Stand Firm and Act Like Men

Becoming the Man You Were Created to Be Instead of Who the World Says You Are

From a bestselling author and pastor, a straight-talk, no-nonsense guide to becoming the man God calls you to be.

We’ve all seen the headlines. Masculinity is in crisis. Men are lost. What’s the matter with men? We are confused about what masculinity is and what roles men play in our culture.

Manhood, says Joby Martin, is harder than ever because we have forgotten what true masculinity looks like. Real, Biblical manhood is not about driving big trucks, having the biggest guns, or hunting the biggest buck. (Though he’s a big fan of all of those, truth be told.) True men of God surrender themselves before the cross, serve and lead their families, put on the full armor of God, and stand guard against the lies that threaten to tear our churches and our culture apart.

In this book, Pastor Joby walks through what the Bible means when it says, ‘be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, and let all that you do be done in love’ (1 Corinthians 16:13). He guides listeners through what scripture says about who men are, how they should act, and what it means to be a man in today’s culture, and he asks tough questions about how God calls men to respond.

Stand Firm and Act Like Men is a call for men to rediscover Biblical manhood in their churches and cities, and to love, serve, and support their families and one another.

A Bold, Biblical Call to True Manhood

“If you want to stand as a man, bow to the King.” That line from Pastor Joby Martin sums up this entire book — powerful, humbling, and deeply Christ-centered. Stand Firm and Act Like Men takes the foundation laid by Wild at Heart and builds on it with real-world wisdom, scripture, and stories that challenge and inspire.

As a husband, father, and leader, I was convicted and encouraged on every chapter. Pastor Joby doesn’t just talk about masculinity — he calls us to live it out with courage, faith, and grace. This book will sharpen your heart, strengthen your walk, and remind you what it truly means to be a man after God’s own heart.

Shut up and jump

This book was amazing. It speaks right to your heart and soul. Pastor Joby is a great man of God.
