These days, men are commonly caricatured as bumbling idiots, overgrown children, or evil oppressors. These deceptions can seep into our minds and influence who we think we are as men of faith, husbands, and fathers. So in an effort to (calmly) rage against the machine, here are three prayers for those who would rather live with honour. We march forward with Paul’s words close at hand. Yes, he was writing to the Corinthians generally speaking, but they set our compass in a helpful direction: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you...

A Letter to My Younger Married Self

Priscilla Wong

Dear Younger Married Self, There will be moments when you look at yourself and your husband—as you both are—and wonder how you will overcome the obstacles that lay before you. You haven’t quite figured out how to navigate difficult conversations. Nor have you figured out how to freely share your vulnerabilities and hurts. Rarely have you ever had to fully express all that weighs on you to another human being—plainly, articulately, and fearlessly. You don’t think it’s in you. You’re too timid.
