What word do you associate with “masculinity”?
Guesses are, ‘toxic’ is high on the list.
With so many “damaged men” portrayed in our literature – especially in schools – what hope can young boys in the global west have of finding a good role model?
Perhaps it’s time we broadened what the typical “man” looked like.
Only when we do that will sayings like “boys will be boys” be a thing of the past.
Where are we going as a society? And will you be happy when we get there? Steve McAlpine is here to help you answer those questions.
If a Delorean time machine pulled up in front of your house – Back To The Future style – and someone offered to show you what the future would be like, would you be content with what you found? And if not, what could you do to change it? Thinking this through is what Steve McAlpine calls Delorean Philosophy.
Steve McAlpine is a well-known social commentator, respected theologian and popular author. Each week, he takes a crucial trend or event that’s playing out in society now and asks, “Where is this taking us?”
Rather than just pontificating, Steve then provides practical steps listeners can take if they want to change the future. That’s Delorean Philosophy.
