Stand Firm & Act Like Men: Becoming the man you were created to be instead of who the world says you are
What Does It Mean to Be a Man?
Masculinity is in crisis—men are confused, culture is loud, and true Biblical manhood feels harder than ever to find. In Stand Firm and Act Like Men, Pastor Joby Martin reminds us that real manhood isn’t about driving the biggest truck or having the biggest gun collection (though he won’t say no to either).
True men of God stand their ground where it counts: they surrender before the cross, lead and protect their families, put on the full armor of God, and guard against the lies that threaten to tear our homes, churches, and culture apart.
Rooted in 1 Corinthians 16:13, “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love,” this book is a clear, straightforward guide to what Scripture says about who men are and how they are called to live.
In his trademark straight-talk style, Joby calls men back to Biblical masculinity, not a stereotype, but a life of courage, sacrifice, and strength anchored in love. He tackles the tough questions, points men to Jesus, and invites them to stand firm in their faith, act like men, and step into the role God designed for them.
