A Bad Case of the Touchy Feelies

29 June 2023 By David Trounce

Loose lips sink ships - Sermo Humilis

It's a modern trope in our culture that men don't share their feelings and that this is some kind of problem to be overcome. This, of course, is absurd. Men share their feelings all day long.

The gospel calls us to maturity, to complete manhood. It's written in scripture and it's written in our DNA. The mind and body are geared for growth and are a metaphor for what is meant to happen as we grow in Christ.
