Mark Moore: The Missing Messiah & Recovering Biblical Masculinity | MTNPOD #179

Mark Moore, New Testament scholar and teaching pastor at Christ Church of the Valley, joins the MTNTOUGH Podcast to discuss his new book The Missing Messiah (co-authored with Kyle Idleman). He unpacks how modern culture has softened Jesus into a comfortable figure and why recovering biblical masculinity—rooted in responsibility, brotherhood, and Jesus as both Savior and Warrior-King—is essential for men, families, and society. From the roots of the masculinity crisis to practical calls for men to step into purpose, suffer well, and mentor the next generation, this conversation equips men to live always ready in every pillar of life.Join Dustin Diefenderfer, Founder of MTNTOUGH Fitness Lab and creator of the MTNTOUGH+ Fitness App in the top podcast for Mental Toughness and Mindset.
