👍 Worth It
Hughes lays out a genuinely comprehensive, biblically grounded framework for Christian manhood that's held up for over three decades in church small groups, and this 2025 update keeps it current. It's list-heavy, so take it a discipline at a time, and Lyle Blaker's professional narration makes it an easy, steady listen.
