Most men today are struggling, grappling for their identity.

What or Who is “the standard” for being a real man? What does a good human being look like, a good husband and father… someone we all aspire to be?

In this life of imperfection, sin, poor choices and self-doubt, there is only one man that meets the needs of all men (all people) and His name is Jesus. He is the Standard.

He provides a plan and sets the standard that is relatively unknown to modern Christian men and really men everywhere seeking wisdom, strength, courage and love.

Today’s guest, Josh Khachadourian, is the author of The Standard, as well as a husband, father, leader, coach and host of the ‘Raising The Standard’ podcast.

"A real man can show his emotions... and he's just as much a man when he's on his knees, teaching a child or demonstrating an emotion that others might say 'oh that's too vulnerable.” -Josh Khachadourian
