iStock/EvgeniyShkolenkoEarlier this week, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel struggled to get through his segment when the topic turned to the horrific fires that have been ravaging much of southern California.“It has been terrible,” he said candidly, his voice breaking at the mention of how many of his friends and co-workers had already lost their homes.And it HAS been terrible. Disgusting and pathetic.”Now to be fair, it seemed obvious to me that Berry was mostly lashing out because of Kimmel’s comments about Trump, but be that as it may, “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks,” and his vitriol revealed a pervasive pattern in many of today’s Christian attitudes toward manhood, and it’s one I think we really need to address.“Crying like a little girl.”“Low-T narcissist.”“Disgusting and pathetic.”This is how much of conservative Christian culture has conditioned men to respond to any hint of emotion other than rage. No one accused the men who participated of “having low testosterone.” No one called them “pathetic” or “disgusting” for crying out loud.In 2 Corinthians 2:7, Paul (another alpha male) expresses that he’s written this letter “through many tears.”Peter wept bitterly when he denied Christ (Luke 22:62).Joseph cried so loudly when he was reunited with his brothers that the Egyptians heard him from the other room (Genesis 45:2).Jeremiah is known as “the weeping prophet.”Even Jesus wept.There’s a way to teach fortitude, resilience, and mental toughness that does not wage war on God’s design for human emotion. It’s rooted in deep security and health, not fear of man or an egotistical need to save face or bully others with the courage to risk vulnerability.God says He saves our tears in a bottle.
Many are hoping our best days are ahead of us, and they may be if we remember one thing
