Stand Firm and Act Like Men

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

De: Joby Martin, Charles Martin - contributor

Narrado por: Joby Martin

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 Must Read for Men of All Ages

This book is a must read for men young and old. Joby presents the tools to hold yourself to a higher standard of manhood. I honestly believe that this book should be assigned reading for young men as they try to find their way in this world. Encourage yourself to become the man that your family and this world needs.

Outstanding! An absolute must!

Just shut up and jump and buy and listen to this audiobook! A must for young and old.

Best book ever!

Wish I had this resource before I got married and certainly before I let a divorce happen. If men and women would read this book together before marriage or when trouble starts brewing in the marriage, which it will, the divorce rate would go down to almost zero.

Guidelines based on Biblical truths

Joby Martin is an amazing man, who, like a lot of us, has things that still need work! Jobs holds nothing back in this book, sometimes smacking you in the virtual face with the hard truth that you may not want to hear... but this book WILL give you tools to Stand Firm & Act Like A Man!!

Life Changing Book

Joby’s words are so uplifting and filled with love. This book is exactly what every man in the world needs to hear. Thank you Joby!

Truly Inspiring and Life-Changing!

I cannot recommend this book enough for any man seeking genuine purpose and strength in today’s world. The author does an incredible job cutting through the noise of modern culture and offers timeless truth and encouragement. Each chapter is packed with wisdom, practical steps, and real-life examples that motivated me to grow as a leader, husband, and friend. It’s both a call to action and a source of comfort. If you want a book that will challenge you to rise above the ordinary and embrace your true calling, this is the one! I will definitely be gifting this to friends and family. Powerful, authentic, and uplifting from start to finish!

Biblical Manhood

This book is so needed for the next generation of men to learn what biblical manhood looks like. We need leaders in the home and in the church that are bold in their faith and lead through Jesus. Joby never fails to deliver his message and nails it again with this one.

Another Outstanding Book by Joby Martin and Charles Martin

What can I say, other than — another outstanding book by Joby Martin and Charles Martin! This is the third book I’ve listened to from these two, and it absolutely lives up to the standard they’ve set.

If you’re looking for a book where the author openly shares his own shortcomings and humbly connects them to scripture, then you're in for a real treat. Joby has a way of making the message feel personal, authentic, and deeply rooted in truth.

The storytelling is powerful, the biblical insight is rich, and the vulnerability is refreshing.

I highly recommend this to anyone looking to grow in their faith while being reminded that meek means to be strong and humble.
