America UnCanceled: Mercedes Schlapp & Braeden Sorbo

In a world of beta males and toxic masculinity, men are losing their identity to their own detriment and the detriment of their spouses and children. “Embrace Masculinity: Lifting Men Up in a World That Pushes Them Down” aims to offer guidance for men to live into their masculinity in a healthy and Christian way. Author Braeden Sorbo joins Mercedes Schlapp to discuss. 

Through social media, television, and music, Gen Z is constantly bombarded with sexualized content that is fostering an unhealthy perception of love, relationships, and other people.  

“We as Generation Z have the hardest battle that any generation has ever had, and that is with lust. The Bible is very clear that every sin can be fought head on with the Lord’s help except for lust. Lust is the only sin that we are actively called to flee from, and with society making it more prevalent every single day, it becomes harder and harder to run from. It’s in music. It is in the media industry. It is in the social media world,” said Sorbo.  

Sorbo’s book seeks to correct this. In fact, the final chapter of his book breaks down the qualities men should strive for in themselves and the qualities that women should look for in a partner.  

“For the men, this is a guide. For the women, this is a checklist. This is what you should be looking for in an ideal spouse, a husband, a boyfriend, in someone you would want to surround yourself with,” said Sorbo.
