Patriarch’s Journal: This is war

Journal notes: Masculinity

Masculinity by its nature is separation and self-differentiation. We are created by God as unique and one-of-a-kind, bearing the imprint of his nature. Our general assignment is to be fruitful, to multiply, to fill the earth with good things, to have dominion over it, and to subdue it. We are to take the raw materials God gave us and do something creative with it.

Completed masculinity means that we have separated from the feminine, spent time in the wilderness discovering who we are, and then reunited with the feminine in marriage fully self-differentiated and in pursuit of our call from God.
