Summary
What role does the 'man's man' have in Evangelical America? And how likely is it that those trends are traversing the Pacific to our own country?
Episode Description
With All Due Respect's Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit examine masculine Christianity in the United States and question what effect it might be having down under.
The episode kicks off with an interview with Kristen Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne, a publication that discovers the worship of Alpha Male role models in the American church.
Megan and Michael then examine the presence of Alpha Males in the Australian context, specifically the iconic Man From Snowy River.
And finally, our WADR hosts entertain us with a 'For Argument's Sake' about the effects such considerations have on the Australian Christian context.
