Title: True Masculinity
Topic: Heroes
Discussed by Glenn Stanton
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
On November 7, a gunman killed twelve people at a California country music bar. And in the midst of the chaos and the mayhem, several men stepped up heroically. In a world that often labels masculinity toxic, this reflection of true masculinity should be lauded.
Glenn Stanton, with Focus on the Family, discusses this true display of manhood and how ordinary men often reflect good for their communities.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
How can men know if they will ever be a hero?
Are men too often ridiculed for being polite and “manly”?
What makes someone step up and put their life on the line?
Listen as Glenn Stanton reveals more information about the twelve men who stepped up to protect strangers in a bar…
Were any women saving others from harm during this attack? Although there aren’t reports of women jumping in harm’s way, Glenn does mention the heroic acts of the women after the attack.
How can parents teach their children, especially their sons, about true masculinity?

Title: God Recruits from the Pedestal, not the Pit.
Topic: Heroes
Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org
God has a habit of showing up in the midst of trouble, not in the absence of it.
After all, He found Daniel in a den of lions, Gideon in a hole, and Joseph in
prison. Where the world sees failure, God sees the future. He doesn’t take us
out of trouble; He enables us when we are in trouble.
God can take ordinary, everyday men and women and turn them into heroes. But who
are those heroes? The President? Our Elected Officials? John Horvat,
international speaker and author of “Return
to Order”, does not believe they are. “They have an
agenda…they don’t have the courage to fight the culture,” John says. They
seem to be totally consumed about elections and the legacy they are going to
leave. “Leadership is about doing the right thing,” he says.
The three military Americans who were on a train in a foreign land are true
heroes. They had a split second to react to a terrorist killing people and they
chose to take action rather than hide behind a seat. John believes our culture
must begin to applaud heroes and give them the recognition they deserve. Too
often we celebrate the wrong people for the wrong reasons. It’s time we get back
to what really matters. “Solutions don’t come from systems,” John
Horvat says, “they come from people.”
