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.

Show Notes for Episode Twenty-Five of seX & whY: Global Health and Pandemic Responsiveness Through a Sex and Gender Lens Host: Jeannette Wolfe Guests:  McKinzie Gales – Fellow at the CDC and co-lead for Phase I of the multi-agency SAGER IOA project aimed at facilities' better collection, analysis, and use of sex-disaggregated data and gendered data for outbreak response.  Emelie Yonally Phillips – Global Health consultant specializing in Integrated Outcome Analysis     Definitions IOA - Integrated Outbreak Analysis SAGER - Sex and Gender Equity in Research  The IOA concept started in earnest in 2018 during the Eboli outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo after it became clear that more real time, comprehensive on the ground data was needed to best manage outbreaks in an efficient and effective manner.  The larger picture concept is that the IOA model sets up a system for increased interagency data sharing that included more comprehensive information about: How infections spread How individuals access health systems and how patterns might evolve over time How local sociocultural norms, behaviors and expectations, impact an outbreak response and community recovery    The IOA - Creates a more holistic response to outbreaks along the entire pipeline from prevention to treatment. It creates a model that puts lots of partners at the table including major players like Unicef, WHO, CDC, Doctors without Borders in addition to local governmental agencies and boots on the ground health care providers. Examples of data that may be exchanged include:  Surveillance data Health information systems data Programs data Community data Timeline event data Goal is to create an accessible stockpile of comprehensive data that is unique to a specific outbreak which can be used to  drive more efficacious and timely interventions.  Including a SAGER framework in an IOA model ensures that sex and gender related information is being collected and considered in outbreak:  Prevention Detection Management/Treatment  Response   Four phase project Phase 1: Literature review - how is sex and gender being considered in outbreak response Phase 2: Participatory engagement in real time projects that are using an IOA model and identifying what is already known about site specific sex and gender differences in tools/programs. Developing survey of response actors looking at their current understanding about sex and gender and how they are or are not collecting needed information and/or analyzing and using it to guide interventions. Create workshops and small groups to address challenges identified in survey, enhance education and brainstorm on how to overcome recognized barriers. Co-create practical recommendations and strategies to more systemically integrate sex and gender into the outbreak analysis process.  Phase 3: Collate Phase 2 responses from several different  outbreaks to develop a larger SAGER IOA model that can then be flexibly applied to future outbreaks.   Phase 4: Pilot testing in different outbreaks  Evaluating responses and further modification   Great resources Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof  More information about the SAGER Guidelines  Link to previous podcast with Dr Shjrin Heidari who was one of the fundamental drivers of developing the SAGER Guidelines.

While we may think that we live in a highly developed civilization, there’s still a large number of people suffering from gender-based violence, sexual trafficking, or “Honor Killings”. They are also called slaves of the 21st century, and the reason behind this is simply because they were born women. This book records stories of women's suffering in different parts of the world. It hopes to raise people’s awareness and enable more women to find hope in desperation.

Have you ever reached the point of not being able to keep your feelings in any longer? Did you fear you would be judged if you were to speak up?

Host, Mike Domitrz welcomes CAST members Barry Moniak, Darren Tipton, and Berni Xiong to discuss the important differences between speaking out and speaking up, how we can say our truths without negative energy and the benefits of being consistent.   The quote that inspired this conversation is: “Bravery, the courage to be — to live in the world without any deception and with tremendous kindness and caring for others. Bravery begins to heighten your existence.” from Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, by Chögyam Trungpa.   Subscribe to the Everyday Mindfulness Show.   Key Takeaways:   [1:08] Mike reads the quote and asks ‘how do we speak out against harm without doing harm?’ [6:03] Bernie encourages her community to speak up.
