The Church of Eleven22
teaching
October 20, 2025
In a world trying to redefine manhood, what does it mean to stand firm and act like men? Pastors Joby Martin, Charles Martin, and Ali Parsons unpack God’s original design for men and women—strength under surrender, leadership rooted in love, and the courage to fail forward. From raising sons to honoring wives, this conversation is a call to reject comfort, embrace calling, and lead where God has placed you.
