Patriarchy Is God’s Blessing
06 September 2025
Dave Pellowe argues that patriarchy, rightly understood, is a God-ordained system of sacrificial male leadership, not oppression. He critiques feminism for rejecting the biblical distinctions between the roles and functions of men and women, while acknowledging abuses by some men that distort true manhood. Grounded in Ephesians 5, he calls for repentance, restoration and a return to biblical roles as the foundation for flourishing families and society.
Culture in Historical Context I
06 September 2025
Andrew Gray addresses the global masculine identity crisis by distinguishing between created maleness and formed, Godly manhood. He identifies rejection of God and fatherlessness as primary causes, urging men to stop apologizing for their masculinity. Through wrestling with God, men can achieve a transformative identity shift to provide, protect, and empower.
Different By Design
06 September 2025
Cindy McGarvie argues that modern societal issues stem from rejecting God’s complementary design for the sexes. She contends that the Industrial Revolution and feminist movements introduced lies that devalued masculine “regenerative” leadership and burdened women. McGarvie calls for the church to restore biblical headship to heal relationships and society.
Political Threats to Men
06 September 2025
Joshua Rowe argues that Australian manhood is in crisis due to political and cultural caricatures that scapegoat traditional masculinity. He identifies the decentralisation of family and church, alongside excessive state paternalism, as primary threats. Rowe concludes that true, virtuous masculinity is found only by emulating the self-sacrificial model of Jesus Christ.
Family Law is Killing Men
06 September 2025
Augusto Zimmerman, a former Law Reform Commissioner, argues that Australia’s family law system and child support schemes are driving a male suicide epidemic. He contends that the removal of the presumption of innocence in domestic violence orders facilitates parental alienation and tactical litigation. Zimmerman calls for urgent reform to protect natural justice.
Meek Ain’t Weak
06 September 2025
Andrew Baker argues that biblical meekness is not weakness but “strength under submission” harnessed for God’s purposes. Contrasting the “Jesus way” with worldly brutality or modern passivity, he contends that masculine strength is a divine gift meant for protecting others and advancing the kingdom rather than self-serving domination.
What Men Need from Women
06 September 2025
Ps. Noleen Sedra
argues that feminism is a demonic ideology rooted in the rebellion of Genesis 3, where Eve overstepped her role and Adam failed to lead. She contends that biblical submission and masculinity are divine gifts, urging men to reclaim their spiritual leadership and women to embrace their roles as helpers.
Thinking Like a Father
06 September 2025
Paul ‘PJ’ Bedwell argues that restoring biblical fatherhood and the absolute authority of Scripture is the only solution to modern identity crises and the “discipleship crisis”. He challenges Christians to prioritize family, model Christ-like discipline, and courageously uphold traditional biblical interpretations over cultural trends like egalitarianism to protect and prepare the next generation.
Toxic Masculinity
06 September 2025
Andrew Sedra argues that the Australian church has become “feminized” and “weak,” trading biblical conviction for secular tolerance and political apathy. He warns that this lack of masculine courage invites divine judgment through Islamic expansion and progressive governance. Ultimately, he calls for men to boldly proclaim the Word of God to reclaim the nation.
