers being portrayed as irrelevant and incompetent parents. Pearcey suggests that practical solutions could involve tweaking the workplace to allow men to work from home more. During the pandemic, many fathers got closer to their children and discovered they enjoyed working from home, leading them to desire more balance between work and home life. Pearcey indicates through anecdotes that finding alternatives to the traditional industrial work situation is possible and necessary to achieve this balance. It has become socially acceptable to express open hostility against men even in respected media outlets. "Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks the Washington Post. Almost half of American men agree with the statement, “These days society seems to punish men just for acting like men.” In her new book, the bestselling author of LOVE THY BODY Nancy R. Pearcey explains how secularism has villainized the concept of masculinity. Toxic masculinity. You have heard the term. Where does it come from? What does it mean? What is the Biblical framework we need today as Christian men and women to tackle this hot button in our culture wars? Stephanie welcomes Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss the history, context, and biblical solutions for our generation. One of Stephanie's favorite quotes from Professor Pearcey is found in the book they are discussing today: “Christians should read with their worldview antennae poised to pick up underlying messages.” Stephanie welcomes Professor Pearcey in a two-part interview and, together they discuss topics that Stephanie chose from the book, and from Nancy's whole message throughout her many books: 1.       How have the roles of men and women have fluctuated throughout human history? How is this essential context to understand where we are today? 2.       Scientific Darwinism is mostly discredited today. How about social Darwinism? How is this generation equipped to handle it? 3.       How is the history of fatherhood relevant to the ruse of toxic versions of masculinity? 4.       What did men lose through the industrial revolution that they have not yet regained? What about women? 5.       How much do you think that your analysis applies to cultures outside the framework of Western thought? 6.       Tell us about the role of the workplace in making men more present fathers. 7.       How did culture occasionally take men “off the hook” and demand of women to “tame” them? How is this influential today? 8.       What about the response of the church in centuries past, and today? MORE ABOUT THE BOOK Purchase the book here: The Toxic War on Masculinity In three parts, “The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes” reveals the surprising answers to questions such as: • Where did the idea come from that masculinity is “toxic”? • What impact did secularism have on the script for masculinity? • How do Christian men shatter the negative stereotypes? Let's face it: When people complain that masculinity is toxic, they often point to evangelical men as their prime example. But findings from the social sciences debunk those charges. Research shows that committed Christian men who attend church regularly test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. These facts show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes—an unexpected finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing. We should be bold in bringing it into the public square. “Masculine traits are not intrinsically toxic. They are good when directed to virtuous ends,” Pearcey writes. “The Bible calls men to be both tough and tender, both courageous and caring.

Toxic masculinity. You have heard the term. Where does it come from? What does it mean? What is the Biblical framework we need today as Christian men and women to tackle this hot button in our culture wars? Stephanie welcomes Professor Nancy Pearcey to discuss the history, context, and biblical solutions for our generation. One of Stephanie's favorite quotes from Professor Pearcey is found in the book they are discussing today: “Christians should read with their worldview antennae poised to pick up underlying messages.” On this episode of Gospel Spice, host Stephanie Rousselle interviews best-selling author and speaker Nancy Pearcey about her upcoming book, "The Toxic War on Masculinity." Pearcey shares her personal journey from questioning her faith in high school to becoming a Christian through Schaefer's cultural apologetics approach. They explore the impact of Darwinism on our concepts of masculinity, the importance of understanding the worldview expressed in literature, and the value of a biblical approach to apologetics. Pearcey's writing focuses on cultural apologetics to address questions and provide answers for young people today, and her upcoming book provides insightful theological answers to the issue of toxic behavior in men. This episode is full of thought-provoking insights that will challenge listeners to think deeply about their faith and the culture around them. It has become socially acceptable to express open hostility against men even in respected media outlets. "Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks the Washington Post. Almost half of American men agree with the statement, “These days society seems to punish men just for acting like men.” In her new book, the bestselling author of LOVE THY BODY Nancy R. Pearcey explains how secularism has villainized the concept of masculinity. Stephanie welcomes Professor Pearcey in a two-part interview and, together they discuss topics that Stephanie chose from the book, and from Nancy's whole message throughout her many books: 1.       How have the roles of men and women have fluctuated throughout human history? How is this essential context to understand where we are today? 2.       Scientific Darwinism is mostly discredited today. How about social Darwinism? How is this generation equipped to handle it? 3.       How is the history of fatherhood relevant to the ruse of toxic versions of masculinity? 4.       What did men lose through the industrial revolution that they have not yet regained? What about women? 5.       How much do you think that your analysis applies to cultures outside the framework of Western thought? 6.       Tell us about the role of the workplace in making men more present fathers. 7.       How did culture occasionally take men “off the hook” and demand of women to “tame” them? How is this influential today? 8.       What about the response of the church in centuries past, and today? MORE ABOUT THE BOOK Purchase the book here: The Toxic War on Masculinity In three parts, “The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes” reveals the surprising answers to questions such as: • Where did the idea come from that masculinity is “toxic”? • What impact did secularism have on the script for masculinity? • How do Christian men shatter the negative stereotypes? Let's face it: When people complain that masculinity is toxic, they often point to evangelical men as their prime example. But findings from the social sciences debunk those charges. Research shows that committed Christian men who attend church regularly test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. These facts show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes—an unexpected finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing. We should be bold in bringing it into the public square. “Masculine traits are not intrinsically toxic. They are good when directed to virtuous ends,” Pearcey writes. “The Bible calls men to be both tough and tender, both courageous and caring. Men who know they are made in God's image can be full persons, reflecting all the rich dimensions of God's own character.”   MORE ABOUT PROFESSOR PEARCEY Nancy Pearcey is the author of the upcoming book The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes.

Travis and Nancy continue their conversation on the war on toxic masculinity. They discuss what biblical masculinity is and what it's not, what a "good man" is, the shape of the home, the industrial revolution, and some of the differences the data reveals between men and women. Nancy shows how the Bible gives a vision of masculinity that is actually not toxic, instead, it is healthy, wonderful, and necessary for the success of society.Nancy Pearcey is the author of the upcoming book The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes.

Two words: Toxic masculinity. It seems to be everywhere, from secular newspapers to Christian bookstores carry articles discussing toxic masculinity and for many the root of it, or one of the biggest culprits anyway, is Christian men. Is Christian masculinity toxic? We know that pundits are saying so, but what about the actual data? And what about the data from those who are not Christians? What does THAT data say? For many, subjects such as masculinity and femininity have become battlegrounds in our culture wars with Christianity in the crosshairs, but is the Christian view of masculinity actually toxic? Nancy Pearcey is back and her newest book challenges many of the secular notions of toxic masculinity.

God created everything with order and purpose, designed to flourish within its boundaries. This includes the human body and sexuality. The LGBTQIA+ revolution denies this order and design and, in so doing, denigrates both the human body and sexuality, leading to moral and social chaos. To see our nations flourish, the church needs to courageously champion a biblical view of creation and sexuality. At the beginning of "Pride Month," we talk with one of today's leading thinkers on these topics. Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality.

In Part 1, we cover Nancy's life trajectory and what led her to write this book, plus the major theme of the book which is to use Romans Chapter 1 as a primer in how to analyze any reductionism to find its flaw. My apologies, it gets cut off rather abruptly due to technical difficulties. To hear the rest of the discussion, here is the link to Part 2: https://youtu.be/bEYnlIqaGh4 Also I mentioned the YouTube channel, The Anadromist, and his publishing of the lectures by Hans Rookmaaker. Here is a lecture on art. https://youtu.be/zSdYF__ZWt4 In Part 2, linked above, we move on to the trajectory of philosophy since the Enlightenment and how the loss of enchantment has narrowed the frame for those who are seeking truth, especially how those trapped in a scientific reductionist frame have nowhere to look for the source of consciousness than a kind of pan psychism or panentheism. What did the Middle Ages have to say about that line of belief? Intro to Nancy Pearcey: Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality.

You'll want it on pre-order! We are wishing everyone a great last few days of August!In Love Thy Body, best-selling author Nancy Pearcey goes beyond politically correct talking points to offer a riveting exposé of the dehumanizing secularist ethos that shapes critical moral and socio-political issues of our day.

But there is hope. In the wasteland, we can cultivate a garden. We can discover a reality-based morality that expresses a positive, life-affirming view of the human person -- one that is more inspiring, more appealing and more liberating than the secular worldview." - Taken from the introduction to Love Thy BodyNancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality.

In our culture, today, there are so many ideas and voices competing with the voice of Truth found in the Word of God. Consequently, Christians have become more confused than ever with how to think Biblically regarding issues pertaining to gender and sexuality.

Deception Detection Radio Network                        presents         Soaring Eagle Radio with                  Mike Spaulding                 and Special Guest Nancy Pearcey In Mere Christianity, CS Lewis noted that, “Nearly all that we call human history... is one long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” The cultural mantra most often heard today is “don’t think just believe” and that is true whether you find yourself in a church, on a college campus, and even the workplace. Asking questions, especially questions that challenge the status quo are off-limits in many places and on many subjects. But does this uncritical approach to life really provide any emotional satisfaction? Is it really possible to go through life without assessing the reasons why we believe and act in certain ways as opposed to believing and acting in certain other ways? The fact is friends, people want answers to their very serious questions. This in turn means that people believe truth exists. Do you consider yourself prepared to answer questions from your friends, family, or co-workers? This episode of SER is my conversation with author and apologist Nancy Pearcey. Nancy bio Nancy Pearcey is the author of “Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity”, which won a 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award, and “How Now Shall We Live?” (coauthored by Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson), which won a 2000 ECPA Gold Medallion Award. Her most recent release and the subject of our conversation today is entitled “Finding Truth: 5 Principles for Unmasking Atheism, Secularism, and Other God Substitutes.” Pearcey has been a visiting scholar at Biola University’s Torrey Honors Institute, professor of worldview studies at Cairn University, and Francis A. Schaeffer scholar at the World Journalism Institute. Currently she is professor of apologetics and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, a fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and editor at large of The Pearcey Report. She holds a BA from Iowa State, a MA from Covenant Theological Seminary, and pursued graduate work in history of philosophy at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto.

In this episode of Theology Matters, Devin & Melissa Pellew of Ratio Christi Apologetics Alliance interview apologist, theologian, best-selling author and professor, Nancy Pearcey. We will discuss Pearcey's newly released book, Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions About Life and Sexuality. In her book, Pearcey fearlessly and with compassion, makes the case that secularism denigrates the body and destroys the basis for human rights. Throughout, Pearcey sets forth a holistic and humane alternative available to all -- one that offers authentic, reality-oriented solutions that embrace the dignity of the human body and provide a sustainable basis for unalienable human rights. Formerly an agnostic, Pearcey has been heralded as “America’s preeminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual” (The Economist) and in addition to Love Thy Body has authored Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity, which won a 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award, and How Now Shall We Live? (coauthored by Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson), which won a 2000 ECPA Gold Medallion Award, in addition to other works. Pearcey has been a visiting scholar at Biola University’s Torrey Honors Institute, professor of worldview studies at Cairn University, and Francis A. Schaeffer scholar at the World Journalism Institute. Currently she is professor of apologetics and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University, a fellow at the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and editor at large of The Pearcey Report.  

There's a lot for Catholics to "like" about the theme for the Church's 2013 World Communications Day. The theme? Social Networks: portals of truth and faith; new spaces for evangelization. Both the Catholic hierarchy and the faithful appear to be taking the internet more seriously than ever by focusing both attention and - of late - financial capital on internet - based evangelization. We'll be chatting with the five Catholic leaders whose new media efforts will help to explain this trend. They'll also tell us what they think should be next on the horizon for Catholics' use of new media in 2013 and beyond.Matt Warner, CEO and Co-Founder of Flocknote (http://www.flocknote.com/)Ashley Collins, Co-Founder of Peter and Paul Ministries  (http://www.peterandpaulministries.com) Devin Jones, Co-Founder of Peter and Paul MinistriesJosh Simmons, Founder and CEO of ECatholicWebsites.com (http://www.ecatholicwebsites.com/)Harold Fickett, Managing Editor (USA) for Aleteia.org  (http://www.aleteia.org/)
