I am not going to sell you outrage. Outrage is cheap, it feels like conviction, and it has never built anything.
What I am offering is harder and it belongs to you the second you take it. A man who answers to Christ answers to nobody else's shifting standard. He leads a woman without needing her approval to feel like a man. He fathers a boy into something. He makes real money without apologizing for wanting it and gives it away without needing anyone to clap.
That man is not born. He is made, under heat, on purpose. That is the whole reason for the title.
I spent my twenties chasing what I had been told to chase, and I was hollow the entire time and certain I was about to be found out. I was old enough to be a man and I was playing the part, so I kept trying to borrow the feeling from women, and every time one of them believed me I felt more like a boy than before. On March 17, 2020, I tried to end my life. Two men I did not know came to me that day because they believed God sent them, and they sat with me and read Isaiah 43, and I have not been the same man since. Nobody welcomed me into manhood at twenty-two, and not having it cost me most of a decade.
If you are where I was that day, call or text 988.
It is short on purpose. The filler other people add to justify a price tag is gone. You will know inside ten pages whether I am telling you the truth.
