Well, folks, our month of manhood is coming to a close. Officially, at least. Here's a list of the 29 posts we tagged with "biblical manhood" over the last several weeks:

• We opened with The Identity of a Biblical Man, from Pastor Mark's Trial sermon series.
• We next spent some quality times with the Four Chauvinists (No Sissy Stuff Sam, Success and Status Stewart, Give 'em Hell Hank, and I'm the Boss Bob) and the Four Cowards (Little Boy Larry, Sturdy Oak Owen, Hyper-Active Henry, and Good Time Gary) from the Marriage & Men sermon.
• A lot of people wanted to know Why Men Are Cultivators, Warriors, and Sages, from Pastor Mark's Proverbs series.
• Men I've Learned From: Joshua, Pastor Bill Simmonds showed us that what God asked of Joshua is analogous to what he asks of men today.
• What Women Think of Mars Hill Men, Part 1 and Part 2. (Hint: they think very highly of them.)
• Men I've Learned From: George Whitefield, Pastor Samuel, who also helpfully added what not to learn from the storied colonial preacher.
• A story about guys who have questions about Jesus, sex, and dinosaurs: What It's Like Being "the Christian Guy" on the Job Site.
• Then, we talked about sex Curt and Luke.
• Esquire magazine subtitled one issue "How to be a Man", and then proceeded to say that there were in fact no guides to manhood. Subsequently, Deacon Nick didn't learn much about manhood from Esquire.
• Pastor James wrote about 4 Inadvertent Examples of a Man in Pop Culture, and Tom Cruise was mentioned twice on the MH blog in a span of four days.
• Balancing Christ and Confucius, plus the follow-up, 10 Questions for the Asian Christian Man, both by Pastor Samuel
• The Rise of the Omega Male, Deacon Nick. True, no one was arguing that characters in Judd Apatow movies were any paragons of manhood in the first place.
• How Andy dates Naomi.
• Song Against Sex Outside of Marriage. Deacon Anthony on why sex with your spouse is glorious and why you, inherently, are not.
• There was one tongue-in-cheek post we tagged with biblical manhood that confused some people. Word to the wise: Cupcakes are not mentioned in the Bible, so any mention of them on the blog would necessarily not be serious.
• How to Partner with a Woman. In which Deacon Dustin puts down the Xbox controller and serves his wife.
• Pastor Dave grew up in a home "filled with guns and smelling like bacon." Now he's a father to four girls. Here's what he's learned.
• I found my pants. Now what? by Deacon Preston. This piece was semi-autobiographical.
• The world is filled with boys who can shave, Pastor Mark. And men are the glory of God.
• What I've Learned About Being a Man in Christ. The West Seattle men are all about identity, community, submitting to authority, riding bikes to tell people about Jesus in the late '60s, and Bible stories about fish.

All this said, this will hardly be the last time biblical manhood will be discussed at Mars Hill. In fact, you can bet that as long as Pastor Mark has breath, he will be exhorting men to find Jesus and their pants. But in all seriousness, we put all this up here so that you men could be educated and edified about what it means to be a man who's running hard toward Jesus. No one said it's easy to be a man in Christ, but it is what all men are made to be. Next up: the ladies. Three cheers for biblical womanhood. This series could not have happened without contributions from our volunteer writers, photographers, and graphic designers, as well as our pastors and deacons who all contributed to these posts. Many thanks to all of you.
