Podcast appearances and mentions of Nancy R Pearcey

In certain corners of Western Civilization, being male is itself considered toxic. Nancy Pearcey addresses this perspective on masculinity in The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. Pearcey takes a broad view of societal trends, carefully examines Scripture, and provides a constructive way forward for the church.Autumn and Hunter highlight portions of Pearcey's argument and use her paradigm of the “good man” vs. the “real man” to answer a listener's question.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes by Nancy R.

Pearcey - https://amzn.to/3w21GC0- DEBATE: Is "Gay Christian" a Biblically Acceptable Identity for a Member of Christ's Church? -https://youtu.be/wZqD2Yp2Ons?si=5JweEFH0cEpAF2qv- “The Misplaced Identity of Gay Christianity” by Dr. Rosaria Butterfield - https://answersingenesis.org/christianity/christian-life/misplaced-identity-gay-christianity/

It's not uncommon to hear that the divorce rate is the same inside the Church as outside. Though it's not true, even Christians tend to repeat it as if it were. Both the kind of church a married couple attends, and how faithfully they attend, make a notable difference in marital stability.   In her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity, Nancy R. Pearcey, professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University refuted another widely held misnomer.   "Many people assume that most theologically conservative men are patriarchal and domineering. But sociological studies have refuted that negative stereotype. Compared to secular men, devout Christian family men who attend church regularly are more loving husbands and more engaged fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce. And astonishingly, they have the lowest rate of domestic violence of any major group in America."   The research Pearcey is referring to here was first published by sociologist Brad Wilcox in 2017. As Pearcey notes, this research seems unknown, especially by Christians quick to self-flagellate. For example, Pearcey continues, the “Christian” men with the highest divorce rates are those who are not actually in church. She explains:  "Most of these men are nominal Christians, which means they are not particularly devout and attend church rarely if at all. They are prone to pick up terms like headship and submission but interpret them through a secular lens of power and control. Surprisingly, research has found that nominal Christian men have the highest rates of divorce and domestic violence—even higher than secular men. …  Nominal men skew the statistics, creating the false impression that evangelical men as a group are abusive and domineering."  When Pearcey shared these stats online after her book came out, it elicited a cynical and even angry reaction. Pearcey responded by insisting that she did not share the data in defense of complementarianism.  "I simply report what the psychologists and sociologists find in their studies of complementarian men. I was totally surprised at how positively they test out. I've been asked why I focused on complementarian couples—the answer is that they are the ones being studied. They're the ones being attacked as inherently oppressive, abusive patriarchs."   Unsurprisingly, many responded with stories of bad behavior by men in conservative churches. But, of course, Pearcey was not asserting that abuse never occurs in conservative churches among those with conservative views about men and women. In fact, she opens her new book with the story of her own abusive, churchgoing father.  Rather, what Pearcey is arguing in The War on Toxic Masculinity is that a man's conservative views about gender roles aren't as important as his views of the importance and centrality of the family. These husbands, Wilcox has reported, “believe marriage is not primarily about individual fulfillment but about forming a stable, loving home to raise a family. They hold to an ideal of fidelity and permanence.” It is because of this view that conservative husbands tend to care about their family the way they do. And, among the positive outcomes are wives who tend to be “the happiest of all wives in America.”   Once again, Christianity proves to be good. It makes better humans, both men and women. It matters whether or not husbands and wives take the family seriously. It matters whether they think it's important to fulfill the creation mandate of Genesis 1,“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.” It matters whether they take seriously the words of Jesus when He quoted Genesis 2, that the husband and wife “are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”   Apparently, it really matters what men think about themselves, about women, and about families. Though men are often told there is something inherently wrong with being a male, as Pearcey writes, “The evidence shows 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.”   Pearcey's The Toxic War on Masculinity is especially important right now, given all the myths and the lies about men that are so often repeated in our world. It's thoughtful and sound, carefully researched and well-written. Even more, it's profoundly helpful.   As Pearcey exhorts us in her book, “We should be bold about bringing [the truth about men] into the public square.”   Thankfully, her book equips us to do just that.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Dr. Heather Peterson.

Inspired by Nancy R. Pearcey's new book The Toxic War on Masculinity, we compare the "Real" Man with the good men in fantastical stories.

Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” And she said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. - Judges 4:8-9   This Episode's Links: (All timestamps offset by 24-seconds) 00:00 – Judges 4 05:16 – Thoughts on the Reading 38:46 – Beauty – Wikipedia 45:58 – Midriff – Wikipedia 55:34 - 'Free the Nipple' movement: Women can now legally go topless in 6 states – Dillon Thompson, AOL 1:09:31 – The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, by Nancy R.

Nancy Pearcey joins Dr. Mark Turman to discuss the rise of secular masculinity, what makes a “good” man versus a “real” man, how Christianity makes men less misogynistic, not more, why young men are struggling, and how Christians can reclaim manhood.    Show notes:  Nancy Pearcey discusses why she wanted to write on masculinity, sharing her story of meeting Francis and Edith Schaeffer, converting from agnosticism, and her experience with an abusive father (3:01). She reflects on the history of masculinity, the growth of toxic masculinity during the Industrial Revolution, and why modern women seem to hate men (11:26). Pearcey talks about why she wrote the Toxic War on Masculinity, which delves into the ideas of Christ-like and secular masculinity (19:61). They reflect on the dangers of nominal Christianity, why dedicated evangelical men have the best marriages, but Christian-in-name-only men create the worst marriages (36:44). She says, “nominal Christian men can take the secular script and then sort of baptize it, and the end of actually living worse than secular men.” She provides a multitude of research demonstrating that men becoming evangelical Christians makes them less misogynistic (52:31). She closes by reflecting on the current landscape, how men are falling behind women in all areas, and how true Christians can reclaim masculinity in a healthy way (56:09).    NOTE: We've launched our summer campaign.

What exactly is wrong with being a man? If some sectors of our modern culture were honest with their beliefs, they'd say "everything." In her new book, The Toxic War on Masculinity - How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes, Professor Nancy R. Pearcey explores and examines why secular society has come to regard traditional masculine qualities as evil, and why faith -- especially Christian faith -- has led to happier couples and more satisfying relationships despite claims that such beliefs are oppressive, misogynist, and harmful. Prof. Pearcey joins the program to share some of the documented research that strongly suggests that relationships featuring traditional gender roles are happier, longer-lasting, and healthier.

Host Brandee Nielsen says: "This topic is not only urgent but critical for all singles. I recently read an article by Nancy R. Pearcey, about what she referred to as the current “hook-up culture” in silicon valley. The article suggests that “a hedonistic ethic pervades all our public institutions. Universities hold sex weeks where porn stars are speakers and sex toy companies display their wares.” "We live in a world today where sexual morality is nearly non-existent, and reduces human beings--or the human body, to a state of no meaning or no purpose. This fuels the sex industry and threatens young lives to fall victim to many waves of abuse. Sounds like a wave of abstience is in order!" Featured Guest: Dr. Asheia Wynne Dr. Asheia Wynne is the Founder of Waiting For Stratford.  A movement that empowers single women to focus on becoming the best version of themselves and practicing abstinence. Dr. Wynne joins us to share about her new book, also called Waiting For Stratford, which details her story of living a life of abstinence while insisting on working hard to change her environment.
