Significant Man RECHARGE

Maundy Thursday and Masculinity

Send us a textAs a man who works with other men on issues of improving as men, getting better as husbands and fathers, and doing that with a foundation of Jesus, faith, and Christianity, something that comes up often are discussions about the core concepts of masculinity. Today is Maundy Thursday, which is also known as Holy Thursday. It is a significant day in this holy week, moving towards Good Friday, and the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. By the way, the word Maundy comes from the Latin word mandatum, which means command and is in reference to Jesus’ commandment to love one another. Now you might be wondering, What’s the connection here between Maundy Thursday and masculinity?---To get the Significant Man INTEL series, click here:https://SignificantMan.com/intel

Josh Khachadourian | Jesus Set The Standard

Send us a textOur culture has lots to say about the topics of leadership and what standard men should follow these days. This has caused far too many men to struggle with ideas of leadership, masculinity, and falling into the trap of being the lone wolf.My guest today is Josh Khachadourian. Josh is a husband, father, leader, coach and host of the 'Raising The Standard' podcast. Josh has spent the last 20 years ascending the corporate ladder in a Fortune 100 company where he focused on building high performing teams and developing best in class leaders. He has encountered and observed the pressures today's men are facing. Most men are grappling for identity and struggling through challenges in life without a plan. Jesus provides a plan and sets a standard that is relatively unknown to the modern Christian man. His mission is to show men everywhere that Jesus is accessible, relatable, real and relevant. And his book ‘The Standard’ has been challenging, changing and calling men to raise the standard in their lives.
